I sketch in my free time and I enjoy malice mizer, matsu jun, gackt, dir en grey, nightmare, alice 9 and japanese soaps. I love to travel and I'd especially like to live in Japan and Europe.

My name is Chris. I was born in the summer of 1990, on the Tenth of July. I am normally an introverted person, but as of late I have become less shy in public. I am short, not too short, but short. Most of my friends are taller than me. So sad. I am chubby, I'll admit it; not so much as to call me fat, but chubby. Confidentially speaking, I am an Otaku, and I am proud of it.
