I deleted my original post so as to not clutter things unnecessarily.

Name: That's a secret. :D
Nickname: Zelly.
Age: 24
Birthday: 23 August.
Gender: Female
Location: SC, USA.
Occupation: Jack-of-all-trades? Currently a forensics student, and dying from boredom of it.
Languages Spoken: English is my native tongue, but I can scrounge up some pitiful Japanese. I used to know Latin, too, but seem to be failing at it as of late.
Religion: None.
Relationship Status: Single, kthx.
Piercings/tattoos: I've had several piercings in the past, but currently only my ears have holes in them. I have two tattoos (what does this have to do with getting a penpal?).
Do you want more LiveJournal friends? I'm currently on hiatus until I get my router, but whatever blows your skirt up.

About Me: I'm short and cranky, and devour books as if they're my sustenance.

Main Interests: Reading, singing, drawing, video games, movies, role-playing, writing, being terrible with money, cosplay, hideous clothes (seriously, my wardrobe gets strange comments).

Music: Anything offensive to the senses. Nah, I listen to a lot of Japanese rock, but some British and American, too (Dir en grey, QOTSA, PORTISHEAD--stuff like that).

Books: I'll read pretty much anything, except romance and westerns. I despise Twilight, so fans of that probably wouldn't want to have anything to do with me. Yes, I read the set, and watched the movie, and I see no merit whatsoever in it. Please don't harass me about that, because you're not going to change my opinion. ^^;

Movies: Good or bad, I'll watch it. I love movies. :D

Pen Pal Information:
How many pen pals do you have?: 3.
How many do you want?: Whatever.
Do you want email pals? No thanks.
Do you want snail-mail pen pals?: Yes~.
How long does it take you to reply to a letter? Usually as soon as I get it, but if forensics is crushing the life out of me, it might take up to a week for me to reply.
What gender would you like your pen pal to be? I don't care.
Age?: I don't really care. Age and maturity are different things.
What are you looking for in a pen pal? Doesn't really matter. I'm open-minded.
Where would you like them to be from? Also doesn't matter.

If you don't wanna comment here, my E-Mail is littleamirgirl@gmail.com

Name: Nadine.
Nickname: Nay, Dino, Deani...there's a lot, it really depends who I'm talking to.
Age: 19.
Birthday: 17th February.
Gender: Female.
Location: Guildford, Surrey, England.
Occupation: I'm a first year university student studying Criminology & Sociology, and a weekend supervisor at a health food store.
Dream Job: Criminal Investigation Department.
Languages: Just English.
Religion: I'm agnostic, but hoping to figure it out eventually.
Relationship Status: Taken.
Piercings/Tattoos: I have my nose and ears pierced, "alis volat propriis" (she flies with her own wings) tattooed on my wrist and a dove on each hip.
Do you want new LiveJournal friends?: I'd love them :).
About Me:
I'm really not great at these sections.
I'm studying Criminology & Sociology at the University of Surrey in Guildford, England. It's only been six weeks but I'm already a million times more passionate than I was when it wasn't my only point of study.
I'm ambitious, stubborn, too clumsy for my own good, lacking in common sense, a serial procrastinator, a perfectionist, a messy neat freak and a complete idiot at times.
I don't have a great amount of "hobbies", but there's a huge amount of things that I love doing. I'm a book-worm, spending a lot of time with my head in the worlds of Jodi Picoult, Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Stephanie Meyer and Phillippa Gregory, to name the absolute favourites.
I love nights out, probably too much, but I am a nineteen year old fresher at university and therefore it is the law that I love nights out.
I have a real love for collaging, and making things like scrapbooks and stuff like that - at least one occasion a year, somebody gets a scrapbook or some sort of handmade memoir.
I love music and live music is always a magical experience. My iTunes is the most varied library you'll ever see, from Lily Allen (a heroine of mine and so good live it's unreal) to Panic At The Disco (the most fantastic two gigs of my life) to Bryan Adams (he had my full attention on a stage with nothing but an acoustic guitar and his own voice).
I have a Mission 101, it's only just started but it's still fun accomplishing things :).
Movies and TV: P.S. I Love You, The Jeremy Kyle Show, Neighbours, Eastenders, Miracle on
Video Games: The Sims 2. (I barely get time to play that, so I don't play much else too often).
Pen Pal Info
How many pen pals do you have? None so far
How many do you want? 3 or so.
Do you want email pals? That'd be nice too :).
Do you want snail-mail pen pals? Yes pleaaaase, it's preferable.
How long does it take you to reply to a letter? Give me a few days and I should be done :).
Would you like your pen pal to be male or female? I don't mind either way. I always got on better with males growing up but I'm getting a lot more girlfriends these days, especially since I got to uni.
Age? 17+
What are you looking for in a pen pal? Someone who shares interests, can teach me new things, doesn't mind my rambling, and will actually take time to write good, full letters.
Where would you like them to be from? Absolutely everywhere, I love learning about new cultures :).

I'm the one on the left, but my hair's changed since this was taken...it's really the first one I picked.

Name: Teresa
Age: 20
Birthday: July 14th
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Location: Kansas City, Missouri, USA
Occupation: Front Desk monkey at the Holiday Inn and cashier monkey at Gamestop.
Languages Spoken: English. I can understand Spanish, but can't speak it very well.
Relationship status: Single
Religion: Registered catholic, but I figure that I don't need a structured religious base to believe in God.

Interests: Wow, long list. Let's see....MUSIC, reading, writing (all types, 'cept I suck at poetry), laughing, working out, dancing, singing, practicing on my clarinet, drawing, writing letters (obviously...)acting, watching re-runs of old shows I used to watch as a kid (I.E Mystery Science Theater 3000, Full House, Guts, Legend of the Hidden Temple, etc.), anything to do with Dan Aykroyd, making my own running commentary on movies (much like Mystery Science Theater), playing organized sports, anything paranormal and supernatural, and day dreaming. Sleeping is always nice too.

Music: I have an appreciation for all genres of music, but I do have a soft spot for blues, jazz, and show tunes.

Games: SUPER MARIO BROTHERS GAMES. Period. Oh, and occasionally Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Movies: Anything that has Dan Aykroyd in it (can you tell he's my favorite actor?), Michael Jackson's This is It (HIGHLY SUGGEST you see it if you haven't), and fictional historic romances, like Titanic and Pearl Harbor. I also like old martial arts movies, such as The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Enter the Dragon, and whatever else. I do like Quentin Tarantino movies as well.

Me in general: I'm a happy, crazy (in a good way) person. I like to break out into song and dance at random times and places, I love laughing and making other people laugh, and I take the time to enjoy the little things in life.

How many do you want? 1209345092350928345

Do you want snail-mail penpals? Yes!

How long are your letters? Usually 3 pages, but more if I get rolling on a subject.

How long does it take you to reply to a letter? I reply as soon as I read the letter.

Would you like your penpal to be male or female? I prefer female, but male is fine too.

Age? Age is relative; attitude is what matters.

Where would you like them to be from? Anywhere, but overseas might take a little longer because I only get paid every two weeks.

What are you looking for in a pen pal? I like learning about new people and new places. I believe that everyone has an interesting story to tell.

Notes augmented

We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!

Product tweaks and bug kill

  1. In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
  2. If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
  3. The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
  4. If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
  5. If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
  6. Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)

New FCK fixes rich text editor!

  1. We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
  2. When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
  3. RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
  4. An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
  5. The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers

LiveJournal Cares

We’re pleased to introduce you to [info]lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit [info]lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.

Papered in postcards

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

Photos of the week

We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at [info]lj_photophile.

You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP.

Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!!

Thanks [info]mhwest and [info]dnewhall for helping out!

---

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

Name: Haz
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Location: Singapore
Occupation: Stuuuuuudent
cDream Job: Undecided. Maybe a zoologist/marine biologist/microbiologist/translator/linguist/something with National Geographic/boss of my own company. I'm fickle. 6^^;
Language: English, Malay, Arabic, learning German. and attempting to learn Japanese. ^^
Religious View: Muslim. (:
Relationship Status: Single.
Sexuality: Straight.

About Me:  I’m a second year student pursuing a diploma in Biotechnology. I spend practically the whole day at school so I tend to rant about it quite a bit :p
 

According to the Meyers Briggs Type Indicator, I’m an INTP. I’d say it describes me pretty well ^^ (kudos to anyone who actually looked it up; the article’s super long XD). Generally, I’m quite reserved, but I’m veeeery chatty with family and close friends. I love cracking lame and corny jokes. I’m pretty random. And eccentric. XD I pride myself on my ability to see the funny side of things. I can be sarcastic at times, but it’s all in good fun. XD I’m able to see things from different perspectives so I’d say I’m open-minded. ^^/

Interests/Hobbies: I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, origami, arts and crafts (unfortunately, school eats up most of my time so…D:). I also looooove to travel. I love culture and languages. I’m starting to have an interest in photography as well. I go gaga over cute/unusual stuff. X3 I’m a huge fan girl and *ahem* I tend to have crushes on fictional characters. Xp

Music: Hmm. According to iTunes, my music consists of mostly rock. :p Besides that, I also listen to some Jpop, Jrock and recently, Korean songs (yup, it got me too XD). Some of my favourite bands are Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, UVERworld, Royal Pirates, Linkin Park, the GazettE, Mayday Parade and Yellowcard. Anyway, if you have any band/song you'd like to share, feel free~ I'm pretty sure I'll like it too X3


Movies
: I…enjoy a rather weird mix of Pixar/Disney movies and…horror movies. Heh. I also like comedy and action. ;D Here are some of my fave movies: Meet the Robinsons, Toys Story, Nightmare before Christmas, Resident Evil, Horton Hears a Who, Transformers and recently, Coraline. I intend to watch Paranormal Activity as soon as I have some free time. C:

Books/Authors
: Well, basically most of the stuff I read are fantasy/horror/adventure. Harry Potter is definitely on the top of my list of fave books. So are Vampire Academy, Mortal Instruments trilogy, Wicked Lovely, books by Darren Shan, Holly Black and Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. Oh, and Sarah Dessen writes awesome books as well. I also read children’s books, like the Children of the Red King series, the Septimus Heap series and the Casson family series. ^^

I also collect manga. :D Fullmetal Alchemist and Vampire Knight are ♥. So are Ouran, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan and Fruit Basket. I'd love it if you recommend me manga/books =D Oh, and National Geographic magazine. *nerd smile* XD


TV: Not much of a TV person. From what I did watch, I liked Chowder, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Ben 10, a bunch of anime from my secondary school days (Beyblade, Shaman King, D.N.Angel, One Piece, Samurai X etc) and some Japanese/Korean dramas (Hana Kimi, Hana Yori Dango, Bloody Monday, etc). ^^


Penpal Info

Do you want email pals? Yup.
Do you want snail mail pals? Well, not really. I don't like waiting, haha.

Do you hand-write or type? Well, obviously I type for emails =p

Where do you want them to be from? Outer space. It'd be great it they're from say, Europe or Northern/Southern Asia. But I'm not too fussed. C:
What are you looking for in a penpal? Someone with a sense of humour, open-minded and easygoing. A good friend. It’d be cool if they can speak German or Arabic. Desperately needs someone to practise with XDDDD But it’s not a must, really. As long as we have common interests, it’s fine. Oh, and someone who won’t stop writing back after a few letters.
What age do you want them to be? Umm…I’d say around 17-20, but again, I'm not too bothered about this. =D

Mm...I couldn't find a tag in the sidebar that had anything to do with submitting pen pal info...so I just looked at a few others that have been done and I've incorporated mine from the format they used. This is also the first time I've ever submitted anything regarding my irl info...so I still feel a bit cautious...
And if I missed any crucial info, please, somebody tell me so I can fix this.

Hobbies: Writing stories and drawing. I also love making arts & crafts.

Main Interests: Anime & manga, animals, drawing, writing, internet, movies

Music: I like songs, not music.

Books: My favorite novel is probably The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But I also like Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Oh, and I've read all the books in the Harry Potter series. Putting that aside, I also love reading manga.

Movies and TV: I love movies! I wish I had enough money to go to the movies every time something good comes out. My favorite movie is probably...Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki (sp?). It's a really good movie. I also love the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and the Harry Potter series.

Western cartoons nowadays are losing the funny because these new series are...well I find them to be just dumb.

Pen Pal Info

Age? I mostly have friends around my age or like two or three years older than me. I would prefer friends 14-20 years old, but beggars can't be choosers right?

What are you looking for in a pen pal? I'm just looking for somebody to chat with and perhaps look at the entries in my LJ. I like getting feedback. :D
