Flighty Dreams and Harebrained Schemes {PortgasDAce}

Post by PortgasDAce » 22 Nov 2019, 08:52

Hi you guys. I'm a typically introverted person, but I've been trying to get more comfortable chatting with people by roaming around social media. I thought I'd try my hand at making a journal to get to know you guys, and to practice my social skills. :)


Name: My real name is Alex, but you can call me that or Ace or any fun nickname you can come up with.
Age: 31

Location: United states (Michigan)

Hobbies: Other than watching anime, I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos and catching up with shows on Hulu (E.g.: Empire and Grey's Anatomy)

Occupation: NEET at the moment. I have no idea where I'll end up job-wise.

Favorite Things: Food (I love Italian and fried chicken, but budget wise ramen with ketchup and Hungry Man fried chicken dinners have become my comfort food), traveling, reddit reaction videos on YouTube. I don't get to see them often, but I love going to see musicals.

Random Facts: I read and re-read One-Piece self-insert fanfiction featuring a certain fire-wielding pirate, and not all of it's safe for work. *lol*

Random Fact #2: I have a boyfriend of 8 years.

Let me know if there's anything you're curious about! I don't really have any rules here, I just want to chat with you guys. :) Hopefully I have some interesting things to add about my daily life at some point. XD

It's good to be here!

Thank you! Sometimes I have trouble coming up with things to add. *lol*

As for musicals, I want to say Wicked and Phantom of the Opera are my favorites. How about you?

I know it's hard trying to think of what to say in these sorts of things!

My ultimate fave is Wicked too :D I even have a Wicked tattoo :lol: I also love Hamilton, DEH and Heathers.

Ooh, what does the tattoo look like?

I've had the Hamilton playlist on my YouTube for ages and I still haven't listened to it yet. *lol* I'm such a bum! I heard DEH was another good one too. I haven't heard Heathers yet either. Looks like I'm going to have a lot of new music for my I-pod. *lol*

Yeah, it's pretty cold over here. Although I just went out in shorts because I was too lazy to change. *lol*

How's the weather your way?

So I went to the dollar store today with $10, so I was feeling rich. *lol* I ended up getting apple juice, orange slices (candy), cookies, cupcakes, cashews, 2 bags of Milky ways, and 3 bags of Hershey kisses (Cookies and Cream). I got a bag of Sour Cream and Onion chips too. Gotta have that self-care. XD

Well you know. all the leaves are brown and the sky is gray. It's like that. Every day. It's either moist and mildly cold or windy and very cold.

Everyone needs self-care. Certain people here need to learn that.
