Nickname and most commonly name people use online and IRL for me is Reaper, Nickname given to me after clinically dying twice (Two completely separate occasions,) like a mantle for beating the reaper, plus my past has kinda bonded and forged the nickname further.
Currently working on relearning and expanding my spoken Japanese fluency, but my primary goal objective is learning and expanding my written Japanese and since I enjoy manga already want to use it as a practical means of learning and retaining.
Like most member here I love anime and manga, it was almost criminal to miss watching Dragon Ball, DBZ, and Gundam Wing after school. Im old
, so the amount of anime & manga available was a sacred timeslot. No streaming on dial-up, hell took 5 min for a picture to fully load, not to mention if someone tried using the phone, it equaled disconnection.
One of my grandmothers spent about 15 years growing up in Japan, language, cultural elements, mythology, and history. She was one of the only females at the time who was allowed to practice Kendo, which was passed to me. Not much makes a kid with ADHD & high functioning autism focus more than a trained kendo practitioner smacking you on the side of the head. Shinai or bokken both hurt like a mother trucker.
