[innocent_lexys]

Dear, Watchers!

First of all, I am here to let you know about the current Icon Fest going on at ic0nfest, if you haven't come across it yet.

Your Name: Kimberly, but a lot of people call me Kim. I don't have a preference, though!
Your Age: 26! Oldest one here! So far. :D But I act like I'm still a teenager.
Your Birthday: May 31st
Country/City you live in: Texas, USA
Fun Facts: Reading, music, and my family/friends are probably my top three favorite things in the world! Graphics, movies/TV shows, and internet things come next. I'm a little obsessed with names and how they sound together (especially old fashioned names, my favorite right now is Eleanor Violet), pretty words, taking pictures of just about everything, Keira Knightley, and pretty things.

And I'm all for textures of all sizes! Sometimes bigger textures are better and if I happen like it for an icon, I just resize. :)

Hey there, not so stranger! I knew your name, but I had no idea we were the same age. 26-year old Kims kick ass! :)

[innocent_lexys]

Wow, I have two kind, Kim's on my watcher list, who are 26 years old and they both claim to be a tad bit childish. Awesome! :-P

[library_of_sex]

We might be the same person! Ooooh, scary!!!!!!!!!!!

[capelle]

i just feel like filling this in xD In case you don't know something about me and i happen to mention in here or other watchers are as stalkerish as me and love to read other people's forms ;D

Your Name: Yulia (not Julia, although i'm fine with that if a person cannot pronounce my name corrently, which happens quite often :D), but i also go by Red Panda (or just Panda 'cause Red Panda is long to say xD), Cap (the short version for capelle) and i'm pretty much open to new nicknames xD
Your Age: 16. Yes, this young, but i felt even weider writing 13 3 years ago xD
Your Birthday: October, 19, 1994
Country/City you live in: Russia, Moscow.
Fun Facts: well first of all i want to move to either Bordeaux or San Fransisco. France is my spiritual home, and i've been there/here 8 times (this is the ninth time, since i'm in France atm). However, San Fransisco has been my city of dreams since i was about 8 years old, and i finally visited it 2 years ago, and i've wanted to come back ever since. So i'm torn between those two :D

[innocent_lexys]

I always liked the fact that your name is Yulia and not Julia, however I have no idea how the Russian pronounciation sounds like!

Yes, I was always very much surprised as to how young you actually are. I mean you are so talented and do not sound like a 16 year old at all! (Do not look like it either!)

I have never been to France as a tourist, the only time I set foot there was when we passed through it with a bus towards England, but I want to go to France barely, for several different reasons, one of them being I really want to visit Paris. ♥

I have never been to America and the long-ass plane trip frightens me into not even wanting to ever try to go there.

I know you are interested in law, but I never before asked you why is that? Why are you so taken with it? :)

Also... I can't ride a bike either and am scared of it.

[nokitas]

I think i can pronounce your name quite normally! Maybe i'm completely wrong..but never called you Julia!

I still can't believe that you are even younger then my brother but way more mature then what he is!!

Red Panda is so cute!! Why???

Never been to SanFran but i liked what i saw in Bordeaux when i stopped by on my way to Paris. =D

Your Name: Kristen
Your Age: 20
Your Birthday: June 17th
Country/City you live in: New York (not the city, just the state)
Fun Facts: I'm a History major, though I'm thinking of doing a double major with History and English once I transfer this fall; I'm focusing on British History. I just love learning in general, though, and I hope to go into the area of historical research and would like to become a proper historian. I'm also a big fan of music in general. I've done music journalism and it's one of my favorite hobbies because I could discuss music for hours. Unfortunately, I'm much better at appreciating music than I am at making it. I'm currently learning guitar and I'm atrocious, but I do sing.

[innocent_lexys]

I like your name, Kristen!

When I hear New York, I instantly think of the city, not the state, even knowing I was aware there was a state as well with that name.

History seems like a subject a lot of people like to study. :) What moved you to pursue History in uni?

You are surely a curious person, aren't you, Kristen? I think curiosity is a big factor in loving studying a lot.

Music journalism? That sounds so much fun and interesting. I know a person, Alina, whom is also very-very taken with music, you two would have so much fun together. Haha. :)

[i_luv_stanislav]

Thanks! I was originally going to be named the Cherokee Indian name for 'Hummingbird', so that would have been interesting, but I like Kristen just fine. ^_^

Yes, most people do. Whenever I go somewhere and say that I'm from NY, everyone thinks of the city.

Well, history is the one thing I've always been interested in since a very young age. I love so many subjects (and do well at many), but I knew history would be something that I'd never get sick of. That, and I love research and I think working for a museum/the government would be great. Originally, though, I was a history education major and thought I wanted to teach history on the high school level, but then I realized that teaching was not for me. Haha.

I definitely am; I was always one of those children that was forever asking their parents questions. Haha.

She sounds like she would be company! ^_^

Your Name: Sarah, or Beara, depending on who you are. I use both.
Your Age: 18!
Your Birthday: 8/9/93
Country/City you live in: Wisconsin, USA, about to move to Seattle, WA
Fun Facts: Going to uni in the fall for a major of Environmental Science. In love with the spanish language and Spain. Was in Spain for 8 months for senior year of high school. I like music, and dancing, and playing soccer, skiing, sailing and mountain climbing, driving fast, swinging in the park, and talking to my friends. :)

[innocent_lexys]

Sarah is a beautiful name. Where does Beara come from?

You sound like a person with lovely ambitions. It is nice. :) I love Spain as well, know very litte Spanish though, I have a relaxa Spanish course books and cd set though, it was the way I know the little Spanish I do today.

You seem to be an outdoorsy person. That is good for you. :)

[sstarlz]

Haha, thanks. Beara, well, it rhymes with my name, and when I was younger I used to carry a stuffed polar bear around with me all the time. Hence Sarah-Bear, Sarah-Beara, Sar-bear, or just Bear. Beara I started using when I first came on the internet to "protect my identity" or whatever, but now it's just a nickname that some on the internet still call me.

Haha, thanks. I LOVE Spanish, just the language, sounds so beautiful to me. I've been trying to learn German through podcasts. It's not working very well, haha.

I am indeed! It's nice. :)

[nokitas]

Hi,dear! (have yet to reply to your email!)
Wow,you sound like a naturally interesting person! Trully!

Your Name: Veronica
Your Age: 19
Your Birthday: Oct. 11 - 1991
Country/City you live in: Florida, USA
Fun Facts: I'm teaching myself art and photography, I'd say I'm just getting into intermediate level with photography and still in the beginning stages of art.
I love reading, everything that I find interesting. Mainly fantasy, fiction, historical & sci-fi.

[innocent_lexys]

Nice to know your name, Veronica.

I like art and photography myself. :) I do believe though that most of us, into PS and graphics are actually interested in the areas of Art. I have so many art tools and different kind of papers, I lost count. I like to sketch and sometimes just paint watercolours.

I love reading myself, mostly romances, spiritual books, and classics!
