I know I'm like, really late for an introduction XD But here I am, thought it was about time I did this~

Name(+nickname) - I've used the alias Vixena Foxhood since 2003

Age - 20

How many years you have been an otaku - I'm going to start counting since I started watching Fruits Basket because that was the first real anime I started watching and enjoyed (Sailor Moon and Yugioh don't count because I was very anti-anime at the time). It's going to be two years since then! I got in to the figure scene about a year ago thanks to fellow blogger, Dancing Queen!

Nationality - American, but my parents were born in South America, so I consider myself a mix~

Outline of your collection - Mostly manga and figmas of characters that I love (mostly the Lucky Star girls). I get the figures of characters I like or else my spending would get a bit too crazy since anime goods aren't the only things I buy, I'm an active artist and most of my unds go towards that hobby of mine~

How much your collection cost - I really have no idea XDD My manga alone cost around... $2000, but most of it I got because I had some insane discounts at the bookstore I worked at ;D

Your fave item - My Konata Alto cosplay PVC, she's just so gorgeous!!!

Your website address - http://vixums.wordpress.com/

Anything else you want to say - I update my blog for fun, I comment for fun, most of my online life is mostly about fun and happy things, a way to distract myself from the stressful college life. I like to keep my room clean and tidy while packing it with things that I love (mainly art books and anime things, at this point XD) I think I'm pretty active on DannyChoo, I love reading the articles and seeing people's collections, especially the room pictures, I hope you all enjoy my room too!

Come on in, bbs!

This is my wonderful desk that I come home to every day! Sometimes it's uber messy and others it's very neat. I cleaned things up for the pic, of course, but I'm usually very obsessive over mess management in my room. I believe any room, no matter how awesome the things it holds, can never be fully appreciated if it's messy!

My epic bookshelf filled with my manga X3 My figures reside on top, but I'm running out of space, I'm going to need a detolf very soon! And when that happens, I'm going to have to get more figures... it's a never ending cycle!

My art drawers that hold my faber castels, prismas, copics, glitter, the works!! I try to make coloring traditionally a fun task or else I'll be tempted to do all my art works digitally, which is something I don't want to get used to. I want to be well rounded in my art, and looking at my drawers always makes me want to draw! Despite the demand for digital art, I think a well presented traditional piece always looks more satisfying!

Len says he loves him some Project Diva~ Probably the only worthwhile thing I play on my PSP, which I call Rollo. Do you guys names your electronics?

My wall filled with prints that some will recognize that I got at Otakon! They reside by pictures I got for my birthday as well, it's something nice to look at. I wish I could post up all the fanart I've received of my character, Vixena, over the years, but that would take up a huge amount of wall space (it's so nice to be able to say that ;-;)

The girls <3 I used to play with them when I was younger and unaware of Sailor Moon being an anime (if I had known, perhaps I would've been involved in this hobby much sooner~) I only put them here for the pic though because I use my scanner a lot and having them there makes it too difficult a process to get to.

And this is me, nice to meet all of you! Since I joined DannyChoo I've been wanting to present myself properly like others have done, finally I've done it XD

Well, that was the basic overview of my room, many more pics are over at my blog!!

    That's a lotta manga! At least they're shelved XD I really wished I worked at a bookstore too then I can get major discounts too, lol. Pretty organized room for someone who has $2000 worth of manga ^_^

      Haha, I love looking at that number and knowing that I paid probably HALF that amount. Actually... that's probably still pretty sad XD Thank you, I try to keep it as organized as I can!

    I wonder why a girls room is much more tidy when compared to a guy.

      I've seen some pretty neat guys room here on DC though @_@ I'm pretty sure a bunch of girls are used to messes too, though we're more self conscience when we take pics X3

    Your room has its own style and many things to spend entertainment moments.
    You're very tidy and I see that you like Sailor moon and Lucky Star XD.
    I really like your room and, as a south american, I send my good vibrations to you. Greetings! ^^
