I am currently studying Japanese and Psychology while living Seattle, WA. I am academically interested in cross-cultural psychology as well as diversity in popular media. I volunteer for several fan conventions in the Seattle area and enjoy observing and participating in many aspects of the fandom community. I probably like "slice of life manga" way too much and cannot hide the fact that JRPG's complete me. My boyfriend and my dog are a nice topping on the cake that is life. I will admit to my yarn and fabric lust but only because it's part of the 12-step program.
