Oh, so you actually clicked on this link? Quaint. You get what the title promised:

*I'm a 21-year old male who refuses to grow up (if my real About Me didn't say that enough) attending college in good ol' Murica'; Already got an AA in Fine Arts and I plan to someday get a higher degree in English. If possible, I'd like to be an English teacher in the future, with my dream job being a successful author or writer of some sort. I'm currently working on my second (attempt) at a novel, though I get distracted easily by anime, friends, and MAL :3



*I'd say I've been a pretty devout fan of anime since late 2012, where back then I mostly watched anime through Netflix (such pleb). It's hard to pinpoint exactly what my first anime was though: The first anime I acknowledged as an anime was Naruto back in 2006, but the first anime I saw would be either Dragon Ball Z or Pokemon in the late 90's. As for my actual gateway anime that's even trickier: Attack on Titan was probably the first airing anime I watched and absolutely loved that motivated me to watch more airing anime, while Bleach and Sword Art Online that came before AoT got me interested in watching anime outside of lame Netflix. Fast forward a few years and now I have most major anime titles under my completed list ^_^



*I joined MAL in April of 2014 after a friend referred me here for the advanced anime-list capabilities compared to my Word Document anime list (which I still update today). However, I didn't become active on the forums until mid-September of the same year after seeing how dank the forums were how nice the community looked and graduated from being a forum stalker :P Since then, I've met lots of neat-o people and gotten to know a handful of trill imoutos, rapeheads, sassy tsunderes, Garrus fangirls, kouhais, senapais, and lolis (you know who you are). Because I can, and to give some of you some good nostalgia, I'll now list the history of (what I can recall) of my profile avatars and some history of them~




So yeah, that's my take on my MAL history. Memory lane for some of you. In the forums you'll see me be a weird mix of dank and serious, but usually with a hint of sarcasm or humor. You should never take me that seriously on the forums though, and if you ever do, shame on you. I also like using me some emotes, though you probably can't tell from this blog entry. I'm pretty easy to talk to and can fill just about any persona you can imagine to talk to someone in their preferred way; I talk to different people differently, as do most people. Usually, I get on MAL every day to lurk in the forums or reply to my lovely comments and PMs. In the case I don't reply to you in a timely manner, well I'm only human so don't hate me. I may love MAL, but yeah, life.



*For hobbies and stuff besides anime, I'm a pretty big gamer (or at least I was) and I've been technically gaming since the 90's. Some of my favorites game series' of all time are Fallout, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Bioshock, and Call of Duty (eh). Only games I'm actively playing right now though are Super Smash Brothers on 3DS (so hit me up if you wanna get banged sideways by my Zelda or Pikachu) and the brand spanking new Overwatch which I've grown obsessed over lately. I've also been a huge Pokemon fan all my life, and still eat up every new generation of Pokemon and pwn noobz on Showdown. I'll rek u all btw, PU tier too good.
For stuff besides gaming . . . I like reading novels from time to time, though I don't read nearly as much as I did in high school, probably because I ran out of books haha. I also like jotting down any nifty ideas that come into my head for a writing project into my personal journal in case I ever want to do anything with them. I also like browsing the YouTube often for the dank videos. Oh, and I want to start working out more often because, well, why the heck not?



*Hmmmmmm well I guess that's about it. If you want to get to know me more, leave me a comment on my wall and I shall try to make your acquaintance. For those who already know me, must suck since you already knew most of everything in here rofl. Well if you read everything, thanks anyway and I shall probably be around, just day dreaming and whatnot, with my head just spinning and spinning aimlessly as the years roll by ~
