I am a professional writer in the gaming and comics industry. I have also been a professional magician entertainer for many years. I have studied German many years ago in high school, so I can still speak some German but I am rusty. I am currently learning Japanese but I am a beginner. I have learned the hiragana and I am working on katakana. My vocabulary is very limited right now as is my grammar. I hope that we can help each other with language and culture and also I would like to make some good friends. I have many interests, including cooking, reading, gaming, manga, anime, science, writing etc. I like anime and manga but I don't think of myself as "otaku", but it's okay if you are! I am very friendly, and I have a great sense of humor. I look forward to speaking with you!
