5 Things About Me?
Comment to this post and I will (try to) give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
strangevisitor7 gave me these:
1) Fanfiction Reader - I am a total fanfiction nut. I LOVE it. I discovered fanfiction in college on accident when looking up a bet over a Star Trek: Voyager episode. That was the first fandom I read in, but at the time Jr. and Sr. year in college were more fun and exciting than the then current fics in that area, so I only read them now and again. But when I moved into Grad school and left my old friends behind, I started spending more time online and discovered new fandoms, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harry Potter. This led to my total devotion to fanfic. I was reading it all the time and always searching for new sites and authors. This then led me to discover deviantArt because a few fics had pics to go with them, and man do I LOVE deviantArt, I have my own page/username there now where I upload tons of my photos and art. A few friends from there and myspace also recommended I try Livejournal, and since there were quite a few of my fave fanfic authors writing on lj, I was all for signing up too. So, that's how I got into things here, and as I've been reading here and chatting new friends it has gotten me into trying to write my own fanfics.
2) Memes - I love memes because they let me post without having to come up with a booty load of original thought, lol. Plus a lot of them are just fun and it's cool to compare your answers to other people's answers. I also like using them to help me cross post at myspace and deviantArt, so my friends there don't think I died.
3) Magnificent Seven - I watched the TV show when it originally came on with my moms and we fell in love with all the guys (Ezra and Vin are our faves), but as usual a good show got canceled and that was that. I forgot all about the show until years and years later I rediscovered it through fanfiction. That was not quite a year ago (I think) and I have been DEVOURING it since. I think I read a crossover fic with Buffy, and went "what? mag7? oh heck yeah!" and started searching for good fic sites. Found blackraptor and was in heaven! I have read every Ezra centric fic at both blackraptor sites and am starting on the all-ezra site next. Plus having to go back and read the new entries, which makes me so happy! There are a ton of really excellent stories and AU's in this fandom, and some super talented writers (quite a few on my f-list, luv). There are some I'd love to see get off the WIP list though, lol. It has wondered up there into my top 3 loves (with Buffy and HP fandoms).
4) Artist - I love art. I have always loved art, and I doodle on everything. I love to draw, color, paint, collage, photomanip, and recently write! I have a deviantArt site where I upload most of my stuff (look up tapena). I just got a WACOM tablet from my parents for my x-mas pressie from santa, so I have been learning how to use my computer to draw and paint - I LOVE it!!! I downloaded the free photoshop like program called GIMP and use it to create digital art and it is so freaking awesome. I drew some fairy art for my mom for her b-day, cause she loves fairies, and am currently using my tablet and GIMP to paint them on the computer to get colors and ideas right, then I will paint them in real life. Her b-day is the 24th, arg! I better get hopping.
5) Icons of You - LOL, yeah. When I started lj I didn't even know what icons were really, so I just uploaded a few pics of me. As I started reading posts and comments the idea of what they are started to slowly kick in, but by that time I had already gotten kind of attached to the ones I had, so I started to try and create a few to have different moods of me! I have others too, but my mood icons are all of me. And this reminds me that I created a new set of me icons! I have to go to my home computer to upload them though, maybe this weekend. But this way every stalker now knows what I look like (if I had stalkers, which I don't).
