RPGs, manga, cosplay photography, acting in short movies. Ho, and a bit of cosplay of course.

Pulp Fiction, The Princess Bride, anything Kubrick, brainless action, anything animated... I like cinema in general but haven't got the culture to be called 'cinephile'.
Currently trying to catch up on TV series. Joss Whedon is one of my heroes.

Rammstein, X Japan, Björk, metal in general, and movie scores. I'm not a big music fan in general, I don't know much even in my areas of choice.

Neal Stepheson, SCI-FI, Harry Potter. Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal was my high school bedside book.
I read quite a lot of manga, and my favorite are : Tokyo Babylon, Nana, Yuyu Hakusho, Bleach, Akira, Gunnm, Nausicäa, Eden and 20th Century Boys.

Hi I'm Ashura, I'm thirty, and some people may think I'm a bit old for manga, cosplay, and that stuff. But I still feel good in these hobbies and don't plan on stopping yet. I'm a IT engineer, so being called a nerd doesn't annoy me that much.

I started cosplaying back in 1997, but I'm too lazy to make more than a couple of costumes a year, so I have done fewer in my so-called carrier than people who started less than a couple of years ago. However, I still attend a lot of cons as a photographer.

I'm married to Kirin, a fellow animefan and computer nerd, and we have one child, our sweet daughter Alice, born on july 14th, 2006.

Machismo, stupidity.

I get along well with fellow geeks; because I can have this kind of enthusiastic conversations that make "normal" people stare at you.
