Intro Post! Yay!

[x_gh0st_x]

I've recently realized that I'm getting better at making friends, so I thought that maybe I should make an intro post, so I can get all the awkward things about me and my interests out of the way. So, yay intro post! 8D

In ways, you sound just like my boyfriend, which is a positive thing, since it would go without saying that I like my boyfriend quite a bit. XD; So yes, you seem like a fun person to get to know. I think the straight-edge thing is cool--I rarely meet people who don't drink/smoke, and it's really nice to find such people. I don't either, and I don't intend to. I mean, I have the occasional sip of wine with my mom, but that's all. I have no interest in any of that stuff, and when my friend and I turn 21 we're giving each other liver plushies.

And you sound like a guy. I figured you were male before you said anything. Shouldn't be too hard for me to refer to you as male, as such. Anyway it's a pleasure to meet you. I think I'm going to like you a lot. :D

[x_gh0st_x]

XD Thank you! It really, really is hard finding people who don't drink or smoke, and it's even harder finding people who do that don't look down on me for my edge. It's...sad. The liver plushie sounds ridiculously cute, omg. I kind of want one now. Lol! For my 21st birthday, I want to have a keg of root beer.

Oh man, you have no idea how happy that makes me. *flails* I don't generally "try" to sound like a guy, but. I like when I do. It makes me happy when other people see that about me. Because I should be. And now I'm babbling. I'm really freaking excited now. I was actually hella nervous about commenting on the DN meme, but now I'm really glad, 'cause you seem really freaking awesome and I love making new friends. (Homygod, sentence length o.o *breathes*) But yes. I think we shall be awesome friends! =D

Yeah--I know a lot of people who don't smoke, actually. I don't have a single friend who smokes, and when my stepbrother started I was kind of...taken aback. I was surprised he'd do something so dumb. Especially given that his grandfather died of lung cancer, and one of our old family friends did too. I know people who smoke, but not my friends. However, it's very hard to find people who don't drink.

Can I ask why you've chosen not to do these things? I mean I think it's a perfectly legitimate choice, but I'm wondering what led you to it.

I thought you were male until you said otherwise. It might have been that you said your name was Zack, but also just the way you talked, I guess? I don't know. And yeah, I was nervous about the meme too--usually I don't get any responses to those things, but I did this time, and I found some cool people myself, so that's always really nice.

[x_gh0st_x]

Huh, I think I know more people that smoke than drink. And yeah, some of them I'm really surprised at, because of the same situation - knowing people who have died because of smoking related illnesses.

Well, I wasn't always edge. And I used to drink and smoke and take pretty much whatever pill was shoved at me. There were a lot of reasons why, and one day I just said "oh fuck this, enough is enough." And I talked to one of my really close friends at the time about being edge. He helped me through a lot of shit. I think it was the best decision I ever made. And now I've been going strong for over two years. =D

Oh word. XD I'm excited about the meme thing too. I was too nervous to actually comment on anybody else's (or, you know, too worried about sounding like an idiot.) But I got a couple comments and now I have a couple more friends and it's all very exciting.

I have been wondering how to pronounce that. So thank you, dearheart, I feel a lot better about your name in my head now.

Also: I enjoy all the capitalization in this entry.

Also squared: dude, dude, did you change your AIM name again? :|

Also cubed: ... I swear I had another point. Whyyyyy am I not studying, Zack, why why why. *cling*

[x_gh0st_x]

Lol, it is a surprisingly difficult name for how tiny it is. XD I am glad you feel better about it now. ♥

I enjoy all the capitalization too. Oh man. I had fun with this.

I didn't change my AIM, I just happen to have another one. That is uh, more public? Only awesome people have the other one which you have. 8D

And um. I don't know? *pats* There, there. (What are you SUPPOSED to be studying anyway? Lols.)

[parcae]

Aha. Well now I feel special! *preens*

*clingsto* Advanced organic chemistry. First test of the term in, uh. Less than an hour actually! I AM SO SCREWED.

[seraphim_lament]

I find it a bit alarming that you have to warn others about the fact that you don't want to screw your body up with substances. It amazes me that people would give you crap for making a good decision. I don't smoke, and I drink occasionally, but I always stop as soon as I start to feel any kind of effect. I don't understand the people who act as though their mission in life is to mess themselves up. But anyway.

You know, I totally thought that you were a guy before reading this, so it's not going to be hard for me to continue thinking of you as one. It's cool. And I'm going to have to decide what to call you, since I have a list of nicknames at my disposal now. (It's cool to have nicknames, but I don't even want to know what people have called me before! XD)

I too have gotten a recent little influx of new people on my f-list, so I feel like I should follow your example and make an informative post like this. But I don't even know what I would write, so props to you :)

[x_gh0st_x]

Yeah. I don't really know. I feel it's better to let people know before they find out some other way and are like "OMG NO WAY, WHAT THE HELL?" because sadly enough, that has happened to me. I don't understand why it's such a big deal, especially considering my stance on the whole edge thing. If other people want to do it, good on them. Just not for me. *nods*

XD I'm glad! I have even more nicknames that no one calls me anymore, but. I felt that the list was long enough as is. Lol.

Oh man, do it! It's fun. Even though I angsted over this freaking entry for like... I don't even know. It had to be like 5 hours. Seriously. But. I'm a little OCD and I wanted it to be awesome. I'm kind of (ridiculously) proud of it.

(Also, I don't believe I mentioned this before? But um, your B icon brings me much joy.)

[seraphim_lament]

I'm not really strict on my drinking or lack thereof, but I spend most parties drinking non-alcoholic things so that I can drive other people home. When I do drink, it's very light, so I've never been drunk before. I just think it's ridiculous that other people would give a damn about whether or not you yourself drink or smoke. What do they care? :/

I think I'm going to end up calling you...Light. (Or Yagami-kun, if I feel like being a goofball.) I am associating you with him both because you roleplay him, and because most of the icons you use with me are of him XD It's a natural association to make, I think..? I've never had nicknames, but I'm not sure I want to know what people would be calling me, though granted it would be interesting.

I think I will. And, knowing me, I'll angst over it for just as long.

(I thought you would appreciate the B icon. Your Light icons please me a little more than they should as well.)

[x_gh0st_x]

Yeaaah, I don't get it. I don't care if other people drink, so I don't know why they care that I don't. I guess it just goes to show how mature certain people are, you know?

Hah! I will never have enough people in my life calling me Light (or Yagami-kun X3) so that's just really awesome. <3 And my friend promised me a paid account for my birthday, so I'll have even MORE Light icons. And definitely some of B. Because YAY! Ahahaa. You really don't have any nicknames? That's so strange. o.o I don't think I've ever met anyone without any nicknames.

Good luck with the intro-posting. Lol. Hopefully it won't be too angstful?

(I ALWAYS appreciate B. In any form. XD)

[kollmeyer]

Hey erm.. you wana add me?

[x_gh0st_x]

Um, sure! Welcome to my LJ. XD

[x_gh0st_x]

Ahahaha, I had a lot of fun doing my intro post, even though I angsted over what I was going to write for HOURS. A couple of my unfortunate friends were subjected to my nonsense. XD

Glad to be your friend too! You seem really awesome.

Also, I love your icon so freaking much. XD

[x_gh0st_x]

Woo! Intro posts are win. Speaking of, I need to add more shit to this one. Because lately my flailings have included a lot of Bleach nonsense. XD

YEAH! I love those two so much. Especially when they fight. Unf unf. X3 Your icon is also very win. I love Matty. <3
