I've thought about it and I realized that even though I've been on the Otaku for quite a while, I'm pretty sure that none of you really know about me. Well, I'm not going to be revealing any private information for stalkers, but I'll tell you about me. xD

My name is Mariel, I am 15 years old as of more than two months ago, and I really, really, really like anime.
My favorite colors are red, purple, black, and white (not in that order); I am neither smexy nor a kazekage, but I used to love Gaara, thus my namesake.
I was born in Panama, have moved at least 5 times in my life, and am Hispanic, African American, and Native American.

I have a fraternal twin sister, GoDanceTheSound; her name is Rachel. I have a mother and a stepfather. My father is.. somewhere in Iraq. He hardly tells me where he is these days...
And I have a beautiful baby sister, which I am holding in the picture. xDD

I dislike school immensely; I have random crushes on anime characters (currently Kaitou Sai and Nougami Neuro); I have developed an obsessive state of mind, and I am stubborn, but also very kind and considerate.
I get jealous of people who can draw better than me, but it's usually more admiration than anything else. It pushes me to become better.

I want to become an artist when I grow up. A manga-ka or an animator for MADHOUSE would be amazing! 8D

The first anime I've ever watched was Sailor Moon and Pokemon; the first manga I've ever read was One Piece.
I like to talk about anime an awful lot, which is becoming a problem, and I usually end up embarrassing myself because of my passion for it.

What I fear most in life is to be alone, and to be rejected. I try very hard to make friends and have conversation with people, but I'm not necessarily gifted with social skills... I'm much more popular on the Internet, on the Otaku, than I would be in real life.

But I'm trying to change that.

Recently, my doctor has been thinking that I have depression and making me take Prozac. It's a hell of a drug, makes me feel sick. It's supposed to help but I'm not so sure..

I love my mother very much. And my sisters too. I constantly worry about what life would be like if they were gone.

On a lighter note, I think that I am blessed with basic drawing skills. LOL. They're alright but not as good as what I hope to be.
I love listening to music, especially to J-rock and American rock, techno, dance, and instrumentals. LOL.

I suppose that's a good chunk of me right there. I hope to know more of all you soon too. xD

By the way, this picture of me will only be up for a few days. xDD
