Contrary to the banner, this journal is not friends only. Rather, it is semi-friends only for the reason that I like people to comment before they friend me. Why? Because I don't feel comfortable with complete strangers friending me. It's as simple as that. I don't expect anything fancy and I don't bite- just drop me a comment stating who you are and why you'd like to friend me, and, chances are, I'll friend you back. Fandoms in common help a lot, too. However, if you don't comment on this post, I won't friend you back, simple as that.

Two things: I don't friend journals that are linked to twitter/facebook/other social media (so that the majority of the posts are, for example, a conglomeration of tweets) and I don't friend journals that are mostly sales journals. If your journal is either of these things, please feel free to friend my regardless; all of my fic, icons, translations, reports, meta, and other fanworks will always be unlocked.

In the case that you happen to stumble across this journal and are considering friending, here's just a bit about me to help you out, a bit more in-depth than my userinfo.

. t h i n g s . t o . k n o w .
☆ I am a huge fan of BL. Yes, that is two males in a relationship together. That squicks you? This is not a place for you.
☆ I am a huge feminist. I go to a women's college. I am bisexual. If any of these things bother you, again, this is not the place for you.
☆ I am a huge nerd. I love anime. I fangirl over things. I occasionally sparkle-text spam. I don't know why you'd be here if you didn't know that, but if this bothers you, again, this is not the place for you.
☆ I write RPS (that is, fiction of relationships between real living people, usually Japanese actors), as well the other content that may not be appropriate for everyone. Everything I write has warnings visible BEFORE the story is visible. Please read them. If you're scarred easily, this may not be the place for you.

. f a n d o m s .
☆Johnny's Entertainment - Current main fandom. This includes:
→ Arashi - My first Johnny's fandom! My favourite is Jun, but I really love them all and go through phases of obsession over each, except Nino. Favourite PVs include Aozora Pedal, My Girl, and Lotus, favourite dramas include Maou and the Quiz Show, favourite variety show is VS Arashi. (tags: arashi, arashi arashi for dream)
→ Hey! Say! JUMP - Love these boys ♥ My favourite (and probably my favourite Johnny's talent period) is Chinen, with Inoo in second place. Favourite PVs include Mayonaka no Shadow Boy and Magic Power. I also moderate the dreamwidth Hey! Say! JUMP community here!(tags: hey! say! jump, ultra music power, Yuri is a girl's name...)
→ Kis-My-Ft2 - Who can resist these ridiculous guys? My favourite is Tama, though I love him because he's a talentless, self-centered bitch with the IQ of a gerbil ♥ Favourite PVs include Everybody Go and Shake It Up.
→ Sexy Zone - I've only recently started admitting to myself that I can possibly like a group called Sexy Zone but... here I am. My favourite is Marius (and our racial makeup is surprisingly similar, hurrah for hafu!), but I love all of them. (tags: sexy zone)
→ B.I.Shadow (Johnny's Junior) - I'm probably the only Johnny's fan ever to get into a group once it's already been disbanded, but that's just how cool I am. My favourite is Yugo! (tags: b.i.shadow)
→ Bakaleya 6 (Johnny's Junior) - I'm going with this name because they don't technically have one... But I love these boys. My favourite, naturally, is Yugo~
☆ *pnish* - A beloved fandom. My favourite is Wasshi, but I love them all, as well as their friends and guests. Favourite plays are Maharaja Mode and Secret Box, favourite skits are On5 schoolgirls, On4 Hosts, favourite guests include Nagayama Takashi, Uenobori Makoto, and Hasegawa Tetsurou, favourite characters include Parvati, Saiga, Haru, Randy, Ki-chan, and Host!Yuuichi. (tags: パニシュが好き！, The Gay One, Leader, Sexyface, 兄貴がなんだろう？！, sparkly gay Indian boys, *pnish playverse, Maharaja Mode, Samurai Mode, Secret Box, Panic Age, rps)
☆ Bleach - BuriMyu also counts as an extension of this, as most of the actors I fangirl in that are ones from TeniMyu. My favourites include Ichimaru Gin, Kira Izuru, Hinamori Momo, Hirako Shinji, Ukitake Juushirou, Ishida Uryuu, Soi Fong, and Ishida Ryuuken. I hate Inoue Orihime and Matsumoto Rangiku. (tags: bleach is admittedly addictive, bleach)
☆ TeniMyu - My fandom for most of my college days! My favourites include Aoyagi Ruito, Kimeru, Nagayama Takashi, Yanagi Koutarou, Luke.C, Sakamoto Shougo, Kyousuke Hamao, etc. I hate Irei Kanata. (tags: tenimyu, not a stalker)
☆ The Prince of Tennis - Yes, I do know that you're probably laughing at me through the computer screen. I don't care. My favourites are Mukahi Gakuto, Mizuki Hajime, Echizen Ryoma. OTPs include Tezuka/Ryoma, Yuuta/Mizuki, Yuushi/Gakuto, Hiyoshi/Gakuto, Shishido/Gakuto, Yagyuu/Niou, and quite a few others. I hate Rokkaku. (tags: in which i am a tenipuri fag, tenipuri)

. f a n w o r k s .
☆ Fic - You'll see a lot of this if you're friended to me. Generally, if you don't want to be spammed with it, don't friend me. I like comments a lot if you've read and liked something. (tags: archive, bl, one-shot)
☆ Art - This is rare, because despite the fact that I love making art, I'm also lazy. And not a very good artist when it comes to drawing people. (tags: art)
☆ Graphics - I make icons, friends only banners, desktops, etc. Also something I do fairly often. I now post my graphics to a graphics and caps community, electric_boys, and would love watchers on that community, as well. (tags: icons)
☆ Cosplay - I cosplay for conventions and will do photoshoots from time to time, which will be posted here. (tags: cosplay)

Hey there! It's Andrea. :)

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Hey! ♥ May I friend you back?

[aunt-agatha.livejournal.com]

First, you sound awesome. I appreciate to-the-point people. Also, Mizuki is awesome. I'll have to check if you've written some shishigaku, because hardly anyone writes that! I ship silver pair, technically, but what I mean by that is I ship everyone and love shishigaku.

Anyway, I thought I'd see about friending you because I'm guessing nc-17 fic is locked. However, you appear to be a pretty cool person, and I could use more tenipuri friends, so hello! ^__^

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

XD; Thanks. I hope I don't sound too brusque... I have written ShishiGaku, though, unfortunately, a new fandom has caught my eye and I'll probably be writing less Prince of Tennis in the future (though I suppose you never know? ^^;) Still, you're more than welcome to friend me ^^

[teasaucer.livejournal.com]

Hi, could you please unadd me? I recently traded journals with the previous owner of this account.

[aurorn.livejournal.com]

Yo. I'm that chick from Fencer's last night. Mind if I add you?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Hey! Sure thing, adding you back :D

[imma-holiday.livejournal.com]

Heyo! This is the girl from last week's Ikebukuro dinner! The one who's not hughes_maes or fencer_x. XDD I'm adding you, if you don't mind~.

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'll add you back, if you don't mind~

[jesu-chan.livejournal.com]

Gah, I sent the request and forgot the comment. >_<

Well anywho... I am Jesse. =D Yay me.

And you are quite a lot mentioned in fencer_x's journals and apparently we do indeed have much fandom in common. =)

I cannot stop obsessing over *pnish*. >///

Yoooo Hoooo

[fell4ever.livejournal.com]

Look I even restarted my livejournal. Apparently I made one like seven years ago? I just never posted >.>

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm so touched that you'd do that for me. XD; ♥

[nerdish.livejournal.com]

Hi! Random, and probably out of the blue, but starianprincess recommended you on a friending meme. I have a feeling we'd get along well. Plus I've only talked to a few people who love Minekura's works- and like Bus Gamer as well.

Friends?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, awesome~ It's always great to find another Minekura fan! I'd love to be friends :D

[calligraphe.livejournal.com]

Hi there! It's Elaine. Friend?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Yes~!

[momijikun23.livejournal.com]

Hey! My name is Cathy and i found your journal when i searched Arashi. So we have Arashi in common and i really want to get to know other Arashi fans! Oooh i used to be ALL about Tenimyu but my favorites are mainly the second cast and third cast with the exception of a couple and a sprinkle of those of other casts/teams! So i hope you add me me back! :D

Ooooh i just realized i've read a couple of your Arashi fics! O.O

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Hi! Always glad to know other Arashi fans! It's surprising how much overlap there is between Arashi and Tenimyu! XD;

Add me? :)

[jenjess98.livejournal.com]

Hi :)
I'd really like to read some more of your fics, so friend me back? :)

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Hi ^^

It seems like it's Prince of Tennis that you're interested in? I'm generally out of Prince of Tennis fandom, it doesn't seem like we have any other fandoms in common. All of my fics are completely unlocked, so you can read them even without friending me, and I generally post about JE and other fandoms these days, just a warning. ^^;

[nekobot01.livejournal.com]

I found your official comment post. So, yes, I loved your fic and I hope you don't mind if I friend you. :)

Me - Arashi fan, tend to post indepth screencap recaps of Arashi performances focusing on adorable facial expressions interspersed posts recounting the facepalm adventure that is my life.

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'm really glad you liked my fic and nice to meet you~ ^^

[chai-pieremae.livejournal.com]

I am Charisse Piere Mae O. Ubalde born last June 16, 1993 on a Wednesday sometime at dawn (haven't asked what it was) and my mom said it was full moon at that time ( no wonder I love full moons).

I was supposedly to be names as Maria Kenneth as per requested by my mother however my aunt said that kenneth is a sickly name. so she said Charisse instead, which means gift. my mom agreed because my aunt ACTUALLY insisted and probably agreed to my name’s meaning because indeed I was a gift in the family ( my mom giving birth to me at age of 32, in other countries very usual but in ours [Philippines} too old).

Piere is the Latin equivalent of Pete (the name of my father) despite the fact that my father left us before my mom even gave birth to me it was so nice of my mom to offer one of my name to my dad, hmmmm……I wonder if she regrets.

actually, that’s now what I really mean (getting pissed and angry to y dad for leaving us, I better without him sometimes ) I wonder if my mom regrets giving mw that name because, Piere is usually spelled as Pierre, double R. I dunno what went to my mom’s mind that she spelled it as one R ( she was sure that she didn’t get it wrong) so what now happens is that I ALWAYS get misspelled name in school, especially on official school documents, like my diploma. when I received my diploma I have to go back to school to make corrections to it since I might have problems in the future about it.it took almost a month for it to be fixed and me getting it, this time correctly spelled.

Mae, there’s not much of a story in this name since it’s a very common name. in my country [Philippines] since we are a Roman Catholic country, usually Mama Mary’s name: Mary, Mae, Maria, Marie, Marianne, Maryanne, to name a few is integrated to the girls’ name so having a Mae in my name isn’t really that shocking or it has a really funny or serious background story.

I have discussed my name what’s next to discuss, hmmm……Oh btw, I am not called by my friends as cha ( tradition of people making the first 3 letters of the person as their nickname) my nickname is Chai. actually as I grew up I had so many nicknames: Cha, Chay, Isse, Chuchai, Buchai, VoChai, Chayuga, PierMae, Mama Sang, and Mama Chai. you see, I have tons but you know how they came up is really funny. with Cha and Chay its pretty predictable, it just came up by my mom so let’s touch to much about it.

Chuchai came up when I was in 3rd year high school. I was the one who made it myself and decided to replace my Friendster( at that time Facebook wasn’t a big deal yet) name in Chuchai instead of simply Chai, of course being a lot of people is addicted to SNS already, they immediately picked up the name. the my homeroom teacher began calling me chuchai until everyone in the room started to call me. but the surreal thing is when I reached 4th year high school I had a different nickname already (which I will discuss in the next paragraph) but when I received my high school yearbook Chu chai was one of my nicknames, cute! teenagers usually tend to forget things as they pass by so I was shocked when I found out that actually someone from the yearbook staff remembered and consider placing it. well, I appreciated it very much.

Buchai and VoChai, was my 4th year high school nicknames. Buchai is actually a combination of BU and Chai. Bu came from BUING (it came from one of the dialects here in the Philippines, bisaya) it means crazy in English. I had a group of friends who are all crazy in so many ways, and since they were originally called the –ingz, when I entered the group they added Bu, and later became BU-INGZ. they had name like ming, ning, maeng, ling, ting and the me buchai… that’s is our endearment to each other, and AGAIN, my classmates happened to picked it up they started to call me buchai as well. actually, it was only MY nickname they used against me, my friends nicknames weren’t used to call them by other people. I was actually confused about it but nevertheless at the end of the day it was okae since I had a sort of another identity by having a new nickname.

[chai-pieremae.livejournal.com]

Vochai, you see they actually just a same pronunciation with Buchai, Vochai actually evolved from there. like the usual in high school there will always be love teams and I had one----unluckily. his name was Vo-van ( I don’t know were his name came from and I really don’t care so let’s bother too much about it). we are actually the literal meaning of fighting cat and dogs, I mean they will never be a day that we will never clash. if we actually do fell in one group, it only means one thing----CHAOS. I am not exactly sure why we always fight however, we really clash everyday and in every way. we always just have different opinion about things, and probably because both of us has a VERY strong personality we fight for what we think is right strongly, making us clash every time. plus he is a very loud person to the extent that he never shuts his mouth even he had already insulted someone. so buchai was replaced with Vochai.

Chayuga, I actually don’t remember where it actually came from however I do remember the person who invented that name. Piermae, this one came from the pranks of people so used in calling the first names of others instead of the second realizing that the second name has more sense of uniqueness. So in every year, when people just want to make fun of others they starting to call them in their second names, like mine since my second name is Piere Mae, they call me Piermae. And most of the times to make me get really pissed they only call me Pier, you know pier, where the big boats or ferries are found.

Mama Sang and Mama Chai, so many people felt my motherly personality so they call me Mama Chai. In third year, my motherly personality wasn’t yet that evident and bold that someone calls me Mama Chai. When they found out I had that kind of personality they first starting to call me as mama sang (since I was really chubby way back that I look like one). Everyone in my 3rd year class calls me Mama Sang, at first I didn’t really like it but eventually I’ve gotten used to it. But when I reached 4th year, they were a lot of my classmates that bold enough to actually call me Mama Chai, until it also became my another nickname; to those who I am not really close calls me Buchai and the others calls me Mama Chai, even if the teacher is in front they call me that name, making a lot of people ask why. I appreciated it because they saw my motherly personality and was really bold enough to call me “Mama” and whenever they need help they come to me as a son or daughter.

Most of my nicknames started to evolve in my high school days, now that I’m now a 3rd year college student these nicknames were actually carried over. They were still some who picked up Buchai and calls me once in a while, but most calls me Chai since it’s really my official nickname. But to those how have gotten really close to me in college and saw my mother personality calls me boldly Mama Chai.

My name is really rich isn’t it? It has so many histories but I am not yet done, I haven’t really talked who I am really, personality-wise. I just realized that when I begin to touch in that it might take me a few days to finish it actually.

Many of my friends told me that I have a VERY deep personality that making them hard to dig deep. I admit I have a very deep personality. You see, when I was a kid I always have this dilemma “why does he know who exactly his friend is?” “Is it really possible for a certain person to know someone deeply aside from its family?” but my biggest question is, “can you really answer t yourself and expound to others ‘who am I’?” with all this curiosity going through my head I began to find the answers at a very young age. I began this journey at maybe I was around 9-10 years old. I began discovering myself slowly; that maybe the reason why I’m deep. So introducing me personality-wise might take too much time.

But first let’s have some slum book style of introduction to probably further breakdown myself.

Hello, sorry for the late response! It's nice to meet you. Unfortunately, I have a policy of not friending journals that are mostly sales posts, so please forgive me for not friending you back. However, you're welcome to stay friended to me! Almost all of my fandom-related posts are unlocked.

Anw, I also stan JE and a fan of BL (esp liveaction movies ;a;)
Thank yoouuuu <3

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Hello, nice to meet you. ^^ The layout I have on my livejournal isn't mine; as it says in my profile, it's made by abellalayouts. The version I'm using has already been highly altered from the original. If you want to use or alter it, it's theirs, not mine. ^^;

Thanks for reading my fics and for stopping by ^^

[EDIT] I see since you're already using the layout, I think the actual maker would really appreciate if you credit them in your userinfo. It was one of the requirements when I took the layout in the first place, though I can't find the original post.

[cakezplease.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm Dia, from Canada! Hey! Say! JUMP is my all-time favourite JE group but I also love Kis-my-ft2 and Bakaleya6 and other groups lots. tbh I think Chinen is the most handsome out of all of them but Inoo is my ichiban. He's just too cute and funny and random. Haha! Hope we can be friends!

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you! Glad to see more fans of Chinen and Inoo; Chinen might be my favourite but I love Inoo too!

[cess-chan.livejournal.com]

Hey there!

I couldn't resist but comment and hopefully, you'll add me back up. Always on the look out for fellow BL/Anime/JE fans.dmit I was Jun-baited at first too. Dayummm. MatsuJun sure can be listed in the Guiness World Book of Records for the girls he has baited and brought to the JE fandom. Thoough I have to admit I'm really into Yamada right now. Like. He brought me back into the fandom after...2 years. I can't believe I went hiatus for 2 years :|

Moving on, I'm hoping we can share more of our interests and passion for these fandoms. Oh, and I'm planning to teach English in Japan too. Hopefully, soon. :)

Yoroshiku!

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you! Jun is pretty awesome that way! I'll add you back. :)
