Finishing that thought...

1. About the new glasses. I have two new pairs because there was this 2x1 offer: one red/orange, one blue/lime green. They're both trendier than my old pair, which is now for home so I don't wear myself while I spend +10 hours a day in front of screens (eh, oops?). I wore the reddish ones to uni today. They hurt me behind my ears.

2. About the teeth. I feel uncomfortable. I have this strange breath. I think I swallowed glue or whatever they used to fix the bridge, because I feel a lump in my throat.

3. About the MP3 player. It works. It's black with white and gray, and has 2GB of space, and it's realy normal with a rectangular text-only screen. I feel sorry for Alphonse, my old player, but the kid was only 512MB and its UI was hell!

I called it Watanuki :3

4. About classes. I'm gonna HATE OS2. I just know it. It's all about Unix and its file system. And again, labs will be in C. DO NOT WANT.

But enough about personal life. Hi to the people from Fandom Secrets ^^ I should probably introduce myself better than this, but here's a short version for you and any old LJfriend who still doesn't know me that much:

My nick is Kirisame (or any variation, like Kiri), and my real name is Christel. I'm 25, female, I suppose I'm straight until proven otherwise. I was born in Venezuela, where I lived most of my life until we moved to Spain. So yeah, the two human languages I'm fluent at are Spanish and English. No, I can't speak Gallego even if I live in Galicia and I don't really feel like learning.

I studied Computer Science for 3 years in Caracas until I came here. So now I'm stuck, finishing my studies in the closest career I could afford with my credits at the local university (which is a tech career on management IT, whatever that is). I'm sick of that shit, because all I want to be is a web designer/developer and this uni sucks so I want out, but I can't have my higher education to go to waste and my family would kill me.

I have two brothers, they're fourteen right now (twins, non-identical), and live with my mom. Sometimes I bring them out on posts. They're more gamers than I am, and also WoWtards.

My sun sign is Gemini, Pisces is my rising and I have a strong Mercury, and also I'm a Water Dog. According to most sources, I'm a Fig in Celtic trees. I normally get INTP on personality tests, although I'm more emotional than you'd think. I think I'd be sorted to Ravenclaw (and I have been... online), but I could probably do a great job as a rude, cynical Hufflepuff.

So, my hobby is fansite building, even if I'm sporadic at it. I have three domains: the manganime one, the random/personal/non-anime one, and that almost dead XXXHOLiC fansite. I'm also one of those kids who are into fanlistings.

The other journals I have active, in case you want to check either of them:

icondork: shared icon journal. I am an iconmaker, but it's been so long since I last made a batch I'm starting to doubt it. *kicks lack of motivation*

kitsune_epics: fic journal. It's mostly gen and the ships I like, though. And most of it is CLAMP.

taotrooper: ...er. The videogame Okami made strange things to my brain, so to preserve my friends' sanity, my rants and crack and game progress go there.

strawberrysamba: sharing shit journal. Where I upload stuff of dubious legality to pimp my fandoms. Entries are flocked, although there's not a lot there now.

Other than that... most of my fandom loves are on my profile, interests, and userpicks. I'm shy to comment on real-life entries and usually can't say anything useful, so I apologize beforehand. Please don't bash the characters and pairings I DO love in my posts, because I try not to do it when you like the Fay flashbacks stuff I'm not fond of. Also, I like minor characters a lot, so saying someone I'm into is useless or filler (even if you have a point) annoys the crap out of me.

I'm not cutesy, I'm usually honest. Yet, I don't feel like I'm a disgusting wanker who hates everything and blond magicians who ride the angstbulance. I'm shy and awkward so I normally appear rude and cold with new people or toward comments clashing with my logic, but I do try to be nice. I'm not the kind of girl who posts all-capslock with sparkly text with sexual innuendos, so I might be boring.

I don't believe in yaoi/yuri or het: I ship regardless of gender and sometimes even species, as long as I like their dynamics enough (with few exceptions). [I know most ships on my profile are canon het, but I'm not limited to that. Me being a nasty canon nazi who oppresses altshippers of the Touya/vagina variety is a wrong assumption, even if I've been lucky enough to have lots of my pairings justified by canon.]

Aaaaaand that's too much about me. Nice to meet you? O_o I hope I didn't scare anyone.

ETA: .....Fuck, in the end it was anything but short! D:

:D You didn't scare me, since that's more or less how I operate too.

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

Hey, my favorite characters often end up being secondary, if not minor, so I'm with you there.

I DO tend to capslock, however, but that's just because I'm loud in person.

And I meant to ask this before, but please say that your canon het extends to Lina/Gourry, Zel/Amelia. Oh pleeeease.

And if it doesn't that's okay! But those were rallying cries in my old Slayers days!

[zethel.livejournal.com]

pues en realidad me parece muy interesante, tenemos bastantes cosas en común y por lo que leí, eres el tipo de personas q me agrada, honesta.

Also, añadiendo tu journal de Ôkami a mis friends ;D
----------
what model is Alphonse? I'm stuck with a 1Gb Sony mp3 player with the worst UI ever, I'm thinking about switching for a 2gb Samsung, but I'm not enterely sure yet >_O

[river-nile.livejournal.com]

Oh-oh-oh! I named my mp3 player too! But it died D: So, I got a mp3 phone, and called it Zuko (... It has a ZukoxJet hate!smex wallpaper and screensaver... My phone isn't work safe). :D

ALSO. Random, but Kiri means 'Left' in Malay. O:

[telrunya.livejournal.com]

Y me parece interesante que hasta ahora me vengo dando cuenta que en muchos aspectos de tu personalidad, eres muy similar al personaje que roleo más y, curiosamente, es el que me gusta más.

Also you know I like you and if you didn't know, hey, I like you. ♥

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Oh good ^^

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I'm too loud in person, but I save capslocks for special occasions and emphasis. Otherwise it becomes cheap.

My Slayers shipping preferences (http://community.livejournal.com/icondork/10460.html), let me show them (http://community.livejournal.com/icondork/10623.html). ♥

Hahaha, I've heard of the old shipping wanks on Slayers XD I get the feeling I'd end up rolling my eyes at fellow shippers and the other band equally, kind of like current Avatar fandom does to their fans, but it must've been some epic shit.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

It was a cheap European brand, not one of the good famous ones. Actually, Watanuki also IS a cheap European brand (it was 26 euros, around thirty-something USdollars). I guess I'm not ready to succumb to Apple's brainwashing -iPods are awfully expensive in euros!-, even if it's probably easier to use and I wanted a green Nano and call it Issun.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I name practically ALL my electronic devices. I believe names have power, and if you choose the wrong one it might malfunction. It happened to me once. If I named something Zuko, I'd be expecting it to do dodgy things on its own >.>;

Then again, I blame one of my fandoms for this. So don't mind me.

I forgot

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Kiri means 'Left' in Malay. O:

That's cool XD Too bad I'm right-handed. In my nickname (Japanese), it means mist, and all together it means drizzle.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Like you too ^^ Y perdón por lo de ayer, que ya estaba de los nervios y el shading me puso peor aún.

[zethel.livejournal.com]

Issun! ♥

I used to have an iPod mini, but I got bored of iTunes and decided to give it to my sister, after that I got the sony, and to tell the truth, it was the worst buy ever, I'm losing my mind D<

It's nice you have your own brands over there, here all we have is Sonys, Samsungs, Panasonics and iPods. The cheapest model is 75 dollars and with a UI's possessed by the devil himself.

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

Hmm...good trait. I'm just kind of a spazz so I tend to emphasize the crap out of even the most mundane things. :F

YAAAAAY! I was hoping so! Lina/Gourry is what got me into the show, but the longest Slayers story I ever wrote was all about Zel/Amelia. And I love them all still.

Oh it WAS some epic shit, let me tell you. We were outnumbered, and the enemy was all around us! There was no LJ then so we huddled together on messageboards and MLs, biding our time and lashing out when one of the infidels got too close, occasionally making really inflamatory websites that more or less asked "HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN WATCHING THE SAME SHOW YOU FUCKWADS?!" It was an intense time. I still have the scars!

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

LOL! ...You really were outnumbered? :O Because you know, I kind of saw Lina/Gourry since episode frigging one, and I while it was a nice shock to see it canon, I never expected people denying it. Then again, I still knew shit about fandoms. After getting into Cardcaptor Sakura and seeing what was popular on the Internet, Lina/Zel still made more sense than that one (scary, but true).
