I can't really say the first one happened to me, but the second one is a definite hell-yes. I shouldn't be talking (I'm sucky at commenting) but it's a little frustrating when you friend someone from a friending meme and even though they seem like a fun person with a cool personality, they a) don't post enough for you to learn anything of real substance about them, or b) they post about stuff that you can't really comment on (fandoms you're unfamiliar with, real life experiences that you can't relate to, etc.). I'd love to have more LJ friends (hell, if I found just one more us/uk fan who has similar tastes in doujinshi that would be a major WIN, although English US/UK fandom is cliquey as hell BUUUUUUUT I'll save that rant for another time) but I've struck out so many times with friending memes that I just gave up on them... Although I've met you and a few other people from friending memes so I can't 100% prove they never work!
Light novel wise: I don't really read light novels? Obviously I've read all of Suzumiya Haruhi and some of Full Metal Panic!, and right now I'm sort of in the middle of the first Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop novel. I own a couple of BL novels from Suzuhara Touko but they're kind of just gathering dust next to my Kimi ni todoke light novels LOL. I would like to read more light novels but I keep getting distracted by novel doujinshi instead LMAO!
Are you watching anything this anime season or are you too busy with school? I feel like the last anime I heard you talk about was Mawaru penguindrum...
