Konnichi wa Minnasan!
My name is Ashuri (but it's really Ashley) and I live in New Mexico (soon, hopefully, to be back in Texas) in the USA.
I was born June 10th, 1985, which makes me 23, a Gemini (yes, I do have two sides, it's scary), and my Chinese Zodiac is the Ox.
I'm in my last semester of nabbing my degree in English, and I've already got my minor in Creative Writing. I'd have minored in Japanese as well, because I've been taking that for seven semesters now, but our sensei isn't a full-time faculty member, and thus it's impossible to major in it.
I'm kind of an Otaku of anything related to Japan... but not annoyingly so. It's more like I've got a huge appreciation of their culture, school system (why can't we make students actually DO their work?), and their anime, video game, manga, and music franchise. Oh, and their food. Definitely their food... I want unagi now... *cries*
I spend a lot of my free time RPing in my Guild on GaiaOnline, and I enjoy various Anime RPGs over anything else at the moment.
I love to play video games... especially Final Fantasy ones. Lately though, I've been addicted to playing Zelda: Twilight Princess on my roommate's Wii (a co-worker let me borrow the game). I can spend an entire day playing video games!
I also love to read Manga and Fanfiction (preferably fanfiction relating to the anime Slayers, or the anime Yami no Matsuei (with a Watari x Tatsumi pairing), and Lord of the Rings fanfiction that deals with the friendship between Legolas and Aragon... like the Mellon Chronicles).
In my other moments of random spare time, I write, draw, read fantasy novels (I'm a huge Tolkien fan, R.A. Salvatore, Dragonlance (with Raistlin) and Star Wars mostly), read manga, watch anime, play video games, and listen to music.
Now... my music collection is about 70% Japanese, 20% Soundtracks, and 10% random English music (which is mostly composed of Josh Groban cds). I adore Gackt, Josh Groban, Hyde, Tomokazu Seki, Hayashibara Megumi, BoA, Hamasaki Ayumi, Takehito Koyasu, and various others.
I'm also a huge connoisseur of seiyuu (Japanese voice actors) and will watch anything that sports; Tomokazu Seki, Takehito Koyasu, Ishida Akira, Shinichirou Miki, Yuuki Hiro, Toshihiko Seki, Inoue Kazuhiko, or Mamoru Miyano.
Food...
Hmmm... I'm really hungry right now...
I love rice and noodles of any form. My absolute favorite meal of all time is Nabemono (Japanese Hot Pot) but I love Manjuu as a snack as well. The only food I can't stand (because I'm like deathly allergic to it) is the food dye Red #40. But luckily for me, most of the sweets I tend to buy are Japanese sweets... and they use natural food colorings.
OH!
And I love Tea... with a passion.
A HUGE PASSION!
What else...
I have a small black and white poodle named Guenhwyvar, thus I obviously love poodles, but my favorite animal of all time is the shark. My least favorite animal (mainly because I see it and get scared shitless every time) is the lionfish. BOO!!! HISS!!!
Sugoi.... my intro was so long...
I guess I should talk about my "Yami no Matsuei" love, ne?
Well, I ADORE Watari Yutaka.  Like, seriously adore him!  But I also sport a love of Muraki and his evil bastard ways.  He's my favorite villain ever conceived (I like him even more than I like Sephiroth... GASP!).  He's complex, and yet not, and I love to delve into the doctor's mind and figure out what makes him tick.
And I love so many YnM pairings too...
Tsuzuki x Hisoka / Tsuzuki x Tatsumi / Tsuzuki x Muraki / Muraki x Hisoka / Muraki x Oriya / and... my favorite... Watari x Tatsumi!
Okay, I'll cut it off there!
Until next time...
Laters!

I hope to stick around as well.
Any place that I can display my love of YnM is a good place for me.  It's insane trying to find people who know what it is sometimes...
Hehehe!

Indeed. I used to go out of my way to describe it in vain, hoping that some random bell would ring. Nowadays I simply droop my head like a sad puppy and say "nevermind".
