So, here's a page where I get to talk about myself and say whatever I want. I had it set up pretty normally before, but I decided to revise it and be a bit more personable. Maybe this might interest some semes, since I'm currently available. jukeandjade@keiichi.net. I answer this e-mail, and normally go by 'Emeryl'.


Position: I do pretty much everything on this site. Ishtar from the Aarinfantasy forums helps me proofread the Kyou Kara Maou translations in English. Suhi from the forums edits the Patalliro scanlations. Martino_SMO provides Patalliro scans. Kingofbraves on Livejournal constantly helps me understand more difficult things in Japanese, and Usagi likes to challenge my KKM translations so that I have to look at them again.
Location: America
Gender: Male, of course~

Currently, I adore Kyou Kara Maou. That's probably obvious, since I spend so much time translating it. Once I like something, I can cling to it for a very long time (I still have a Sephiroth statue sitting above me that I love).
I'm majoring in Japanese, and I hope to do some work on translations in the future. I don't think I can express how much I'd love it if I could actually do work on KKM novels after being licensed (which I don't see happening anytime soon). I enjoy college, I enjoy my teachers, and I do well in school (the last several semesters I've gotten all A's and one B+).
I actually want to be a priest and have my own temple where I could raise abused kids. I know that's not a normal goal, but it would make me very happy. That doesn't mean I want to be alone, though. I'd like to marry a nice, supportive seme (top, dominant, whatever you want to call it) that could help me build up my life.
I am a very loyal person. I usually entertain myself, so if I just have someone kind and supportive I'll be happy.
I am uke. 99.9% uke (bottom or submissive). And I'm a transsexual uke. I like to control things like budgeting, but in a relationship I love the comfort of feeling like I can let the other person protect me.
I love pretty boys. Honestly, I can like all sorts of men, but my concept of 'handsome' tends to be viewed more as 'pretty' in the American view. I guess the best way to show it would probably be to show some of my favorite semes and why I like them.

I love Leica. I guess I love a lot of things. But Leica is happy, upbeat, confident and funny. He's good with kids, too. If there were really people like Leica, I'd be excited to date them.
Leica was also poor, and had a fake arm and was missing an eye. It never bothered me (actually, the eyepatch he uses is pretty hot) because I had a kitty before that only had one eye.
See my kitty? Look, the same eye is missing, too! Kitty died a few years ago, it was pretty sad. Speaking of which, I like animals, but I've grown up with cats so I like them a lot (they're also low maintenance, which is pretty convenient). You might notice his left cheek is a bit pudgy, which was a tumor from the cancer he had.
Sephiroth, as I mentioned previously, has an statue sitting right above my desk. Besides the good looks, he's ambitious (perhaps if he had been ambitious about teapots things would have gone differently). For some reason, I could picture him being a cold-hearted businessman. I think a lot of the attraction to Sephiroth has to be the power. As an uke, I'm pretty naturally attracted to someone powerful (and I don't mean in money or politics. Even without those things, it seems like Sephiroth would have an aura around him). I guess that ties into the 'confidence' that Leica had.
I've always liked Vincent, too, but not in the same way. I think Vincent is someone I'd like to have around to stare at because he's pretty, and he'd probably make for a good intellectual conversation (and also might be wise because of everything he's lived through).
With so much Kyou Kara Maou talk, I should mention my favorite from that. Most people probably wouldn't even consider Wolfram a seme, so I guess that shows how far away I can get from the typical seme. He's honest, persistent, and loyal. I think it would be nice to be around someone who tries as hard as Wolfram does. He also plays the supporting role; while Yuuri is the one ultimately in charge of the kingdom, Wolfram is there for him and doesn't try to usurp the position (even though he rejects that Yuuri should be the one ruling at first).

I guess those are enough examples, since this is a page about me. I like hobbies such as writing, drawing, or making webpages (all of which I do less frequently than translating).
All of the coding on this site is written in old-fashioned Notepad. No highlights, no colored words (but it can see Japanese! We can all see where my priorities lie). All of the coding is oldschool, and I don't use nor like things like validators. Want to see a little rant about validators? Click here.

I'm very idealistic. I try to look at the reality of things sometimes, but I don't think I can ever leave my idealism behind. It has nothing to do with being innocent or naive (as much as I might act so sometimes), because I didn't have the perfect life growing up. I just don't see why things can't be better, or why it's necessary to live in the past.
And, like most people, I don't mind talking about myself. Anime, manga, BL games, novels, transsexuality, homosexuality, or anything else that pertains to myself or subjects that interest me I'm very open to discussing.
I started adding rants. I'm not sure why. Usually it's just whatever is irritating me at the time. Maybe I'll add more things later.

What I write here is a reflection of me. I try to make jokes. I'm rarely overly-serious. I will purposely write something 'serious' in a 'ditzy' way so that it comes off as silly. Don't agree with me? That's ok. If it's something like how to make a webpage I'm a lot more flexible than I may sound. It's just a webpage. I know there are counter-arguments; I can even agree with them to an extent. Humans can change their minds on a whim.
I'll bring up taboo subjects. Polygamy anyone? How about some incest? I try not to hide from subjects and I try to be as open as I can be about them.
