heureviolet suggested it, so I decided to give it a go. Everyone can use a little bit more Animorphs love on their friends lists, so comment and friend away! Feel free to pimp as you see fit. You can even hotlink the banner.

Added! :) There's a questionnaire here (http://odette-river.livejournal.com/106821.html) for you to fill out, if you choose. It helps keep me organized, lol.
If I had to choose a favorite book I would be split between PoA and A Ring of Endless Light. I guess I'd choose PoA, because I've read it more times than I can count over the years. I love it mostly because I love Sirius dearly. Even after Order of the Phoenix he was most of the reason I was a fan of the series.
And Dark Tower is awesome, but I warn you the last three lack something. They're still worth reading, but Sai King waited too long. They didn't turn out right and even he acknowledges it. A lot of people say the same about Wizard and Glass, but I love it.
Out of curiousity, did you read the original version of The Gunslinger or the updated one? What do you think of either/both?
And I am not ashamed of my Hanson loving! At least not on a group for an old kids' book series (though an awesome one!). The Walk is fucking awesome!
Strange place for Alabama to be representing, huh? Rather statistically weird.

Fandoms: Cardcaptor Sakura primarily; also xxxHOLiC, various book and anime fandoms (I have a list) Favorite Characters: The frist time I read the series, it was Cassie. Now I thin it's Jake. Least Favorite Characters: I liked all the characters pretty much, but I'm just "meh" over Elfangor. Favorite Ships: Marco/Rachel is surprisingly cute... Rachel/Cassie seems interesting. I also like Jake/Cassie. Least Favorite Ships: I don't really do yaoi in any of my fandoms. Favorite Music: Taylor Swift, They Might Be Giants, various musicals Favorite Books: Animorphs, plus Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, and the stuff on the list Favorite Movies: I just saw "Get Smart" and adored it. Favorite Celebrities: I don't really follow celebrities much, but I adore Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, and Anne Hathaway. Other interests: writing, computers What do you look for in a livejournal friend? Someone interesting to read. I don't necessary comment often. Please do not add me if... you mind at least one post a day, you bash Christians, you hate reading about someone's personal life, or you don't like gay people. Journal Status (public, friends-only, semi-public): friends-only What do you post about?: life, fandom, books, movies~ a lot of writing memes Anything Else?: You could look at my friends-only post.
I'm thinking I got the update of The Gunslinger. I discovered the books rather late in the game, since (if I remember correctly) all my friends who are big King fans had already finished the entire series. I was very impressed by it because it kept my interest because it was such a solitary story (yeah, Jake was there but it felt like Roland was alone for so much of it) but kept up the action really well.
I am mocked a bit occasionally for liking Hanson, but I tell people to bite me. :x I've heard The Walk and can't wait til I'm not so broke and can get it!
I'm really not that interesting, but I like reading interesting journals, so if you have one, add me and I might post a witty comment every once and a while!

Name: Shellbie (Sueko works tooooo) Age: Eighteen Location: Washington state Something unique about you: I'm crazy. Wait, that's not original? Um... But I'm really weird! And over think everything! IDK :B Fandoms: Avatar the Last Airbender, Cardcaptor Sakura, Digimon (all seasons), Disney, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, House, Princess Tutu... that's all I really look through/participate in. I love all kinds of stuff though. D: Lots of WEIRD things. Favorite Characters: In... Animorphs? Tobias was my fav ever 'cause I had a crush on him as a kid lol but I like Marco too! And Jake~~ For other things... too many to list. I like interesting characters and a sense of humour is nice (like Marco). I really like seeing the psychology of a person so any story that explores that is awesome. Like Hamlet or something. :B Least Favorite Characters: Well, I don't really dislike any of the Animorph characters, but Cassie can be "blah" at times and Rachel can get annoying at times. And I feel bad for saying that because I do love them dearly. D: And...I really rarely dislike characters. I'm really apathetic like that. Favorite Ships: I guess... as a kid I liked Rachel/Tobias but I like any ship now. I don't read any fanfiction but I seriously don't mind things like Marco/Ax or something. Least Favorite Ships: Um. Well. Tobias/Ax can't be shipped together in my head. It's brotherly D: And Rachel/Cassie doesn't really work for me either. IDK. I don't really pay attention/care about shipping. Too apathetic. I just go with the canon ones, lol. Favorite Music: Rock...? I like 80s music, I like Indie, I like Britpop (is that what it's called? IDK) and some Japanese music is okay. I'm not very picky with music. Favorite Books: Besides Animorphs and Harry Potter? :B Well, I like Neil Gaiman stuff. Lots of fantasy novels, a few sci-fi. Favorite Movies: Besides Disney... Lord of the Rings, X-men, Kate and Leopold... I watch a lot of action movies, but I like fantasy/sci-fi too. Favorite Celebrities: Harrison Ford and Hugh Jackman. :B Other interests: I like writing? And watching movies and doing random research on just about anything and I love languages and culture and music. I'm getting more interested in video games recently, although I really are not able to play very many. D: Sigh. I wanna play more Zelda games. What do you look for in a livejournal friend? As long as you're rather friendly and like some of the things I like, and understand that I am rather shy/apathetic and might not comment so much and are all right with that... that's okay. I don't mind very much if you don't comment a lot either (just do it once and a while just so I know you still actually care and are not just too lazy to defriend me or something). Please do not add me if... Well. If you only talk about one or two subjects I dont have an interest for that would be annoying. And if you're going to rant constantly about things I do like while showing no respect to me about the fact I actually LIKE those things, that's not fun. But I doubt you're like that. D: Open mindedness is really nice too. Journal Status (public, friends-only, semi-pulbic): Pretty much public. About 90% so. What do you post about?: Usually school, and the lastest thing I've watched or something. Anything Else?: Hmm. None that I know. I don't like listing things because I don't really know what I like the most. But I like TONS of things. I love all sorts of movies and TV shows and books. I wish I could watch more but sometimes I'm limited. I have a pretty open mind and can like just about anything. I'd love recomendations for some movies or books and to talk about some stuff. :B I don't know what to put here, but someone to really talk to would be super duper awesome.
I could use some more Doctor Who friends and from checking your communities it looks like we have some common ships there. Add?
And in response to your query, I can't answer for everyone in general but to me: no. If I don't want people to respond I'll disallow comments on a post.

I also enjoy Degrassi, Babysitters club, Higher Ground, grey's Anatomy, House, Buffy, Smallville, and probably several other WB/UPN shows I'm forgetting. Favorite Characters: Marco, for the snark. Jake, for the tortured leader angst. Tobias, for the emo. Least Favorite Characters: I never really warmed up to Ax. I love him in all books that weren't his own, but he was never a favorite narrater of mine. Favorite Ships: Het wise, Tobias/Rachel. Sometimes I ship Marco/Jake, too. Oh, and Ax/Marco. Marco. Rachel/Melissa would be cute as well, IMO. Favorite Music: Pop rock, soft rock. Maria Mena, Goo goo dolls, Idina Menzel, Everclear Favorite Books: Drama.
