Hey guys, I'm a new member and you can call me Goggles. *extends a hand*
I don't remember exactly how I got here but I'm pretty sure I came in through the fanfic section. I've been clicking links half-asleep this morning, I think, when I came across the forums and it looks nice and active so I decided to register.
Hm, I guess some more digi-related info about me is appropriate at this point. I'm nineteen years old and a BS Mathematics student at the 'Wonderful and Majestic' (I find it funny how some college people get such big heads when they get in) University of the Philippines. I can confirm that you can never really know how beautiful and nice math really is until you become a math major. Of course, at some point you'd realize there are three two possible outcomes - you're either going to conquer the subject, end up jumping off the math building, or blowing up a professor's car.
Digimon dubs (in local language) aired in a local channel here when I was a kid, around 8 or 9 years old I think, but the schedule didn't fit mine so I couldn't watch it. Around five years later, when I was in highschool an English dub of Adventure aired in cable channels. (though not the American version I think, voices are different from the ones in Youtube and such) Needless to say I got hooked and often come to school at the nick of time because I watch the episodes, then come rushing back home to catch the replay (I'm insane, I know). But as the last episode was about to air, my parents canceled cable subscription. Oh, what a scorned little brat I was when they did it, haha.
Fast forward to April 2009. I was flipping through channels on cable (we got it back by then) one day and chanced on a double-episode airing of Frontier (also in local language). It was love all over again with me watching it every time it came on, replay or not. I missed the first week of classes (due to chickenpox, I'm not that obsessed) but I got to watch the last four episodes of the series. (yayz!)
Right now they're airing 02 episodes discreetly hidden in the 6am timeslot (yes, 6 in the wonderful morning) and I'm trying to keep myself from staying too long on the machine at night so I can wake up early.
Earlier, I tried my hand at writing a fic, creating a digimon and a partner for it, but my thirteen-year-old self can only come so far before losing interest. Around May last year I tried again, this time more successfully (though I still haven't finished yet because of schoolwork and crap I'm dealing with, last update was November I think) with an AgunimonXOC romance. Yes, I delved into the forbidden practice of DigiXDigi. I'm also helping as editor for a collab fic atm. But the captain's busy moving so we're holding off from publishing chapters, though we do have some ready for posting.
So I guess that's it. Thanks for reading and I hope to have fun here discussing/arguing/doing pointless stuff with you guys. If you don't mind, I have to go back and study for hell week. Or at least get ready for class. Cheers! ( ^^)b
