Please read the below before asking to be added. If you know me from somewhere else, let me know when you comment. I might not make the connection otherwise.

And here's a little about me that you might want to know before friending me:

1. I do talk a lot about fandom. My main fandom is currently Hetalia with a side helping of Doctor Who. You can check THIS POST HERE for my pairing/character preferences.

2. Speaking of fandom, I can understand disliking a character now and then, but I really dislike character bashing. If this is something you do often in your journal, we probably won't get along too well.

3. My posts vary from silly to serious, giddy to infuriated. I do greatly appreciate comments from time to time, but I am not demanding of them. I will always try to comment to your posts when I feel there's something I'd like to say, unless a real life issue has infringed upon my lj time (which does happen).

4. I am tolerant of the beliefs of others, but the posting of homophobic and of course racist sentiments fall under things that I will defriend you for.

5. I do love the lj-cut, so please make sure you're someone who uses it when it's needed. Some level of consideration for grammar and spelling is also very much appreciated.

If you're still interested in friending me, do comment here!

(My old friends only post was deleted by accident. Yeah, I have no idea how I did that. *laugh* Anyway, here's a new one.)

I mainly set this up because a friend asked us which doujinshi we were in search of for a gift, and I already had most of the list done anyway. This does not include ANY books from the upcoming comiket, just material that is already released.

Also these are not in any sort of order (they're by release date in a lot of cases, but that's it). So um, for future personal reference and I guess if we ever do trades (which we might if we get doubles or something)? Well and if there's ever another situation where it is your desire to gift us something.

It is slightly out of date, but here is our currently owned doujinshi post.

I'll update this post anytime we want to add something or anytime we need to remove something (because we acquired it).

Hey! abarero and I are setting up a low pressure twitter RP for Hetalia. I don't have it in me to run or participate in a full fledged RP, but I thought this would be a fun and easygoing alternative.

Accounts so far:
England @ BritanniaBeam
America @ Hero_Burger
Liechtenstein @ LiechtenHeart
Hungary @ MaidenHeart
Ukraine @ ScarfGiver
Poland @ TtlyWarsaw
Sealand @ FutureEmpire
Lithuania @ __Outsourcing

Spain @ BuenTomate
Norway @ NotMyBFFDanmark
Denmark @ Yndigt_Land
Russia @ Become_One
Greece @ SleepingCatsLie
Belgium @ Coeurdeurope

As with most twitter RPs, there's no real plot. Treat it as if it's a twitter account for the character, and post about their 'day,' links, chat with other characters, etc.

If you're interested, reply and let me know who you would like to be!

Last year I watched thirty movies and read thirty books (way below my goal). Let's see if I can beat that this year. I know it's not technically entertainment, but I'm also going to include the amount of words I've written this year- both original works and fanfiction. I'll have a tally for both put together and a tally for each one separately. I'm aiming for one hundred thousand words total, which actually seems pretty feasible. Last year I wrote a paltry 25,428, but I wrote all but about five thousand of that in the last two months of the year. I need write only a little over 8,000 words a month to meet this goal, so I'll be really let down with myself if I don't.

Serials are bolded once I've watched them. We're actually going to go back and start from the beginning once we finish the Sarah Jane and Four serials. Jennie has the Masque of Mandragora (VHS) on hold at her library, but we'll have to find the rest online since they don't have DVD releases (we've used netflix to watch everything so far).

This is totally nerdy of me and must be blamed 100% on abarero. IT WAS HER IDEA. Anyway- as alluded to in my previous post, I'm not sure why, but lately I've been exploding with Ron love. He has always been a favorite (if not the favorite), but Deathly Hallows just sealed the deal tenfold. He was such a wonderful, complex character in it. Yeah the book came out months ago, but the past couple days the love has randomly swelled. Who knows for what reason, but why not indulge it? So to celebrate all the love he deserves (and counter all the hate he gets!):

An Infinite Number of Reasons Why Weasley is Our King

Comment/Squee/Fangasm With:
-Any Ron scenes you particularly love (and why if you wish).
-Any things, no matter how silly or small, that you love about him.
-Favorite fics, fanart, etc. Moderation please, on this one. Fics and fanart should be used to elaborate on one of the above two. For example "I loved this scene in the book, and this piece of artwork just made me appreciate it more," or "This aspect of Ron that I love is really explored well in this fic."

Comments can be as gen or as shippy as you'd like. All ships are welcome but of course please be courteous. :)

You may reply to anyone's comments in order to squee, elaborate, agree, etc. In fact, I highly encourage this.

Enjoy and feel free to add this post to your memories! I know I will.

xposted- All xposts lead back to this post.

Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply you with the relationships -canon or not- from it I ship as well as my favorite characters. Just one comment for fandom so it won't get messy, as I'll link all threads in the main post and leave it public/link it in my userinfo. You can comment as many times as you want to, though. Don't have me friended and want to ask something? Go for it. The post is public and will remain open to all.

This is a blogcrew dedicated to claiming characters from all of Rumiko Takahashi's many works. A blogcrew is a 'crew' of fans made up of livejournal users. There's no actual involvement needed outside putting the code in your userinfo/somewhere else visible. As such, it's pretty much just for fun.

RULES:
1- You may claim two characters, but they can not be from the same series. For example, while you would be free to claim Kyoko from Maison Ikkoku and Miroku from InuYasha, you would not be able to claim Kyoko and Godai, both from Maison Ikkoku. If you don't know who you want as a second character, you're more than welcome to back at a later point and claim.

2- Any character is fine, no matter how major or minor. Only one person per character.

3- Anything written by Rumiko is fair game, no matter how well known or obscure. For freedom's sake, I'll also allow anything that she had heavy involvement in like Kidou Shinsengumi Moeyo Ken.

4- Rumic Theater/World refers to her short stories. If you're not sure where yours would go if you want someone from a short, that's fine. Just give us the name of the story/character and we'll make sure it's listed in the correct place.
