Hiya! Well, new year, new and improved bio. Woot =)

Okay, so, my name is Russa. I call myself that after my favourite character Russa Nodrey from the Redwall book, "The Long Patrol". I am a Canadian and I am proud of it. (Honestly, despite Canada becoming more like the States, in general, this country is an awesome place to live.) I am a relatively quiet person, though I can usually talk about my interests and favourite things for hours.

My interests include drawing Anime, Anime and manga, reading, writing stories, watching TV (yep, I am a couch potato), playing the piano, playing video games, playing soccer, and surfing the internet. I have to say that my No. 1 interest is definately Anime. I have been into it for about 5 years (all started with Digimon), and really, I think I've reached the point in my fandom where I can't imagine my life without it. I love Anime alot =)

SOME ANIME AND GAME QUOTES THAT I JUST HAVE TO SHARE

Baron: Always believe in yourself. Do this, and no matter where you are, you'll have nothing to fear.

Curtis: I'll tell everyone you're chicken!
Porco Rosso: Chicken? Pig? What's the difference?

Kira: If I have the power to make a difference, why not put it to good use?

Willis: I need to be alone.
Davis: Great. I'll go with you.

Willis: Davis, you're a baby!
Davis: Who are you calling a baby, you baby? (looks down at himself) AH! I'm a baby!

Matt: All right, folks keep it moving. Our next spot on the tour will the forest of irrelevant road signs. No pictures please.

Yugi: Uh, Joey, I don't think you're supposed to cook the candy bars.
Joey: Hey, I know what I'm doing!

Joey: Hey look, Mokuba, that fairy turned you into a girl.
Mokuba: Great. Can she make you smart?

Ash: Huh? I don't see a beautiful girl.
Misty: Why don't you just turn around?
Ash: Misty, please. Only one of us can halluncinate at a time.

Ash: If anybody's out there, you can come out, and if you're a monster or a ghost, you can stay where you are.

(Describing Fai and Kurogane's real eye colors)
Sakura: The Fai we know has beautiful blue eyes like a saphire.
Mokona: And Kurogane's eyes are red like a bunny!

Ed: I don't understand how you keep falling in!
Al: I get full.
Ed: Of what?!
(Al opens his suit and sand falls on Ed.)

Ed: (crawling through a vent in Labratory 5) This is tighter than I thought. If I was normal size, I never would've fit. It really is a good thing I'm so small. I... (stops himself) GAH! No, it's not!!

Rick: (first meeting Lisa Hayes) Hey Roy, who's the old sourpuss?

Hunter: I just realized. I'm a full-long superhero!

Dan: (sweetdrops) Technically, yes.

King Marden: Yes, even guys like me want to be beautiful.
Monica: What?! You're a guy!

Jack: Oogie Boogie, give me back the heart.
Oogie Boogie: You want it? Well, then come on over and get it.

(Two Heartless come)
Oogie Boogie: This is it?

Phil: Kid, I got two words of advice for you: Attack!

Hades: Oh right. There was one other rule I forgot: accidents happen.

Leon: Sora, Donald, Goofy, we were hoping the three of you might give us a hand around here.
Sora: Like were gonna say no?
Leon: I forgot who I'm dealing with.

Sora: I don't get it. Why's everybody been calling me 'Roxas'?
Riku: Because, Sora, Roxas is your Nobody.
Sora: My... Nobody?! But that's crazy! I never turned into a Heart... Oh right.

Roxas: (to Sora) You make a good Other.
