Yet Another Otaku Blog?

For those who read as much manga as I, you porbably figured out that I stole my title from the otaku manga Genshiken. For those who don't read manga, let alone know what otaku means, good for you. You probably spend your life being productive. I've never been too productive, so I envy those who can be. I first want to note that my grammar has been known to suck, so I really don't want anybody notifying me that I had one or five sentence fragments in a posting. I must also explain that I'm not a true otaku. I'm just a lazy jock who enjoys the Japanese culture. I don't drool over the newest hentai and find dating sims boring. I also think that girls getting raped by tentacles is wrong. On the other hand, just because I think its wrong doesn't mean I won't watch it. I also have no problem discussing how a certain hentai can be artistic. Also, I don't mind discussing world events or other interesting aspects of our mother earth. Just dont get too political with me, because I hate discussing politics. So far I have failed to really introduce myself, so here you go. My name is Andrew Edwards and I am currently a senior at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. I spent most of my life playing sports and going to pain in the ass private schools. During a summer in high school, I had to pick up a hobby to counteract my crappy job, so I decided to rent a lot of movies. I rented Ghost in the Shell, which began my anime craze. After this event, I became obsessed with Japanese culture. I am currently earning majors in business and asian studies, and have taken both Japanese and Chinese language classes. I have been to Japan three times, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. I'm thinking about applying for the JET program, but haven't decided yet. My favorite cities are as followed: Kanazawa, Tokyo, Kyoto, Chicago, San Francisco, Suzhou, Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore City, and Honolulu. I would like to tour Europe someday. Lastly, my girlfriend is a 4 foot 81/2 Japanese girl named Reiko. She absolutley refuses to speak Japanese around me. It's kind of annoying. As soon as my hand recovers from cramping, I'll post my first topic.
