So, you want to know more about me? Well, to tell the truth, there's not much to know ^^; I just graduated from Kent State University in Ohio with a B.S. in Photography. I'm currently living with my parents but dreaming to get a place of my own with my boyfriend, Mike. One of my hidden obsessions is my family though, so I greatly enjoy the time I get to spend with them.

As for my nerdy side, I spend at least 10 hours a day on the PC. I really don't know how I don't weigh 300lbs o_O I'm an absolutely horrid multitasker, meaning I can't stay focused on just one thing if my life depended on it. It's amazing I ever got this site done! Cosplay doesn't really take priority among my hobbies, though that's mostly because I only have a tiny room in a tiny house in which to work, and it's very hard to get motivated when I know I have such limited space. When I'm not browsing the net or updating my websites, I'm probably playing a PC game. My favorite at the moment is Guild Wars, and everyone knows how time-consuming MMOs are. I'll cosplay from it if I ever stop playing it lol.

At the point of my life I'm in right now, that's about it, but hopefully that'll change very soon since school's over and it's time to get on with my life (but that doesn't mean giving up on any of the things I love!)

I guess this is as good a place as any to explain my internet alias ^^ Well, Takagi Nao is the name of my most beloved Japanese theater performer. She played SailorUranus in the Sailormoon Musicals (SeraMyu) with which I am absolutely obsessed (thus my other website, SeraMyu Antics). Since the moment I first saw her on stage she was my favorite. Her passion for the stage and willingness to go above and beyond for her character, yet still put so much of herself into the part, has captivated me since day one (it also helped that she played my favorite character lol). So I started using 'TakagiNaoSama' as my internet alias because of my love for her. It was way before I ever started cosplaying, but somehow it stuck, and I've since tried to adapt the name to my own persona. I never want to claim I am her or try to be her, but it remains a dedication to the inspiration she's been to me.
