Your Hostess

As you can tell from my domains, my major fandoms are anime and manga related. I have a hard time following network TV shows because of my irratic work schedual. My other fandoms (past and present) include Angel, Xena: Warrior Princess and Star Wars.

My main a/m fandoms are Bleach, Zombie Powder, Saiyuki, Skip Beat!, Full Metal Panic! and Black Blood Brothers. I'm not really picky about the series that capture my attention, but things that really turn me off an anime or manga series are poor art/animation; idealized lead characters, or leads with romanticized flaws; and overly weak or weak-willed female leads. There are always exceptions, of course, but I tend to find myself moving away from series that include one or more of the previous. ^_^

When it comes to web design, I know I still have a lot to learn. I continue to enjoy building and maintaining fanlistings both for the sense of community it gives and for the opportunities to try new things design-wise.

I like to think that I am a nice person. ^_^ I tend to be shy, and uncomfortable in new situations but given time I open up. Once that happens, you can't shut me up! I have opinions and I am not afraid to let them be known; however, I will respect yours in the process. Live and let live; treat others as you wish to be treated, I'd have to say those are my mottos.
