I need suggestions and advise

[H222G981]

I would like to touch base with you all. I want to be honest and forth coming. I have not really taken the time to get to know all of you who have been here since the very beginning. I started this topic because I want to know what you're into.

 

If you could, leave something detailed about your hobbies such as anime, video games, anything that you like and is useful to help me connect with some of you among the community,nothing personal. Just what you see and feel is good enough to help me get to know a little bit more.   

 

I'm  looking for blunt opinions and advise on what you all like mainly. I don't want to post a topic that no one is interested in to. So as to not waste your time. 

First of all. When I first joined Japan legend. I used to topic spam.

 

Yes, I am now going to own up to the fact that when I came back to Japan Legend in mid 2014, I posted a lot of spam posts and topics. I participated in making a spam topic called the Lemonade Stand  for dumb and immature reasons to get up my post count.  I necro posted and what not. But I will say that I've grown up a bit since. 

 

I am exorcising self control and being more aware of what I should or shouldn't post. When making a topic, I also refrain from making another post because I'm afraid if not included in my original post, that it will contradict or conflict with my previous statement, so I've been working on not doing that either. 

 

So if you have anything you'd like to share. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for being patient with me and having me here among you.

I was born with a condition that is called 'intersex'. No corrective procedures were done on my body, but due to the levels of testosterone in my blood, I was raised as a boy. I knew something wasn't right but I didn't figure it out until a couple years ago, so in some senses I can come across a bit different from most girls and if anyone saw any pictures of me a few years ago, they would see why I was raised that way and why it took along while to realise the doctors made the wrong call. In any case, this is what I look like now so make up your own mind.

 

I like cute pink things, I like food, I like jewellery, I like puzzles, I like learning stuff and researching everything under the sun, I like clothes shopping.

 

So, I have been obsessed with similar sort of things my whole life, from a very early age. very early on, I liked something called 'popples' which was teddy bears that could disguise themselves. also, things called were-bears. I loved transformers, not the shooting or fighting, just the way they can change their shape. I loved Ranma 1/2. I loved freaky friday. I loved Power rangers, and of course when it came to Guyver, I totally fell in love. in Guyver, a boy was hidden under this killer suit of armour. the outer armour appeared strong and powerful, but the real person underneath was totally different, frail and weak.
I suppose it's no secret that while I was me at the very heart of my being, but being raised as a boy and expected to be able to fit into that world, to be 'macho' and competitive and strong and unemotional etc. I created a mask in order to fit in, an outer appearance that seemed to fit what I thought I was supposed to be. so as an analogy, I guess I always wanted to remove the 'bio-armour' that I had built up.

 

anyway, being such a big fan of guyver, I built up a website called "chronos' enemy the guyver" and afterwards turned it into guyverboard.

so... things that I  tried to like and actually don't. top gear. I like the show when they go on road trips because i can see beautiful views, but I seriously have zero interest in cars. sports. I tried to get into sports to share it with my best friend, and I do try and watch the welsh rugby now and then. but actually I find it boring as hell. comic books. I tried to get into spiderman and superman and batman etc. I actually know a lot about them, more than I let on most of the time, but I do try and just forget about it really and so I get confused about them.

things that I tried not to like but actually do. dancing. I want to dance. I want to learn freestyle dance and one day maybe cheerleading. flowers. I love to smell flowers and I want to put fake flowers all around my home. teen drama. I used to really hate on shows like one tree hill and dawsons creek etc. but actually I really love those kinds of shows.

actually now I'm taking an interest in 'my little pony' and I'm plannig to watch the whole series.

 

I like the walking dead. I played the video games. three times I think. I also watched season 1 and 2 of the tv series. I love castlevania. I am currently playing grand theft auto v and I really like it.,

my online character is called jess and she came to the city for a change in lifestyle. she doesn't like the people around her that tell her to steal cars, she tries to not follow their example and do things the honest way. she does fraternise with criminals but that's mainly because the ones who aren't criminals don't seem to have any ambition and just go about the day to day with their life never changing. you could almost call them video game characters. but Jess has a plan. she wants to raise money and buy a nice big house and then make a collection of cars.  she isn't normally a fan of cars, but she likes to show up all the boy racers by kicking their ass in races.

I love to improve my cooking ability. my next plan of cuisine to learn about is kimchi. I am a indie game designer. my first game is an action adventure but I may put that on hold in order to bring out a simple puzzle game as that should be quicker to market.  I love Final Fantasy 13 and I totally relate to Lightning. She is very feminine but at the same time she is strong and stoic.

 

I love Thor. He is fit.

 

I think Capta in America in interesting, but I want to see Capta in Japan too. I am a fan of Japan so I'd like to see how Capta would do there.

 

I love Natsume Yuujinchou.

 

I like to talk about interesting things. I've spoken about a lot of interesting topics in the past. things like faith, philosophy, language study, science talk, etc. just exploring complex subjects is very engaging.

I have never really been so interested in general natter, especially about the stuff the guys normally talk about, superheroes, anime shows, call of duty, etc. so I'm not really that active here although somehow I managed to get an insane post count and have no idea how it happened.

so there you go, there is my small non personal brief description.

[Shin Mefilas]

I've called myself Adolphus Strigoi, Waferdanos, Lord Frieza and a lot of other stuff. Why?, well because I can never decide what suits me best so I just keep changing. I think i may have solved the problem but you never can tell.

 

I was born with severe dyslexia and dyspraxia which primarily effects my ability to learn (so basicly I have learning disabilities) along with motor coordination difficulties. I also have Asperger syndrome, a form of Autism. However after years of hard work and a ton of support from family and friends I've learned to work round it to the point that I can have a normal life.

 

As a child I loved dinosaurs and that love has never gone away, I have lots of dinosaur themed games, movies (the first movie I ever saw was jurassic park when it was realised) and novels. I also watch any documentary on the subject and I am currently thinking of buying scientific journals to.

 

I'm am a big lover of  the Alien and Predator franchises, once again got into them as a kid, i have every movie and almost every comic or novel.

 

I got into anime/manga through Guyver and it like the stuff above has been something I liked since I was little.  It also led me to the only other anime/manga I like just as much, Go Nagai's Devilman, thanks to a trailer for its ovas on the first Guyver VHS I ever got  (although I didnt get my hands on the Devilman ova's untill a few years ago). Also thanks to another trailer on this same VHS I also had mys first introduction to another series I like called Mermaid Saga created by Rumiko Takahashi.

 

I Got into Dragon Ball Z back when it first started airing on Cartoon Network I've followed it every since. I'm not really a big shonen lover, the only series I truly like are One Piece and Toriko primarily because they give mean the same feeling as DBZ, but with their own flavor. 

 

Like lots of different anime, old and new. From Dominion Tank Police, Kill la Kill, Big O, Vampire Hunter D, Those Who Hunt Elves, Sorcerer Hunters, Dragon Half, Cutie Honey, Mazinger Z.

 

I don't think it would surprise anyone that I love the Godzilla and King Kong, I also have a ton of other Kaiju movies.

 

I'm like watching horror movies, especially echo horror movies. My favorites are primate horror movies. Monkey Shines, In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro, Congo or just some old cheese Bigfoot movie.

 

Games are like music to me, I dont have a type per say, its just comes down to "do I find it interesting". Some of my favorite game series are Resident Evil and its sister series Dino Crisis (big shocker I know),  Any Alien or Predator games, Metroid, Oddworld, Mortal Kombat, Monster Hunter, most beat em ups and Metal Slug.

 

TV/Movie/Book wise I lean towards sci-fi and fantasy but I'll watch/read anything as long as it interests me.

 

I find most topics interesting and I'm more then happy to talk about anything. Be it complex subjects or simple little chats about nothing.

 

Despite what I've just mentioned I am not an overly nerdy guy, I like playing sport (although I cant stand watching them on tv) and I'm more then happy to meet up with friends at the local pub for a drink. Its just that the stuff mentioned above is what I like.

 

In a way I'm a big contradiction.

 

Sorry of this feels a listy, its just the best way I can tell someone about myself. Sorry if I miss any spelling errors.

[river_chaos]

Well Jupiter, let me formally welcome you to the site.  I am River of Chaos, aka RC (no, not like Transformers Prime Arcee).  I'm an artist that was born with a mild form of Autism, though I ended up getting the much needed help after fighting with my school district to receive said help.  I have learned to live with it and am now about to graduate from college. 

 

I love a good anime with an excellent story line.  I have a decent collection of manga and all sorts of books.  I first got into anime from watching Sailor Moon as a young child, and from there my obsession grew. 

 

In the video games department I tend to stick with Nintendo consoles, but there are a few PS and Xbox games I'll occasionally play.  My favorites so far are: Legend of Zelda OoT, Pokémon, Halo, Gears of War, Harvest Moon, and Sonic the Hedgehog. 

 

I am also a crafts woman that weaves, crochets, and knits. 

 

Overall I'm a nerd from an extremely nerdy family.
