Gunner Yuna. It was my 14th birthday and I felt like making it.

Tell us a little about yourself
Currently I'm in college studying to be a librarian. All cosplaying, video game, and anime fandoms asside, I play drums and very addicted and passionate about it. My favorite song to play on my kit is "Fire" by Hendrix along with a Chicago compliation that was arranged to have four of their hits on it (preformed at my band concert). I am also a huge fan of WWE wrestling (RAW, Smackdown, and ECW). Some of my favorite wrestlers are Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, CM Punk, and Carlito. I am a born again Christian and proud member of the straightedge movement. I have a small obsession for Rob Lowe, my favorite actor, and a huge obsession for anything with Jeff Hardy's face on it even if CM Punk is my favorite ever.
