Name: EVA fiend.
 Heh, sorry but I make it a point not to post my real name anywhere online.
Sex: Female. Location: Somewhere in the UK. It ain't gonna get anymore specific than that as I have an online stalker. 
Marital Status: Married, to the most wonderful guy in the world - he has to be, as he puts up with my anime obsession. 
Age: 35 Religion: Hmm, agnostic I'd suppose, though my family is Christian. Education/Job Status: BSc.(Hons) Applied Biology & BSc.(Hons) Biomedical Science. I am a senior Biomedical Scientist by profession. Drink/Smoke: I have been teetotal since I was 20, when I realised that I was gonna fail my degree if I couldn't make it to my lectures without a persistant hangover. I smoke like a trooper though, bad habit. Likes: Anime & manga (obviously), hanging out with my friends, cooking & hosting dinner parties, singing/karaoke, playing poker & mah-jong, trying out new restuarants, playing video games, ancient military history. Dislikes: Prejudice, in all it's forms, be it sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. MMORPG's, primarily because it's destroyed too many of my RL friends' relationships. Dealing with sodding paperwork & red tape at work. The damn cult of celebrity - why are people obsessed with someone who is famous for solely being famous?!? And I hate spiders, they just give me the creeps - I get rid of them by standing on a chair & dropping a telephone book on them. Heh. Favourite anime: Evangelion (with a name like EVA fiend, it an hardly be anything else really), Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Gunbuster, Haibane Renmei, Mai-HiME to name but a few. Favourite Manga: Appleseed, Nausicaa & Battle Angel Alita. Favourite game: Disgaea (the sequel sucks though), Bust-a-Move, Super Puzzle Fighter, Fire Emblem, SimCity 2000 (this game nearly wrecked my first degree), & the Final Fantasy series. Favourite Drink: Coca-cola, pearl tea. Favourite Foods: Noodles, be it ramen, chow mein, ho fun, etc. I love sushi too. Favourite Handgun: Umm, if I had to chose it would be a Walther P99 I suppose. Favourite Sport: To watch? Gymnastics, particulary the men's.  To participate? Recurve target archery.
Favourite Music: I mainly listen to anime OSTs & 80's Cantopop these days but I used to follow the likes of Depeche Mode, Erasure, Blondie, Metallica, Faith no More, etc. Favourite TV: I hate British TV. It's programming consists primarily of reality TV shows like Big Brother & that kind of bollocks. The only series' I watch with any sort of regularity is CSI & it's clones. Fun facts about EVA fiend: Umm, I'm Chinese by descent, but I was born in the UK (first generation). My two eldest sisters are 14 & 12 years older than me, so I have nephews & nieces who are in their late 20's & early 30's - I'm also a great aunt (ick!). I'm a heterosexual female but I love shoujo-ai/yuri - ShizNat rocks my socks!! I'm a closet geek, in that I used to be a hardcore fangirl of Marvel comics, & I used to be a hardcore pen & paper AD&D player too. In my 35 years of life, I've never driven a motorised vehicle, but in the past couple of weeks, I've started to learn how to ride a motorcycle.  That's it I think.

Alrighty....since being one of the first posters for this new welcome thread people have expanded the categories. So, instead of simply adding bits and pieces in random order I'll just repost my info as it's updated. I guess this means since the welcome thread is gone and replaced with this my official greeter duties will now commence here. To those who posted here but never did in the other welcome thread welcome to ANN (I'm sure that's very belated but better late then never). To all the new people sure to come, I've got mystery grab bags just waiting to be given a home.
Write about yourself eh? So you mean I get to talk about myself and it's actually ok?!  ;D Since I did something similar at another forum I'll just copy that post and post it here too. It's long and boring but will answer almost any question you have about me heh. Feel free to PM or ask me anything else you wanna know.

Hurray for band geeks!  Or as those of us in my old high school band once said, BAND JOCKS ROCK!
Oh, and Nerv1, yes, it is nice to see another member on here, even if you aren't very active. 
Actually, not half bad an idea. I forgot to post a few things in that last one anyways
Dislikes: DRIVING!!!! (believe it or not, I don't have a driver's liscence!  ) Rap/hip-hop, country music, ignorance, Mindless sexual content in any form of entertainment, racism or any other kind of hate crime, people who act like jerks to me or other people, people in a grouchy mood, arrogance or people who are really snooty, being around people when they smoke
same anime genres as manga genres add computers onto other interests, as well as Sci-Fi/Fantasy-type stuff favorite anime/manga: pretty much anything Shounen Jump (Naruto, Bleach, Claymore and DB/DBZ being my favorites), pretty much all Gundam series (Wing, SEED, G and Zeta being my favorites), Fullmetal Alchemist (obviously), Akira, Battle Angel Alita, Hellsing, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Wolf's Rain, Vision of Escaflowne, s-CRY-ed, Flame of Recca, FLCL, pretty much anything done by Hyao Myazaki (Princess Mononoke and Nausica being my favorites), Mamoru Oshii (Jin-Roh and Blood: the Last Vampire being my favorites) or Satoshi Kon (never seen Perfect Blue and probably never will due to content) Favorite videogames: Pretty much any RPG (Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and Xenogears being my favorites), Okami, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, Legacy of Kain series, Devil May Cry, Legend of Zelda, Armored Core, God of War, Gears of War, Half-Life, Halo, Quake/Doom, Mechwarrior. Interesting facts: I've played the Trombone in all of my school's bands since the 7th grade, am currently (well, I'm off for the summer now) in the Marching/Pep/Symphonic band at Weber State University, and played in Jazz band in both Jr. High and High school (don't in college because I can't fit it in my schedule). I commute to school (much like a lot of people who go to WSU) via bus. Working on general EDs right now, but plan to go into Computer Science. I've created lots of my own manga storylines, and when I can either learn how to draw anime/manga or find someone who can to do it for me, I plan on trying to get them published by Shonen Jump. And, as mentioned above, I have no driver's license, (never really wanted one anyways) and may not for a very long time. |

Yes, he is a boy. Sorry about your cat.. One of my inside cats, Justin, passed away a few months ago. He lived only about 6 years, but he was a rather big cat so that probably wasn't too good for his health. (I've also had a few outside cats die or run away. I'd keep all my cats inside to try and keep that from happening if my parents would let me.) And I always give my kitties love and hugs
I have scoliosis too, so I guess that can be a fun fact about me since I couldn't think of any before. Not so sure that's fun though. Um.. I'm not all that fond of potatoes either, with the exception of french fries. French fries are good. Last edited by LilacShadow on Thu Jul 12, 2007 12:43 am; edited 1 time in total |

Let me have a bite too...
Name: My name is very very heroic so I'm not embarrassed to hide it! My first name is almost identical to our National Hero, and my last name is the name of the lead character in the novel that he wrote. My name is Rizaldo M. Ibarra! Now bow before me! (just kidding, but I'm not kidding about my name all right?) Sex: Male (I like female anime avatars) Location: Philippines (I'm a Filipino) Marital Status: Single (not yet interested in devoting my life to a single girl) Occupation: CAD Operator, PC maintenance, etc. Age: 24 Religion: I was blessed as a Christian, but I'm more of an agnostic person. There's nothing wrong with believing in faith, but I don't want my life to revolve around faith... But if I'm going to have a child, I want him/her to have faith in God but grow up to someone who can protect him/herself. Drink/Smoke: I drink only when there's occassion but I definitely don't smoke. Likes: I like thinking new stories, reading interesting books, doing everything I can with work and share my knowledge with people I respect. Dislikes: Arrogant people, persistent people (in an annoying way), backstabber, people who narrows their opinion to what they only want to believe, people who say insulting words without good reason, people who doesn't accept other's opinion and keeps on babbling how they are right... there are a lot but I'll just put those that involve people :3 Favorite anime: If we're talking about all time here, I have only two... that's 3x3 Eyes and AIR... I would have put Love Hina here but what I like about it is the manga and not the anime. But if it's top ten then... 2005 Top Ten (I just noticed that my 2005 list lacks a bit of reasoning ), 2007 Top Ten (March update)
Favorite anime (non anime) character: Kamio Misuzu (AIR), Ichinose Kotomi (CLANNAD), Okazaki Tomoya (CLANNAD), Fujii Yakumo (3x3 Eyes), Sanjiyan aka. Parvati IV or Pai (3x3 Eyes) Favorite Manga: All time again... 3x3 Eyes manga and Love Hina manga Favorite game: My all time favorite game would be in SNES and it's called Terranigma (Tenchi Souzou==>Heaven Earth creation==>Genesis) and also AIR and CLANNAD Visual Novel. Anyway, I'm still dying to have my Terranigma manga!... I also play strategy game like Warcraft, Starcraft, C&C too and arcade stuffs like, MvC, MvC2, King of Fighters, arcade shooting games, but usually, I'm more into RPG and Visual Novels (even eroge as long as the story is good) like, Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, CLANNAD, AIR, Planetarian, Shuffle!, Narcissus, Kurenai Namida, etc. etc. I like games with stories to be more precise. Favorite Drink: Any sweet juice (mango, guyabano, apple, grapes, orange, pineapple, strawberry, etc. etc.) Favorite Foods: Spaghetti at Sinigang na Baboy (I could eat two plates with those food, that's why )
Favorite Book: The Dictionary perhaps? Favorite Movie: My all time favorite is Braveheart... which will probably give you an idea that I really like sad stories
Favorite Sport: Swimming. Favorite Music: My all time favorite Filipino band would be the infamous Eraserheads, but these days, I rarely listen to other musics beside J-POP or J-ROCK... I find their voices full of radiance and the lyrics of their songs, very good. My favorite would be a battle between Lia, Riya, CooRie and KOTOKO... I just can't choose between Lia with her soothing otonappoi koe (her voice is like a mild river flowing gently through time)... erm... Riya, CooRie and KOTOKO with their lively cute voice, and they can also sing soothing songs. As for Riya, I like her Chiisana Te no Hira and Kage Futatsu from CLANNAD, from CooRie her Akatsuki no Saku Uta from Da Capo 2nd Season, and KOTOKO's Chi ni Kaeru ~on the Earth~ Favorite Quotes: -Parvati IV/Pai from 3x3 Eyes "Time is a Luxary which you do not have." -Hazart Haan from 3x3 Eyes "You can't accomplish anything without the help of others." -Fujii Yakumo from 3x3 Eyes "Great powers needs great responsibility." (I don't really know where this quote came from... I first read it in 3x3 Eyes manga then I heard it in Spider Man) Fun facts about DGreater1: -I've become a high schooler even though I didn't graduate Gradeschool, I've become a Collage student even though I didn't graduate High school, I'm working in an office even though I'm still undergraduate for many many years 
-DGreater1 is a nick name I found around 1998 and I've been using it since then
-The avatars you will only see I use are from my all time favorites
-I'm like a typhoon, I appear then disappear without warning (who needs a warning from me anyway?)...
-The Japanese I know now is just an accumulated knowledge I have since 1998, I never learned it from school
-The first anime I bought with my salary was 3x3 Eyes hahahaha |

Boo! Boo! I demand the actual Tony, dammit! I didn't know you were from Lao. Back in Minnesota about 90% of my college's Asian population was Hmong, so I got to learn all about it. Aw, now this is the forum I know and love. Let's forget about all those tired old peevish arguments and enjoy the hug fest. And, frankly, I'm astounded that everyone is so good-looking. It almost makes me wish I was single again. You guys are the best. Name: Sara Age: 22 Ethnicity: Mixed European. Mostly Irish, German and Norwegian (look at me, pretending like I actually have a culture of my own instead of just "white." ;p) Gender: Female Location: Los Angeles, CA. Still pining for Minneapolis, MN. Marital Status: Engaged to this handsome fella! Occupation: Animation Supervisor at X Design Studio in downtown LA, Freelance Illustrator, Independent Animator (with one film currently in the festival circuit and one in progress). Religion: Agnostic, but I was raised Mormon. It's a great religion with many good influences, but I decided that organized religion just isn't right. For me. Drink/Smoke: Neither Likes: Furry quadrupeds, especially dogs. Singing in the shower. Taking care of plants. Reading. Drawing. Listening to music. Laughing. Taking long outdoor walks while humming the entire time. Swimming. The Upright Citizens Brigade. Film festivals. All forms of fine art. Dislikes: Living in Los Angeles has taught me to hate one thing and one thing only: TRAFFIC. Favorite anime: C'mon, guys. Do I really have to do this again? I feel like people are going to start throwing over-ripe fruit at me if I name-drop a certain studio named after the temperature at which water is densest, and in particular a certain film by the initials of "M.G." yet again. You don't really want to hear about all that, do you? I'll just save face for both of us. Let's move on. Favorite Manga: Yikes, a toughie. I'll just be a weirdo and say Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show, since it's the first title that popped into my head (and I do really like it a lot). Favorite Games: It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. Seriously, though, Rez is one of the greatest games ever made, and easily my favorite. Others include Shadow of the Colossus, Half-Life 2, Katamari Damacy, Incredible Crisis and any of the Wario games (especially the new one for Wii! It's sooo fun and it reminds me of Mind Game [<---agh! There it is! *ducks to avoid rotted fruit*] in a weird way). Favorite Movies: Mind Game, Raise the Red Lantern, Nobody Knows, The Kid (1921), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 3-Iron, Weekend, Kirikou and the Sorceress, Tale of Tales Favorite Drink: Water. I'm serious. Favorite Food: Thai Massaman Curry. Favorite Sport: Gaelic football, Hurling Favorite Music: Obligatory Yoko Kanno reference goes here. Favorite Kanno CD: NHK Special China~12 Oku-jin no Kaikaku Kaihou Original Soundtrack Other favorite artists include Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart, Freezepop, RJD2 and Dan "the Automator" Nakamura. And I'll always have an enduring love for Smashing Pumpkins, a band I obsessed over to the point of dangerous fanaticism from the ages of 13-17. [Edit: Agghh! How could I forget Ennio Morricone, my favorite composer EVER?? He's the bee's knees.] Fun facts: I lived in Western Ireland the first half of 2004 and it was there, in fact, that I signed up for an ANN account. I loved everything about the country--the green hillsides, the rainbows, the clean air, the ancient ruins, the hiking, everything. But it wasn't really the greatest place to be for an anime fan (which I was much more back then than now). Let's see... what else? I once broke my pinky finger when I was a kid by running in the house and falling down onto it. To avoid punishment ("No running in the house!"), I told my parents I broke it while I was practicing the piano... and they believed me! Hahahahaha! The most brilliant lie of my life, and I was a wee 8-year-old. I guess now would be a good time to mention that I've played the violin and piano since I was 7 years old. Pictures: Here's the photo I use for facebook. Wearing a hat, which I actually never do. I'm posting this to fool you guys. Here I'm playing the rousing game of "Guesstures" and acting out the word "cleavage." Last edited by Cloe on Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:00 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Mmm mmm. Woman after my own heart. Aside from the rather typical sin of sloth, I definitely fall victim to gluttony. I don't eat a lot, I only eat once a day, but I love to eat good food. It's funny... I'm going after my degree in physics... and the more I think about it, the more I think I'd love to go into some kind of food handling job. I probably won't, just because the really great jobs are so darn exclusive, but it's really tempting despite that. Teriyaki, Sushi (fresh), and Thai are some of my biggest vices, of which Thai pineapple curry is my favorite. The hotter the better
I'll probably get to making mine in a few days, or whenever I can get a picture. It's too lame to not post a picture if you ask me, so I'll just wait until I can. I can understand the urge to protect personal information, but I feel no shame or hesitation to share out information that I would share freely with any person I met face to face (much less information I couldn't keep from being shared even if I wanted to, such as what I look like). Maybe I'm just being silly. Last edited by selenta on Thu Jun 21, 2007 4:27 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Kinda funny you mentioned that... just finished a physics degree myself, and of the people from all the different degrees I've talked to, the ones doing physics were the ones who were most likely to plan/want to do something after that had absolutely nothing to do with their degree. Weird, huh?
