[#087] Welcome new friends!
Thanks to the friending meme over here, I've gained a bunch of new friends! :D Welcome~ And to those who I already know, oh hay--how you doing? ♥♥
Stole this meme from maiamcw~
❦ Name you go by: Online, I go by Kamika! Which people tend to short to Kami~ My real name is Desiree Angelie (yes, two names~ it's a "thing" in my family. All 4 children have 2 names) and I typically go by Desiree. Angelie is reserved to family members/family friends. I really don't know why. lol
❦ Where you lurk (social sites, other journals, etc): twitter @tinyangl, tumblr @tinyangl and ofc, livejournal! No matter what, LJ is my first love~ Oh! My writing journal is here: kakimakuru although I haven't written anything decent in a while. I also use it as my reccing journal because I read a lot of fic. *____________* Good fic too~
❦ Birthday and signs: April 1st. Yes, April Fool's day. And yes, I am a fool~ no, i don't get that every year. >.> I'm an Aries (just like Yamapi!) and was born in the year of the rabbit.
❦ Religion: Born Catholic, but I don't really practice
❦ Sexuality/relationship status: Straight/Single
❦ School: Graduated college in 2010 (what, it's been that fucking long?) with a degree in English, Creative Writing.
❦ Favorites of television/books/games/anime/music: I watch a LOT of television--like so much that it's amazing I can fit everything else in my life in. And it's not just American, but also Japanese. This is a list of my top 10 J-dramas, but it is old by 2 years so things my have changed in the last couple of numbers. (Although the top 4 is DEFINITE! :D) As for American television, my scrapbook 2011 has a section on television I watch. (see, so many!) NCIS, HIMYM, TBBT, White Collar, CSI, Nikita, Warehouse 13 are just a few of the ones I still love. (some i just stick to *coughHOUSE&BONEScough*)
For books, I...haven't been reading as much lately, but authors whose books I usually read are Tamora Pierce and James Patterson (the first because I have loved her since I was a teenager and the second mainly because I like suspense thrillers and he has a LOT). And of course, I love Harry Potter. *__________* I haven't watched Anime lately, but my favorites are the old-time classics like Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura. ♥♥♥ And Digimon! :DDDD
And lastly, music... I love Johnny's to no end. ♥♥ That is why I'm still in fandom after all. But I also love Alexz Johnson! And other Japanese artists and sometimes American artists--but very rarely since I've stopped listening to the radio again. XD
❦ Tastes (foods, smells, colors, sounds): ...Wow, this is definitely not something I'm used to seeing in a meme. Um. Favorite food is pizza! *________* nnngh. I don't eat it as much lately though but WOULD LOVE MORE. I love food in general though, so I eat a lot. (Even though most people don't seem to believe it. >.>) Favorite color is any shade of blue. lolol
❦ Talents: Piano? I learnt how to play as a kid. And. ...I guess that's it? I don't have much.
❦ Quirky or strange habits? I...don't know? Dude, I'm running out of things to say.
❦ Languages (speak, learning, want to learn) and places you have visited/want to visit: Languages... I know sign language due to my siblings being deaf. Yes, out of 4 children, I'm the only one who can hear. Other than that, I understand filipino (both tagalog and ilokano) even though I can't speak it or differentiate which dialect it is. I wish I knew more Japanese but as it stands, my comprehension level is TOTALLY WEAK. ~_~;; But I get away with watching raw stuff all the time.
And places I've been to--Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles--and some surrounding cities, Philippines back in high school--but I barely remember it, JAPAN!!!! (only Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo though--and some of Narita since the last few days were there but we stayed in our hostel really). In January, I'm off to San Juan, Puerto Rico! :D There's also a trip to the Philippines planned for 2013 with my family. As well as a possible trip to Europe with my friends in 2014 (yes, we're planning early XD). And I totally want to go back to Japan again--you know, if I can afford it. T.T BUT I DO WANT TO GO BACK.
❦ Own any pets? Not really mine. Both my sisters have dogs though! :D They are the cutest ever. (SA's puppy Rico and AR's puppy Milo. Milo is totally fatter now. lol XD)
❦ Favorite animal - domesticated, wild or fictional: I blame Cyn for this, but turtles are absolutely adorable. :D In general, I usually like cats! It's just too bad I'm fucking allergic. you know, like Shige. XD
❦ Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I don't know, but hopefully I'll know more then? XD
❦ Favorite quote: For like 3 years, I had this quote as my voicemail message: "A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself." A.A.Milne
Other things to note that aren't mentioned in the meme: I live in New York~ My parents have a place in Rockland County which is right above New Jersey so I commute into the city all the time. I live with my parents, my grandmother, one of my older sisters (the eldest SA who is now 32--about to be 33 in Nov.), and my younger brother (JM who is 16--whatttt). My other older sister AR is 28 and currently lives with her ex-bf in Brooklyn, I believe. As I mentioned above, all my siblings are deaf--genetics, what can I say? I love my family but I do complain about them. It happens.
I talk about my friend C all the time. She is my best friend in the world and we also work together (hell, she got me my job--it's only part-time but better than nothing!). If it wasn't for her, I'm pretty sure I'd be a hermit right now. Or you know, for the past couple of years. lol
I lovelovelove JE which is my main fandom, and really the longest lasting one. Nobody captured my heart quite like boy idols did. ♥♥ My fandom history is as such: I was tracking Tsumabuki Satoshi (after i watched Orange Days which is THE BEST JDRAMA TO ME) and watched Lunch Queen, where an adorable Yamashita Tomohisa was in and captured my heart. That led me to Kurosagi where I discovered, what?! He sings the theme?! And through my google skills, found an mp3 of NEWS' I-ZA-NA-I-ZU-KI, which is still one of my favorite NEWS songs. And the rest was history. In hindsight, I'm surprised I wasn't Jun-baited because I watched the Hanadan dramas before I got into fandom, but i guess I was too enraptured in Hanazawa Rui (yay Oguri Shun!) to concentrate on Matsujun. XD
I have a bit of an obnoxious crush on Sakamoto Masayuki (V6) that I don't really know how it started, but I regret nothing. *______________*
Um. I don't know what else! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask~
