I'm 14 years old, making me a freshman in high school here in sunny Flordia.

I first got into anime about 4 years ago, when I caught a bit of a not-particularly-intriguing episode #10 of Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon Network. Still, I just decided to keep on watching it........so, I did, on and off. (By the way, DBZ, along with Sailormoon, is now my favorite anime.) During that summer I also saw an episode of Sailormoon--I thought it was just another one of those crazy weird Japanimation series that would eventually fry my brain if I got into it. So of course I did, and that's the story of how I've been obsessed with anime ever since.

I only began drawing anime at the beginning of 8th grade, when I was thirteen. A new girl in my class (now my friend) was...really....really.....REALLY.....good at it (and still is!). Naturally, I got jealous and decided I wanted to do it too. I started out making one or two drawings a month off of printouts and pictures I had, and then as I got more used to it, I made more and more. Now I sit down and think up something whenever I get the chance, which is usually every other day or so. I'm also trying to think up my own original fanart too, since I don't want to only be able to copy other artist's work. As for coloring, I'd used good ol' Crayola colored pencils up till this past summer, when I finally got my first box of Prismacolors ^_^!

I think that's all I've got to say about me and my anime-obsessed life...hope you've all enjoyed those 5 minutes you'll never get back!
