Intro & Welcome

[bunnyboo]

Hello, everyone! Call me Bunny or Bun. I'm new to DW. I'm still figuring out who's active and how to interact with people, so please forgive any awkwardness. I was too young for LJ back in the day and have mostly been a forum user, so the DW community will be interesting to learn!

Most of my posts are friends-only, but it's ok to ask for access by commenting here.

Public posts:

• Currently reading ("Progress on...")   and Finished Reading ("Finished... & Thoughts")
• Challenge posts (Snowflake Challenge)
• Bingin' Buffy ("Season # thus far up to..." and "Season # Wrap-up") and maybe other television recaps in the future
• Plot bunnies and general writing
• Tea time posts

Friends-only posts:

Hello! Welcome to DW I hope you enjoy it. (And don't worry about awkwardness, I was awkward too when I first started using this site but everyone is so nice)

[bunnyboo]

Thank you for the kind welcome! Everyone has been great so far. DW is very different than anything I've used before (my internet journey goes forums -> tumblr) so I'm still trying to find my niche.

Again, thank you!

Hi! I saw your post in addme, but I always think it's a bit more personal to bring first interactions to a journal. That way if we become good friends, we can look back at this thread and laugh about it.

We share a lot of interests (true crime and video games to start with) though I'm very interested in watching your BJD journey. I like to collect various things and while BJD are of interest, they would be sooo hard for me to transport when I immigrate so I will stick to admiring the care others place into their own.

[bunnyboo]

I don't mind you bringing this to my journal! :) Right now, I only have the one BJD (which will be here in January hopefully) but I'm interested in more potentially if I like the hobby.

What kind of things do you collect? I collect pigs - figurines, piggy banks, toys, etc.

[ai]

I saw that you had posted about it. What a cute one to be picking up... I didn't even know they made BJD of animals so it's really sweet to see.

I collect enamel pins, acrylic charms, figurines, bags, and my weakness: cherry blossom releases from Starbucks. Taiwan and Korea always have the cutest little designs so I love buying them LOL.

[bunnyboo]

That's so neat! I have a few enamel pins myself (mostly promotional stuff) and loved them as a teenager.

I just looked up the cherry blossom merchandise. Oh my goodness. So freaking cute! Definitely worth collecting.

[ai]

Older enamel pins are so much fun. I have a few from my grandpa that were also promotional things (cigarette companies, I think a couple from IBM where he taught at, etc) so it's been awesome to see them make a come back.

The cherry blossom stuff is a weakness for sure. I love cute accessories like that.

Hello! Just thought I'd say hi - found your journal through the latest things page :) I've been here maybe half a year now having been a tumblr user for years, but DW has been enjoyable for me so far and I hope you like it too! Your reading list looks interesting too, as much as I like reading I don't think I've read anything on there!

[bunnyboo]

Thank you for your kind and gracious welcome! I've only been using DW for about a month now, but the people are really great. I never had a general use tumblr, only for various fandoms, but I do like how relaxed everyone here is.

If you're interested in any of the books on my reading list, a lot of them are in the public domain now! (At least anything by Jane Austen) I've subscribed to you as well. It seems like we have similar interests. :) Nice to meet you!

Hey, checked out your journal after the hilarious guinea pig pics. lol I'm new to DW too. Been using it since December, though I had a different one where I only ever uploaded exchange letters. I like the calm vibe here. I've read a bunch of the books on your reading list for the year and would be interested in hearing your thoughts on them as you progress. I'm not doing Inking It Out, but I also have a 75K goal for Get Your Words Out this year. Want to add each other?

[bunnyboo]

!

Sure thing! :)

Hi, Bunny. I am deeply sorry for my sudden leave for several months. Hope you can forgive me. I would love to come back in your reading list. I always appreciated your endless support.

[bunnyboo]

Of course! I hope you're doing well. Don't feel bad about leaving. If it was what was best for you, then you made the right choice. :)

[moosette]

I am doing better right now. It was not the best of the best. I needed to leave for a time.
