Dear KenOhki,

Wow, I feel so old! 8(  There are only a few people here
that are actually near my age range (I will be turning the
big 30 this June!)!

Anyway, if really want to know who I am, as you can see my
name is Sonia.  I am currently 29 years old.  I am an ex-
physics graduate student from the University of Minnesota.
I studied magnetospheric physics, but I have since moved on
with my life.  I am currently deciding whether or not I
should go back to school to get a Ph.D., but NOT in physics.
Physics and I have a love/hate-HATE relationship. =P

The first anime I ever watched was Princess Knight back when
it aired on Saturday morning (syndicated).  For some reason,
I was very captivated by the story and the animation style,
but at the time (I think I was under 10 years old) I could
not figure out why.  Other early anime memories include
Rankin Bass' offerings (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The
Last Unicorn, Flight of Dragons) and Unico.  My sister later
introduced me to Robotech and Voltron.

I started cel collecting after watching Sailor Moon, and I
still mainly collect magical girl anime shows (Sailor Moon,
Card Captor Sakura, Wedding Peach, St. Tail, Rayearth,
etc.), but I also collect other anime shows (Ranma 1/2,
Tenchi Muyo, Fushigi Yuugi, Gran Doll, Battle Athletes,
Project A-Ko, etc.).  I also have the bad habit of
collecting cels from shows I have never seen before, but I
bought them because the artwork was nice =).  It's not that
I don't want to see the shows, but I have a hard time
finding the time (and funds in some cases) to do so.  Most
of my T.V. watching time now is dedicated mainly in American
animation.  I have been a cartoon nut since I was 4 or 5,
and it hasn't curbed since ESPECIALLY since I discovered the
joys of listening and identifying voice artists which I
started when I was 13.  My friends have a website if you
are intrigued by voice acting:

http://www.voicechasers.org

Since I'm HTML handicapped, I really didn't contribute much
to the site =(, but I did donate my 200 page voice artist
catalog to them.  It's a surprisingly addictive hobby!

I guess that's it about my boring life =b.  I hope nobody
fell asleep reading this!


Sincerely,

Sonia
