Profile

I'm an old-enough-to-drink-young-enough-to-know-better fangirl in Tallahassee, Florida, who is (against her will) more from Phoenix, Arizona, than anything else. (My birthday is visible - beyond that, you don't need to know the actual year. If you pay attention, you'll figure it out.) I always welcome new friends, but I'm not very good at keeping up with them. I am the lurker on your LJ, the stalker of your fiction and the secretly jealous admirerer of your art. If that doesn't creep you out, feel free to friend me. I always friend back, and seldom do a friend-cut unless someone else cuts me first. Even then, I may lurk. I don't post much, and seldom about personal things, so if you're looking to get a scoop on the soap opera of my life, you'll be better off looking elsewhere.

Within these pages you'll find boys, boys, boys and (omg!) occassionally a girl. I'm an unrepenetant lover of yaoi/slash/shounen ai, though I don't mind the occassionally het or yuri/femmeslash/shoujo ai. I roam Fandom freely, having started in Bisjhoujo Senshi Sailormoon and evolved from there. At any given time I may be following anything from the Labrynth to Ranma ½, though Harry Potter and Kindom Hearts have held my attention far longer than most series. Comedy, Romance, Drama, Smut... I'll read almost anything that's well-written. This makes me picky. XD I dabble in graphics of all sorts, and have been known to do fanart, though it's rarely posted. Far more often you'll find long rambles on various non-sensical or political/religious/sensitive subjects (example: if Roxas is locked inside Sora, what does he do when Sora and Riku are making out? alt example: Abortion: Pro-Choice.) I don't back down from topics, and I long ago figured out that if something's taboo I want a damned good reason for it before I'll go along with the crowd. This means that I'm quite happy to deal with any subject I'm hit with, and may well do so vocally and at length. Consider yourself warned.

In regards to LJ drama, I'm very much in it, though hopefully as more than just another drama llama. Rants, raves and thoughts on that abound. I desperately want LJ to succeed while at the same time being terrified of losing everything that makes it special to me. It feels rather like a Mom & Pop type of diner which has turned into a chain branch. I used to hang out there, just to chat with other customers and the staff. Sometimes I'd pitch in just because it was something I wanted to do to keep the place going. I love that it's getting big and everyone knows it, but I loved the original too, and I can't help but wince and cry whenever some corporate move strips away the charm that it used to have. I'm all fired up to keep LJ as a place we love that's similarly loved by the rest of the world. Yes, that means running it as a business, but with any luck we can convince the new owners to keep around the things we love best while adding on in a way that's both profitable and dovetails with the community we love.

For more personal information, Japanese is my shaky second language, but I'm so rusty I creaky, and I am not literate in that language. I can piece out hiragana and katakana, but I only know 600 kanji. I also play the violin, though I haven't touched it in years. (sigh) I am the proud owner of a dog (Shih Tzu, named Zena), two cats (unknown, named Duzie and Set) and a horse (buckskin running Quarter Horse, named Lady, registered name Imprint of Silence). That's only my pets. I currently live with my grandpa and various other relatives, and the total animal count of the household comes to nine dogs, two cats and three horses. My parents are alive and well in Arkansas, and I have a brother who is currently in jail in Arizona. My extended family on both sides is vast and varied, so I won't go into that here. My current job is as a Blackboard Technical Assistant at Tallahassee Community College, which is neither full time staff nor high-paying, but it keeps bills paid and is work in an area with a terrible job market. I grew up in various locations around or in Phoenix, Arizona, and for all that I detest cities and the desert, it's still very much my hometown. All of my friends are still back there (and on LJ =D), as well as the family I know best and the places I prefer to go. (Word to the wise: Tallahassee has no decent sushi restraunt.) I miss everyone and thing there terribly, though if it were rural and densely vegitated I'd be much happier.

That's about it as far as that goes. If you're still terribly interested in me for some reason, go ahead and dig around in my journal. It existed for a long time before I really cared about it (and I was around LJ lo~ong before this journal existed - I'm such a lurker), so the earlier entries are pretty dull, but I hope you enjoy yourself nonetheless.

LJ has gone psycho-momma on its users, as I'm sure you've all noticed. That being said, I need to lay down some rules, though I hate to do it. Break them seriously and you're blocked.

1. Be polite. If you disagree with something or someone, say so, but keep it civil. Debate, don't argue.
   
2. Ask before you snag. I'll usually be fine with spreading my stuff around, but it's polite to let me know first. I might have a reason for keeping it close to my chest.
   
3. Credit. If you snag, credit whoever deserves it, whether it's me or someone I snagged from. This keeps the happy spreading around.
   
4. If it offends you, either don't look or refer to rule number one.
   
5. If you're here to convert or push for a religion, political party, ethic, etc, you can go away now and save yourself some time.

I'm a big believer in the idea that if people don't tell kids about drugs, sex, rock'n'roll or Republicans, kids will find out anyway, and probably in the worst way possible. Still, I like my journal and don't want to lose it. For these reasons, consider the following:

1. Anything which is sexually explicit is marked and locked. Summaries of explicit fanfiction can be found here for those who don't like to randomly friend. If you want to read one, either reply at that entry or friend me and I'll add you. If you don't have an LJ, e-mail me.
   
2. I do not check ages when I friend, but this may change if the rules change.
   
3. Adult topics which are non-explicit (politics, relgion, sex which is non-descriptive/pictoral) are not locked.

1. See General Rule 3.
   
2. Constructive critcism is greatly appreciated.

1. See General Rule 4.
   
2. See Graphics Rule 2.
   
3. Requests and ideas welcome, but unless you endear yourself to me greatly, I seldom make promises.
