SEMI-FRIENDS ONLY
I actually never bothered with this before, but since I'm slowly becoming more active in communities after the x amount of years I've had an account, I decided what the heck. However, first off, the banner is not telling the whole truth - this LJ is semi-friends only (I suck at making graphics and I liked this one). Approximately 42% of the stuff I post is public - they're generally limited to recipes ('cause I enjoy cooking and baking), lyrics translations (in order to practice my Chinese because I need it), and relatively random material that I decided weren't harmful if they were made public. The other 58% is dedicated to my rather boring life, rants, and my random thought process. Most of it revolves around school and will do so for the next two months - then I'll have graduated. I'm officially a college graduate, so scratch that about school. ^^ Well, until I start grad school... I also love having pictures accompanying words so you'll see a lot of those as well.
Anyway, to the point... I'm always up to meeting new people so if you're still bored enough and reading this...
I follow several fandoms. However, I don't post a lot about it, besides the occasional fangirl!spazzing. On the other hand, I do check my f-list almost religiously and I comment just as much. So here are the basics and you can just do what you will from there:
The FANDOMS I follow include: Harry Potter (primary), Death Note, Alex Rider, Darren Shan, Twilight (don't say anything), and I've recently gotten into fanfics based on real people. The main one being Super Junior. ^^
I love watching Asian dramas from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan as well as movies from those areas. I also listen to music from that region of the world. In fact, I have absolutely no clue what's going on in American entertainment. I also play the violin and piano, but it's been years since I've done it regularly. On occasion, I've been known to acquire sheet music and play something, though.
I enjoy researching about controversial topics for fun and I love animals and insects of all sorts [except for ants and mosquitoes]. Learning new languages is a constant goal of mine - I'm currently learning Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and they're all work-in-progress.
I also love playing PC games, including Age of Empires and the Sims. At one point, I have also played World of Warcraft and Starcraft at an almost obsessive level. I decided to stop if I wanted to survive college. ^^
I adore food and I do cook on a regular basis. In fact, it's one of the things I do when I need a break from that which is school. Now, I just like doing it just because.
If I had the money and the time, I would randomly travel the world and I wouldn't be adverse to constantly moving from country to country; I get bored too easily, sometimes.
I really don't know what else to say so really, if you have questions, feel free to ask. I'm a fairly amiable person.
I used to write Harry Potter fanfiction, but due to several reasons that include, but are not limited to: (1) the fact that ever since I came back from studying abroad, my English abilities have taken a steep nosedive and (2) I don't seem to have the motivation to keep up with it.
Edit: I've recently begun to step foot back into the world of writing fanfiction, but with SuJu. It's a tentative and slow process.
If you're still reading this, feel free to comment and there's a 99.7% chance that I shall comment back and there may even be some friending action going on. However, be warned: because I treat my friends-only posts as a personal, albeit online, journal, I won't censor my true thoughts for your sensibilities so approach with an open mind. My mind also tends to skip around a lot and the way I write is a bit wordy at times. That being said, welcome!
As for a random, but all too true, banner~
Except the "don't take me seriously" part. I'm not typing this up just for my own amusement even though I am bored and this is better than homework. I am, however, notorious for procrastinating - but I'm also amazingly good at it because everything's still done on time, no matter what. ^^
If you're my LJ-friend, then here are the more detailed (and random) basics of mine.

NOTICEAs of February 2011, this LJ will be dedicated to my fangirling because I have another blog for my adventures (and misadventures) whilst teaching English in Korea. In other words, this LJ will be dead for the most part other than occasional lyric translations and perhaps more personal posts. I will attempt to repost or at least provide the link to the Korea posts regarding fangirling and relevant posts because, well, I'm in Korea. ^^ Otherwise, I'll be lurking and browsing through my friends' list when I've the time.
For those interested, HERE IS MY KOREA BLOG hosted on Wordpress.
