introduce myself
hi, i'm new, over 40, from virginia. i enjoy debating about politics, i suppose you can call me a keyboard warrior?
i know chinese/japanese, so my favorite hobby is translations, specifically manga, anime.
i became seriously interested in politics when my friend , who is more liberal than I am, got me involved to help unseat cantor, which was good, but unfortunately, we ending up with another conservative... talk about jumping out of the hot wok and into another hot wok.
i also enjoy cooking, when i see something good, i want to figure out how to make it.
