Shiori~
Hiya Everyone~ I'm Shiori, third board of the pro trio^^ Usually I'm very nice.....maybe...but most of the time I'm easy to get along with, unless you do something extremely stupid to get on my nerves, then I blow up and start nagging the heck outta you^^ I once said I would never create a Senseis page...but KGS's profile is too limited, and I can't add enough information on one person, without cutting out another!! Btw, my KGS account is also Shiori, look me up sometime for a game, if you're interested ^_~ I'm about 13k currently in rank, but KGS is so whacko, you never know~ I think I'm actually weaker....
I'm often very pessimistic, because I don't believe I can do it. But thats gotta change. So from now on, I'm telling myself, "I can do it, You can do it Shiori!" Because if even I don't believe I can do it, who else will? I may be weak, I may have zero talent, but as long as I believe, my determination and passion for this game will pull through.
NekoFang says that if you don't believe it, you'd better look behind you at all your senseis and rivals! >:O
If you have time to spare, drop by my room under social ^^ Its Starlight Tavern!!!
Hobbies
I enjoy reading manga and watching anime alot. More than 1/3 of my hardrive is probably packed with manga^^;; I also like listening to Japanese music alot. Sometimes, rarely, I'll find an American music that I like. Of course I also enjoy playing Go^^ Step by step, even if they're baby steps. I'll slowly but surely walk closer to my goal of being Pro. I will make it. I want to make it. Go is something that has burned my passion for these past four months, and though I may be very weak, not even close to being an Jap. Insei, I will climb and climb until I reach the peak. I know I can do it, because its not just a dream, its a goal.
Rivals
I have very few rivals I actually care about. Sometimes, I claim someone as a rival, but then tend to forget about it..... If that happens, I'm sorry >.<
NeoNaifu? : What should I say? Neo is a very important rival. He was the one that I played ever since my beginner days. When I first lost to him, I felt very frusturated and swore to myself that I would beat him, that I would surpass him. And I have, twice. The first time I surpassed him....he surpassed me again shortly. But I have once again surpassed him lately, and I tend to keep it that way! Second board of the pro trio~
WenKang? : For some reason, a while after Neo left and I started losing motivation, thats when Wen came. I felt the same frusturation as when I did with Neo, and I vow to one day beat Wen. I haven't yet, but I'm sure as I slowly climb up stone by stone, I will also at the same time get closer to beating him, no matter how far he rises.
NekoFang : She's my aibou, my partner in crime...er...go..., and my other half on KGS. Sometimes she scares me, sometimes I scare her ^_~ But I do know that its very fun being her aibou, like she is mine. Aibou is scary, she rises up so fast, and its hard giving her handis as you never know her true rank. She reminds me of the me who used to always chase after neo^^
Aibou has officially surpassed me. I think she was always ahead of me. She always studied more than me, and took Go more seriously than me. Yet I will keep chasing, like I once chased Neo, I will keep chasing until I surpass her.
For some reason, all three of these people think I have potential. o.o Which is not true. But regardless of that, it makes me happy to hear that someone thinks I'm useful, that I can be good at something. So I will do my best, nothing beats hard work after all~
Teachers
I am grateful to all my teachers. They have helped me lots, and I promise to try my best to fulfill all their expectations of me, and to become a student they can be proud of.
Eires : <-Lazy teacher xD But also someone very fun to hang around. He's very strong, and I'm glad that he's there for me all the time! If he ever is mean to you in a game, and you're a DDK or weaker, I'll yell at him for you ^_~ Eires is very funny, and he's always nice to me. *Bugs him alot on MSN* But he talks to me...most of the time^^
Honte : He's scary...but also very kind. I don't think I've ever seen him go all out on me, and thats why I'm scared of his strength. But he's taught me alot *still is*, and for that I love him^^ Honte's a very good teacher, he watches most of my games, and points out my mistakes sometimes. I learn alot from him~
Shinato : Shii-nii is very funny~ One of the youngest teachers I have. He goes easy on me when we play, like Honte does. And I too, like aibou, vow to become a go player strong enough, and worthy enough to be called his rival.
Dinnertime : Tom is something like an unofficial teacher, he teaches me things once in a while when my other teachers aren't around. He is the first board of the pro trio. Tom is funny, maybe annoying sometimes, but I am grateful for him teaching me many things^^
Gorival : Kyaa~ Ri-sensei's awesome....mean sometimes, but he's willing to teach me.....^^ So I love him~
Senpais
MysticXG : Kyaa~ Mys-senpai~ *Hugs* He's funny, and willing to play me. Can get a bit over his head and greedy....but I still love him~ ^^
Friends on KGS and those who have supported me...
Katrina : She is one of my real-life friends. Even though Katrina didn't like me playing go at first since she didn't understand the reason I was so crazy about a "boring board game," she soon saw just how much I loved it, and now supports my dream fully, even to the point of agreeing to go to Japan with me when the time comes to take the pro exam!
Dominique : Dominique was always the more passive one of us three. Usually she always calmed us down when we were in a heated rant or something along those lines. I moved away from VA, away from them in the summer of 2008, but I'm not all that worried. They support me and my dream, and thats all the proof I need that I will always have loyal friends supporting me.
Be aware, the future three musketeers will soon reunite in 3 years~
