Sailor Celaeno is currently a struggling college student. She is constantly frustrated at how little time she has to do the things she wants. In what little spare time she has, she's catching up on the anime she's missing and reading manga. She's also a fanfiction author, and she also works on this website and a couple of others.  Among her other hobbies, she bakes cookies and other pastries much to the pleasure of her muses the GW elves. She has an infamously giant pile of books that she buys and attempts to find time to read. The current novel she's trying to work on is Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens.  She's also working on the script to a manga she's working on for Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga 3. It's currently a mystery where in the world she's finding time to do these things. @_@;;;

So you want to know more about me huh? Well, gee. Where do I begin? Let's start with my hobbies! Art is my passion! I love to draw on anything I can get my little hands on! Unfortunately my parents won't pay for an Art school. So what do I do? I go to a tech school! I like to defy logic.^_^ Anyway, I'm still teaching myself to draw `cause I'm too poor to go to an art class. So I draw mostly on the computer because for me it's way easier to color. Plus I'm too cheap to buy a scanner. Anything else, I would have to say I'm a big Bruce Campbell fan!! He's so cute. *Ahem* Anime I love. I'm more of an art fan than I am with the actual stories. I hope that some of my 1000 stories I have swimming in my head will be published one day! Well, that's all for now! I hope you enjoy my work and all that good stuff!!

I am currently a college student at UT applying for graduate schools. I love manga, anime: GW, Initial D and DBZ. I also enjoy drawing painting and designing websites and graphics. I am constantly trying to improve myself with Photoshop or with any medium whenever I am away from my lab which unfortunately is consumes 99.9 % of my time. As you may see I am a total science nerd and love to be able to know everything about everything.

Japanese seiryuu for Gundam Wing's Heero Yuy and Fushigi Yuugi's Tamahome ~ I can be an rpg gamer and love mystery solving games as well ~ I am in love with puppies and teddy bears ~ I am a Pochacco fan [squeezes Pochacco stuff toy] ~ People think I'm psychotic [@.@]

Lemme see, for starters, I've been on the GW_Heero_and_Relena mailing list for 10 months running now (that's how I met Sailor C) and then SC popped up with this AMAZING idea and I decided to be editor [nods happily]. I'm a long time fan of 1XR, recent authoress and artist to enter the online world ^.^

For as long as I can remember, anime and manga had become one of my favourite passtimes. I would spend countless hours with my cousins, for they were the ones who first introduced me to it, reading mangas and watching anime b/c I was lucky enough to go to Asia, live close to a manga rentals shop (which became a daily routine) and have channel networks entirely devoted to anime. [sighs] I miss them all.

My all time fav has got to be Rurouni Kenshin and Gundam Wing, with Inuyasha fast getting up there. Not to mention Fushigi Yuugi and my beloved movie of Spirited Away (I must've have that damn thing 5 times already!). I am the president of my school's Anime Club (Go Zanyme Studios!), been to Anime North just last yr (going back again, of course), play the saxomophone and piano, I can speak five diff languages: English, Mandarin, Italian, French, and Spanish, and love going crazy.

Currently, I have written 3 fics on fanfiction.net: Sudden Expectations, As You Like It (In Progress), and Counting the Seconds (STILL In Progress). I did my first doujinshi, based on Rose's 99 Ways Proposal Challenge. As far as art goes, I do mostly anime orginals and fan art. I am also working on a website, dunno when it's gonna be up. Yet to learn how to CG properly [sheepish grin], and am a DDR whacko. I also like candy, very very much, and exceed my daily limit countless times.

S'all for now.

And big hugs to all in CAFE MANGA! (If I didn't mention anyone, I apologize in advance! I would love to meet you! Chat with me sometime! [grin])
