The 411

C.C. Sharumun is the mysteriously not so mysterious entity that’s been haunting the internet since 2000 under a variety of names. She was originally brought to the “Japan scene” after discovering the wonders of Sailor Moon as a child, and has since become, as some people might call, a “wasian”. To hell with the critics; they don’t know what they’re missing.

C.C. is currently studying Japanese and drawing, while developing a strong obsession with Japanese music, finding it refreshing when compared with the music scene in the United States. She also likes to blog, journal, and visit art sites and forums, read comics, read, and be a “gurl gamer” when she can. In her spare time she drafts her own stories and conceptual character art, and hopes one day to bust into the creative market with her ideas.

She dislikes discussing politics on a regular basis, and tries her best to take a more balanced outlook on the occasions on which she does. Otherwise she enjoys intelligent discussion on a broad variety of topics.

She hates sappy/corny romance movies/novels/etc., and treasures romances done well.

At present, C.C. is currently trying to get over her bias against Apple computers that was forged from poor experiences with them in her youth.
