Things you didn't want to know about me~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are the goods on moi. I'm a 26yr old professional woman. I enjoy my job but I'm quite certain I could love another all the more. I've been in and out of college and universities ever since I've graduated high school, and I doubt I'll ever be finished with college. I'm not a fan of the academic environment yet I love learning new things, so I teach myself instead. I'm currently an accountant/network administrator working for my father. I've been working for him for the past 8 years and I have single handedly increased his business profits and output by at least 50% =~_^=. I guess my skills in networking and business economics has been quite a boon. Since I work in accounting I'm pretty much a zombie between the last half of February and the first half of April.
My family is a typical American family. I have 2 younger brothers and my parents are still married. Both my brothers are near my age...one being 11 months younger and the other 4 years younger. They do like anime...but not as much as I do. They actually prefer to watch it on TV in dubbed format; nothing wrong with their choice of media, except they miss out on so much in my opinion. They also prefer the longer series like Naruto and DBZ over the shorter ones that I like.
My first contact with anime was over 10 years ago now. My middle brother came home after visiting some back alley video store and rented the full VHS box set of Neon Genesis Evangelion. After watching that series to completion I was astounded by how complex the story seemed to me at the time compared to the cartoons I'd seen beforehand. Because of that I was literally hooked on anime and did my best to watch what I could from then on...with little success.
It's only been the past 4 years that I've really gotten heavily into the anime scene. I figured out how to work torrents and ever since then it seems as though my computer is always downloading at least something. Because of this little habit I've had to invest in large amounts of storage space, namely HDDs, which I keep attached to my computer at all times to allow me access to my anime at all times =^_^=.
I currently live in an apartment away from my family. I love them dearly...but you can only handle them for so long before they start to get on your nerves. I live meagerly…yet compared to my peers I live quite extravagantly; knowing how to budget is a big help. Big cushy leather sofas are so wonderful!
The love of my life is my cat Ginger =^_^=. I adore her so much that she’s spoiled rotten. She’s the kind of kitty that loves being loved. She is always purring and always asking for attention, which I gladly give her. When I’m at my desk she’s sleeping on it as I play on my computer. When I’m in bed…she’s laying on my bed or me....which ever suits her desires at the time. She really is adorable…waiting anxiously by the door for me to come home from work meowing her contentment when she sees me =D.
Some simple likes and dislikes of mine are this. I dislike stupid people as well as people who aren’t willing to give it a shot and instantly rely on someone else to do all the work. I’m more than happy to help pretty much anyone as long as they’re willing to help me help them =^_^=. Other than that I’m pretty easy going and I like most things. I’m always willing to try something at least once.

My obsessions~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love anime, mostly I love stories. An anime is a great media to get across a story. I really don’t discriminate between anime though. I like a large variety and I’m always willing to sample something if I haven’t tried it before. That said I’m just as easy going with my choice in anime as I am in most other things in life.
One major aspect that I do dislike about some anime is the length. Now I’m sure some series out there that go over 50 episodes are really great. I personally find following a story for that length of time a waste of my time. So most anything under 50 episodes is what I like to focus on.
When it comes to choosing what I want to watch at a particular time…it isn’t about how popular the show is, or how much of a fan I am of the producers/seiyu/etc. It is all about my mood. My mood solely dictates whether a drama, comedy, romance, or action anime will be my selection. That way I feel as though I can be more involved in the story as I experience it.
For me, I like to come away from a story/anime with something new. I like to learn something from the story…some moral or belief. The character relations that are built up during the course of the story feed this desire of mine which is probably why I love anime so very much. And yes, I do love happy endings =^_^=.
Now I’m sure you’re quite curious as to how I rate an anime. I like to think I’m fair in my ratings. I also know that I do tend to shy away from something that I just get the feeling I won’t like…thus I tend to like most of what I watch.
1-5 is a rating I’ll rarely give to something. I don’t spend my time watching something I don’t like. If there’s too much unwarranted violence or sex or something like that I’ll just turn of the anime and move on to something else. What I do have that is listed in this range is few and far between.
A 6 rating isn’t bad. It’s a series I watched all the way through and I enjoyed it that one time and I doubt that I’ll enjoy it again. I won’t recommend this to people, but I’ll be happy to share my thoughts on it if people ask. Usually a series with a rank of 6 is quite forgettable to me though.
A 7 is my default score. All anime I watch start off with a rank of 7. These stories aren’t necessarily memorable nor were they terrible though. I enjoyed them at the time and if at some point in time I forget too much about the story I may watch it again…but that’s a super rarity.
An 8 is a series I liked. It invoked some emotion in me and at times had me quite involved in the choices the characters made. A series that ranks an 8 is what a series, in my mind, should be. I’ll remember these series for quite sometime before I’ll end up forgetting. These series I’ll end up re-watching a few times.
A 9 is a great series. In anime that rank 9 I was really involved with the story. I’ll tell everyone I can about it and usually end up either buying copies on DVD or giving them copies of what I have if it isn’t released yet. I also usually have quite a folder on my HDD full of wallpapers and pictures for me to just gaze at. Series with a rank 9 is what I really want to see. I’ll definitely end up watching these series if I’m tired of watching new series.
A rank of 10 is perfect, utterly perfect. The anime had great music and art and story. I wouldn’t be able to find a flaw even if you tried to force me to find one. I’m just too biased toward an anime with a 10 that I’ll look favorably upon it no matter what is said. These are the rare shows that really get me high on my emotions. I’ve cried during the show…I’ve felt the pain in my heart as I empathize with the character. A series with a 10 is a series I treasure dearly and will do my best to support the creators of this series as best I can with my money. It’s these series that I’ll randomly pick up and watch again just because I want to. There would be no other reason that I need in order to watch it again other than the desire to enjoy something so fantastic.
"I won't accept random friend invites, please get to know me first."
I guess this line also applies to club invitations ^^ Hmm.. well we need members first before having any activities. Without the mass recruitment, it'll take so much time before reaching a number worthy of an activity.
The truth is, I'm still thinking for activities. I've been into other clubs observing what a "real activity" is.
Oh yeah, about the essence of the club. I made it because Makoto lacks the love from people. Shiori even beat her at some points. Well, as a Makoto devoted member, I have to show that Makoto can catch up with the 3 Kanon Girls (Ayu, Mai, Nayuki).
Another is, the old club is long dead/inactive. No one's moderating that one. Makoto's greatness shouldn't be wasted on a long-dead club. That's why this new club is created.
..and to accomplish everything the members are the foundation of the club. That means, one member means everything to the club.
Phew..long commen. I hope I can convince you to join ^^
yep i am! though i dont know how long for.. ^^" ive been really tired lately.. new record! i slept 14 hours yesteday. O_O
