Pass a Secret Note ✘ Meme


Everyone on my f-list is doing it, and I cave before peer pressure! *SHOT* Besides, I had quite a day at work. Pick-me-up comments are win ~♥ But seriously, yeah. Twenty pizzas, a pack of garlic toast, two packs of breadsticks, and a calzone later? I can has die nao, pleez.

It occurred to me that it has been ages since I did an intro post, and I've made LJ friendings with some new people since my last one, which may or may not have been back when I started this journal. So time for me to toot my own horn a bit, I suppose?



Greetings! My name is Candyland, a handle derived from my high school nickname of Candy, which came from my unmatched sweet-tooth. I have gone by the same handle for years, and when I mentioned that I was thinking of changing it, I was started at how many people told me no ^__^

I am twenty-two years old, going on twenty-three (end of October). I am the elder of two kids, with a sister two years my junior who is affectionately referred to on this journal as Bug. That comes from a nickname our grandmother gave her when she was a toddler. She hates it. So of course I use it here :D She can be a brat, but I love her anyway. My parents are...well, my parents, I suppose.

My best friend is kaitodoushi, who I have known since kindergarten. We have been friends longer than some of the people on my f-list have been alive: going on eighteen years. Kat is my sister in fangirling and video games and overall squeeing, and I adore her ~♥ She is more or less a part of our family.

I have been playing video games since I was about five years old, when my parents bought our first system: the original NES. And lord, what a glorious package of dreams that little gray eight-bit box was ♥ My hands were barely big enough to work the controllers right. I got my first Gameboy in third grade with the money from my First Communion. The big ol' gray clunkers. I am now the proud owner of a PS2, a PSP, a Nintendo DS, a Wii (well, technically my parents', but I play it), and a newly acquired XBox 360.

M'also an anime fan. My first one was Sailor Moon, as is the case with many of my generation of fandom-goers, but really didn't kick in until I started watching DBZ and discovered that writing fanfiction was sort of fun and I didn't seem to suck too badly at it. It's gone since then, and I am quite happy with my fannish activities. I've met a ton of interesting people through them.

...we won't talk about jobs right now. It makes me very, very angry >_>

Let's see, what else can I tell you about my boring self...my favorite colors are green and pink, and my favorite combination is blue, green, and yellow. I love all things musical, and have been told that I am a pretty decent singer. I love things that make me laugh. I am remarkably anti-social when face-to-face, but I'm a little social butterfly online (sort of).

I am an impulse shopper unlike any other, and I'm not terribly good at handling money. Spoiling my friends rotten around Christmas is almost a personal mission. I also suck at prioritizing. Seriously. SUCK. I have a bit of a jealous streak in me, and I will go to the ends of the earth for my friends.

I love to chat and stuff, but I am actually insanely shy about commenting to people and friending people--one of the reasons that I haven't posted more to gyakuten_saiban, really... *is a bit intimidated* It takes me a while to feel comfortable in new surroundings, and that goes for fandoms as well. I'm like an old woman: I get set in my ways XD


Contact info is on my main LJ page, but pretty much everything is Candyland1030--my handle and my birthday combined into one nice, easy for my horrible memory to remember name. I love talking to people, but again, I'm horrendously shy about initiating contact.



...now that I have you all bored to tears and dozing off, I shall hypnotize you into doing my bidding and conquer the world! *DISCIPLINED WITH BRICKS* ♫They're Candy, they're Candy and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain--NARF!♪
