How did I get into anime?: It's all Sailor Moon's fault!  I started watching it when it first aired in 1995 when it was on at 6:30 in the morning.  At first, I thought it was that "weird Japanimation porno", but then I fell in love with the concept of super hero girls.  Ohhhh, memories...

How did I get into Dragon Ball?: I saw the original DB way back in '95.  I thought it was cute, but I didn't give it much attention after seeing a few episodes. One day in my freshman Spanish class, my friend Robin was showing this pic of what I thought was young Goku. I asked him if I was right and he said "No, that's his SON".  I couldn't believe it!  Goku grew up and had a son!? No way!  Knowing that caused me to go online and look up some info about the show.

How did I get into Dragon Ball Z: More or less, I started watching it from day one when DBZ first aired dubbed at 8:30 on a Sunday morning.  How sad...=P  But, in my sophomore year Chemistry class, this guy who also liked DBZ lent me his Subbed version of DBZ Movie 13, and....The Trunks TV Special.   That's when the madness began.

How did Trunks become my fave character?: That day, I went home to watch the vids the kid let me borrow.  I put in The Trunks Story first, since I'd heard of Trunks before, but never saw him or knew anything about him.  Ultimately, I fell in love with Trunks as soon as the t.v. special started playing!  Initially, I liked him because he was cute, but over time, I came to love his personality and tragic past.  After this, I hunted down episodes with Trunks and by that summer, I had a huge collection of DBZ fansubs, and Trunks had become my absolute fave anime character ever!

Hobbies: Designing web sites, watching anime and reading manga, going to school, shopping, listening to music, driving, drawing, making music videos, playing video games, and just chillin.
