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.

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!

Hey, I was also home schooled, only through 4th grade though (and my brother through 6th grade).

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

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.
