Predominantly English-speaking bands, with a little instrumental and Japanese thrown in there. If my taste in music makes me sound like a hipster, then... I'm sorry? Lol. While I am SUPER picky about what music I like, I really don't care if a band/artist is "super popular" or not, just as long as it sounds good to me.
Um... I don't really watch that much TV anymore, so nothing to list in that category.
Random OTPs:
Roxas/Xion (Kingdom Hearts) <-- this is my number one forever and ever.
Minato/Aigis (Persona 3)
Minako/Ryoji (Persona 3 Portable)
Lelouch/Shirley (Code Geass)
Red/Yellow (Pokemon Special)
Green/Blue (Pokemon Special)
I don't really ship that much, but some pairings I simply adore. ♥
Favorite/Least Favorite Color: Blue/Purple
Favorite/Least Favorite Weather: Rainy/Sunny
Favorite/Least Favorite Food: Fruit/Squash
Favorite/Least Favorite Holiday: Christmas/Halloween (I have had mostly bad experiences with Halloween)
Hobbies: Writing sub-par, drawing badly, sewing awfully, cooking deathly concoctions, and being overall useless at everything! I also like to play with CSS coding once in a while.
I'm currently a first-year college student trying to major in Japanese, and minor in i-have-no-idea-what right now. I absolutely adore hats and other head/hair accessories; I also strictly wear only skirts/shorts and leggings/tights most of the time because I find pants too restrictive. I'm a little picky about what kind of headphones I use, as well as about music quality (if it's below 320 kbps and/or not VBR, then forget it).
I'm actually a pretty shy person in real life and I don't talk much. :x Rest assured that I always read all my friends' entries, even if I don't comment often.
In this journal, I will probably talk most about school/college, random obsessions I have, music, video games, and people/stuff I hate, along with a dash of politics and heartbroken ramblings every once in a while. Okay, the latter might be more common.
If you can put up with my constant whining and fangirling over stuff and general oddballness, then I think we'll become good friends over time. You can call me either Riyuu or Rii, I'm fine with both. Once we've been acquainted, feel free to head over to my contact info post. It's a pleasure to meet you! c:
