Hello there! Just introducing myself here. My name is Marina and I'm 24 years old (well, I'll be 24 tomorrow). I'm originally from Argentina, been living here in the US for almost six years now. I came here mainly to make a living drawing my comics. Still working on that, but, I'm doing my best. (^_^)
I had my first brush with One Piece when Shonen Jump began printing it. I was too much into Inuyasha for a few years to really get into it, though. I didn't really dive in until about a month ago, and browsing this forum helped to intensify my interest. Now I have all the volumes Viz printed so far (plus I've read up to chapter #450 in scanlations), most of the music, and my walls are slowly being taken over by One Piece posters!
I'm looking forward to sharing my obsession with others here. There seem to be a lot of friendly people!
By the way, please bear with me if I make a mistake once in a while, as English is not my native tongue, although I've been speaking it for quite a few years. 
Again, I look forward to getting to know you all!
