Stryker Blue's Entrance

Hail and good tidings, A-S!

Found this site when I was fervently searching for the second half of the First Phase o' Gantz. Been here about a week or so and I'll have to admit I love it. Lotsa discussion about anything there could be a discussion on. Lotsa friendly people.

Anyway, I s'pose this is an introduction. I'm a 17 year old high school senior dude from Montana. Real name's Stephen (with a "v" sound, damnit) if you really wanna call me that. Stryker Blue sounds cooler, though.

Started watchin' anime back in middle school on Toonami, but started my anime collection 'bout frosh year o' high school. As of now, I have over $1600 worth of anime, which also translates to being just short of eight straight days of sitting on a futon glued to the tube. I think that makes me an otaku--the good kind, that is. Well, if there is a good kind. Americans like to say that being otaku is a positive thing, but I've read that it's a rather negative connotation in Japan.

Other than anime, I hang with me mates 'n' do crazy shite a lot of the time. That or go to school, which is turning out to be pretty fun. Started the 30th of August. In AP Gov't, AP English, Calculus, Physics, second year of Computer Science, and I'm doing an independant Senior Project that will include me programming my own RogueLike. So basically I'm gonna have the most hectic school year of all time.

After I graduate I'll be heading to Montana State University to major in Japanese and potentially minor in either Computer Science or Arabic. I really wanna be a video game programmer, but the classes at MSU are more geared toward engineering rather than gaming.

After college I'll be moving to Japan. In fact, I want to do a year or two of college in Japan if I can. That'd be epic. I want to move to Japan because, I guess, that America pisses me off. Rather, conservatives do. Hate Big Business. Oh, and that Japan actually has its own culture. America, to use the old cliche, is a melting pot of cultures. It's only unique because it has no identity, really.

I hate most organized religion. Mainly monotheistic religions, actually. Mostly because it pisses me off that religion and politics are so closely linked to one another. I really don't like prude-arse Catholic parents dictating how I, a very much God-hating man, should live my life through the school district, through the city gov't, state gov't, federal gov't, etc.

I'm not an atheist. Agnostic, I'd say. I kinda believe in the Shinto system in which everything has a kami or spirit within it, and that those spirits are what we become once our bodies die. I actually believed in that system before I knew what Shinto was or had even heard the word "Shinto."

I'd like to say I'm a very philosophical person without sounding too big-headed. A friend of mind that's going to study philosophy in college and I frequently just lay out on the roof of a building (doesn't matter which building) and talk about the universe, our lives, why things are, so on and so forth.

I do a lot of parkour when the weather permits. Parkour was started in France, and is basically the art of movement; other people call it freerunning. I'm not as insane as to do wall flips and whatnot, but I've been known to jump a seven foot gap between two five-story buildings before. Nothin' dangerous or anything.

I listen to a lot of techno, a lot of DnB. Love the Champloo soundtracks, but I hate American rap/hip-hop/whatever-the-taff-you-wanna-call-it. I'm by no means racist (or sexist for that matter) but since I live in a state where there's probably less than 1% of the total population that are African-American, I hear a lot of racist jokes/comments around school.

Oh, and Digression is my friend most of the time, as you might have noticed.

And that's about it. Dunno if this is what an introductory thread is s'posed to be like or not, since this is the first forum I've ever joined.

Ah, and another thing. Ya, I call my friends "mates" and I use "me" instead of "my" a lot of the time--and use other foreign terms and whatnot a lot--but I was born and raised in this sleepy town. It's just habit to type like I do at this point, and I don't see meself changin' down the road.
