Welcome to Gaia! :: Artist Gallery

Name: Yami, let's leave it at that. Get to know me better and maybe I'll let you know my real name.<br />
Age: 22<br />

<br />
I'm a son, a brother, an uncle, an '04 Gaia New Years baby, a fervent friend, an Eagle Scout, and a pretty easy-going guy. But that doesn't mean I'll back down when put to the test. To put it simply, you screw with the bull and you will get the horns.<br />
<br />
As it says above, I'm currently single, but not particularly looking at the current moment. In all actuality, I've never had a real relationship, but that's not to say I haven't wanted one. It just seems Karma has other ideas about the idea.<br />
<br />
I'm an Otaku. If you don't know what that means, you need to seriously gtf off Gaia. I have an interest in anime and manga, and I go to the convention closest to where I am every summer. In addition, I enjoy video games as well. Go ahead, call me a Dork. I take it as a compliment. biggrin <br />
<br />
I don't mind random PM's or Comments, but please. No random friend requests. I will not add you unless I have spoken with you on multiple occasions.<br />
