I'm currently a homeschool student, who also attends homeschool co-ops. They're kind of like homeschool school, if you can get your mind around that. Heh heh...I've always grown up around anime (Pokemon, Sailormoon, Cardcaptors, etc.) and thus eventually got around to hearing the characters speak Japanese...maybe it was when I was I became tired of the stoned English voices, lol. But anyway, hearing Japanese through anime and through Hikaru Utada's Japanese version of Simple and Clean (KH ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!) and later on, her other songs....I decided I really liked how the language sounded, and decided to learn it. It's as hard as hell, but I'm trying, and I've been going at it for three full years now~! I'm not even near fluent, but I plan on being a translator in the future, so....Ganbarimasu ^_^!

I love anime, manga, and Korean/Taiwanese/Japanese dramas. East Asian cultures are the bomb ^_^. Uhm...movies, music, art, video games, Japanese Taiko drums, friends and dogs, are awesome...and I also love to travel ^_^, but who doesn't~!?

Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Samantha Who, American Idol, America's Next Top Model, That's So Raven, Survivor. Animes: Lovely Complex, CCS, DNAngel, Ouran Koukou Host Club, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Inuyasha, FMA, etc.

Many. Superbad WAS awesome, though, lol...(is referring to the movies they put in "Example"..)

Jpop, Jrock, Kpop, Cpop, Electronica, Rock, Big Band, Swing, etc. And yes, Dashboard Confessional is good, lol....
