All right, I'm updating my profile for once.

Name: Don't ask

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Currently, I work 30-40 hours a week and am not in school, so I have lots of time to write and update.

Likes: Manga, anime, reading, writing, working, yaoi (I'm gay, so sue me) and het when they're well written, icecream, hanging with friends, and playing video games.

Favoriet Manga: Fruits Basket, Naruto, Bleach, xxxHolic, Tsubasa, The Young Magician, King of Hell, Land of the Blindfolded, AzuManga Daio, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gravitation, Yu Yu Hakusho, Genju no Seiza, Slayers Novels (do Manga Novels still count in this section?), Petshop of Horrors, Ghost Hunt, Fullmetal Panic, Threads of Time, Fake, Psychic Achademy, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Hikaru no Go to name a few

Favoriet Anime: Last Exile, Witch Hunter Robin, .hach//Sign, Escaflone, Yu Yu Hakusho, Cardcaptor Sakura(jap dub), Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Panic, Slayers, Tenchi, and Outlaw Star.

My anime list is shorter, and older, then my manga list, but I can explain. I don't have any manga channels at home, and I usually work afternoons till midnight so I can't watch anime on cartoon network or other channels. My computer only has dail-up so I can't download anime offline, and I'm not rich enough to buy various anime nor do I have the space to keep said anime. Its just easier to go to the library or bookstore and read manga there then to try renting or buying anime.

Then theres the type of anime I like. You may have noticed, but very few of the manga I like cross over into the anime section. While I like manga which use angry demon head and other character distortions which make them silly and fun, I don't like it when animes use this same tactic. In my mind, a live action cartoon with audio and visual aspects can be fun a different way then with demon heads or undefined character drawings. A good example of this is with AzuManga Daio, I liked it when the manga used distorted angry faces, but didn't like it when the anime did the same thing. Note that the anime I've listed use little to no character distortion, and most are usually more serious in nature while some still have their silly moments.

These days, I'm shying away from anime and manga which are are silly to the point of being completely stupid and unrealistic. Gravitation is a good example of this, I just feel its too over-the-top now, but the boyxboy love gives it extera points and keeps it in my favorite section. I like a little bit of silliness, but not when its overdone and stupidly silly.

My Stories:

Past and Future: I read Mercedes Lackey's Hearalds of Valdemar books and tried my hand at writing one of those stories, but lost insparation and motivation quickly. It has been abandoned and will never be picked up again.

DotHack:Reality: I worked on it back durring my .hack craze. I lost my steam and insparation with this one a few times. I tried to keep writing but just couldn't force myself to continue. To my knowledge, it was one of the first .hack stories where someone made an A/U where reality was based on the videogame world. Most others I've read were only stories of people plaing an online game, I wanted my story to be more unique. It's currently on hold while I work on my Naruto story (I'm not a multi-tasker). I may revive it at a later date, but I doubt it.

Spiritual Fox: The story I'm currently working on. Don't know what I can say about it, its Naruto with a supernatural twist without it being a bleach xover. I try to be as original as I can, and I don't waste my time with details in areas that are virtually the same as the manga.

OK I found this on another persons profile so its not mine!

To all those who think Homophobia is wrong and want to fight for a better future for our gay and lesbian friends, please repost this into your profile:
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.
