*bows* My humble thanks for accepting me into your group. I look forward to many adventures together.

By way of introduction, GinaNami means silvery wave in Japanese. I was born on the first night of the full moon while my parents were net fishing on our beach. My father, who is a storyteller by profession, loves to recite the moment of my arrival, describing in great detail how a beautiful iridescent wave flowed ashore, and lingered, gently caressing my mother's limbs as I entered this world. He says that I laughed outright, when most newborns cry, and began swimming immediately in the surf. My father embellishes his stories a bit, but he says that is a storyteller's prerogative. *G*
