So I'm currently taking a weekly Saturday beginners Japanese course at a learning institution. 10x 2 hour lessons for $200 which is pretty good value, and we get a fluent Japanese teacher to practice with. Small class of 10 too. Anyone else considering learning Japanese? Or perhaps you studied it in school? If so what is your level of proficiency?

Konichiwa! My name is Fizuru, which is Japanese for the English word Fizzle! (Fizzle basically means a sound that is weakly dying sound.) Anyhow, I've grow decently tired of writing introduction posts right now, been joining a lot of forums lately. However I will try to add the most important stuff about myself here, though if you have any questions then just ask! So lets start with the basics shall we! I'm a 17 year old, gay boy living and raised in Norway. I've been a fan of anime for years, actually my first anime that I saw was back when I was 2 years old. Though I had no real idea of what anime was until I turned 7 and a few years later I got into manga. (Best choice I've done in my life, well almost.) Besides my obvious interest in anime/manga (from joining this forum, that should be fairly obvious if you ask me. ) I have quite a few other interests, my main one these days is thinking it seems. By that I mean that I enjoy thinking, dreaming and figuring stuff out. I want to know and understand people in general, their struggles, their strengths, their choices and so on. The reason I want this is that I so deeply wish to help and support people. You see, I have a keen interest in helping people, which is the reason I want to study psychology when I get older. I want to understand and help the best I can. Other interests I have, hmm. Well there is music, but I don't really have a specific type I like more than others. I either like a song, or I don't. Oh, and I am a gamer and I've been that for as long as I have been a anime/manga fan. Now my main last hobby is art! All types of it, though I love to draw and design stuff! (Web design, traditional artwork, writing and lost more!)

So, having me search for images might have been a very bad idea @Optic ... As within 20 minutes of searching, I've come across a dozen images that you can use Little Busters Rin - http://i.imgur.com/frbg68A.jpg Kud - http://i.imgur.com/OvIbgLa.png Haruka - http://i.imgur.com/tX9obtH.jpg Mio - http://i.imgur.com/rOtcciF.jpg <- Favorite one Fate/Stay Night Saber - http://i.imgur.com/R61RPZP.jpg Rin - http://i.imgur.com/1fa1GD8.jpg K-On Yui - http://i.imgur.com/PqjUj8J.jpg Toradora Taiga - http://i.imgur.com/DHI9thu.jpg Spice and Wolf Holo - http://i.imgur.com/b5rRsVe.jpg Well, it was a dozen, but a few of the links were broken.

Thanks @drill, and you're welcome. Ooh those are some very nice images. I'll play with those towards the end of this week. Now that I figured out how to get the overlay going (which took the most time) it's just a matter of doing the images now. Keep the images coming if any more come to mind.

Ganbatte @drill! Alas, I haven't written a story let alone a novel since high school. Writing essays and reports at university then work sort of dulled my creativity.

This is amazing @Optic! Thanks! You'll have to let me find some pictures today to post here. (I do have a few, but as of now they are all touhou characters ) EDIT: Actually, I'll just post what I have as a few of them are anime characters.

@drill, @FearInCube - I have a test version up and running. Let me know your thoughts. Need more images, so if you have suggestions post them in this thread. Renders and/or transparent character images work well.

As a Singaporean, I'm really glad to be one when it comes to breakfast. The variety of food I could choose from never gets old. From the common breakfast like cereals, toasts, sausages and eggs, to the more local flavors from the Malay, Indian and Chinese community. There are all types of breakfast we could get.
