Another one from Germany : P

Hi everyone :D

After having read this site for quite some time, I decided to finally join you guys! I don't even know why it took me so long :O I guess I was just too shy ^^°

Soo.. My name is Rie, I'm 20 years old and I live in Germany. I have been listening to J-Music since I was 11 or 12. When I came across LM.C I just had to love them love

.. But whom am I telling :D Unfortunately I have not yet been able to see them live :( (It's some kind of odd magic that involves me being abroad or somewhere else reeeeally far away whenever there's a concert I desperately wanted to go to.. Happened with X Japan and Miyavi, too :() But I will definitely see them next time.. Nothing's gonna stop me this time :D

Yeah.. What else? :O I like to do Origami and I'm currently practising sewing. My next big project is to finally start learning Japanese. I have tried but I haven't been really successful. I can't afford real classes at the moment because I'm at university so I try to learn it on my own. So if anyone has any kind of advice for books or anything.. That would be sooo superduperamazing ^_____^

I hope this was not too long and you didn't get bored!

It's nice to meet y'all! :3

Hello! Welcome to the MAD FAMILY! cheer

I think there are some websites and stuff that teach Japanese ^__^ You'll need to go and find them. There are some links to textbooks on Tumblr I think.

Anyways, hope you make lots of friends and have fun! :D
