Why wasn't I born Japanese??
A brief history of me, before I address the above question. I will break this up into a few posts because the overall project turned out to be much too long for one post. Please read them in the order they appear on the page. If you start at the bottom, it will be backwards. That's how I posted it.

The names herein have been changed for the privacy of those involved. lol

I was always a happy child. I talked too much in school and didn't get horrible grades, but they weren't good either. By 4th grade I still talked all the time but I had worked my grades up to being straight A's. Go figure.

I had two very close friends, Short Blonde and Tall Blonde. I had known Short Blonde since birth and Tall Blonde since 5th grade. SB and TB got along better with each other, so I ended up having my sister alone for a friend. TB moved away, and I get along better with her now and SB went mildly crazy during the summer before our Junior year and we don't speak much anymore.

The summer before 9th grade, my brother had some major eye surgery. Before that, however, we had begun watching this thing called "anime". It was a new creature that I had very little contact with before, aside from crazy little boys in 3rd grade drawing big dudes from "Dragon Ball Z" and insane girls pretending to be "Sailors" during recess. I quickly became engrossed in my new world of orange-clad ninja and teeny metal-limbed alchemists.

Due to my new found obsession, when I entered 9th grade, I was watching upwards of 12 episodes of Naruto a night, and going to sleep at midnight. Prior to this, I had always gone to bed when I was tired, which just so happened to be right around 10 PM.

Also, as a side-effect of my new "pass time", I became aware of the wide world of fans I was immersed in. Ah, yes. In my very own Biology and Orchestra classes I had a kindred spirit. Baka-kun. He was a spaz, like myself, only slightly more subdued. We were both in Science Olympiads, a science competition club. It was during one of the club meetings that I mentioned Fullmetal Alchemist and a friendship was born.

The year progressed and Baka-kun got me more and more interested in the Japanese language and persuaded me to believe that I too, like he, could draw in the style of anime. I have continued to draw since then. But don't search too hard, I may never post my pics on theO.
