Happy 'Journal Day - Take 2!

[ghost_light]

My Livejournal is 10 years old today! I am thinking a good way to celebrate this milestone is hosting a friendzy!

You probably, all know the drill by now - post an intro below, get to know some fun people.

I will start, if,'journal doesn't mangle this post!

Hi! I'm ghost_light, I'm 43 and I suck at writing intros. I live in Anchorage, Alaska with my husband LonelyDumptruck and 296,000 other people.

 

I work days doing data entry (why yes, that is as exciting as it sounds) and helping out at a small real estate to afford what I really like to do - theatre and roller derby! 

 

I am a Talking Woman and resident stage manager for a burlesque troupe and I  stage and house manage for the Performing Arts Centre where I have been heckled by Bill Engvall and had Kenny G. stick his tongue out at me as we passed in the hall.

 

I am a  Skating Official (referee) in
the Derby Intelligence Compliance Squad for Anchorage's roller derby league.  Yes, that means we are DICS.
I look forward to meeting all of you!

 

So, post an intro, make some comments, find some new friends to enjoy!

Wow. I can't believe it's taken me so long to get around to posting this! Happy 10th Livejournalaversary!

I'm Bec. I'm late to the party, which is rather fitting, considering I'm usually late to most things. I'm 37, and live in a small city on the south coast of Western Australia, with my partner, Adam, and our four children, three cats, dog and chicken. We just moved here and I love it. I've lived in Australia all my life apart from some sojourns overseas when I was younger. One day I'd like to travel again but I have to wait for the children to get a little older. Oh, and earn some money to pay for it (and them to come with us, I guess).

My interests are the natural environment, gardening, politics, writing, reading, cooking, baking and drinking tea. I also like sitting in coffee shops and having long chats with good friends. Right now I'm full-time at-home parenting, but I break up the monotony by blogging on my public wordpress blog around once a week and when my youngest starts school, I'll probably go back to working at my other day job, which is a high school teacher. I spent most of my twenties at uni studying philosophy, German and green politics and I try to incorporate all of that into my lessons and foist it on unsuspecting teenagers. It's fun :D

I usually post around 2-3 times per week to my livejournal but right now with moving, parents-in-law staying for an extended visit, and Christmas preparations, I'm not as regular as usual (with the posting. I'm fine in other ways, thanks for the concern). I don't always comment, at least not as much as I'd like, but I hope that will change a bit, too, once things settle down in a month or so.

Uh... I guess that's it, really?

I've added you.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I've seen you around on Amy's (tabular rasa) blog and always liked what you had to say. OK if I add you?

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I added you. It's always nice to add more Australians to my list!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I recognise you (I mean, your userpic) and I can't for the life of me think who we're mutual friends with (and obviously I'm too lazy to check... in fact it only occurred to me to look once I'd started writing this and now I sort of feel like I've started it and might as well finish).

ANYWAY. I've added you.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I added you! I'm a housewife too right now, although I struggle with it. I mean, I struggle with both the title 'housewife' and the fact that I'm not really very good at it. Haha.

We have cats (three) and I'm also a high school teacher although I'm looking after my own children fulltime right now, but I probably will go back at some stage.

I love your userpic, btw :D

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I added you. I'm at home with my children too right now and try to fit in my writing around them. Also I like that you wrote a long post :D

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

You sound great. I added you.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I've added you. I'm an outdoorsy type, when I can escape :)

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

You should add me because I also love socks. I can't drink coffee anymore, but I'm pretty obsessive about my tea... I also have awesome children, and we're the same age. How compatible can you get?!!

[siduri1959]

Thank you! Added you back!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I've added you :)

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

You seemed pretty interesting to me! Maybe that's because I'm just as boring?!

[jenny_evergreen]

I enjoyed it, but not as much as I thought I would; bad timing, I think!

[jenny_evergreen]

Same here, so absolutely! :)

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Your job sounds so awesome. Added!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I know you from somewhere... I wonder where? Anyway, you seem pretty awesome, so I added you.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

We apparently have a few things in common, so I added you.

[kishenehn.livejournal.com]

Cool! It will be fun to get to know you. :)

[ashmedai.livejournal.com]

Thank you - added you too. :)

You've probably seen my comments on theferrett where I have been lurking for almost all 10 years. Or beautyofgrey whom I think is the bees knees.
