The LiveJournal Survey!
ABOUT YOU / YOUR JOURNAL
What is your LiveJournal username? How did you come up with it?
Evanae. It was when I realized that I needed a "nickname" of sorts, not only for cosplay (which I was starting to get into at the time) but that I couldn't use "artsigurl" everywhere cuz how dated it was due to the spelling. So here I am driving to who knows where, an Evanescence song comes up on the radio and I'm like "Evanescence...Evane...*throws in an 'a'*...heeeyy..." The funny thing is, I don't even like Amy Lee. 8D;
Have you renamed before? If so, what were your old names? If you haven't renamed, what names would you want to rename to?
Never renamed before. I dunno what I'd rename to either cuz I've never really thought about it.
How much does your userinfo say about you?
Enough to have several adjectives to describe my dorky self.
How long have you been on LiveJournal?
Since 2004. :O
What is the longest amount of time you've gone without posting?
A few weeks.
On average, how many entries do you post per day? (Divide how many total entries you have by how many days you've been on LJ.)
...er what? 1 to 2 prolly?
What are your posts normally about?
Life, cosplay, memes.
Is your LiveJournal friends only? Why or why not?
It's semi-friends cuz all entries deemed private are friends locked. I've been thinking of putting one of those banners up...
Does your LiveJournal have an actual title or are you merely USER @ LiveJournal?
It's Orangey (another nickname of mine that's a bit of a inside joke, I can tell you if you ask) atm cuz I couldn't think of anything when I changed it and now I'm too lazy to bother. But it could be called "The Boy vs. The Cynic" cuz that's what my layout image says.
How long do you see yourself staying on LiveJournal?
I dunno. As long as I enjoy keeping a journal. I'm usually horrible at this but somehow LJ (or maybe it's you guys on my f/l) has kept me updating pretty consistently.
ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSLIST
How many people are on your friendslist, not counting private journals, media journals, etc?
54.
Why do you choose to add a person to your friendslist?
Cuz they're cool enough to hang out w/ me...or is the other way around?
Is your friendslist an actual list of people you consider friends, or more of a reading list?
I consider them all friends. <3~
How often do you read your friendslist?
Pretty much every day.
Do you use filters when viewing your friendslist?
Does separating LJ comms from friendslist ppl count?
How much do you talk to people on your friendslist off of LiveJournal?
Depends on who they are.
Do you do friends cuts? Why or why not?
I haven't needed to yet cuz like...I don't have that many ppl. Though I could prolly delete several ppl cuz they haven't updated in like a year or more.
Do you regularly participate in friending memes? If not, how do you normally find people to friend?
I'm not even sure what those are so uh no? I don't exactly meet someone and ask "Hey, do you have an El Jay? 8D" but I guess I kinda stalk 'em (well the cosplayers I meet) in a way cuz most likely if they do have one, it'll be on their like cos.com profile or whatever.
How often do you add new friends to your friendslist?
Prolly mostly after a con or something. I don't have many RL friends that're still using LJ, they moved on to MySpace (ewwww).
Do your friends have to have things in common with you?
Nah, not really but I think there should be something in common to some extent or else why would you friend that person, y'know?
ABOUT YOUR ICONS / USERPICS
How many userpics do you get maximum? How many of those slots do you actually use?
I had 100 or so but it expired and I never used up to that amnt so I didn't bother renewing. As of now it's 39/40.
Do you mostly use icons made by yourself or by others?
Not mostly but there are a few I made myself.
Do you have your own icon community? How often do you post in it?
Nope.
What fandoms are most frequently seen in your userpics?
As of now, it's a split b/w HanaKimi, Dogs, and Tsubasa w/ a smattering of DN, KH, and random fandoms.
How do you find icons to use?
I either wait for a comm to post a batch and proceed to peruse that, search for it, or make them.
How often do you upload new icons to use in your userpics?
Not that often. I'll do it if more than a few are starting to bore me.
Which of your userpics do you use the most?
Default's there cuz I'm usually too lazy to pick another icon. XD
Which of your userpics do you like the most?
No real fave, I like them all to some extent. Why else would I use them? XD
The old minimum number of userpics was three. Could you see yourself "surviving" on three userpics now?
Prolly not...I need at least a dozen or 20. D:
What do your userpics say about you?
That I seem to be mostly an angry person. I have too many disgruntled icons. I've been trying to add more range of emotions though...
ABOUT YOUR FANDOMS
How many fandom communities are you a part of?
A few.
Do you join fanfic or icon communities or only the general communities?
A few of both.
How many fandom communities do you moderate?
None.
How often do you check fandom communities for new posts?
Almost every day.
Do you contribute to fandom? If so, by way of what?
No, not really. I'm totally a taker. XD;
Which fandoms are you most active in?
None really. I may have my random obsessed phases every now and then.
What do your choice of fandoms say about you?
I like more shounen....and also man love. Hrm.
Do you make friends based on fandom?
I don't spaz that much so I haven't really.
Have you ever read (or been featured on) fandom_wank?
Lol, not to my knowledge, but like I said, I never post so there wouldn't be a reason, would there? 8D;
What is one thing you wish you could change about fandom?
To make it have less extremely obsessed socially inept crazies that freak you out and embarass you for having somethign in common w/ that. o__o;

Lawl. Man love. <33

Date: 2008-03-11 04:54 am (UTC)Alskdjfaljf RIGHT? I knew I had a lot of Office icons but kind of didn't realize how many of them were Ryan icons until today. UHH. CORPORATE TAKE OVER. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
A couple of the research texts I picked up for a stupid school project discuss why slash fans are into fictional male bonking. IT'S ACTUALLY VERY INTERESTING READING MATERIAL--and thus distracts me from reading what I'm supposed to for class. FAIL. XD;;;

Why do us fangirls slash men?

Date: 2008-03-11 05:40 am (UTC)Ryan is so underhanded. I love him anyway.
RE: Why do us fangirls slash men?
AND I QUOTE, "Slash readers do not display a literal wish to become male, Russ argues, or even necessarily an over-valuing of masculine experience, so much as they construct a realm where questions about who is the man and who is the woman cannot even be asked. Just as Stoltenberg calls for men to refuse masculinity as a constraint on their sexual identity, Russ claims that slash allows women to refuse the dominant social construction of femininity, to imagine a love that is entirely free of the culture's whole discourse of gender and sex roles...
Slash turns that subtext into the dominant focus of the new texts. Slash throws conventional notions of masculinity into crisis by removing the barriers blocking the realization of homosocial desire; slash unmasks the erotics of male friendship, confronting the fears keeping men from achieving intimacy... Such an account also may explain the relative scarcity of lesbian slash, since, as Sedwig suggests, women have historically enjoyed a more fluid movement through the homosocial continuum. As a slash writer explains, "Most women in fandom have longstanding female friendships... if we want to see strong female-female relationships, all we have to do is look in our own lives. Slash is something way out there--a total fantasy. Not many of us know men who incorporate this ideal bonding into their relationships and that's what we want to see."
I pretty much agree with this assessment. :P
