Hello Doodle!
First off, I actually saw your adoption/cycling thread in the Villager Trading Plaza! But anyway, if you're still interested, I'd love to be friends with you! I'm always looking for new people to befriend in the AC fandom especially ones who still play ACNL and are active on there so I'm glad I found this thread!
Anywho, that said, my name is Leena or that's a name that I usually go by. My real name is Anni but I prefer Leena in the gaming world. I was never well-versed or part of the Animal Crossing until I got the physical copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf sometime in March 2014 after using my allowance money to buy the physical copy of the game and the 2DS system as I was only able to afford that at the time. I do want to mention that there was a special deal for Pokemon X and Y going at the time so I really wanted to get the download code that was being promoted at the time and I got the physical copy of New Leaf since that looked most fun and a game I'd enjoy. I do wish that I was able to play the original Gamecube game, Wild World, and City Folk as I didn't have the respective systems and I mainly watched and or caught some of the game from watching in on Youtube via Let's Plays and walkthroughs. I also even watched the anime movie which I enjoyed immensely too! New Leaf is the first Animal Crossing game that I've ever had in all honesty and I grown to love it alot! I got Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer a year later as a Christmas gift from my parents along with the Amiibo card of Luna and a scanner which made me happy and I play it but not as much as New Leaf but it's just a personal preference.
Regarding my town, it was called Villetia and I managed to accomplish many things despite being a huge newbie (thanks to this forum as well as other websites that had guides to the game) from almost completing the museum, having all the business and shops available to the public (never got the T&T Emporium so I'm hoping to accomplish that goal), got most of my dreamies, and yet one thing that really bugged me about it and that was it was a messy town where I would have stuff lying about, I didn't have enough bells that was needed for PWPs and to be saved in banks (so I can buy stuff off of my wishlist, expand my houses, or at the time, get the villagers I wanted for my town), and disorganized locations of where villagers would move in and out. I also met alot of villagers I come to love and do have fond memories even though they moved out to villagers I didn't enjoy particularly or like which made me wish the latter would move. I also learned about time traveling and because I was a newbie at the time, I looked up guides on how to deal with events like April Fool's Day to Toy Day, coffee orders for cafe, villager birthdays to get them gifts, and lurking on the forums to reading threads about other people's suggestions about what to do with TTing and cycling towns as well as alot of what I didn't know about the game. As for my current town, it's still Villetia since I managed to get most of the shops and businesses open except for Club LOL, the Dream Suite, and I'm still hoping to get my second floor of the museum renovated as well as have my own dream suit pretty soon too! I also been saving bells not only from being able to find a close friend I can trust to keep my items in his town while I reset, resetting my game, and being able to have Tom Nook buy it (thank you Welcome Amiibo update!), I have alot more than I did and or could afford back in my old town. I'm working on restarting but I'm having trouble with landscaping and I've been stumped on how to ask others like where, who, and how do I start and I also have been looking up guides on Tumblr and only a few have been slightly helpful so I'm hoping to get a secondhand on that. I also want my town to be cute but also have nature too? I don't know the exact theme yet exactly although I know a cutesy, natural type of town is what I want if that makes sense? I would love a music, food, and a flowery type of rooms in my house. I'm a writer so maybe going to make a writer type of room too. I also just started a PWP today too so that's been great. I'm still figuring out where to place my flowers, pathways, trees, and whatnot. It's also gotten messy with me leaving things on the ground too but hoping to get the storage expansion and the second floor of the museum open so I can keep all my stuff. That aside, I love visiting other people's towns for inspiration and also love having people over in my town as long as they don't break the rules I have which should be listed in my signature but I'm pretty chill about people interacting with my villagers, taking my fruit if they need it, and or just hanging out fishing, catching bugs, shopping in Main Street, and stuff like that! I also lost villagers to the reset so I hope I get to gain them back as some new ones. The ones that I was close to were also mainly dreamies but ones that felt like close friends in the game: Genji (I really want him back in my town again so hoping to find a way to obtain him again! ;w;, he's my favorite in the game so far!), Beau, Chrissy, Marshal (whom I actually got a few days ago), Molly, Punchy, and Whitney. Most of them have moved away (one was accidentally voided) and or got lost after I decided to reset the game which I regret but hoping to give them away properly if I ever do another reset. Oh, and my town has Oranges in case you're wondering about the fruit. Both of my towns have had this so far. xD
I've been playing the game on and off but mostly on whenever I'm not busy dealing with real life stuff from work and family stuff and recently I have admittedly took some time off of game as to not get tired of it and I didn't have many people to play with except this one guy friend who's usually available whereas my other friends didn't have the game, didn't want the game, have stopped playing or were too busy to schedule a time to play it. Despite this, I have motivation to continue it for an ACNL blog on Tumblr and or Wordpress--still debating on where to post! I haven't played since April or May since I got swamped up with other fandoms and things. I also recently started a new part-time job after quitting my old one so it affects my playing schedule at times but I currently get off of work around 2 pm and am home usually around 3 pm unless I have an important appointment or event that day but I'll let you know if anything changes if we do get around to playing together. So I guess my time when I work are from 3 pm-11:30 pm Central timezone or CST I think? (so if you're EST, I'm an hour behind you). On my days off, I'm available from 10:30 am-11:30 pm. I also can stay up until 3 AM if I have a day off of work the next day. That aside, I really would love to get back into playing Animal Crossing so not only can I keep it up for chronicling my time onto my ACNL blog but I'd love to be able to experience the game with other people too and it helps me relax when I have anxiety and need time away from reality and so forth! It's a game that I always felt I can walk away from for awhile but later on, pick it up again. It's hard for me to have such a love for a game and the only games I like alot like that are Pokemon (the sole reason I got the physical copy of ACNL in the first place) and Kingdom Hearts.
My FC is on the side but I'll type it here as well:

Sorry that was super lengthy and I rambled! I hope that helps explains to you about me that I can and stuff but yeah, hoping we can be friends!
