Need-A-Friend Meme!
All right, I've never done a friending meme before, but I was inspired by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ljsecret, of all things. There was a secret in the latest batch that said something about just needing a friend. And really, I think we've all felt that way. Because my friends list is a decent size and full of some really awesome people, I thought I might try to do my own friending meme here. For people who need a friend. Of course, you don't HAVE to need a friend. You might just want a friend! It's all good, as far as I'm concerned. Friends are friends!
So here we go.
★❝NEED♥A♥FRIEND MEME❞★
♥Fill out the little form below.
♥Post it as a comment.
♥Make some new friends!
♥PLEASE PIMP THIS! I know there are loads of cool people out there who could do with a few new friends. Let 'em know!
Please do this, ya'll. I will be so full of sad if I am the only one who participates! And it needs pimping, since a lot of you already know each other. Bring in some new blood! :)

Age: A lowly fifteen.
Some interests/fandoms/ships/etc: I watch Heroes, The Office (Dwight/Angela- the epic romance to end all epic romances), and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia until my eyes roll out of their sockets. See icon for the book and movie series I will constantly yammer, rant, and squee about (as well as, to a lesser extent, Harry Potter).

5 positive things about you: I understand the importance of sarcasm, I have a sense of humor, I'm terrifically shy of e-drama, and I'm fiercely loyal. Also, I have great aim with a rifle in case you need someone taken down.
5 negative things about you: I talk excessively, can be a snob, have a highly obsessive personality, always cut my nails so low that they almost bleed, and kind of look like a transvestite when I wear a dress.
What's your journal like?: I post frequently, but it's usually about the randomest stuff. I'm generally a happy person, so most of it is pretty cheerful, but (more than) occasionally I feel the need to cut somebody with my pen- er, keyboard.
Why should we friend you?: Because LJ's a lonely place to be without friends.
Tell us something awesome: I ate pizza, plums, and peanut butter for dinner last night, just to prove to my father that eating a meal with foods all starting with the same letter is possible. SUCCESS.
