(rock is dead) long live paper and scissors

Name: Chreezy

Age: Twenty

Location: Jakarta, Indonesia

About Me: I can't live without my computer and internet connection. I'm a Graphic Design major, but my passion lives for many things: I like reading, writing, designing websites, making graphics, (but strangely enough, I never think that drawing is one of my main hobbies. :p) and most of all, daydreaming. I'm also a quiet person in real life, since I prefer listening and watching people rather than talking about myself. I despise public speaking so much. I compensate by writing, I guess.

About My Journal: It's not my first LJ account. I have another one for years, for fandom purposes and it's under my alter ego persona. However, this account under 'chreezy' is the real me, though I'm still keeping my real name a secret. :p There will also be graphics in my LJ, not just writing. There won't be any fandom icons, though, just stocks or text icons. Xp

What I Write: My favorite genre is fantasy, though more like Neil Gaiman's than stuff like The Lord of the Rings. I also like writing drama, but usually with a slight touch of adventure and plot twists thrown in too. I never write pure drama. Xp I treasure unpredictable endings, both in what I write and read. :p

What I Don’t Write: There won't be any fanfic in said LJ account, since I save it for my other account. I'm also weak at poetries and sort.

What I Read: Pretty much everything that interests me. If a novel or short story has something that catches my attention, whether it's the quirky character(s) or misterious plot or unique subject or a gripping morality debate, I'll read it. I also like smart writing, to be able to learn (a few writing tricks or whatever) or get something from what I read is golden. :p I'm not judgemental, I really don't.

What I Don’t Read: Horror, probably. But I tend to stay away from stories that makes my eyes hurt even when I just take a glimpse at its page (meaning: no capital letters whatsoever in the whole page, etc etc).

Favourite Authors and Books: Harry Potter series, titles by Neil Gaiman, some of Ken Follet's stuff (The Third Twin's my favorite), George Orwell's 1984, John Grisham's The Partner, The Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud, Jeffrey Deaver's The Blue Nowhere, and Meg Cabot's stuff.

Could I Edit Someone Else’s Work: No, I don't think I can. In my opinion, my English is pretty decent for casual purposes, but not for something more formal.

What I’m Looking For: Someone who shares an insane passion in words and writing like I do. (I'm obsessed with paragraph breaks as well as capital letters matter and a lot of times sometimes, the debate whether to put commas here or there or without.)
 What I’m Not Looking For: Someone who expects me to be there (posting, commenting) 24/7, and defriend me when I don't do that.
