Oddly, I stumble across an answer similar to this more often than I'd expected from an online anime forum site. Ah, it's good to be young.

Thats a little to hard. I may believe a little in God... Pets: If I had one it should be a parrot (or a cat -maybe both) - and its name would be Mester. Drink/Smoke: yep/ sometimes (usually combined with the former) Likes: Dancing, summer, sneakers, fashion, silence- nature, city life, (and the mood in the Cowboy Bebop movie really fascinated me) Dislikes: "Summer of 69", Bush (hope I'm allowed to say that), Denmarks government, NGE, the fact that all happends so fast (I'm getting confused - stop and let me think). Favorite anime: Samurai Champloo, Death note, Naruto, Ouran HSHC, Haruhi Suzumiya, fruit basket - i can't remember what I have seen. Favorite Books: Milan Kunderas books (they are amazing - try to read "The unbearable lightness of being"), the New Yorker trilogy, Haruki Murakamis books, of course Harry Potter and I can't recall all of the other books right now... Favorite Movies: Cowboy bebop (Knockin' on Heavens Door), Donnie Darko, Master and Commander, American beauty, Beyond (animatrix), The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Bear, The island on bird street, Akira, Spirited away and more Favorite Drink: Beer - its cheaper Non-Alcoholic Drink: Definitely not water - anything but that. Favorite Foods: Christmas food (for me that's duck, sweet potatoes, and some other things I don't know how to say in English) Favorite Sport (to watch): I think there is nothing more time wasting than watching sports... (its boring - year I'm a girl) Favorite Sport (to play): Volleyball!! Basket Favorite Music: Funk/soul, classic, folk, oldschool hip hop, electronic music, world and jazz - oh and I listen to soundtracks a lot... Occupation: Studying Hobbies: Watching anime (it swallows my entire spare time...for now), finding second hand clothes, reading, walking, daydreaming, finding new music, being childish (donald duck magazines ) and drawing a bit. Other facts: I suck at finding cool forum names - just look at the current one...Oh well I'm absent-minded I collect Donald Duck magazines with Don Rosa stories in it. I'm really confused about profilepictures...I'm a girl - am I supposed to have a boy or a girl as my avatar? I'm danish so please ignore my spelling/grammar... And thanks for a great forum with lots of quality in it:) |

You're definitely a Northern European.
The rule is boys have girl avatars and girls have boy avatars. |

Did someone call for me?  My apologies to one and all. I am severely slacking off in my welcoming duties in the past 2-3 months. My job has been crazy and constant 6 day double shifts and covering for other people has taken it's toll on my stamina and energy lately. Doesn't help my boss just left for 3 weeks to back to the old country (Vietnam) for some family business and I'm left to run the carryout myself. I promise though to get my act together and get those welcomes out more quickly.
So without further ado a big ANN belated and current welcome to thousandfold_perception, Charca, somakun, Yukonxcr, *kino_the_traveler*, Fuusamurai, vigilas1890, Capt Hungry, Kirkdawg, shinta66, eothemina, insocchick, HadouRemy, fokkusuhaundo, and Olliff. Hopefully you'll all find some small piece of anime paradise here and enjoy your stay. And if not.....well on you heh. It is nice to see someone else though who likes to bake as much as I do thousandfold. Do you prefer baking cakes, pies or breads? I myself love baking bread and pies personally. And Fuusamurai also gets +5 awesome points for having beer as his favorite drink heh. I'd love to know your brews of choice as a beer fan myself. You might also say hi to our very own Dannish moderator abunai. Maybe you can study the dark side under him and then one day you guys can launch in invasion and take over ANN. Then we'll have the Danish flag as our background under our new overlord abunai heh. I better shut up now before I give him anymore ideas.
And as part of you your welcomes everyone you all get you're very own mystery welcome bag of goodies for joining. *hands out a brown paper bag to everyone* So you lucky guys and gals are all the proud owners of 3 used spark plugs, 2 random chess pieces that have been chewed on slightly, 4 buttons of varying sizes and colors, and 3 pieces of crust from month old pizza. I hope you all enjoy your fabulous gifts and don't forget these words of wisdom as you enjoy your time here; Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. |

So anyway I finally registered. I'm kinda known to procrastinate but it's all good, I promise
Name: Ryan Nickname: most of my friends call me either Cuban, my dad's "official" nationality, or Valido, my last name. Sex: Male Location: Slidell, LA. 15 minutes out of New Orleans Marital Status: Single. Looking, but nowhere near desperate Age: 22 Ethnicity:1/2 mutt, 1/2 mutt. According to school records: Hispanic. In reality, pretty much everything. Guess I look white. Religion: Altered Christianity. heheh, no details. Pets: A skinny street cat and 2 dogs Drink/Smoke: I detest both. although I drank for a while then swore it off. Likes: In-depth discussion about things that don't matter. Dislikes: Otaku. Sorry, I lied. I guess English class, and I'm only just in 101 
Favorite anime: I refuse to answer this question. Favorite Manga (Light novels): I love spin-offs, like angelic days and the paper sisters side stories. Favorite game: Why, the one based on my favorite anime of course! Favorite TV shows/Movies: Scrubs Fav drink: 2, cocoa milk and RoOt BeEr Favorite Foods: cheap chinese takeout and all seafood, especially. boiled crawfish Favorite Sport (to watch):UFC, boxing, (staged) wrestling Favorite Sport (to play):Soccer, Martial Arts Favorite Music: Meh Job: I was just a drifter, searching for girls with wings. When I discovered they weren't real, I went back to school, working part-time doing post-Katrina construction. Also part time at best-buy working in computer department. I've had to stop doing independent work on computers because of that place but oh well. Hobbies: Drawing, video gaming (mainly fighting games), card gaming, competing with friends in trivial matters. Crap about me: I am the current leader in dvd count for anime between my circle of friends. There is a bottle of Jack Daniels from like 5 years ago on one of my anime bookshelves, surrounded by chibi figurines and the Halo3 helmet thing. I know more Japanese than I do Spanish. Still isn't much though. My car sucks. I am opinionated, but am pretty much accepting of just about anything that anyone says to me. Also fairly honest about myself. I also do the most computer crap of my friends/family/co-workers, whether it be repair work, some video editing, scripting and stuff. I try to write my own manga, but it's just stuff I never show anybody so don't worry about it. I live with mommy bless her soul.
I dislike guns, very much. Not because of war or self-defense, but when it comes to street fights, just unnecessary and cruel. I enjoy sad/bad/disappointing endings sometimes, so long as there is a freaking ending. I guess that's enough crap about me Favorite Quotes: I don't really know "where" it's from, but I've loved this one since I was younger. "Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Therefore, when you do insult them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes!"

Howdy y'all! There. Got my Texas greeting out of the way. Now I can talk normally.
Name: Matthew Sex: Male Blood Type: I have no clue. I donate blood from time to time but I've never had the common sense to ask what my blood type is when I go down there. Location: Waco, Texas. Interesting fact: I went to High School in the original Branch Davidian compound before David Koresh and his cronies moved to the one that got royally blown up. And for those of you who are curious.. that incident actually happened in Elk, Texas and NOT Waco. Walter Cronkite simply reported from Waco (since Elk would not let reporters stay at their hotels) and Waco got stuck with it! Marital Status: Single and lookin'. I've been looking for a girlfriend who loves Anime for a while now. They're kinda hard to find where I live!
Age: 22 Religion: Protestant Christian. God rocks! Pets: Two cats. One is 10 years old, black like a Halloween cat and the biggest flirt you'll ever know. Her name is Cleopatra. She's also a masochist. My other cat is 19, named Sassy. She's as fat as a bowling ball and likes to stare at the wall for hours on end. It's fascinating to her... don't ask me why. Drink/Smoke: No smoking, but I occasionally go out for a drink. My current favorite is sake (and no, not because I like Anime. I just like the taste). Likes: Archery, jogging, tanning, weightlifting, computers, reading, politics, Anime, socializing, baking various foods (even though I suck at it), and sampling new cuisine. Yum yum. I also volunteer at my old high school as an assistant Debate Coach. Can you imagine what it's like to deal with about 30 teenagers who try to argue you into a corner every weekday? o.O;; Thank God I love it. Dislikes: Stupid people. Period. I can't stand them. Favorite Anime: Ah! My Goddess. -_- I know, I'm such a wuss. I'm secretly a hopeless romantic, but shh. Favorite Manga: I'm not really into Manga yet. Favorite Books: Fantasy writing, particularly Forgotten Realms books. Favorite Game: Fallout 1 & 2, Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Marathon (1, 2, and Infinity), Myth: The Total Codex, Neverwinter Nights, and Resident Evil 4. Favorite TV Shows/Movies: Lost, Heroes, I Am Legend (almost anything with Will Smith in it) Favorite Drink: Sake!! Non-Alcoholic Drink: Virgin Piña Colada Favorite Foods: Lasagna, Cheesecake, anything chocolatey Favorite Sites: News sites and Anime sites in general Favorite Sport: Gymnastics, particularly watching the Olympics Favorite Sport (to play): Soccer and Baseball Favorite Music: Within Temptation, The Birthday Massacre, Red Job: Best Buy sales associate and full time college student. Hobbies: I sometimes make 3D artwork with Poser 7 but haven't really done that in a while. Weightlifting is a hobby I guess.. in addition to it being exercise. I enjoy watching movies with friends and trying to guess what's going to happen in political elections, that's tons of fun! And I also paint little metal figurines when I'm bored, even tho' I'm not that good. More About Me: I'm opinionated but unfortunately extremely gullible. Especially when it comes to phone pranks and being the butt of jokes. Poor me.
I love romance above all things. I'm still looking for my angel and unlike my friend who posted before me, I still believe they exist. I will nevaarrr give up searching! I just have to find her; she's out there somewhere.
Despite my opinionated nature, I'm very nurturing and have a kind of servant's mentality in most things. I just figure that the best way to change the world is to begin with yourself, you know? It's not easy and you get stepped on a lot but hey, at least you make the world a little bit better. I love learning. Teach me stuff and I will listen to you endlessly. And last but certainly not least, I'm a great shoulder to rest on. I try very hard to be empathetic to people. ------ So there's me in a nutshell! |
