Age: 21
Country/Continent: Born in Canada, live in the UK
Race: Iberian/Celt (Portuguese/Scottish/Irish ethnicities)
Personality: Usually a bit depressed, either reserved and silent or very excitable, enthusiastic, depending on moods. In both cases, usually quite cynical and sarcastic
IQ: No idea
Otaku or Not: I have often wondered this myself- it seems to be a rather nebulous category, so, again, not sure. I imagine I do not count. I am not a NEET or a 引き込もり, if that is what is meant.
Height:174cm
Weight: 73kg/160lbs
Eye Colour: From a distance they look brown but close up, in the light they have a russet colour near the iris and dark grey with a touch of green on the periphery- okay, I admit I am vain...
Hair Colour: Dark Brown
Favourite Food: Many/something I make successfully- always gives a feeling of accomplishment/satisfaction
Favourite Music: FF OSTs, particularly piano versions, Nakagawa Koutarou, FreeTempo, Utada Hikaru, Jazzin' Park, Chemistry, Debussy, Rachmaninov, Orff, Corelli, Moraes, Veloso, Oliveira, Elis Regina, Gypsy Kings, Ana Moura and whatever genres these might fall into. I don't listen much to English pop but I do enjoy a few of Regina Spektor's songs, the black eyed peas remix of Mas que nada- the only thing I like of theirs and I enjoy many other versions of this song and Kaskade
Favourite TV shows: I don't watch much television in English but I did happen to see The Game of Thrones series and very much enjoyed it and I have fond memories of to the manor born

Most Visited Websites: MU, facebook, gmail, uni website, cooking sites, yellowbridge, anidb (used to use it much more)
Religion: Atheist but interested and respectful of many religions- I have studied a lot of the history of the Christian church during the reformation, earlier Wycliffe and Hus traditions, the medieval church during the Crusades, particularly under Innocent III, as well as the Jesuit missionaries in China and Japan. I am also interested in modern interpretations of Confucianism (ie. Mou Zongsan and Du Weiming) and I have also pursued interests in Shinto, Buddhist, Ancient Egyptian and Greek/Roman traditions and mythologies bringing me to visit many temples, shrines and churches in some of these countries.
Education: Just finished a joint degree in Chinese and History. I am preparing for the JLPT N1, this coming December, a culmination of personal study of Japanese during the past 6 years.
Other hobbies: cooking, violin, reading (mainly fantasy novels, also a fair amount of non-fiction), writing (fantasy), ballroom dancing
