Happy early or late birthday, Sonja! That patch is quite a nice present. Of cource even better is the gift of accepting that this is part of who you are. 
I have been trying to recruit my significant other into the ranks for a while, and though she accepts my love of anime, the only one she's ever watched to this point is Sailor Moon, and that was when she was a youngster.
I'm known, but you don't know me, unseen but here you see me. An author and an alias, but whose is anybody's guess!
I'm stoked about the writing contest (please forgive the horribe pun, lol)
