NAME: Dia
AGE: 27

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Oh Lord, let's see. I have a lot of interests and almost none at all, if that makes sense. Right now I've somehow fallen into what my friends have called "k-pop hell" and that's been dominating my music for the past...three months? Other than that I love musicals and firmly believe that HAIR has changed my life. As for music in general I'll listen to just about anything, it just takes me time to get to it.

I am a very casual gamer and it takes me forever to actually finish a game, let alone complete very many. Actually, I have terrible luck when it comes to playing the Final Fantasy series but that's another story. Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game as of right now but I haven't really found anything else that I've wanted to play other than the Uncharted series. I also have a couple otome games on my phone but I'm only really able to concentrate on one of them at this moment.

Fandom-wise I bounce all over the place, I have a very core few that I'll always come back to but other than that I'll dabble here and there. Gravity Falls is one of my absolute favorite shows that have come out in the past 10 years but I will watch just about anything. Some other fandoms I poke my nose in include Community, LOST and Harry Potter.

I really enjoy reading, I've just gotten so bad about actually doing it, it takes me a while to finish a book. I tend to stick to YA books or comic books but I haven't really found a comic series that I really want to keep up with other than Zodiac Starforce. But I absolutely would always love book recs.

I'm also working on figuring out how to bullet journal cohesively and consistently. So far I'm doing great but once the summer comes we'll see how it goes but the goal is to at least keep a tracker going.

I'm also still in the stages of learning how to sew. I haven't done too much in regards of making things other than a couple of aprons and a bib in the past year. I have managed to make part of a costume for comicon and am going to attempt to do another couple of pieces again this year so I definitely need to get off my tush and start working on that.

LOOKING FOR: Anything really. At once upon a time I was active on LJ (weren't most of us?) but that's really waned in the past couple of years with everything and I really want to start getting back into this game so I can use this for more detailed posts instead of cluttering my bullet journal and trying to figure out what the heck I wrote.

ANYTHING ELSE?: Currently, I work at a school that specializes in behavior and the kids in my class are all 5th/6th grade so every great once in a while I might just vent about the job more than anything, especially as the year comes to a close in the next couple of weeks but other than that it'll be a little more of a day-to-day thing although I don't plan on posting every day unless my week ends up being super exciting. But if I keep up with what I did on my LJ, it should still be more life stuff with some work and fandom thrown in.

i would love to have more people to talk ya/books with! it's the majority of what i read. :)

Oh most definitely! I'll give me a good kick in the rear to start reading way more than I do now. I'm not terribly picky with books but I'll be damned if it doesn't take me forever and a day to find one that I'll start and actually finish.

Teaching in Arizona in particular is brave. The number of international school teachers we meet from Arizona and Florida (because it occurs to them to leave the country more than teachers from other states due to working conditions) is high. I currently work with 6th graders, although I have taught 6 all the way up to graduate school. I will probably feel a good bit of your teacher pain.

I love games and reading! And I work with kids too, although much younger ones (under 3-year-olds at the moment) haha. Want to be friends? You can read my own introduction post here if you want to know more about me!

Of course!

My best friend has also fallen into kpop hell (although it's been like two years now), do you mind if I ask which groups? :'D

I'm a pretty casual gamer too! Although more insofar I get hyperfocused on one game for a while, then get distracted and never finish playing it.

ZODIAC STARFORCE!!! I recently bought the first volume, it's so good, I love it!

You seem like a pretty cool person, I'd like to add you!

Right now my main focus group-wise is got7 and stellar but I also love snsd, wonder girls and I'm starting to get into exo (thanks to my best friend)

In the past couple of days I went back and started replaying starcraft since I saw that they're remastering the game

I love Bullet Journals! They can become so beautiful over time. I was hoping to find a community of planners and Bullet journals here.

We seem to like a lot of the same things! <3 adding!

hey fellow Desert Rat! I live in AZ, too. Well--- i *USED* to work in childcare, so I've had my share of "work woes" myself. We have some interests in common. Have you played Kingdom Hearts on the PS2? Adding you. :)

<3 comics and reading. I post sporadically about what I read since I keep on getting distracted.
