Girl:

My name's Ami, and this is basically just a 'me' section, so if you're not interested (and fair enough), then just poke around elsewhere. I'm not that good at writing these things, really. XD;;; And I'm even worse at keeping them updated. I just feel kind of duty-bound ot have one, since everyone else does. ;)

From Australia.
Currently a university student, doing a BA.

Favourite things

Anime - Gundam SEED, Gunslinger Girl, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.

Music - System of a Down, The Living End, Interpol, The Smiths, assorted J-Pop.

Fandom-wise, I think it would be time-consuming to list all my favourite characters and 'ships. My current top three favourite relationships are (not in order) Larsa/Penelo (Final Fantasy XII), Athrun/Cagalli (Gundam SEED) and Ike/Soren (Fire Emblem), but even those, I tend to also like the characters with other people, just not nearly as much. ^^;

Extra

Ami actually is my real name (or, a shortening of my real name), and not an online alias. I'm kind of dead in the water when it comes to web design; I'd love to enhance my skills, but I lack the time to commit to it. I've been designing since 2002, but my skills have kind of stagnated since 2005. ^^; Lack of time, I suppose. I used to run a few larger websites, but I either lost time or lost interest. I'd really like to try making a large shrine, but I don't really have the time. (That's why I like fanlistings. XD)

Fanlistings is pretty much all that's on this domain, which is why it's a combined fanlistings and main collective. I currently staff at TheFanlistings.Org, and used to staff at AnimeFanlistings.Org as well, but I had to leave there due to time committments. :(

Domains:

This domain, freedom-rain.net, is hosted with DreamHost, and has been since mid-January of 2006. The name, 'freedom-rain', is a somewhat Engrish-ified line from a song from the great video game, Devil May Cry 3, I just thought that it sounded like a great name :D

The current layout features Honda Tohru, Sohma Yuki and Sohma Kyou from Natsuki Takaya's amazing shoujo series, Fruits Basket. The scan was originally by Daystar Designs, and the background pattern is by Tomaki. The layout image itself has no real significance, aside from me wanting a happy fluffy layout after my last one, which was generally grim and dark.

The name 'Miracle' is something rather random that came to me while trying to think up a new name for the collective. It doesn't really have any significance ^^;
