I'm often quiet and shy. However, when I'm in comfortable situations, I can be slightly silly.

I enjoy music of various genres and countries. Some of my recent favorites are Japanese musicians (Morning Musume, Aya Matsuura, Biyuuden, and Melon Kinenbi). Other artists and bands I enjoy are listed elsewhere in my profile.

I also enjoy listening to old radio programs from the 1930s-1950s.Some of the genres are drama, suspense, science fiction, comedy, and detective stories.

Offline, the only people who know I'm gay are my parents and two of my friends. Fortunately, they all accept me. However, I'm still reluctant to tell others. I'm more open about my orientation online, although I still feel awkward when I visit a new online community.
