Hi there. My name is Kaji Motomiya, but you can call me "Kaji" or "Kamiya" for short. I'm a bit of a hobbyist, but most of my hobbies are artistic, falling under the writing, singing, drawing, and photographing categories. However, my arrival to this place involved a DANGEROUS part of my hobby that sometimes to mostly doesn't have to do with my artistic endeavors: CCC - Collecting, Creating, and/or Customizing.
C1: Collecting
I am a collector at heart. I collect games, systems, figures (which surprisingly ADDS to my arting), manga, pennies before 1960, etc. I also love to organize these collections in a fashionable, easy-reference easy-accessible order that makes my life easier. However, "collecting" often requires a good amount of money. 1/8th of my time, I have a job that probably lasts...1/8th of a year. My last job got me a good amount to go with, but that...quickly got lost. C1 is the most dangerous part of my CCC hobby, since it usually leaves me broke.
C2: Creating
As an artist, I like a little bit of creativity and originality. So I try to always come up with ways to make things my own. I take it as an art, and its originality tends to become my mark or signature. C2 ALWAYS goes hand in hand with C3.
C3: Customizing
When I customize something, it always involves something that can be used COMPETITIVELY. Beyblades, TCG decks, etc. I add my own personal flare into things, but I also try my hardest to think up my own combinations, own techniques, etc. And if I put my mind into it, I do a lot better than I expect!
Back in my day, I had two main Beyblades: A Dranzer F and V combo, and a Galeon and Galman magnet combo. These two usually helped me win my matches, and they were my prize. But then the Galman's secondary ring broke, and I suffered my first loss. I haven't played since...mostly because I realize how much money these things cost, and that I KEPT GETTING POOR BECAUSE OF THEM!!...Oh, and Bionicle.
But it seems a trip to Toys R Us rekindled my CCC Hobby in the form of Metal Fight Beyblade, and I'm currently researching on them to play for hobby again. Too bad they don't have local competitions anymore...
...So hi, nice to meet you all. Let's get along. DAMN, I wrote a lot...
