Welcome to Sarah Lynne's little bit of MAL space. It's in this little space where I yack about myself. If you want, take a gander; if not, *shrug* your choice. But I'm weird and cracked so you might get a laugh. :) This "About Me" thingie is going to be a continous work in progress and experimentation area, so if you don't like what you see, keep in mind it'll change eventually. I'm not that artsy, so I probably won't get elaborate with graphics (probably just going to be some simple piccies thrown in) but I'll see what color I can throw in here. Enjoy! XD

Some back story:
Raised all over the country, I'm part military brat (the air force side of the family). I have my mom still living and two sisters + one brother-in-law + and two demanding pooches (a Chow Chow and Chesapeake Retriever). I quibbled around in college and wasted time until my dad's death two years ago in a motorcycle accident when I did some thinking and finally decided a course. I'm now working towards my Associate's, then it's a major in History, and a Masters in Library Science, Holocaust Studies, or Museum Studies.
anime history:
I first watched anime when Scifi had those movies on really early morning, think that was back in '94(?). I was 12 watching Vampire Hunter D and Akira.... *headdesk* maybe that's why I'm warped..... Then it was Sailor Moon and Dragonball around '97... whenever it hit Cartoon Network. The clincher was Fushigi Yuugi in '98 when my little sister's friend loaned her the fansubs on VHS up to episode 39. To say that I was completely and utterly hooked was an understatement. After FY, it was a downhill slide with Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshi, Ai no Kusabi, Ronin Warriors..... the list continues..... Attended my first con in 2000 (Sakura Con) in Seattle and wish now I could indulge more in this aspect of the fan experience.....
What I look for and avoid in anime (to a point anyway):
Basically if something catches my interest, I'll give it a shot. I've watched something from many genres, from sports to pure comedy to romantic shoujo fluff to a couple ecchi (which I try to wipe from memory..... *shudder*). So *shrug*, if I like, I'll watch; if not, I'll drop. But here are some.....
Likes: drama, something that makes my heart bleed, sing, or shout in anger, plot, some comedy (as long as it's a part of something else), historically linked, YAOI! (fangirl moment there... please excuse), shounen-ai, supernatural themes, themes about death (don't ask please.), newer sports/genre entries with attractive character design, attractive character designs period, beautiful and haunting music, almost anything character and relationship driven
Dislikes: hentai and ecchi!! (the biggest dislike), pure comedy with no other aspect to save it, most harem-type animes, a huge amount of filler episodes, excessive panty and boob shots, pure fighting and action animes
So while I've got likes and dislikes, I've been known to deviate from time to time and give something a shot that I've disliked before. However, the above are pretty key to why I watch different animes.
Friend requests:
Definitely!!! I'm at the point at MAL right now that I'd love to get to know people and make some friends. I'll take a look at profiles and lists before oking requests, but more than likely I'll say yeah. The more people to yak with about anime and manga in my viewpoint. This may change in future, but I don't see it soon. So request away!!! ^_^
same dang thing here...again! i also like your favorites; and your clubs fit me as well.being a newbie at manga i'll use your list which must be full of yaois.))
We are power,
Stronger than anyone else.
We are courage,
Brave like a hundred lions.
We are fame,
Shining brighter than a stars.
We are army,
Standing in the front of lines.
And we are victory,
Celebrating our glorious days,
And we are a fake,
Walking towards to our "death".
He was the boy,
Now the horror,
Who will brings disasters,
While walks his path.
Black aura
Glooming around him,
Like a shield of darkness
Eating his live away.
Terror in his hand,
Blood thirst in the eyes,
Drives away his enemies,
Deeper into madness.
Corpses every night,
Fear in every sight.
Making him forger
More and more
About himself.
Demon he was born,
Demon he will be.
In the end of the path
Death awaits for him.
I will eat you someday
Remember that!
Because you're my pray..
struggling won't help!
Trying is pointless!
If you see deep in your heart:
I geting stonger from
Every life you take.
I geting smarter
From every move you make.
Don't be shy
I will help you
Don't be alfraid
You can use me.
Stay with me,
You get power.
Here is the world
You take it OVER!
Until then I wait for your
Sweet self-destruction...
