Fun Facts:

-I've eaten ramen nearly everyday since I was about 5, well before I ever knew about anime or Japanese culture.

-I've been told that I'm way too nice by my close friends and family, and exactly the opposite by the people who have done me wrong in the past.

-I don't want any fancy jobs, or even to make a whole lot of money. All I want is to one day settle down with the woman I love and live a happy life, even if it is as simple as it can get.

Favorite Quotes: "When you want to be closer to someone, reach out to them."

As we have many new members a nice big welcome is in order. I normally try to make this a fun and entertaining thing I do but honestly I feel like ass tonight. If the room would stop spinning for 5 seconds I'd be so happy. So I'll make this short and just say here's a big welcome to all the new members here lately. I hope you're all having fun and throwing yourself into the forums as if they were the very air you need to live off of heh. I normally make a big deal out of my wonderful little welcome bags of goodies but tonight it's just one big collective bag for you all to share. *drops a huge brown bag in the middle of the floor* Consider it Christmas in June. Inside for you all to share are such wonderful items as the shells from 2 lb of shrimp, 2 dozen bells of various sizes/colors from cat collars, a handful of pencils sharpened down to the eraser ends, and a handful of those little red flags from mailboxes. I hope you all enjoy these fine gifts and your time here and don't forget; Death is life's way of telling you that you've been fired.
