Hello everybody. I finally decided to make an account on this site. Anyway, my name is Alexandra, I'm from Bucharest, Romania. I have short, dark brown hair and brown eyes. My favorite colours are any shade of purple, violet, lavender; blue; silver; gold; red.
New things added now.
About my personality: I'm easy-going, open-minded, I like talking about anything, from small, casual things to philosophical ones. Me and my friends usually make debates about different aspects of life.
I like reading fantasy, horror, SF, psychological, and also the novels that combine different styles. LOtR rocks, Eragon as well. My favorite authorsare Haruki Murakami and Stephen King. Now, I'm taking a break from Stephen King, sort of lost interest,and I've found another Japanese author, Yasunari Kawabata. And I WILL add more, considering that I'm obsessed with Japan.
I watch any kind of genre on TV.My favorite movies were LOtR, Silence of the Lambs, The Last Samurai, The Gladiator, Equlibrium, The Illusionist, Atonement, Braveheart.
New TV series that I absolutely adore: House M.D.
I LOVE anime and manga (though not so much). I'm in the 11th grade now, and I HAVE taken up Japanese, with a wonderful teacher. Hence my renewed obsession with the country, and reading of Japanese authors (in Romanian, not on a sufficiently high level to read in Japanese, YET)
Anime that I like: Death Note, Jigoku Shoujo, Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori, Witch Hunter Robin, Kiddy Grade, Ergo Proxy (made by the same guy who made Witch Hunter Robin; I haven't finished watching it), La Corda d'Oro, NANA, ROD the TV, Yu Yu Hakusho, Slayers. And many others. Now I shall have a little rant about Slayers. It was an anime that marked me, it was my favorite for MONTHS. WEll, the anime itself is a parody, really, but what fascinated me most was the world created. Days after days I went on different sites, reading about the world of Slayers, the four Universes, actually, the one in Slayers is one of them, the one in the anime Lost Universe is another. I, at some point, had managed to memorize all the God and Mazoku lords from the 4 Universes. The novels are much different. Slayers was made after novels, not manga. Well, the first two series, the third is invented. The novels, as I said, are not funny in the least. I haven't read them, but I've read summaries, and they are very serious, developing the characters very well. So I want to read them, and I could say that I'm not actually so in love with the anime, as I am in love with the world there: the different types of magic, all the incantations, what appears in the novels. The 3 series also stick to the novels only until a certain point. I liked Slayers Next the most, because of the appearance of Lord of Nightmares at the end. End of rant.
The only other anime that managed to grip me like this was, and is, Death Note. I mean, I've seen it, read the manga (and, as I said, I'm not such a great fan of manga), seen the movies, want to read the novel, and want to see the new movie.
I intend to start watching Japanese movies and series, because they are also cool. I've seen Shinobi (there's also the anime, and I want to see that too)and 1 Litre of Tears (the movie, there's a series as well, not anime, I want to watch that too).
I'm probably also going to post something here, someday. I have ideas, but I'm not too sure of them. I actually prefer reading fanfiction, and writing original fiction.
Well, that's it, for now. For favorite quotes, I'll have to watch some of the House episodes again.
