(The lyrics from the page title and header are from Madonna's "Who's that Girl," for those curious.) Anyway, if you wanna know a little about me, and have too much time on your hands, here's a little bit of info to tie you over. As you can see, I'm a freak with no real life.
Needless to say, that pic is of Teteiyusu, not me! ^_^

Favourite Quotes:
How I Discovered Seimaden- While browsing through the now defunct Pocket Bishonen, I accidentally fell upon a bishonen named Teteiyusu. "Boy," I thought, "That bishie sure looks like Sephiroth!" (Sephiroth is my favourite fictional character, FYI.) So afterwards, I looked up Teteiyusu on Yahoo!, and I found a site where I could download the manga. I was dying to know who Tetei was, so I downloaded it, and read it obsessively. It's now, as you can see, my favourite manga! I fell on love with the story, the characters, etc... Why do you think I made a whole site on it? ^_^
Name- None of your damned business! No offense.
-I'm a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino!

And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born."
