And I totally found this site by accident, but the more I read up on it, the more cool it sounded, so yeah, that's why I'm a member now.

I'm an all-around uninteresting person who self-teaches Japanese, cooks, paints, photographs (was employed as a professional photographer for year until I decided I really hated the corporate side of my job), and wastes a lot of time with monotony and otherwise very mundane things. I'd give you my life story if I thought that it would be worth reading.
