Hello!

[killua]

Hello! Since there seems to be new people coming to Dreamwidth, I thought I'd post here again! C: I go by Kura on the net! I'm 23 years old, Chinese American, absolutely hilarious, and I'd like to think pretty friendly!

I'm here on Dreamwidth for good and I'm hoping to find people who are also here to stay. If you're just here to test the waters, I'll be really sad if you abandon ship and your journal ends up inactive. I'm also looking for more real-life oriented people; fandom posts are more than okay of course, but I would much rather read about your day and how things are going in life. BASICALLY I just mean to say that I don't want current fandoms to be the only thing holding a friendship together. My own journal is very real life-oriented and I talk about school (soon to be how it feels to be unemployed, I am not entirely looking forward to that), family, friends, and the cutest cat in the universe (except your cat, of course.) In any case, if you're not at all interested in that sort of thing, I am probably not the one for you!

As far as posting and commenting goes... I live a somewhat crazy life and I post pretty sporadically. I post fairly often, but sometimes it's daily and other times it's...not. I love receiving comments, but due to said crazy schedule, I don't always have time to leave them in return and replying to comments may be slow. As such, I completely do not expect or require a person to leave comments in order to be friends though hearing from you occasionally is nice!

For interests...I like old pre-2005 anime since I don't usually have time to get into new series, I like a large variety of video games though I don't have the time to play all of them (I keep an occasionally updated gameblog at yorda), and I love cars. I'm easily amused, I find most jokes funny, and I just try to enjoy life even when life is trying very hard to make me feel otherwise.

I'm also an art university student studying visual development for entertainment and trying to graduate (very soon!). I have grand plans to be employed by some animation or video game studio in the future and my endeavors to do so are often a topic of my entries. I have an artblog at kaiba where I occasionally post artwork when I'm not...busy working on school work, though sometimes I post work in progress pieces to my main journal (that's the one I'm using right now).

ANYWAY, if you're here on Dreamwidth to stay, not only about fandom, friendly, and uh, yeah, friendly, I'd love to be friends! Leave me a comment here and we can get introductions out of the way and maybe even start a beautiful friendship!

Comments

Maybe you'd find my jokes funny. They are hit and miss with people hehe. When I comment half the time it's a joke.

I'm not involved in any celebrity/book/tv fandoms, but I sometimes talk about the video games I play which City of Heroes might be considered a fandom.

I mostly post life stuff.

Anyway we can try each other out if you like. I'm definitely been here to stay for a while. Love my current friends too much to quit.

[killua]

Sure, I don't mind giving it a go! No hard feelings if it doesn't work out. C:

[wyldbutterflies]

We could try each other out if you want. Don't really blog too much fandom stuff - mostly school and life life life!

Some of this journal is public, so you can decide if you want to add and then we'll take it from there, yeah?

[killua]

Hi! I certainly won't mind giving it a go. Just a quick question... are you...multiple people? The constant "we"s is quite confusing ;; and TBH I'd like to know who I'm talking to haha.

[wyldbutterflies]

Multiple people, one body - if that's okay.

Our icons tell who is posting/commenting.

Still wanna give it a go?

[killua]

Ohhhh okay sure, I don't mind.

[oftheuniverse]

I'm definitely on DW to stay; despite how slow things are on this site compared to LJ, it's infinitely friendlier from what I've seen so far. As far as fandom...while I'm definitely into a couple shows, I actually rarely post about them. I mostly journal to let myself vent/rejoice about life.

Your major definitely sounds interesting! I used to be hugely into drawing but I had to force myself to realise that I, personally, wouldn't be able to make a career out of it. xD But I love seeing that some people are determined to make an art major work, and I'd be interested in seeing your progress towards graduation and beyond. :)

--Also your kitten is adorable!

[killua]

Hello! I was just glancing through your public entries and your profile and you sound like a really nice person. :D Uh I thought I might mention one or two things that I thought of when reading them though XD:

1! I do occasionally post about fandom and I am totally okay with other people posting about fandom and their fanwork and the like. It's just when that's all the journal is about..well, unless I'm also into that fandom it gets a little difficult to follow and all that. BASICALLY, occasionally or sometimes or even more often than that is totally okay, but I'd hope there's something else we can connect over as well! Er, just so I didn't come off as "YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO POST ABOUT FANDOM EVERRRRRRR" because that's completely not what I mean. But yes, life! Life is good.

2! I noticed you mentioned being turned off by drama in your profile. I'm a little unsure as to whether this means you prefer to not read about drama at all or you prefer not to get involved with online drama or whatnot. Because uh, as of recently my life has been especially dramatic and I do in fact vent quite a bit about it on my journal so er.

I must agree with you on my kitten's adorableness! Thank you!

Anyway, HAHA if you're still okay with me uh, I've gone ahead and granted you access to my journal and subscribed to yours. If you have second thoughts, feel free to let me know and no hard feelings whatsoever! :D

[oftheuniverse]

Awh, I'm flattered. :D (Especially since I always worry that I come off as cold, at least in person. xD)

1. Oh no, you didn't sound like you meant you wouldn't friend someone who ever posted about fandom, don't worry! Thank you for clarifying though. :)

2. Ahhh, yeah, I meant just sort of one-on-one, interpersonal drama. I've got nothing against people venting about drama in their lives, and I honestly vent about MINE quite a lot. I mean that more in the sense that I like to avoid arguing with people/don't like starting stuff. (At the time I'd written up that profile, originally for LJ, I had just had a bit of an issue with a particular community and getting harassed/seeing others harassed. I hadn't realised at the time that it was a community more driven by snark than anything...)

Granting you access/subscribing in return! :D

[moonlight_dreams]

Hi, I'm just starting out on here so looking for friends. I intend on sticking around. I write about my life. I'm a bit older, in my mid thirties (though young for my age), so as long as you dont mind that I think we'd get on nicely :-)

[killua]

Age is no problem to me (though when I say that I really mean please be over 18...which you are so yeah, no problem there).

I've added you~ I hope you'll start posting soon. :)

[mind_serration]

I added you. I don't know anything about fandom so I hope you won't mind if I never comment on that :) I normally post (or complain or vent) a lot about everyday things in my life so my journal is not terribly exciting but it is great therapy for me LOL.

[killua]

Sure! I'd be happy to give it a go and no hard feelings if it doesn't work out. C:

[eileanach]

Hi there Tidus, I would really like to add you to my list if you wouldn't mind. I wouldn't comment much on fandom related stuff since I am not active in any.

However, I am quite active and like to make effort with people, might I add you?

[killua]

Hello! You sound really nice, so I totally won't mind. :D And don't worry about commenting on fandom stuff haha I don't mind at all! (I also don't comment on fandom things unless I know what the fandom is. ;;)

I've given you access and subscribed~ :)

[eileanach]

:D Awwww thank you.

[killua]

Though, awkwardly, I do hope this will be mutual. XD

[eileanach]

Oh yes without a doubt it will, you sound like a delightful person. :D

FFFF I am sorry like a total TARD I haven't added you back! -bangs head off wall- I am so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! XD You probably think I am a real twat. I apologise.

[killua]

Oh no way! I figured you might have forgotten/gotten distracted with something else but completely had no idea how to mention it without sounding really awkward.

Good thing that all worked out with us both being equally embarrassed. HAHA ♥?

[eileanach]

Hahaha your icon is so appropriate to how I feel right now. I am sorry once more but there you go my ramblings are yours to browse. ;)

[killua]

IT IS NO PROBLEM :D

[caelanbaggins]

I'm also here to stay and would love to be friends with you!

[killua]

Sure! ♥ Happy to have you on board!

[lucridlucifel]

You seem pretty real and interesting. I'm 23 too. And American! lol. I write occasionally about fandom, but I mix it up with RL posts as well.

add?

[killua]

Hello! I was just browsing your profile and your friends only post and both say you only rarely post about RL and it's mostly a fandom journal? Has this changed recently then?
