Hachiban- high schooler, USA.

Also known as: Kidney or Spleen.

Has been on FF.net since August of 2005, prior to which I was lurking.

Switched fandoms and accounts, and went from het to yuri; the old account is still out there, gathering dust.

Favorite Media

I have problems with watching TV and movies- please don't ask, I don't understand why- so the only anime series that I have actually ever watched all the way through are Mai HiME and Mai Otome Zwei. I have seen at least a few anime movies, but none that are standalone besides some of the Miyazaki films. My favorite of those is either Mononoke Hime or Nausicaa.

I usually have a couple manga that are half being read and half being ignored. I get the American version of Shonen Jump and keep up with several manga in that manner, and I follow several webcomics. I keep waiting to find the third Strawberry Panic light novel at the bookstore I go to.

I love my daily newspaper and wish the industry wasn't failing- it's just not the same when you read it online.

I own no game systems other than a PC but am starting to turn into a Bioware whore all the same.

I mostly read fantasy, with some nonfiction, realistic fiction, science fiction, etc., etc. My favorite authors are Terry Pratchett, Tamora Pierce, and Garth Nix. I also read poetry whenever I end up with a book of it. I loved Sandman and the Hannibal Lecter books.
