About me:
I'm エイミー (Eimii), also known as Amy, Sakura Yosei, etc. I'm a 20 year old college student who loves Japan. I've been studying Japanese for a few years and may or may not take it up as a major, i haven't decided yet. However I currently work almost full time as a courtesy clerk at a grocery chain and have been since November of 2007. For those wondering what type of person i am, i like to think of myself as quiet (at first), gentle and selfless person. I'm also rather sensitive. I don't bite...to hard. lol
As I said before i love Japan. I'm very much into the music, animation, dramas, etc that are from there. Often times I'm quite behind on the entertainment world in the USA. I'm also an avid gamer and have been since age 3. I'm mostly an RPG and Fighting Game person but recently I've been wanting to branch out. So far so good with the quirky games they have for the Nintendo DS. So yes, I AM A FEMALE GAMER. shocking right? lol. ahem anyways...
I'm currently in a long distance relationship with a guy named Ben and have been since August 30th of 2004. We first met online at the now defunct Anime Agency boards and through mutual friends (Andrew, etc.). We are still quite happy ^^ I someday hope to move out to the Midwest as well. ^^
I currently live out in the Bay Area of California in the USA. Its a coastal town known as Santa Cruz, where hippies reign. I dunno, theres a lot here. lol. a lot of everything. Its quite the liberal town though. However we are very open and supportive of all view points. or so i like to think. I currently have not quite decided my political stances, however I'm leaning democratic. I still need to read up a bit more on politics, however i'm proud to participate every election since i turned 18.
As for religion, it has been a never ending struggle to find one for me. I often view myself as agnostic, and often times would tell people i was Atheist just so they would not pester me about it. However after thinking it over and discussing with my boyfriend I have come to identify with being Protestant, because of their practices. To this day however, i still feel rather uncomfortable being in an church. So i do not go often. I'm not overly fond of discussing religion as it is a very private matter for me, so please. don't bring it up :D
And again...for those wondering...YES I'M A FEMALE GAMER. YES I PLAY WOW. I'M A FEMALE WHO PLAYS A FEMALE. tired of all the questions...
