Gender: Female
Age: 19
Country/Continent: United States of America
Race: Mixed! Mostly Caucasian and South American Indian, though.
Main Personality Traits: I'm what you might call an artistic type. I'm always thinking about something or other, so I tend to be absent-minded; I also tend towards mood swings, mostly manic/depressive. On the other hand, I've been told that I'm a good listener, and I must be pretty dependable because everyone I know keeps depending on me. I'm also into a lot of weird stuff - I usually don't tend towards the mainstream in any of my likes or dislikes.
IQ: 114
Otaku or not: Yes!
Favourite food: Chinese stirfry/lo mein (the real kind, not cheap packaged stuff)

Favourite Movie: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Favourite English Cartoon: Rocky and Bullwinkle
Most Visited Website: Mangaupdates.com!
Favourite Actress: None
Favourite Actor: Joaquin Phoenix

I'm also home-schooled, if that makes a difference 😀 I haven't found many other home-schooled otaku, but it would be nice to think there are some!

Really? There are certainly more than I originally thought 🙂 I've graduated now, but my whole school experience was at home. It gave me a creative atmosphere to grow in, and I know it contributed to my love of anime because it left me with an open mind. Also, I never had to deal with teachers/school friends/parents telling me how 'dumb' anime is 🙂 Instead, my siblings watch it with me all the time!

Somebody should start a thread for home-schooled anime fans!

Yeah that wouldn't work for me since I'd probably take advantage of the fact that it isn't really school so I would play around and go read manga instead. I wouldn't have wasted 15 years of my life in school though. Seriously everyone thanks for posting in this thread and it's now reached 10 pages so that's enough you can keep adding your info but I won't use you in the statistical analysis(like you care right?) so the cut off point is Emperor pogi and Arahyacinth. Thanks a gain 😛

Hehe, I find that home-schooled people tend to be more inventive and creative than us the monotone scholars.

Anyways, here I go.

Gender: Male
Age: 16
Country/Continent: Panamá, Central America
Race: Um, I guess I could be considered more of the latino stereotype.
Main Personality Traits: Eccentric, always looking for new things to learn. Inventive, gets bored easily if topic is not of much appeal. Uh... parsimonious and strictly scientific, I try to find the logical view of things. That is, except when I am absorbed in manga or anime. Thus, I guess I could be quite hypocritical.
IQ: According to Tickle, this is 132.
Otaku or not: Yep, I guess so.
Favourite food: Anything goes, but Italian and Asian foods are effective.
Height: Hmm, I dunno about this. ._." When was the last time...?
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Dark brown
Favourite band/musician: Hmm, many, from Daft Punk to Streetlight Manifesto to Janne da Arc.
Favourite English TV Show: Smallville... Heroes?
Favourite Movie: Hmm, The Butterfly Effect.
Favourite English Cartoon: I was a fan of Spiderman since little ^^
Most Visited Website: Wikipedia.org 😛
Favourite Actress: ... Julia Roberts.
Favourite Actor: Hmm... Jackie Chan always makes me laugh.
How many siblings: Two.

Oh dang it, lilchoconut must've realized that chueisha isn't 13 years old but 12 when she edited her post and I replied. 😉 (chueisha posted her info on April 27, 2007 and no mention about her birthday, as far as I know.) I wonder if otakubaybay knows about chueisha's age since the former was believing she was the youngest when she posted her info.
