@Foolio:

What's with the sudden influx of great intro posts? It took me a while to get through the post though because Hattori's eyes are hypnotic with the reflection of the Galley-La fire in them. If you're embarrassed about still not being able to read Japanese, maybe you should try that out before pursuing German and Greek :P do you speak it though? 僕は日本語の専攻をしたが、会話の練習がまだ足りない。Also I did look up your username and if that describes you then I'm sorry? ^^;;

Yup, I realize it's impractical to want to learn other languages when I haven't even mastered Japanese…....And yes, I can speak Japanese, though its been pointed out that my choice of words is similar to those of a grandma. I understand how Kaku feels :P

Well, Hi everyone.I'm Shlimazl (go Google it if you're curious), a half Japanese Seattleite who STILL can't read Japanese. Like some other people here, I've known about AP for ages before I decided to get to it and create an account. My goals in life are to travel around the world, learn German and Greek, and maybe even become a vegetarian. In my spare time I read manga, take pictures, draw, read, write and listen to music. I'll listen to anything you throw at me, as long as its not pop. I have a huge obsession with steampunk and all things circus related. I've been reading/watching One piece for four years. Personally, I prefer the anime, although the newer ones tend to drag on.My favorite saga is probably Water 7 along with the Impel down arc and Marineford Arc. I have a lot of favorite characters,but Luffy, Franky, Whitebeard and Trafalgar Law are probably the highest up on the list.Anyhoo, thanks for bothering to read this, I know these introductions can be kinda annoying to read. :PP.S. I've read somewhere that on the internet everyone assumes you're a guy until you say otherwise. For your information, I'm agirl
