Bah, I had an account on here before, but I forgot the user name...
A second introduction shouldn't hurt.
Name: Deanna ( Dee - Anna )
Coming to you from: Maine
First Breath: 4 / 18 / 1992
intentions and whatnot: I was actually looking up a Japanese forum where I could be introduced to even more Japanese, learn about it more from those who have experienced it and just to be around people via internet that share the same interest.
why do you want to go to japan: Tata to those typical, silly American sterotypes who want to go there just for the anime and manga. Not saying I'm not into anime, but that's not my intention.
I've been interested in Japan since the tender age of 8. I'd run home around 3:00 after school just to catch the final moments of Cardcaptor Sakura. When I was 9 I dressed up in a kimono for Halloween. The language itself interested me, the sound, the way it was spoken. I used to huddle up with 3 of my siblings and we'd draw "anime-style" together. My mother was also interested, would hand us plushies she found, so on, so on. So almost my whole family was into the whole Japanese-vibe.
I decided when I was young I wanted to go to Japan, and live there. And I'm putting that dream into my daily life. Every day I study Japanese, or do something "Japanese" to prep myself.
I found out my dream to own a bakery in Japan was to be cut short, so I'm taking the easy route as most call it : ALT , JET.
I'm in my last year of high school now, planning on getting a bachelors degree and making my dream a reality. I hope to move there with my sister and my mother one day to enjoy the beauty of Japan, the culture and the way of life.
