Greetings~

[monado]

Like a large number of people (or so I would imagine) I'm coming fresh from Livejournal as well...new year approaching, put all the hassle that site has been going through with the attacks behind me, etc etc. Now is a good time to make some new friends also, no?

NAME: N/A (I'd prefer to keep this confined to my journal)

AGE: 22

INTERESTS: Sub-dividing this, for the sake of depth, since interests often make the first impression~
Anime: Madoka Magica, Steins;Gate, Tiger & Bunny, Star Driver, Sengoku Basara, etc. Those are just my recent fandoms in this area, mind. xD
Games: Dragon Age, Xenoblade, pre-fifth gen Pokemon, pre-OOT Zelda, FFXII, too many others to list. I'm something of an avid (yet highly critical) gamer.
TV: Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, Babylon Five, Buffy, Angel, Smallville, etc. I like good comedy shows as well.
Books: The Malazan Book of the Fallen. If you've read this, you're my new best friend, and I demand you add me so we can talk about it! Oh, also stuff like the Riftwar Cycle, the Shannara series, anything written by David Eddings, and I'm getting into The Wheel of Time at the moment.
Music: ...a lot. Mostly symphonic metal, but I delve into classical, old pop and rock music, a little opera, and various other one-offs. No modern pop, though.
 
HOBBIES: Your bog-standard mix of reading and writing fantasy novels, gaming, lurking online, etc. I occasionally roleplay and make icons and mood themes and things when I get creative bursts.

JOURNAL CONTENT: Whatever springs to mind, really. I go through periods where I talk mostly about my interests (you can be sure at that point either nothing is happening in my life, or far too much is happening and I don't want to talk about it) although I talk about University etc a lot as well. Sometimes I'll just rant about something. My journal is both my blog and my diary, I suppose...despite the fact that all three words essentially mean the same thing. xD

LOOKING FOR: Nothing in particular; I can get along with most people. Similar interests aren't essential, but they do help in forming bonds, having a discussion etc. I can happily have a discussion with someone about pretty much anything, though. Just as a warning, I guarantee you won't agree with a lot of my views, so open-minded individuals who don't take things personally (for me, a discussion is just a discussion, there is never anything personal to it regardless of whether I agree with someone or not) would be nice. I have no real expectations of people, though.

ANYTHING ELSE?: Nope, I think this is probably long enough as is. There is a nice intro post on my journal people can read if they want to know more once we've become acquainted etc, this is probably more than enough. xD

Hi, I'm another LiveJournal convert

[hollybrooke]

As the subject indicates, I'm another convert from LiveJournal. My real name is Holly (and we'll leave it at that), I'm 31 years old, I live in Indiana, and I cashier to pay my bills. I'm an aspiring artist/illustrator (I'm looking to get into art school for animation in the next year after two attempts at regular college).

INTERESTS:
--cartoons/animation (South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Jem & the Holograms, Sailor Moon, Spongebob, Rocko's Modern Life, Daria, Beavis and Butt-Head, Ren and Stimpy, Dexter's Laboratory, Archer, Regular Show, Shin Chan, Adventure Time, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and of course, Disney/Pixar works; my faves are Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Lilo & Stitch, Toy Story, WALL-E and The Incredibles)
--learning foreign languages--art (all sorts, but I dabble mostly in painting and illustration)
--writing (short stories, satire, prose, longer fictional works...but I have never participated in NaNoWriMo, usually because I have lots of other stuff going on in November)
--pro-wrestling (mainly WWE, but some indie stuff as well. My favorite wrestlers are CM Punk, the Miz, Chris Jericho, Beth Phoenix and the Big Show.)
--music (all sorts, I have pretty diverse tastes, I tend to listen to a lot of pop, classic rock, alternative and Motown soul; the only kind I don't care much for are nu-metal, scream-o, and gangsta rap; if I have to single out some favorite artists/bands, I'll go with No Doubt, Weezer, Garbage, The Black Keys, The Killers, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Cheap Trick, The Who, KISS, Poison, Prince, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Journey)
--TV shows (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Seinfeld, The Big Band Theory, American Horror Story, I Love Lucy, Gilmore Girls, Mad Men, The Mighty Boosh, Absolutely Fabulous, Monty Python's Flying Circus, MST3K, The Walking Dead, Jeopardy)
--watching movies (favorites: Pulp Fiction, Gone With the Wind, There's Something About Mary, American Psycho, Clerks, National Lampoon's Vacation, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Office Space, Planet Terror, Dawn of the Dead, Legally Blonde, Bridesmaids, Muriel's Wedding, The Wizard of Oz, The Dark Knight)
--reading (I read all sorts of stuff! Recommend me some new stuff!)
--playing with my dog (I have a black Lab)
--cooking and baking
--vintage advertisements/commercials
--musical theater
--making fun of bad movies
--amusement parks and rollercoasters/thrill rides
--I'm not a huge sports fanatic, but I do try to keep up with football (I'm a Bears fan), basketball (Bulls fan), and hockey (Blackhawks; notice a trend here? I live about an hour away from Chicago).

Like I said, I had two prior stints in college for English Lit and Journalism, but I got burned out on studying about those subjects. But I do still enjoy keeping up with current events and what's going on in the literary world. (I thought I would have a career working as an arts/entertainment reviewer or something, but it never panned out.) And anything else of interest....I got to be an extra in The Dark Knight (my fifteen minutes of fame, *ha ha*, and yes you CAN see me in the film).

If anyone is interested in at least perusing my LJ before deciding to add me, feel free to do so! (I'm <lj user="promisemewings" over there, for the time being anyway...) I'm looking to add new friends and get acquainted with Dreamwidth!

A'llo

[wildflour]

Hello! My name is Alana and I am 22 :) Like many others I have decided to come on over to DW after all the recent lj drama. I don't plan to leave my lj entierly (yet?) but I am still interested in making friends over here.

Boring background info: I am going into my third year of uni this spring after lots of on and off and changing my mind. I plan to become a speech therapist. I live with my sister and her family as well as 3 cats who I adore more than is healthy. I am a home-body with depression and anxiety issues, so if a little whining now and then doesn't suit you, we might not get along ;c

My #1 fandom type interest is Korean pop music and has been for 7 years. I love 2pm and Girls Generation most of all. Besides them I enjoy Secret, Miss A, Se7en, Wheesung, Dear Cloud, Nell, Wonder Girls, and T-ara. I also listen to Japanese pop and English language music of all styles so if you don't like kpop no worries!

I watch way too many tv shows. The Walking Dead, Mad Men, White Collar, Game of Thrones, Golden Girls, Adventure Time, and MLP:FIM are the tops. I enjoy anime/manga as well although I am not so good at keeping up with recent things. Natsume Yuujinchou, Code Geass, Toward the Terra, Wolf's Rain, and Seto no Hanayome are a couple I enjoy.

I write fic sometimes, make icons sometimes, play Sims 3 and hidden object games, watch movies, and just recently started reading comics. Basically I like too much stuff and yet somehow always end up bored!
