So...I've been on Mene a fairly long time but really haven't made any "friends". Since that's sorta the theme of a lot of events, I've decided to make a thread to see what everyone out there is like!

I'm on almost every day and just lurk, so it's time to reach out and talk. ;3

I'm a college student, about to graduate. =O

I have a collection of over 300 manga, and growing.

I love stuffed animals. .___.

I'm old, I'm 22.

I like overcast days. ;3

And I love anything that has to do with Japanese culture.

So, here is some about me. Post about yourself!

• Ooh, nice. Hihi~ Nice to meet ya. (:

Nice to meet you! x)

so you must love the kimonos, nu?

*bounces into thread excitedly*
You sound... scarily similar to me.

*also 22, recently graduated, loves manga, looooves plushies*

I also totally love Japanese culture, especially the food and fashion!

So how is the event going for you? Clearly well. I see you have the coveted wings.

Hello! I'm trying to make new friends during this event too. I don't get out in the forums enough on the regular, and I felt like it was high time I got to meet some of the new people around here. XD

What are your favorite manga series'? I don't read much manga myself, but I used to see quite a bit of anime, and my bf really loves reading a couple of series on the net.

I like overcast days too. ;) And rainy ones.

And I'm totally older than you. XD What kind of degree are you getting? Congrats! Do you have a 'real job' lined up yet? Or are you going to get to relax for a bit?

Hello n_n I've noticed as well that even though I've been here more then a year I don't have many friends....maybe a handful.

My name is Christina. I'm 24 years old. I'm currently living in France just 6 miles out from the Eiffel Tower.

Nice to meet you :3

Wahh. *w*
Nice manga collection~
I'm 15 xD Heh, I absolutely love Japanese culture - well, some of it.
Their sex-related culture is just a bit weird. .__.;;

Wow, that was a fast response!

@Aoi - it's nice to meet you too, your outfit is so pretty. o-o

@Sakura - Likewise. ;3

@ox3tyi - I love them. o-o;

@Fiarra - We have a lot in common, don't we? ^^

@Sizzla - My favorite manga series has to be Chobits, it's just so wonderfully drawn and it's creative. CLAMP always does fantastic mangas. So I'd have to say, anything by CLAMP I'll be infatuated with.

hi there! i tend to lurk a lot as well. <3

i love japanese culture. i went to Japan over teh summer and did a home stay and i take Japanese at my high school! i graduate in a week so i'm really going to miss that class by the school i will be going to has Japanese classes so it's all good.

i have so many manga...but not nearly as many as you do.@_@ what series do you like to read?

i have a ton of stuffed animals. every time i see one at the store my mom has to remind me that i have no real use ro need for it and i should save my money. T_T

• @Zukin; Thank yuuu! You too. :3

You're right on that. >>;

It's a bit interesting though. X3

@Anissina - I lurk too much, it's time to quit it. X3

Hmm...right now I really like Chibi Vampire. It's pretty adorable. X3

@Rvaya - Wow...I bet that's amazing to live somewhere so beautiful.

@Zukin; so, what sort of anime/manga do you like? I'm a big fan of One Piece, but I tend to read more American comic books. Marvel are my favouites by far >w<
But I still read some manga and I'm always looking for good ones to try :p

yes it has it's moments of beauty but every place does really. It's not all the tourist spots like the postcards show. n_n But it's my first time living outside the US so that's something in itself.

<333
i like the wings more

Aha.. n__n;;
Well, it's like they can cheat as long as they're not cheating for love(as long as they pay for it it's okay?) @___@
Erm. Right.

@Sakura: I like One Piece too! xD But only as a manga, really. I don't like the anime dubs. D:

I lurk around mene a lot too, and I'm also a bit obsessed with Japan. I love the jrockers! I've been learning Japanese for a year and I'm planning to take a semester in Japan next spring (2009). Gotta go to see the awesome concerts and site seeing! 8D I have 5 Japanese friends too who were foreigh exchange students here last year, and I'm going to stay with a few of them when I go. n__n

I tend to like horror and occult manga and anime. ;3

Magical girl things are pretty cute too. X3

Also comedy, and...other things. >>;

Howdi Your avveh is super cute :3
I have a tendency to lurk also.
but fotunately this event has brought out the best in everyone.
I love it. ^^

Chobits was one of the first animes that I watched. I think Lain was first, followed by Chobits. It was a pretty good series. I should watch it again. :D

@Intoxicate - Yeah...I dun appreciate that aspect. .___.

@Sapp - Yeah? I bet you'll have a blast!

@Bfsfaerie - Hehehe, thankies. ^^ This event is pretty spiffy isn't it? ;3

Chobits is an all-time great. ^___^
I only read it, though.. Is it good as an anime as well?

i never watched/read chobits.
i didnt like the anime.
i started like a couple of episodes, then was like nahhh

The anime is pretty cute, it follows -fairly- close to the book.

Not exactly, but it's not as bad as some animes I've seen.

My first anime was Card Captor Sakura. ;3

omg me too!!
although now that i think of it, she shouldnt exactly be a 3rd grader.
-.-
