Thanks, anon!!

Back on topic, I feel the need to confess what I use to be like. In all honesty, I don't think I was so bad. I was introduced to anime and manga back in kindergarten by two vietnamese girls who really loved Sailor Moon and would let me read the manga when they'd bring it in and we'd use tracing paper to copy our favorite panels.

I was mostly into stuff like Yu Yu Hakusho, Big O and Inuyasha, most of the stuff on Toonami really. It wasn't until middle school, when I finally got a home internet connection, that I got into other stuff (including BL/Yaoi. Thanks deviantArt.). I would (try to) sing my favorite anime openings and would draw a lot hoping to go to art school (pic related: my drawing then and now). I overused emoticons and the -chan -desu and -ka's and had that typical dream of going to Japan (I went during High School). Looking back, I think what I regret most was having a gross self image. Now, I'm thankful that I'm able to hide my power level and look decent (I wear a fandom shirt every now and then, but nothing too crazy). I had a lot of fun with the anime kids I met in middle school, they were great friends, but I'm a lot more careful now, especially after reading the horror story threads or posts on tumblr. I'm sorry if any of this sounds boring, I don't have many crazy horror stories to share.
