A Word: While a lot of people say they are a Japanese anime "otaku", I am not. Please don't call me that. "Dai fan" is fine, but "otaku" is unacceptable to me. I have an itching feeling most of you using it don't truly understand what connotation it has. Thank you, you have been warned. ^.^
Favorite non-Japanese show: 1. The West Wing
;__; I'm obsessed with it, really. ^^;; Oh, and "Scrubs", which is fabulous as well. And let's not forget "Monk", "Boomtown", OR "Law & Order" and any of its incarnations. ^_^
