First, my name: I guess you can call me Nate, if you want. There's always, Nightshade X, or Nightshade, or X... Of course, there's also my middle name... maybe I'll reveal that to a certain someone... someday.
Ok, some real stuff. I was born in Corvallis, Oregon, but I didn't live there long. The list of places I've lived are as follows:
Oregon
Oklahoma
California
New Mexico
Washington
California... again
Needless to say, I've moved around a lot. In a way, I see myself as a bit nomadic, since I'm always expecting to move on once I'm comfortable with a place.... but enought about that sob story.
My date of birth is 11/17/83, so that would mean I'm 20 going on 21. I'm so old!! I don't want to be an adult, yet I can't stop the flow of time. So, you know what that means. Yup... I'm going to be the youngest 21 year old I know!
I'm currently in my... second year of "high-school graduate-ism", and seeing as I goofed off for most of my first year of college, I'm starting over at Moorpark community college and transferring to... wherever I finally decide on whenever I finish my general ed and figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I live with my mom and my younger sister, which I constantly refer to as both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because they've taught me so much about the fairer gender of our human race simply by observing them and seeing how they live. Unfortunately, this is also where the curse springs from. Living with them is driving me freakin' NUTS!!!
I love anything fantasy-related or alluding to the medieval era: dragons, magic, swordplay, knights, princesses; I love it all! This love of fantasy was what really drew me to anime. At first, I thought that either Sailor Moon, Ronin Warriors, or Dragon Ball were my first experiences with anime, but now that I think about it... it was Superbook, hands down. However, I really got into it when I saw "Tenchi the Movie: Tenchi Muyo in Love" for the first time. I remember it clearly: I was watching TV one night, innocently channel surfing, and I saw what I thought was a cartoon. It ended up being a weeklong film festival on the Sci-Fi Channel. That movie was what I saw, and I loved anime ever since. My current loves include: Full Metal Panic, Onegai Teacher, Tenchi Muyo, Trigun, Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar, Gungrave, Chrno Crusade, Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu, Azumanga Daioh, Escaflowne, Dragon Drive, Wolf's Rain, RahXephon, Hellsing, Chobits, I My Me Strawberry Eggs, .hack, Ai Yori Aoshi, Voices of a Distant Star, most Gundam series, Cowboy Bebop, etc.
That's all I can think of, so if you want to know something specific, feel free to ask! I'm totally open to answer any questions. As I've told some people around here, I'll let you know if a question is too private to answer. That, however, is INCREDIBLY rare. I haven't refused to answer a question yet, so ask away!
i guess ppl learn sumthing new everyday about their friends, wait you're not my friend(j/k all the way!) see ya laterz!
