OMG this profile needs a serious overhaul... but for now I'm too lazy *sigh*
I'm anold "seasoned" anime fan. My oldest daughter insisted about 3 years ago that I sit and watch a couple series with her, and I was pleasantly suprised that they were more than just the "japanese cartoons" that I had written them off to be at that point. Very. Pleasantly. Surprised. Anyways, I've been watching anime religiously since then. I tend to try to watch too much at once sometimes. But I can't help it. I blame my child. Yeah... that works for me. >_<
I found MAL a while back... loved it... and brought my daughters over with me. A family of anime fans and MAL members. What could be better? Now I'll introduce my lovely daughters, Sarah aka Dragon_Empress and Chelsea aka Miruki_Mimiko. Aren't they awesome? Chelsea also has a twin sister, named Megan. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get Megan interested in anime. *sigh* (She's the black sheep of the family :P but we love her still. ^__^ LOL)
I started feeling a little out of place among the younger crowd here, so I created my own club, MAL: The Later Years for our more "seasoned" anime fans. I'm surprised at the response and success of this club for those of us a generation or so ahead of the rest of the crowd. So if you're reading this, and you're over 30, click on the link and ask to join. ^_^ We're always happy to have new members.
I'm a huge fan of country music, and what most of you youngsters consider "classic" rock. But keep in mind, what's "classic" to you was great new music to my generation. :P What follows are youtube links to some of my favorite songs: My Absolute Favorite Country Artist
Keith Urban is my favorite country artist, so just about any of his songs could go here, but this is one of my personal favorites of his.
A gorgeous piece of artwork (from Deviant Art) I found of the single most beautiful anime character, Fai from Tsubasa Chronicles. Now I just need to find an appropriate use for this image.
This artist is to be praised for this piece of work. ^^

Since I'm almost NEVER in the forums anymore, I decided to start keeping my signature here. And now that I've immersed myself in anime again, I felt this was needed:
I know right? Roy is such a badass. And as for Fairy Tail, I saw the first episode. and it seems pretty good. But Im not really torrenting much these days and since thats now the only way to watch fairy tail without paying... Im kinda up a creek.
thats cool you seem pretty busy. I've been keeping busy with my website of course, but haven't had much time for anime ironicly. Only been watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
