Hi there!

[haruka]

I'm Haruka, and I've been on DW for a couple of years. I love it here, and would like to meet more people who feel the same. :)

I'm one of those grown-ups who never grew up (where's the fun in that?) but that doesn't mean I'm a party animal. Truthfully, I'm a homebody, with my wife michiru, our pet gerbils, and our computers to keep in contact with the outside world (and to play games on, can't forget the games.)

There are recent fandoms that I love and older ones that I still hold fondness for, but fear not; my journal isn't filled to the brim with fandom posts. Mostly I write about my daily life (can you stand the excitement? XD) with occasional fannish mentions. I hate to admit it, but I have bad wrists, and my job includes being on a computer all day, so when I make a journal post, it's usually not too long or rambling (unlike this one.) Lately, I've made a lot of photo posts featuring birds that come to our feeders (you'll have to indulge me in that; we just moved and I've waited 18 years to get birds back in my life so I'm really excited about this. :D)

Current fandoms include sentai/toku series (Gokaiger being the most current), Prince of Tennis, Garo, Monster High, and Jpop like HSJ, NYC AAA. Please check my interests to see a MUCH longer list of fandoms I still hold dear, even if I'm not writing for them as much anymore. Oh yes, writing; you can find mine here, and that more than anything can give you an idea of my fandoms.

Besides writing and birdwatching, I enjoy RPing with my wife, playing games on Facebook (that's pretty much ALL I like about Facebook) and on my iTouch. I'd love to give up these games, as I think they're taking too much time from my writing, but so far, they've proven strong while I am weak. :(

I'll watch any movies or documentaries about sharks (Shark Week!) and dinosaurs (Jurassic Park!) I confess an addiction to reality shows like Survivor, Dragon's Den, Top Model, SYTYCD, and more. I have every Spongebob episode on DVD and know most of them by heart (he never fails to cheer me up!) When my music isn't Japanese, it's usually from the 1970s/1980s, and so are my non-reality tv preferences (Little House, Brady Bunch, etc.) Disney movies of all kinds are much loved.

I don't smoke or drink and really am not interested in reading about someone getting wasted. Too much netspeak or seriously lazy spelling/grammar makes my head hurt. I try to comment on posts when I can, and would like friends who make an effort to do the same at least once in a while. It feels odd to have people in my Circle who never say a word to me for months at a time. :( I'm childfree, so you probably won't want to be friends if the majority of your posts are about your kids (but pets are totally different; those I love hearing about!)

Although most posts start out public, I usually put them under lock when the next new post goes up (right now, I've left a few open so you can check me out.) And, if you feel so inclined, michiru is also looking for new friends. :D

We'd love to add you, that is...if you don't mind. We're..um, eccentric.

Trial basis is fine too - we have an open door policy with regards to adding, so if we don't mesh, you can de-add with no problems. Sound good?

[haruka]

That's always been my policy, too. Sounds good to me!

[wyldbutterflies]

Fantastic! Thank you.

OMG, your icon! So ded of cute right now. I am a firm believer that the addition of bunny ears makes anyone even more adorable.

[haruka]

So very true, ha ha! XD

[omnipotent]

I'd like to add you, as you seem pretty interesting to me. Is that okay?

[haruka]

Sounds great to me! *adding*

[omnipotent]

Thank you! Adding you now!

p.s. Outer senshi love. ♥

[haruka]

There can never be enough Outer Senshi. :D

[omnipotent]

Do you think your special lady would be okay with it if I added her, too? I've been looking for more journals to read.

[haruka]

Oh, please do! She'd love having more friends here. And thank you. *bow*

You make me want to dig out all my Sailormoon icons from storage now. I miss the series and would love to re-watch it if I can just find some time!

[omnipotent]

I've been on a Moonie kick lately. Since I haven't seen it in many years, it's almost like watching it for the first time again :P

[sorry_neither]

I just feel compelled to remark on how insanely cute I find it that you and your wife registered the usernames haruka and michiru, omg so cute.

[haruka]

We've been referring to ourselves by those names since 1996, but usually, as usernames, they're already taken when we arrive on a new site. This time, I vowed if we could get the names, we'd have Seed accounts here, and we got lucky. :)

What a beautiful icon you have!

[anneistic]

Sailor Moon will always hold a special place in my fannish heart. :3 Adding, if you don't mind.

[haruka]

Don't mind at all, thank you! :)

Hello! We have quite a few things in common. I'm also childfree, not very keen on organized religion, into things like video games and anime, and mostly write about my personal life. I'm not very interesting, but I do update often and like to be very involved with my friends' list.

I do want to note I do mention drinking occasionally, but I don't go on about it. I basically am a casual drinker once a week at home, and I might just mention if I made some new drink I like or something like that. (Or like the one out of two times I had a bad experience. Oops.) It's not like I am some crazy partier. I am actually quite boring and tame.

If you'd like to find out more about me, there's a link in my user info to my introduction. :) Thanks for reading! Let me know if you would like to add/subscribe, and I will do so for your journal as soon as I see the e-mail!

[haruka]

Sure, I'd like that. :) I saw your own post and considered adding you, but when you said you didn't like fandom, fic, or video postings I didn't think you'd be interested. I mostly post about my own life, but I do post the others when I'm so inspired. :)

[iris]

I don't mind when people post fanfics or fanart, but I do mind when it's all people post about. You seem to post about your life, too, so that's perfect for me! I understand sometimes people want to mix it up. I'll go ahead and add you!
