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 unless you confuse me seven ways to Sunday (hint: if I haven't friended you back, try commenting somewhere to me), 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 ten 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 on parole in Arkansas (Edited 6/2/08). My extended family on both sides is vast and varied, so I won't go into that here. My current job is as a Technical Assistant at a 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.
