About me:
Funniest Quote I've Heard: "It's a game I like to call, pin the tail on the Anti-Christ."
About Me? Well, let's quote my favorite character, Kakashi: "Things I like and things I hate...I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future...never really thought about it. As for my hobbies...I have lots of hobbies."
Okay, I'm done being silly. Anyway, there really isn't much to say about me...I'm a huge fan of anime, manga, Japanese rock and pop. I also have a general interest in Japanese culture. Right now my favorite band is Plastic Tree. I like a broad range of music, I've just been hung up on J-Rock. I love to draw, paint, and I used to be into sculpture, but it's been a long time. So yeah, I like art. I like video games as well, my favorites being RPGs (especially Square-Enix ones like the FF series). I wouldn't consider myself an avid gamer or anything like that though. That's pretty much it really....Feel free to IM me on AIM if you wanna chat. Screen name: ryutarofan
Who I'd like to meet: Well let's see...I definitely want to meet the members of Plastic Tree. I'd also love to meet Miyavi (he seems like such a fun person to be around). Actually, I'd enjoy meeting any member of any of my favorite J-Rock bands. Nomura Tetsuya...I love his character designs and he's worked on some of the greatest videogames in the universe. A lot of the other people I'd like to meet are dead so I won't be able to meet them for quite some time. Besides those listed...eventually I'd like to meet an all around nice guy that I can relax and feel comfortable with.

Hey, girl! Sorry that I haven't sent ya a comment lately. Work's got me busy. I don't get a day off until Tuesday. So, it sucks. But I do get holiday pay for Monday. Meh... My store is going through a major remodel right now. If they get it done by August, we get a bonus. If not, then we don't get it. I think that's BS. Eh... I've gotten a new idea for another novel. So, now that my 24 and Supernatural are over, I will have plenty of time to work on that. Maybe I can get another good one done. lol. We shall see. Well, I need to finish getting ready for work. I'll talk to ya later. Take care!
Hey, Mel! How have you been? I've been all right. I just got through working six straight to get the store ready for inventory. I have even managed to snatch some overtime, too. I finally got my transfer at work. April 11th is my first day in the Toy Department. A lot of people have told me that I'm crazy or insane for wanting to go over there, but I know that department and it's what I have wanted for a long time now. My diet is going all right. I've lost about 30 pounds now in the last three or so months. Well, I'll stop rambling now. I'll talk to ya later. Take care.

Hey, chick! How are ya? I'm all right, I guess. Sorry that I haven't commented until now. Things have been busy. My goals are doing all right. I'm still working on the losing weight thing. It's going very slowly. Work isn't much better, either. They have been cutting hours for the past month. It's really hurting the pocket when I see the paycheck. But I better get going. I need to finish getting ready for work. I'll talk to ya later. Take care. =^. ^=

Hey! How have you been? I've been alright. Just dealing with the same bull all the time. It never seems to end. Oh!!! Have you been watching Naruto Shippuuden? Oh, my Lord... It just keeps getting better and better. Well, I better get going. I need to run to the grocery store. I'll talk to ya later. Take care.
lose the spite factor, now that is the worst shame of all. we would have to regain it by starting a huge fire or something. oh, except its not actually at the HS and there are like 12 or so people going so maybe not so effective :-p
