*waves*
Well, hello, everyone. :-)
Let me introduce myself. I'm IrishVampire13. Those I know well call me Irish. Some of you have seen me around; some of you haven't. Either way, nice to meet you.
Shall I tell you a bit about me? Well, naturally, what I'd say depends on what you'd want to know, and I'm afraid I'm no mindreader. So let's go for the basics...
Who: Heh, I guess we've covered that part, ey?
What: Female. Pisces. Pacifist. Half Irish (hence the screen name). Pro-Life. Straight chick for gay rights. Atheist. Writer. Daydreamer. Voracious reader. Confirmed bachelorette. Geek/nerd/fangirl. Devoted daughter. Proud cat-mommy. Survivor of depression, a pseudoabusive relationship, and two toxic "friendships".
When: Now, apparently. ^.^ Or later. Or never. Or always. Depends on what the question is. (If your question is about my date of birth, that's on my profile.)
Where: Somewhere in California. Believe it or not, there is such a thing as a native Californian; my family's been living here since after the Civil War.
Why: Why not?
How: Pretty easily, really.
Right. Now that we've gotten that out of the way--or am I just distracting you so you'll lose track of the conversation? You never know. ;-D I'm tricky.
Friending Policy:
You can friend me, if you like. I don't mind. But I'm pretty cautious over whom I'll add. If you find that I haven't friended you back after a week's passed, then I'm sorry, but you're not going to be added. Please don't take it personally. I'm not one who trusts easily. People have been...unkind. Treacherous. I am a natural target for the cruel, the jealous, and the spiteful. I'm only protecting myself.
Defriending Policy:
If you defriend me, please don't waste time explaining why you're doing so. I'm overly sensitive, and am apt to brood, so please be kind and spare me all of that.
I reserve the right to defriend people with or without notice, as I see fit. Betray me in any way, and you're out. Hurt those I care for, and you're out. Act like an asshole, and you're out. If--if--you've given me reason to be highly upset with you, then you'll be in for a tongue-lashing, and I can do those quite well. If it's something minor, then I won't bother giving notice. Why hurt feelings, when my own aren't hurt?
It's that simple: Be nice to me, and I'll be nice to you. Do otherwise, and there'll be Hell to pay. Fair enough, you'll agree. Under most circumstances, I'm something of a unicorn. Anger me, though, and I'm a dragon. I don't believe in forgiveness or second chances.
All that said, I'm a very nice person. Sweet, loyal, willing to do what I can for those who mean something to me. I'm a great friend to have. Which means that you don't want me for an enemy. I'm a firm believer in the notion of Karmic justice. So let's all be nice to each other, and do our best to get along. We'll all be happier that way.
Other Details:
I like to have fun. I have a great sense of humor. It makes me happy to make others laugh, or to entertain them. If a friend is down, I like to try to pick them up in any way I can. It gives me a nice case of the warm-fuzzies to make my friends and loved ones happy.
I love writing for people. Prompts and challenges make my day. You'll be seeing a lot of fic memes around here, along with entries I write for challenges and contests. I'll even offer presents of stories to people I'm close to. Basically, I'll take just about any excuse to push my own creativity as far as I can. That sometimes ends up with me overwhelming myself, as I've found that I work well under a lot of pressure. But this is a method that works for me, so I'm not going to give it up.
I'm passionate about learning. History, the arts, science (especially astronomy), they all fascinate me. If I'm not plunked down with a book, or watching a documentary, then I'm scouring Wikipedia and other websites for new information.
I hate debates of any sort. I don't like getting into long arguments. They give me terrible stress. If we disagree on something, agree to disagree, and move on with life. It's too short for debates, anyway. Not everything is worth arguing about.
So. There you have it. Irish in a nutshell. Frankly, I'm a tougher nut to crack than all this. But you'll find I'm worth it, if you stick to it. I like to think I'm a good person. Anyway, I do my best to be.
See ya 'round! :-D
