Welcome to Sarah Lynne's little bit of MAL space. It's in this little space where I yack about myself. If you want, take a gander; if not, *shrug* your choice. But I'm weird and cracked so you might get a laugh. :) This "About Me" thingie is going to be a continous work in progress and experimentation area, so if you don't like what you see, keep in mind it'll change eventually. I'm not that artsy, so I probably won't get elaborate with graphics (probably just going to be some simple piccies thrown in) but I'll see what color I can throw in here. Enjoy! XD
EDIT #2 (3/28/2017): After a long hiatus from anime, I've started watching again with some regularity. I've even given some thought to reviewing anime again (already have one pounded out). My extent of participation in other aspects of anime fandom still up in the air, not too sure that'll pick up. I'll try to keep more up to date on getting back on friend requests/comments. So yeah, back to more anime. :)
EDIT (10/12/2010): My interest in participating in anime fandom has become a hazy and sweet memory of my youth. I'm just a casual watcher now. Most of my time and energy has moved on to other hobbies and fandoms. So if you send a friend request or leave a message, please don't take it personally if I take forever to reply. My life has moved in other directions. I mostly use this site now to keep track of what I've watched, what's next on my to watch dockit, and to keep up on what's new coming out. Thank you.
Hobbies outside anime: reading/reviewing, history, cemetery and ghost town exploring, traveling, hiking, photography, genealogy, geocaching, vintage photography collecting

Some back story:
Raised all over the country, I'm part military brat (the air force side of the family). I have my mom still living and two sisters + one brother + one brother-in-law + and two demanding pooches, Koda the corgi and Scooter the border terrier. I quibbled around in college and wasted time until my dad's death 10 years ago in a motorcycle accident when I did some thinking and finally decided a course. I now have a degree in Library and Information Science, obtained from the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls. I currently work as a receptionist in a neurology clinic in MT.
anime history:
I first watched anime when Scifi had those movies on really early morning, think that was back in '94(?). I was 12 watching Vampire Hunter D and Akira.... *headdesk* maybe that's why I'm warped..... Then it was Sailor Moon and Dragonball around '97... whenever it hit Cartoon Network. The clincher was Fushigi Yuugi in '98 when my little sister's friend loaned her the fansubs on VHS up to episode 39. To say that I was completely and utterly hooked was an understatement. After FY, it was a downhill slide with Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshi, Ai no Kusabi, Ronin Warriors..... the list continues..... Attended my first con in 2000 (Sakura Con). Went again in 201 and 2008. Now I just watch anime when I feel like it and enjoy the vast array of choices now available. :)
What I look for and avoid in anime (to a point anyway):
Basically if something catches my interest, I'll give it a shot. I've watched something from many genres, from sports to pure comedy to romantic shoujo fluff to a couple ecchi (which I try to wipe from memory..... *shudder*). So *shrug*, if I like, I'll watch; if not, I'll drop. But here are some.....
Likes: drama, something that makes my heart bleed, sing, or shout in anger, plot, some comedy (as long as it's a part of something else), historically linked, YAOI! (fangirl moment there... please excuse), shounen-ai, supernatural themes, themes about death (don't ask please.), newer sports/genre entries with attractive character design, attractive character designs period (yes, this means bishonen, I'll admit it. Bring on the pretty boys!!), beautiful and haunting music, almost anything character and relationship driven
Dislikes: hentai and ecchi!! (the biggest dislike), pure comedy with no other aspect to save it, most harem-type animes, a huge amount of filler episodes, excessive panty and boob shots, pure fighting and action animes
So while I've got likes and dislikes, I've been known to deviate from time to time and give something a shot that I've disliked before. However, the above are pretty key to why I watch different animes.
Friend requests:
If you feel like it, sure. I don't spend a whole lotta time socializing on MAL anymore, but I'm not against friending casually. Just please keep this in mind in the amount of time it might take me to get back to ya, friending request or comments. Thanks. :)
Aha. Well, I'm almost in my 30s and I love Sebastian. Ahaha. I don't think your ratings would waver that much. BTW, are you into BL? If yes then would you suggest some decent series for me? Preferably in dub. I don't like watching subs.
