[Kalylia]

Um, Hello everyone.


I go by Kalylia almost everywhere on the internet.  I'm a little nervous to be here, as I'm such a newbie to this world.  I guess now is where I introduce myself.  You'll have to forgive my long-winded nature.  I honestly can't help myself sometimes.


I don't know a whole lot about the furry world.  I'm just starting to reach out to the community and get my toes wet.  I don't have a real "fursona" yet.  I've always had a very close connection with nature (I'm actually Pagan), and I guess falling in love with furries is an extension of that.  I'm hoping to learn a lot from my stay here on the forums and hopefully meet some accepting and understanding people, as I'm not entirely sure I understand this part of myself yet.


I guess you'd like to know a little more about me?


I'm a 23-year-old college student living in Fargo, North Dakota, also known as American Hoth.  I live with my husband, who is the absolute love of my life.  Rounding out our family are our boys, a domestic longhair cat, Shango (Darth Shango Fett, lord of the Cat-Sith) and a Shetland Sheepdog, Antilles.  I'm studying Mass Communications and English as my majors, and East Asian Studies for my minor.  I'm set to graduate in about a year and a half.  I struggle with Major Depressive Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but am slowly learning to not let them control my life.  I'm rather unconventional in a lot of ways other than my budding love for furries, including my Pagan faith system and being unabashedly bisexual.


I'm also a total geek.  No, I'm not even kidding.  When I graduate from college, I want to become a gaming and anime journalist.  I'm already running my own website (with another geek girl) that is currently mostly a podcast, though we're hoping to start adding blog content soon.  I love video games, anime, tabletop RPGs, card games, board games, fantasy, science fiction, comics, just about everything and anything that's even remotely nerdy, I'm there.  My favorite video games include Mass Effect, Skyrim, and Pokemon.  My favorite animes include Madoka Magica, Kiddy Grade, and ANYTHING by Miyazaki.  I'd be very hard-pressed to choose favorite novels, but I think I know deep in my heart it's Harry Potter all the way.


Anything else you'd like to know? ^^7

Ah, welcome to the forums!

Its great to have another Pagan on the forums as well (Although I'm not sure what type I am, but I have a feeling that I'm Eclectic)
How long have you been following your path? For me, its been about six months. Maybe you can take me under your wing?

 You'll have to teach me more about Asia! I feel like I'm just another otaku if I say that I love the Japanese culture, even though I do but I feel like I barley know much about it (Yea, I know more than the average citizen, but not as much as I should) From my knowledge though I love it, they just make sense to me.

POKIEHMAN! Which versions do you have?
Once I get the Wi-Fi back working on it, feel free to add my FC, just tell me ok?

And Miyazaki is a personal favorite too! Which one of his movies do you like the best? I think for me, its close between Spirited Away (That's the one that got me into his movies) and Princess Mononoke.

So, hope to see you around here, enjoy your stay

You like Miyazaki too? are you gonna see the new movie coming out based on the borrowers of his?

Im Macid the diamond Lynx and I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy it here.

[Kalylia]

Oh good, some people ready my giant post!

WingedZephyr - Thank you for the welcome! ;3


Macid - I DO enjoy Miyazaki!  I hope to go see his new film if it ends up coming to the theater in Fargo.  If it doesn't, there's always DVDs!


TheRedeemed - I grew up Christian (Lutheran) and when I started college, I began exploring my own spirituality to find a faith that truly fit me.  I fully came to Paganism about three years ago.  I'm still very green and am learning a lot.  I study and research all the time. *laughs* I guess that's part of being a nerd.


As for my Pokemon games, I own a ton of them.  SoulSilver, HeartGold, Black, White, Platinum, Diamond.  And those are just the DS versions!  Though Black is my current cart (White /technically/ is my husbands. )


I'm hard-pressed to choose a favorite Miyazaki film.  I love them all, really.  Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind are probably my top 3 though.

For a shy smile, this is probably the most informative introductory post I've ever seen here. Welcome to the forum. I'm Jovi, one of the only equines around these parts. I hope you enjoy it here! 

[Kalylia]

Hello, Jovi!  I love your avatar.  Friesans are so beautiful.  I love horses, I had one in high school. ^.^

Welcome to the forums! Im Dingo
North Dakota huh? Ive driven through there multiple times, my brother went to college there for 2 years...American Hoth Indeed!!

(Nods) I hear a lot about Howl's Moving Castle... I should give that a watch, I guess.

As for Pokemon, I only have White for the DS (I followed everyone else that said that it was an "old game for kids", and I regret it. I like Pokemon themselves better though, like the species. GOD I WISH THEY WERE REAL!)
