Hello teamliquid. I am here to introduce myself to all of you. I have been away from the internet for about 8 or 9 months now, and away from Starcraft for over a year. I left Starcraft because I had to concentrate on looking for a job in order to support my family. A few months later we were unable to continue to pay our internet bill, and it was shut off.

Circumstances have changed recently and I will have internet again soon (my boyfriend is paying for it) and am rather excited about this blog section in TL. I think I'll have fun using it. So here goes.

Real name: April
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Location: Stockton, CA, USA
Race: Zerg
Playing since: 2000
BNet names: USWest- Niji[Shock] // USEast- LadyZerg // ICCup- Niji[Shock]
Former akas: USWest- neKo[cK], drOp.XtC, Only)SprinG, IA-poOfy, NrG.Niji
Skill level: I totally suck D:

I started playing Starcraft when I was 14, and I've been hooked ever since. I've never really played any other online games besides Starcraft because to me, nothing compares, and I have a great love for this game that has been a big part of a good portion of my life.

I do have a few other hobbies.

I like to read, mostly fantasy, sci-fi, and thrillers. My favorite book is "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett.

I like to draw and use photoshop for my art. I'm not that great with PS, but I try. I go on a site that a few of you probably know about, which is called gaiaonline.com. I do avatar art for 'gaia gold' and can probably safely say that my art is in very high demand and I make a small fortune from it. My account on gaia is 'Synonymous'.

I went to college for a couple years at a local community college, and at first had the plan of majoring in computer science. I changed it to Japanese language. I have a fascination with other languages and cultures, especially asian ones. If I ever succeed in becoming fluent in Japanese (which is a lot harder than I thought it'd be) I would like to also learn Chinese and Korean. I can speak, read and write Japanese at probably a low intermediate level.

I am obsessed with music, and I mostly like rock. I know that's broad, but I was never good at classifying music. Most of the music I like is Japanese, as is my favorite band, L'Arc~en~Ciel. I also like progressive rock bands like Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Rush, and Camel.

I know that if I type too much, no one will read this, so I'll just end by saying I hope to work up to a semi-decent rank on ICCup, and I'm taking up any offers if anyone wants to help train my zerg. I really need it. This time around I am going to try some new approaches to my training because I never got very far in the past and progressed very slowly.

I hope to be able to game/chat with some of you. Thanks for reading. Bye~

****

Unfortunately the picture of you in the member's database is fake because I've seen MySpace whores use it ):

Unless you are the original girl off of whom everyone faked, which is highly unlikely.

intrigue: I missed the Otakon too, because I didn't know about them at the time. I was fortunate enough to see HYDE during his Faith tour in San Fransisco, though.

fanatacist: Please tell me you are joking. Can you show me one of those MySpace pages? I really doubt there are other people using my picture on the internet and claiming it is them... but if they are that's really troubling. >_<

I believe the paranoia is justified. We all know girls don't exist on the internet.

Seriously though, welcome back Niji-z. You have good music taste...

My friend has a few of them, I will try to contact him ASAP to confirm it. Sorry in advance if it's not you, I was quick to judge, but I swear I've seen that picture around 2-3 years ago under someone else's name, and they've since turned out to be a fake. It's not girls on the internet paranoia, just previous experience.

Once again, really sorry if I made a mistake.

ulszz: Yes that would be great. I desperately need the practice.

Elric: Thanks, some of the music I like is good. Some sucks but I still like it. :D

fanatacist: It's okay. I'd be the same way.

Russ: LOLHI. I had no idea you were on TL. Shows how much I know about this place. I haven't played SC in a year so... I don't know. I think it could go either way. I'll give you a ring on MSN when I get net at my place.

ilovezil: Oh, good idea. Why didn't I ever think of that before? -_-... Which reminds me, I owe you a sign Russ. I forgot what you wanted it to say, though.

Here's something I did recently for my bf who plays CS (not as good as your stuff):

Thanks for understanding.

On a different note, I am around D/D+ on ICCup and I am on USEast frequently under BNU-Silence. If you see me around and need some practice, I'll try to give constructive criticism if I win and if I lose well I'll be a confidence booster n_n.

I was in fact wrong. Here is the picture from 2-3 years ago that I was talking about, my friend just sent it to me; he has it coupled with the picture of what the "girl" actually looked like. Talk about fucked up:

Well I'm glad it wasn't true. And I'll make a pic with a sign just for clarifications sake once I actually get internet at my house. Oh, and we should definately game. That'd be fun. I'll get in touch with you about that later. Maybe as soon as tomorrow even.

Kurt always tried to get me to join NrG. Then I finally decided I would, he wouldn't let me. Probably because my skill declined by leaps and bounds by time I decided to join up.

What was your NrG name Metal?

on the other hand X Japan is one of my all-time favourite bands so if you are interested in the language without fawning over the retarded comedies geared towards japanese youths that most 21 year old anime psychos try to pass off as 'japanese humor' and not 'children's programming' well then kudos to you

Haha. That's great. I am mostly just interested in learning other languages since I would like to be a translator/interpreter. Japanese just seemed the obvious first choice because of the music I listen to. And yes, X Japan is awesome.

Oh no. I hope you didn't just say what I think you said. Zerg is definately the coolest race by far.

Actually, my half brother played zerg, and so my brother copied him, and I copied my brother. But now I won't play anything else. I love the zerg.
