Well, it's a Sunday [sunday . . . someday] and, having just returned from riding my old Razor scooter around the neighborhood, I decided that I would post my bio. Don't ask me why ~ I just felt like it. o_O
But at any rate, for the few who might be interested, here are a few basic details about me:
Real Name: <SPOILER>
Age: 18
Educational Level: Homeschooled, high school graduate equivalent
Favored Manga: Rurouni Kenshin, DNAngel, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Fullmetal Alchemist
Hmm ~ this dossier format is too restricting, so I'll just wax garrulous about myself.
I tend to be the quiet, weird type ~ although I'm not as quiet as I used to be. I was very shy when I was small and I still am, to an extent. I tend to be an introvert, though I enjoy the company of close friends. I place a high value on being a unique individual, a trait that likely comes from being a self-styled artist. I am generally not an outwardly passionate person; many things that would have others in tears/rage don't cause so much of a visible reaction from me. It would, I believe, be a mistake to classify me as cold, although I don't doubt that I may come across as such. In reality, I am fiercely loyal to those few that I form close relationships with. I do love those close to me deeply ~ probably more so than they think. Contrary to my present personality, I was rather impulsive as a kid. This is probably a contributing factor to the person I am today, as my tendency not to think things through caused me embarassment. In fact, it still does ~ I am not the brightest bulb in the box. I also tend to be a perfectionist in regards to my own performance, with considerably more tolerance towards others. I will console someone who feels they can do better, then turn right around and be upset about my own performance ~ even if it is considered good. Anything less than 100% bothers me. I am especially critical of my artistic endeavours; I believe this is largely due to my frequent surfing of deviantART, admiring all the skilled artists. Unfortunately, despite my desire for perfection, I am somewhat lazy by nature, and can lack motivation. However, if I find a project I am willing to commit to, I can be quite motivated. For example, I am an Eagle Scout [despite my general lack of interest in camping or the outdoors] and have competed in competitive speech and debate on the national level two years in a row, and a girl [a dear friend of mine] at roughly my skill level achieved first place in debate this year. It is also worth noting that I carry no particular love of debate and only some for speech. It's actually unusual that I would mention any of this, since I tend to have very little faith in my abilities of any sort and am largely reluctant to mention any awards I receive. I am also intentionally weird, and like to be odd. As such, I tend to shun anime characters that adhere too much to a particular archetype [which is why, for example, Fai is my favorite character from Tsubasa rather than Syaoran, even though I admire Syaoran's selflessness ~ he's just not unique enough, whereas Fai is just plain fun]. As to musical taste, I prefer rock in its more energetic forms, including old-school rock with pianos and organs and some metal. I also enjoy good techno, smooth jazz, some ska [mostly Five Iron Frenzy ~ it's the only ska I have], and some soundtrack music.
Naturally, any questions are welcome, and I will answer as many of them as I can.

That's cool that you like to draw, as I love it myself. Could you post some of your stuff? I'd love to see it! 
Anyways, nice to get to know you a little better!
