My taste in anime (by order of preference!):
1 - Romance
2 - Slice of life
3 - Fantasy
4 - Drama
5 - Comedy
This is what I usually like... but I often like anime that doesn't really have these things. I guess my taste is changing! If you know any series you think might interest me... then give me recommendations please!
If you want to become my friend... I'll be more than glad to accept you! :D
My new and improved profile! :D
This is me...
Age: 20
Occupation: Student (1st year college student - Nursing School)
Personality: Friendly, Introvert, Honest (brutally) and Curious
Loves - Reading, writing, poetry, foreign languages, travelling, Anime, Fanfiction, Asian Dramas, London (it's the most awesome city in the world), photography, biology, cats, Ferrero Rocher chocolates and watermelons.
Hates - Smoking, Math, Chemistry, pineapples or kiwis (yuck!!!), shopping for clothes (even though I'm a girl), being approached by strangers while waiting for the bus, racism, discrimination, vain/conceited people, unambitious people, obsessive sports fans, loud and crowded places (bars are OK, but I hate clubbing).
Dreams, Hopes & Aspirations - Write a book, learn at least 2 more languages, get a cat, learn yoga, stop wearing glasses, learn how to design a website, stop biting my nails, go live in a foreign country (preferably English speaking) and, if there's enough time, find that special someone.
Random Stuff - At first glance I look like a friendly and outgoing person... but I'm actually really shy and often lack self-confidence; until 9th grade I was always labelled "teacher's pet" for being top of my class; I have only a few close friends, whose personalities are completely different from mine; I speak Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian and French; the countries I've visited are Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, England, Brazil and a few islands; my hero is my grandfather - an honorable fisherman and devoted family man [died November 29th 2007, victim of colon cancer, at age 71].
Favourite Movies: "The Constant Gardener", "White Oleander", "The English Patient", "Pan's Labyrinth".
Favourite Books:"Captains of the Sand" by Jorge Amado, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold, "Lolita" by Vladimit Nabokov (it is extremely well written).
------------------
I love and support the Lettuce couple in the korean show "We Got Married"! Joongbo forever!

Note: These ratings might be influenced by the dramas that I gave 5 stars to. I mean, those excelent dramas set the bar VERY high for all the others... and they end up paling in comparison. AND in the case of Korean dramas, some of them are VERY good comedies while others are VERY good tearjerkers.

My Anime/Drama music videos:
My "Brain Powerd" music video:
My music video from the "One Litre of Tears" movie:
somehow, i'm still left with a terrible feeling that i did/said something incredibly idiotic, irritating or offensive (if not all of the above).
{sighs}
some people in psychology argue that repression of undesirable memories is a healthy human response (while simultaneously being an unhealthy one...it's a bit convoluted). i hope this is not why you can't recall anything...
i finally figured out this spoiler tag thing, and applied it to my profile with reckless abandon. now i have a list of some of the movies i saw there.
I've still only watched the first episode! I havent had time this week to watch anything. Too much work (next week is my last week of classes so everything was due THIS week :x )
I plan on wachin more this weekend, and defenitely will post in the ADA thread when i do ^^
Well... my msn address is NOT my actual email. I never use hotmail anymore because it sucks. XD But I checked that and my email and got nothing from you on either, soo...
PM me your msn and I'll watch out for you next time I'm on there. I've been getting random people and spammers on MSN so I've been blocking people without a second thought.
lol yeah i was watching that one, and i finished it SOOO fast. like in 3 days!!! Now i'm watching Koukou Kyoushi, which seems to be a bit tragic, so I can't watch it as fast hahah. :)
Psssst! This little birdy told me that next week is motw #50 at last! I know you want Hello Schoolgirl for the 50th movie post, but have you picked your favorite of the other 49 we've posted so far?
ya its crazy how like almost all the kimitaku dramas are on the top 50 list. yay for fujiki naohito too <3 I know there are probably others that are really good to watch, but I dunno, i feel like using the top50 list as a rough guideline as things i should watch works out. It also helps give me motivation to watch stuff that ive had downlaoded for a while now... Like h2 [which i just finished, and it was so good! Yamada takayuki = so hot!!!]
I judge you because you are the self-proclaimed ROMANCE QUEEN of ADA... and MAL... and probably the world. =P Okay, maybe just of ADA.
Of that list I have not seen only #'s 1 & 5. I'll probably end up watching Love Revolution eventually... Not to interested in Itoshi Kimi e. Tragic medical romances are kinda BLEH.
I recommended Hotaru no Hikari to Kat too. Hopefully she'll watch it because it was awesome!
Oh, and about Antique: Unfortunately the only subbed version available is very poor quality (worse than streaming), but somehow I managed to watch it and it is a pretty good drama. Though the Korean movie is SO much better. Fujiki Naohito would have made an adorable "devilish gay" but they unfortunately took out the homosexuality and the drama was much more focused on the owner's plight and the boxer's quest to become a patisserie. I recommend it, just wish someone would do some new subs with DVD rips.
