I just thought that I would introduce myself!

My name is Brad and I live in Bloomington, IL in the USA. I am 19 years old and I am in my first year at Heartland Community College.

My interest with Japan started around 7th grade, when a couple of things happened to me all at once. First, I began watching Dragonball Z on Cartoon Network. Second, I watched Barefoot Gen in my Geography class at school. Every since then, I have been fascinated by the Japanese language and culture!

Currently, I have 2 Japanese pen-pals (I talk to one by e-mail, the other I talk to by e-mail and letters). I am also studying in college to become a Japanese translator for businesses. I have seen countless anime and read even more manga. I have many J-pop and J-rock cd's. I have read works from several Japanese authors and I one day hope to see the wonderous 'Land of the Rising Sun' with my own eyes.
 
hello!
your sig is funny because it's true!
...I saw it.. once.. it wasn't very bright and I couldn't see clearly, but I know it was English that did it.
 
Thanks for the welcome. The first time I saw it was on a t-shirt and I also thought it was funny because it was true.
 
Welcome! Enjoy the forums! Most of us are really nice, and any that aren't quite as nice usually know a lot more about Japan and Japanese than us really nice ones.
