Hello everybodee, hajimemashite. My name's Catherine; I came to the meeting this evening with my husband Andrew, first time for both of us. Was like good old times! <3 We both used to attend an anime group with some of our friends back in high school. I'm not as much an otaku as I used to be but I'm definitely a seasoned anime fan ~_^ my first couple shows were Sailor Moon and Pokemon when I was 11 or so; I love most manga by Clamp; other shows I like are Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL and anything by Miyazaki.
More recently I've discovered an interest in the traditional side of Japan; I study geisha informally and am learning about the basics of things like kitsuke (kimono wearing) and tea ceremony. Also pretty recent is my affection for JPop... lol. My username "Ike Ike!" is the title of a song by pop/parapara group Hinoi Team. Oh yeah, school... at BSU I study graphic design and illustration, hoping to eventually go on to animation.

Anyhow, that's my Japanese-loving side in a nutshell. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
