Sorta introish post thingy...

givemeyourhonor...so that I am not one of those people who got a journal just to never use it, because I already did that on lj and it makes me sad, because I used to like journaling. But even though almost everyone who friended me is from amat/my plurk...
Hiiiii, I'm Joy and I am in perpetual love with koei warrior games. Before that I was majorly in love with Samurai Deeper Kyo, which very few people actually know. And before that, it was Gravitation which is a bit more (in)famous? And there is a smattering of other fandoms in between and throughout, though nothing that has ever stuck quite as much as those main three, though it's sadly been a while since I had anything to do with Gravi even though I was really active with it for a while.
But fannish activity wise, I am mainly an rper, though I like to squee and ramble about stuff on occasion and I used to write lots of crappy fic with a focus on noncanon/crack pairings. I've dabbled in a lot of fandoms aside from the main three I mentioned and I'm generally open to a lot of different anime, manga and video games depending on the mood I'm in, though I don't always enjoy really dark stuff with the exception of things like Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Current series I am watching/reading/playing/will probably talk about in the future oh nos: baka and test, Digimon Tamers (more of a rewatch after many, many years), Tiger and Bunny, Dragon Age: Origins, Assassin's Creed, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I, Yo-Jin-Bo, Enzai, Prince of Persia series, Recettear, and shit probably a whole bunch of other games I'm forgetting about as well as some manga because I have no time management skills.
Rpwise my current roster consists of:
Kanetsugu Naoe from Samurai Warriors: While I liked Kanetsugu from the start, I was a bigger Masamune fan. But not only did I not feel I could play the one eyed dragon very well, but I also desperately wanted to interact with him. And so I chose Kanetsugu because I like snarking and bickering a whole fucking a lot. But I needed a game to play in and I had never really found a game or fellow I rpers I truly connected with and so I didn't anticipate playing him for very long. Looool, I was so wrong.
I apped this guy into Amat in February 2009. And ended up dropping and running off to Micro after a certain Masamune player. Eventually I apped back in October 2009 and have been in Amat ever since. And it has been one of the greatest experiences in my rp career. Because of him, I have made a wonderful group of friends and I am glad that I took the chance to play him and hope to continue for a long time.
Liu Shan from Dynasty Warriors: Liu Shan I took up because everyone was excited for DW7 and I wanted to as well. And I'd actually settled on apping him long before the game was even out and we knew what he was like, but was massively unsure at first because of the reputation the character had in the novels and history. I felt like I would be stepping on a lot of toes, but I got encouraged by friends and took the chance anyways and I'm glad I have even though I feel I haven't put as much into the character as I could.
I hope to do better though! I absolutely love him as a character and love koei for having written him the way they did. He's a hard character though, as his temperament is one I'm not used to playing. I tend to play guys who are far more confident and much more openly jerky. I'm not used to playing some so PA, yet still ultimately good. I look forward to trying though and I love my cast and hope to see it continue to grow.
Kaworu Nagisa from Neon Genesis Evangelion: Sadly I have not introed him at Abax and keep on waffling. Holidays/Finals Stress/LJ issues/UNCHARTED WATERS SHIT SHIT WHAT AM I DOING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE have given me a case of cold feet, though I still want to get over my shyness and intro him some time soon. I feel like the I sucked the first time I played him in Paradisa, but I also feel like my understanding of the character wasn't as great now as it was then, so I feel excited at the prospect of playing him more awesomely. And I really like Abax's premise and want to test it out.
Taigong Wang from Warriors Orochi: This is more of a pending reapp for Amat, but I am excited to play him again. Not so much to actually right the app, but well, writing apps feels like pulling teeth to me for some reason, so I'll just have to make through as I always do. I feel like if I play him this time though, I'll do much better.
And on a more real life front, spring semester is starting next week. I am... not really excited mainly because I am worried about all the money things even though I am pretty sure it'll all pull through. Just really worried that I have not made the right choices in life, but I just gotta believe! Or something.
Also, trying to get back into weight lifting for realz this time. I've pretty much gained back the 50 pounds or so I lost when I was in college the first time around and it's depressing me so fucking much. Plus, I'm tired of all the headaches I've been getting, which is another thing I had kicked when I was still working out. Hopefully I can get back in shape though. I'm doing pretty good at sticking to the aerobics part so far, it's just the weights part that'll be a little harder. Eating right is also another big thing, since I spend too much money on junk food anyways. I'm trying to eat more fruits, veggies and whole grains. I am excited, though it's going to take a few adjustments and a bit of time to make it a truly regular thing as well as breaking my bad habits. Schools not going to help on that regard, but I just have to perseve!
But over I all I hope this new year will be a good one, worries aside. I feel like moving over to dreamwidth will be a fresh start for me and I hope it is for others as well.
