Chessboard of Life

ariesxleoI finished Wuthering Heights! It’s a really good book, can’t stop myself from reading it all the time... and almost got caught reading it in class once... ^^;;; Bronte’s style is really nice, and I guess she and Jane Austen will probably tie as my favorite from now on... well, I still got Orson Scott Card’s A War of Art to read though... lots of the new books to read... yay ^^
I went to an Asian party on Saturday and had fun with the Karaoke set with my buddies. ^^ ...though most of them were pretty old Chinese song. We had to dig really hard to find the few older songs we know... (Well especially me since most of the Chinese songs I can sing off of the top of my head were either this year or last year’s ^^;;;) But in the end, we did find some, like S.H.E.’s SUPER STAR, Joey Yung’s 挥着翅膀的女孩, Jolin Cai’s 说爱你... and I totally bombed Jay Chou’s 晴天... =_= but Jay Chou’s songs are hard to sing if you only listened to them for like once beforehand... ^^;;;
Ah, a meme snagged from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pink_for_flower –nee-chan... ^^ I did it a long time ago, though I kinda forgot to post it ^^;;;
ABOUT YOU JOURNAL
What is your LiveJournal username? How did you come up with it?
ouranwind... well, it's made up by two parts: "ouran" and "wind". The "wind" part is always part of my username, and it's my favorite element, and sometimes it does describe me. And "ouran" is, of course, taken from Ouran High School Host Club, as I was obsessed with it the time I made this journal, and I really liked the Japanese characters of the word as well. ^^
Have you renamed before? If so, what were your old names? If you haven't renamed, what names would you want to rename to?
No... and I probably won't in the near future.
How much does your userinfo say about you?
a slice of my personality, a long list of my manga fandoms, and my other blogs
How long have you been on LiveJournal?
uh... not too long... I used to have one... but it wasn't updated
What is the longest amount of time you've gone without posting?
a few weeks I think... when the new semester started
On average, how many entries do you post per day?
hmm... one per two to three days? or whenever I have things to post about ^^;
What are your posts normally about?
daily life, some rants on school, memes, fics for 30 Memories, pretty much anything that catches my eye
Is your LiveJournal friends only? Why or why not?
it's kinda semi-friends since I lock the personal-ish entries...
Does your LiveJournal have a title?
September's Beethoven
Memoir of Year Sixteen
the title was inspired by one of Jay Chou's Album: November's Chopin, and my fav. classical composer was always Beethoven. The subtitle was a summary of what this journal is, a record of my life, and I'm sixteen now.
How long do you see yourself staying on LiveJournal?
dunno, I'm not planning to leave in the near future
ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSLIST
How many people are on your friendslist, not counting private journals, media journals, etc?
Eleven
Why do you choose to add a person to your friendslist?
They're interesting people, and we have common things to talk about, and also two of them were my RL friend whom I bugged to get an LJ ^^;;;
Is your friends list an actual list of people you consider friends, or more of a reading list?
Friends ^^... I don't really need to add more to the list of things I have to read
How often do you read your friendslist?
Pretty much every other day unless I get massive amt. of work from school
Do you use filters when viewing your friendslist?
Nah, and I use the friend page to get new icons and fandom-related things anyway, it's too messy to see any of my friends' actual entries, so I just use my profile page ^^;;;...
How much do you talk to people on your friendslist off of LiveJournal?
Pretty much none, except the two of my RL friends, who never really update their LJ anyway... =_=
Do you do friends cuts? Why or why not?
No, there's no need to...
Do you regularly participate in friending memes? If not, how do you normally find people to friend?
friending memes? o.o not really... I find them... hm... I don't really find friends these days anymore...but in the beginning, it was the common interests and common communities I think
How often do you add new friends to your friendslist?
Not often these days at all...
Do your friends have to have things in common with you?
Obviously
ABOUT YOUR ICONS / USERPICS
How many userpics do you get maximum? How many of those slots do you actually use?
15 and 15
Do you mostly use icons made by yourself or by others?
Myself
Do you have your own icon community? How often do you post in it?
No... I fear that I won't handle the responsibility since I get too much work from school these days...but I probably when I feel confident about it...
What fandoms are most frequently seen in your userpics?
CLAMP...
How do you find icons to use?
I make them usually on Friday nights, and if I stumble on some really good ones on my friends page
How often do you upload new icons to use in your userpics?

The Umi and Sakura one... which I just replaced some days ago... but I'm still using them often
Which of your userpics do you like the most?

Heck no >.<
What do your userpics say about you?
I like really fancy icons? and I like icons with tiny text?
ABOUT YOUR FANDOMS
Which fandoms are you most active in?
fic-wise, xxxHOLiC... other than that, I just read my ongoing manga series regularly, which is a lot
What do your choice of fandoms say about you?
They're mostly by CLAMP? and they're shojo? And I’m a picky reader? ^^;;;
Do you make friends based on fandom?
Not really...
How many fandom communities are you a part of?
A lot... but I just read them from my friends page whenever I need to kill time
Do you join fanfic or icon communities or only the general communities?
both... but general communities unless I'm super obsessed with the series
How many fandom communities do you moderate?
Zero
How often do you check fandom communities for new posts?
On my friends page, when I need to kill time... which is pretty much every other afternoon... >_>
Do you contribute to fandom? If so, by way of what?
I read their pages so that the page traffic is increased daily... and occasionally write some fic
What is one thing you wish you could change about fandom?
hm... no idea...
o.O I haven’t post the other 30 Memories story I wrote of xxxHOLiC yet... wow, that was weeks ago...oh well, I’ll do that tomorrow... ^^;;; I’m such a procrastinator these days...
