Hey! I'm Courtlyn from the US and I'm really interested in learning Japanese and learning about Japanese culture. Of course, I'm interested in many other parts of the world as well, so all please definitely send me a message if you want!
I love drawing anime/manga and watching anime/reading manga. I also love just meeting new people. Writing is one of my biggest passions and I hope that that's something I can be successful with later in my life. I love learning about different cultures and meeting new people. I know a little bit of French and some basic Japanese phrases and words, but I'm in no way bilingual as much as I'd love to be.
Uh...talk to me more to get to learn more?? ^_^
Requests
-I'm on here primarily for friendships ^_^ I'd like for all relationships I start on here to start at that level only. If it builds from there, then that's fine.
-I'm an Equalist, but I'm not a radical. I ask that you please respect that =)
-I would like to Skype people in the future, but I don't give it out to people who I don't feel I'm close enough to.
-I'm pansexual, but I like girls a little bit more, so maybe keep that in mind before starting a conversation? Thanks!
Language Exchange Requests
I really don't know too much Japanese. I know phrases and words, but in no way ready for any conversation that I can understand without English words being shown to me. However, I feel that it is the language I absorb the best, so I'm ready to learn it ^_^
I take French in school and I'm in French III right now. I didn't have room in my schedule next year for French IV but I want to continue it. I can understand a lot of spoken French, but it takes me a bit to comprehend it and I don't always catch the right meaning of the sentence. I'm open to any help in continuing the language and making it better!
Hobbies & Interests
Almost anything anime and manga is a huge interest for me. If you'd like to know more specifics, I don't mind starting a conversation. Writing is a huge thing for me as well! I love singing a ton and I've been doing it since I was a kid. Show choir and concert choir are both my passions. I love dancing as well, even though I may not be the best at it.
I love learning new things and talking to people as well! I can't think of anything else right now...
Favorite Music
I tend to lean a lot toward dubstep and electronica/techo (if that's a real genre). I used to listen to the Vocaloids a lot, but it's dwindled a bit. I listen to almost everything, really, except for country, some rap, and some pop. My music tastes tend to change often, but Linkin Park has always been one of my favorites. Oh, and I really love soundtracks!
Favorite Movies
It changes all the time, but I really like a lot of the animated movies and Disney movies. Favorites right now are probably Tangled, The Lion King, Valentine's Day, and uhh...it honestly keeps going on.
Favorite TV Shows
I don't watch a lot of TV, but my favorite animes right now are K Project, almost anything by CLAMP, Tiger and Bunny, and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. There's a ton of others I like, but those are a few that I really like
Favorite Books
Favorite Manga: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and a ton others by CLAMP
Favorite Book: Changes a lot, but I definitely enjoyed the Hunger Games series and what I've read of the Mortal Instruments. They're the most recent, but I don't have a lot of time to read anything else
