I enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, certain spy novels(mostly those by, you guessed it, Tom Clancy). I am a mental patient from Japan, but I stowed away on a passenger jet that brought me and a load of three legged chickens to Hong Kong(where if its got more than two legs, its a bargain) and then took a boat down to Brazil where I hiked back to the USA and finally to Washington state. I am a debater, cellist, avid reader(duh), and all around psycho. Me and the voices in my head also enjoy Jackie Chan movies(Jackie Chan is better than Jet Li, Jet Li is good, just not as good), Star Wars, video games, japanimation(Gundam Wing Rules!) and long walks on the beach.
