Brigit's Flame Introduction(to be edited as necessary)
(clicking the banner leads back to the community brigits_flame, which is a monthly writing contest.)
Take a seat, look around...we don't bite, well...unless you want us to(or you annoy us). And we're sorry there's not much to see on the outside. This is a personal journal, so a lot is locked. And as you can probably tell...we really really like front-posts. ;)
There's assorted desserts and assorted snacks on that table over there.*there's a flourished hand indicating a long coffee table by the window* There's tea and coffee and hot chocolate in the marked thermoses by the cups. And there's plenty of seats around. So... you want to know who I am? Well... I'm the Dreamwriter...the Storyteller. And I believe stories are just as real as a child feels they are. You never know, you know... Somewhere...those people you read in stories, they might well be real. Have you ever wondered...what it might be like? Empathy is a very strange thing. I empathize with a lot of the characters in my stories and those of others...and strangely enough, a lot of them are real people. Up here, at least. *taps the side of her head* But you'll understand that a lot more later.

Meaning behind the LJ Name: Well, first of all, I love Brighid both in Saint and Goddess form. Many of the qualities of Brighid I feel I have--creativity, idealism, a love of service, a love of home, scholarship, and a love of animals. I'm also an eclectic Christo-Pagan(born and initiated Catholic, but I pick and choose what I believe in), so lady is a term of respect. The 4 3s were originally a typo(I meant to write a triple 3 as another reference to the Goddess Brighid), but now I just say it's for balance...because 3 is an odd number and 4 an even one. I've grown attached to the name. XD
The random kind-of interesting facts:
1. I'm a soulbond/soulbonder(we use the terms interchangeably here). There's roughly 12(or 15) here at the moment including myself, as we've had one shift recently. The 15 depends on if you count the two outsources who have multiple personalities themselves. ._. It gets kinda crazy and most of the time we really AREN'T sure how or where we'd put ourselves on the singlet-multiple spectrum, but soulbond has always been how we describe it since last summer. It fits best. There's dolls in the left sidebar with a very short description... It used to be our blinkies...but now we've got too many outsources who would be reaaaaaaaally odd to get blinkies of, so we've each chosen a 'representative' doll or located a character GIF from random sites.
2. I switch very often between first and third-personal, like in #1 because sometimes it feels more right. ...I forget what one I'm using sometimes.... So sometimes I will literally use "we" but most of the time I use "I". ._. I will try to correct myself, but feel very free to say "pronoun change" in the comments if I do it when I'm rushing or in an incredibly bad mood.
3. Jokingly, I call myself the Real-Life Mary Sue...if only because more than half my life now that I look back on it seems to be every single livejournal stereotype rolled in a ball. It even freaks ME out. ._.
4. It'll be me...Emmy writing here mainly...though some people might get to see the blendiness if you squint, or are really observant. ._. It happens a lot at random and depends on what I've been doing all day, as well as what the topic is. -_-;
5. We're happy to have new friends, but it must be understood that we're VERY touchy about some subjects and we'll let you know rather bluntly if you make us uncomfortable. We don't talk about a lot of interesting things(journal is primarily schedule stuff, whining, school stuff, family/boyfriend rants, roleplaying stuff and mental health stuff, occasionally we'll link fiction. Also random memes....), and I don't comment a lot--only when I feel like it, and sometimes all I can say is "*hugs?*"
6. 2 different end of the world scenarios and what we'd do, depending on who you ask:
a. Zombies - run, kill it(with either a knife or a bullet), or love it and make it into a pet and hope it evolves into a vampire-zombie(seriously...don't ask how that works, this is an inside joke with cloak_of_white).
b. Heartless - fight, run, and hope to escape the destruction alive or accept the darkness.
7. Rather obviously, I use a lot of emoticons and ellipses.
And now, that short form was rather long. Now, if you're still reading, you deserve a lie, a.k.a. e-cake. :)
And no, I'm not done yet.
no... I'm not a /b/tard or anything. :) I am an anime geek... >>; and I've watched people play Portal. >>; I'm a little obsessed by the credit music. I make fandom FSTs. My journal is primarily friendslocked. :)
If you want more stuff to read that to one extent or another is "about me", check out the ethics tag. I'll be adding more ethics posts as I get around to it. :) They're always public, along with most fanfic. Tags are in the left sidebar...I'll be going through shredding and adding tags later too. ^^
This summer I'm crazy. :)
I'm writing for summerwrite through August(on two different fanfics), I'm studying Japanese for linguathon for the month of July, I'm doing two claims in drabbleday in collaboration with the summerwrite stuff, and I'm also here for brigits_flame for at least July.
And because I'm personally fond of memes and interactivity, how about the ask me anything meme?
Comment here and ask me any 3 questions and i'll answer them to the best of my ability. This'll be a no-hold-bars meme. But at least try to keep it worksafe.
Thank you for sticking around with me for this entry.
