jeropi's Profile

Yes sir! I'm an honest and young at heart Otaku (look it up - that's what geeks do). While I'm not exactly "obsessive" as per the definition of an Otaku (in case you looked it up =P), I'm definitely a video game enthusiast first and foremost. And with the way game companies are churning out video games these days, I don't think I'll ever grow out of them. I have all of the current video games consoles you could think of and I don't care what anyone says, it's all about the Wii Sports yo! Haha! Even having the newest consoles though, I still prefer the never-to-be-outdated PC as my preferred gaming platform (playing a lot of AION and L4D as of late). But even with all the gaming fun I have at home, there's always the need to unplug and get out. I am an avid movie goer and I'm really big on watching all kinds of Anime as well, but please, no English dubs! It's not that I don't appreciate what North America companies and voice actors are doing to localize anime here in the states, I simply just cannot stand how out of place anime characters sound when they speak in English. Sometimes it can be tolerable depending on the quality of the anime I'm watching or who's actually doing the voice work (celebrities always tend to do the best jobs of course), while at other times, it might as well be nails scratching down a chalkboard. I like listening to Japanese dialogue it in it's originality as I feel Japanese voice actors are WAY more experienced in conveying their emotion into anime characters. I've also grown a great interest in their language and culture all throughout the time I've been watching anime. So, I watch my anime with English subtitles so I can still understand the stories as a whole and possibly pick up on a few phrases or words here and there. And for people who say "Well, animes are just cartoons, right?", you simply have no clue. Yes, I've gone to many a convention as well and while I do enjoy seeing and taking pictures with people in their many creative and colorful costumes, I don't think I could see myself doing any cosplay (again, look it up). I like playing some billiard games once in a while and I do like the occasional Texas Hold 'em night as well - watching World Series of Poker on ESPN helped me to do that (Well, not really. I more or less picked up on Texas Hold 'em whenever I watched my cousins and relatives play. Easiest way to learn is to just jump in and play and let them explain it to you as you go though). Yes, there's nothing like a good old fashioned game of cards to pass the time. I also enjoy drinking it up with my friends or relatives at Starbucks of course! Hah! But seriously, I'll drink it up too if an occasion rises for it. I'm pretty much all around when it comes to going out as long as everyone's in the mood to have some fun.

Who I'd like to meet:
I like meeting people with common interests and goals in their life. You got to be down to earth and have as much fun as I would at a moments notice (BE SPONTANEOUS!) People who are honest with themselves as much as they are to others. You definitely have to be talkative too (don't be a shy guy/lady). I like to listen to what people have to say should they feel the need to speak their mind. Doesn't hurt to ask questions either. Questions answered become knowledge and you can never stop learning. You've just got to be yourself is all. Always a plus to meet new people and make even more friends, no? Oh, and you gotta have a sense of humor. They say laughter is the best medicine and that it can make all the more difference in your life. Keep in touch often, otherwise I may forget who you are. There's never any room for hate, SO JUST RELATE!
