Not much to tell. ^_^ Have a BA in Theatre Arts with a minor in English. Spend most of my time watching anime; playing video games and Dungeons and Dragons; reading comics, manga, and books; and doing housewife type stuff.
Japanese FestivalsOh, I want the little Winnie the Pooh toys that are floating around in the water. How cute. :)
I always thought the fish and turtle scooping games were interesting. I wonder how long they tend to live once take home?
In my home town, we had fest...
What brought you to Danny ChooA link Fred posted on MegaTokyo to, I think, a figure review. I started visiting off and on, but didn't join until I saw some post on censorship or something. And censorship always gets me fired up and I had to participate. :)
Summer Anime 2008I use VLC too, though it crashes every once in a while. Usually works fine.
Spent the summer watching: more Daughter of Twenty Faces, Chocolate Underground, Itazura na Kiss, Mahou Tsukai...Natsu no Sora, Natsume Yuujinchou, Nogizaka Haruka, Special...
Ueno Photo WalkA little late on this too. I'm also of the opinion that a what you choose to do shouldn't just be a "job." You'll never be happy if you just pick some "job," and don't even have any interest in it. That being said....
I've worked retail, which wa...
Nodame ParisSeen both the anime and the LA drama and loved them both. :) I can't wait for more of the anime series. It's easily one of my favorite shows. I spent several years in the music department of my university (as a singer, not an instrument player, t...
What is ArtThe difference is in how they're sexualized. The pic above, I mean, she's all wet in certain places and everything. It's clearly drawn to inspire certain...feelings. Although...one could argue that the particular painting you have pointed out is d...
Japan Net CafeWe have plenty of homeless people here. I don't remember giving money to beggers, though it's possible I have. I remember NOT giving any once (to some college aged kids who would probably have used it for weed anyway if i had), and they called me a...
Worst AnimeI enjoy most anime I see, but there are a few that I just didn't like at all.
Any Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Someday's Dreamers, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, Please Teacher, Please Twins, Trinity Blood, Fruits Basket (favorite manga, horrib...
Proud OtakuI'm not embarrassed about it, but then all the people I hang out with and talk to have similar interests. I'm into anime, video games, comic books, manga, dungeons and dragons, fantasy novels, etc, and in our group everyone is a fan of at least one...
Which Anime Character Best Resemble YouWell, he says I remind him of Fuu because I'm naive, clumsy, slightly ditzy, and bossy. So...I'm not sure I'm really happy with the comparison. ^_^
Emotional AnimeLOTS of them, but I'm kind of a pussy. ^_^
I bawled through the second half of Saikano (seriously, I started around episode 6 and just kept crying until the end). And I always cry whenever I watch Voices of a Distant Star. What else...Cowboy Bebo...
Strike WitchesBecause I don't like shows full of fan service? Being female, it's not really something that's going to draw me to a show, and the story in the first episode didn't impress me enough to interest me beyond that. I understand the "well they're at war...
Where do you go for Otaku ShoppingThe Fry's here has a huge DVD selection, and the anime section is almost a full shelf/aisle (one side). I try to go there first, because they have some of the older stuff, and usually what Best Buy won't have. Best Buy is probably better for newer...
Strike WitchesI couldn't get past all the pantsu. I can understand that it makes the jet boots easier to wear/draw or whatever, but they don't need to walk around 24/7 like that. Never made it past the first episode. If I want girls with "planes" I'll watch All...
Which Anime Character Best Resemble YouOh, the comparison is based on this photo and this avatar:

Which Anime Character Best Resemble YouI've been told that I look like Naru from Love Hina, and my fiancee says my personality is a lot like Fuu from Samurai Champloo.
Girls Clean Boys ToiletI'm wondering the same. Do they not have janitors in Japanese schools? In America, the students never have to clean up (aside from personal messes).
Where do you go for Otaku ShoppingFor anime I usually go to Fry's Electronics, which is basically a warehouse for Best Buy. They have a great selection, and it's well priced. For manga I go to either my comic book shop (where I pre-order all the new stuff I read) or Barnes and Nobl...
OlympicsI complete forgot it was on! I was watching a DVD or something instead, I think. Probably Escaflowne. But I believe the entire 4 hour spectacle is being released on DVD.
OlympicsWatching that guy from Togo win the bronze (the first medal ever for the small African country; although I don't know how long it's been a participating country) in kayaking was pretty sweet.
OlympicsI hate sports for the most part, but when I was flipping through channels last Saturday, I noticed how incredibly hot the guys at the Olympics are (specifically swimmers and gymnasts). I decided to watch after that. :)
I'm actually finding it real...
ComiketSo I read that some guy was arrested for threatening to throw a grenade at the people at Comiket? And that they're checking people's bags now? In the same article I read about a guy threatening to use a truck and knife (like in Akiba) to attack sin...
Closed - Translators WantedI'm really good with English; it was my minor. But not with any other language. ^_^ So if you ever need help with your English, I'm an excellent editor. Good luck to those who participated!
And, just as an off note, it all appears as question ma...
