I love anime and manga but lately I have no one to talk to about this hobby except with a few family members. My goal is to make otaku friends whom I can learn from or perhaps inform about anime/manga they haven't heard of. Outside of this hobby I'm an experienced gunsmith and I help my grandfather who is also a gunsmith. I like archery as well and I have a Martin Saber recurve bow I really like as opposed to a few other compounds I have. I read A LOT. Only including favorite novels would be too much to write here. I just read "The Monkey's Paw" after it arrived in the mail and am currently reading The Art of War and a few alchemy books. Studying anything alchemy related is another big hobby of mine. Soon I will be joining the Marine Corp to see the world, including Japan, and to also have an opportunity to go to college. That said I also hope to make friends in Japan or who have experience traveling there. There's a lot more I could say but this is sufficient enough for an "about me" section anyway.
