Yusagi is waiting to hear from you

Hi there. I go by Yusagi, just because it's easier to say than my actual name. I've been here before, but ended up distracted away from it....partly because I'm annoyingly shy.
I keep meaning to learn the Hebrew, Greek, and Japanese languages, but so far have failed in managing it reliably :(
Oh. Derp. I should also mention, I suppose, that I'm a published author. I usually write Fantasy novels, though currently I'm plodding my way through a Science Fiction one.
Requests
I'd love to make friends around the world, and am especially interested becoming familiar with other cultures. I'd love to make friends with people around the world who share interests. I hesitate to single out any specific places, because I don't really want to exclude anywhere.
I actually don't care if you friend me without contacting me first, I'll probably auto-accept...but if you IM me out of the blue, I'll probably be quite cold and rude, because I get a large number of spambots contacting me via IM. If you do choose to IM me anyway, I suggest immediately making it clear you're from interpals, not a vague 'profile' site, or I might mistakenly block you.
Note: I have a Skype, but I don't have a microphone or webcam.
Language Exchange Requests
When I say 'beginner', I mean...basically not at all, beyond recognizing how some sound. I've attempted to learn Japanese off and on, but have never really managed any practical grasp of it. However, I sometimes offer my services as beta/editor for stories and letters written in English, so I'd say I'm pretty good at the one language I do know.
Note above: While I have a Skype to listen with, I do not have a microphone to speak with, so any and all of my help will be text-based.
Hobbies & Interests
I love writing, roleplaying, and finding interesting ways to express my creativity. Currently, I enjoy making digital graphics and editing videos, though it's been a lifelong dream to conquer hand-drawn/digital art.

"I'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a better one. In the end you just get tired. Tired of the struggle. Tried of losing everyone that matters to you. Tired of watching everything turn to dust. If you live long enough, the only certainty left is that you'll end up alone." - The Doctor, Doctor Who
