Looking for Little Washu's "Cute" Homepage?
The reason you have made it to this page is because Little Washu's "Cute" Homepage is offline. The last web hosting provider, Host-O-Rama, didn't like the traffic I was generating... I'll just leave it at that! So now I am looking for a new home again, hopefully something that will last more than three weeks. Until a new home is found, Washu.org will directly go to my Homepage. Know a good web hosting provider or a friend with a mega-server, then please send all suggestions to [email protected]. Just remember that free web hosting providers will not host these sites because of it's extreme bandwidth use, so don't suggest'em. Thankyou!

The Official Seal of "I'm going to Animazement and you should To!"

Introduction
Welcome to my homepage! Let me tell you a little about myself, I am a graduate from Western Carolina University with a B.S. in International Business. I also doubled majored in Management, and was certified by the University of Hawaii in International Management. Some of the things I like to do is watch Japanese Animation, play on my computer, and travel.

Japanese Animation
Yes, a big fan of Animé. My favorites include Tenchi Muyo, Slayers, Vampire Princess Miyu, Dragon Ball Z, and Pokémon. This attraction to animé has caused me to spend lots of money on tapes, DVDs, posters, wall scrolls, fansubs, music cds, and cells. Though I am not fluent in Japanese, I do plan to one day learn the language and hopefully even to visit the country of Japan. Ultimate dream is to work for a animé company, I would be set for life.

Computers
When I am at home, I am usually on the computer. Some of the things I do on it include surfing the web, chat with friends on ICQ (or other chat forums), and play games. Since I know a little HTML, I have created several websites. My most popular site has to be Little Washu's "Cute" Homepage, a shrine to my favorite character in the animé series: Tenchi Muyo. For those with ICQ, my number is #4284509, I go by the name Xellos. For others on AOL Instant Messenger my name is MarkClifton007. I will have to authorize you, so please tell me a little about yourself when you ask, or I will not authorize.

Travel
The main reason I choose International Business as a major at WCU was so I could get a job where I can travel the globe. I haven't traveled much as of yet, but down the road I hope to visit everywhere and everybody. The current travel tally includes the United States (33 states), Canada (2 provinces), Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. Furthest points: North was Billund, Denmark at 55.7° N, South was Na'alehu, Hawaii, USA at 19° N, East was Berlin, Germany at 13.5° E, and West was Mana, Hawaii, USA at 159.5° W. I know you probably don't care, but I find it interesting and that's all it matters.

Misadventures Take a journey with me to some of the places I have been -nyo. You will not only read about it, but also have pictures of whatever came across my view -nyo. From chillin' at home too crazy animé conventions -nyo. If you want to know more about who I am, you then need to know what I have done -nyo.

Other Stuff
From things I own to things I like.

Websites
Here are websites created by yours truly. I don't always have the time to update them all, but when I do you can always see an improvement (or at least a change). Why don't you checkout some of my other fine work.

• Carolina Highways - http://www.carolinahighways.com/
  One of my even more odd websites I've created. First Anime, now Roads? Well I guess it could be worse, and when I make that website, then this site wouldn't sound so bad.
  
  
• Fairy Princess Ren - http://www.crosswinds.net/~elfprincess/
  I created this site for a series that at the time had not have one single web page about it. I'm glad to say that I was the first to have a Fairy Princess Ren site up on the web. If you haven't seen Fairy Princess Ren (a.k.a. Elf Princess Rane), do so, it is one of the funniest animé I've ever seen.
  
  
• Little Washu's "Cute" Homepage - http://www.washu.org/
  My first anime theme site, dedicated to the greatest scientific genius in the universe.
  Site is currently down because it's homeless!
  
  
• Mark's Hawaiian Homepage - http://www.geocities.com/hawaiian_washu/
  A misadventure that needs its own website. Checkout some of the wonders I discovered during my three months stay in the 50th State.
  
  
• Sakuya Kumashiro's Destiny - http://www.sakuya.org/
  Another shrine I created, this time dedicated to Sakuya from Shin Tenchi Muyo. Though my most favorite is still Washu, I couldn't help but notice the lack of Sakuya shrines on the Net. So here is my answer to this injustice; complete with pictures, sounds, and movies.
  
  
• Washu-chan's "niedliche" Homepage - http://www.washu.ch/
  The German version of my popular shrine to the red-head goddess. This site wasn't so easy, especially since I don't speak German; but luckily I found help by the name Brazil. With Brazil's help, we pushed the Washu movement throughout central Europe. The "ch" stands for Switzerland, which is where the server for the German Washu Shrine is based on.
  
  

Past Websites At one time, I also created a shrine to Sailor Venus (from Sailor Moon) and Ukyou (from Ranma ½). Both these sites didn't last long because they were not anything special nor exciting. I was also the webmaster for the WCU Japanese Animation Society (1998-99), which still continues to this day. I also help some of my friends with their homepages, even teaching HTML to a couple. Oddly, several of those people now have jobs in computers now (some even webmasters), and will not admit who helped them out in the begining (that's gratitude for you). Finally, here is a list of past web accounts I once had: CompuServe, Carolina Internet, SimpleNet, Crosswinds, Xoom, Host-O-Rama, Mikomi, Appalachian State University, University of Hawaii, and Western Carolina University.
