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!

Hi! I've added you.

[prinzessbtrfly.livejournal.com]

my sn is Prinzess. here's some info about me: http://prinzessbtrfly.livejournal.com/5985.html?mode=reply#add_comment i'd love to make some new friends!!

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

hi there. Adding you!

[cifan70.livejournal.com]

Hi, My name is Kim and I suck at inros so here goes.

I am coming up on 6 years here on LJ next month. I am 43 yrs old, married and have 2 kids, one grown and one teen who is special needs, autistic to be specific and needs a lot of special care. I have 2 cats and work from home for a major health insurance company. My husband is disabled, all the above is a lot of the reason I work from home.

I love TV, mostly Doctor Who, Once Upon A Time, Grimm, Castle and anything Food Network but my schedule is full most nights.

As far as my journal, I have been on a hiatus kinda thing due to working overtime and I have been sick. I am not a huge commenter so if you want that type person, you don't want me. I have a large friends list because a lot of my friends aren't active and I hate friend's cuts. I know I need to but still don't like them. I love reading journals and what is going on in people's lives.

I love to make icons as well. I have communities for that and I am in a landcomm to fill the TV void. I have a Facebook but nothing is done on it that involves LJ so I usually don't give it out. Autism group, bingo group, etc. LOL

[tjoel2]

I have two kids who are both in special ed, for very different reasons. My son is in a Structured Behaviour Class, and my daughter is in a Special Day Class. Don't you just love all of the labels?! Shesh.

Anyway, sounds like we have quite a bit in common. :}

Happy belated LJ birthday. :)

Thanks!!

Hello I'm Melissa, 29, from Upstate NY. I always tend to get suckered into these things. I love them!

I write about my day to day activities, my battle with depression and anxiety which one Dr labeled Bi-polar how they cycle and another said nope it's just a mood disorder. Either way they effect my life on a daily basis even being medicated and seeking therapy.

I watch a lot of tv, don't blog about it much though cause I'm always like a month behind. DVR is a blessing and a curse.

My current obsession is Monster High Dolls. I blame my friend Tanya. She posts pics of them and I'm like aw they're so damn cute I have to have them.

I love baseball the Atlanta Braves to be exact. I have a health condition called being a NY Giants fan. This season has been tough! I try and follow the Montreal Canadiens it was much easier in college when I had the CBC. And I am OBSESSED with WWE Wrestling. I watch it religiously.

I try and keep up with my f-list on a daily, or every other day basis depends on the toll work took on me that day. I love commenting and I always comment back when I recieve them sometimes it just takes a couple days.

I'm sure there's eleventy billion other things I could say but I've said enough already.

Oh and I always like to add I like Purple, Dr Pepper and Colin Farrell.

Hi (fashionably late to the party via blue_eye…

I'm Emmy. I'm 25 from the Boston area. Currently looking for work and taking classes through a psych rehab adult ed program at a local university. I'm an aspiring writer, an art hobbyist, and a certified Reiki II practitioner.

Spirituality-wise I'm UU and I generally say I'm a syncretist and/or label-resistant interfaith person if you ask for more details. I was raised Catholic and many of my friends are Jewish, atheist, agnostic, secular, pagan and/or Christian so religion isn't a big deal to me though I tend to see Mystery as more or less Love when it comes down to it.

This journal is shared between myself and my headmates and tends to be a lot more personal, private and fandom-ish. I have a more public account at brides_koneko that I also use for crowdfunding and fiction.

My current fandoms are: Ace Attorney, Marvel Cinematic Universe/Agents of SHIELD, BBC Sherlock, Doctor Who and Game of Thrones.

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

oooh. Your fandoms play very nicely with my fandoms.

I am also UU/eclectic Pagan/Buddhist/anthroposophist.

Shall we dance? =P

[tjoel2]

My name is Tisha, and I also suck at intros. :} I am 44 and live in N. Calif. I am a full-time single mom of an 11 year old girl and a 14 year old boy. Add the fact that I live with my partner, who is a part-time single dad with two girls: 13 and 11 years old, and it's never a dull moment at our house!

Five years ago I was laid off and got the opportunity to pursue my passion. I am a fiber artist and have a long-arm quilting business out of my home.

I live in a very small community in the mountains. Right now it's freezing and we are expecting a foot of snow on Saturday. Sweet!

I love the snow, and I am such a hippie mountain girl.

I am kind of sporadic on LJ. I've had this journal on-line now for 8 years, and I'll never give it up. There are times when I am able to post often and times when I'm not. I always read however.

Looking forward to meeting new people as my journal as unfortunately been "friends only" for about 4 years now (since I had a stalker).

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

Hello and welcome!

[meri-sielu.livejournal.com]

Hi my name is Alana but I like going by just 'Lana. I'm a 27 year old trainee media technician and teaching assistant at a university in West Sussex, England. I'm big into reading, art, birdwatching, my chinchillas, Game of Thrones, gothic fashion and subculture, Nightwish, symphonic metal, folk music and nature to name a few of my many interests. I am also a practicing Druid and am a Priestess in a local Order. :)

I'd like to meet some new people, I always read and comment as much as possible as long as I have something to say. I won't ever cut people from my list without good reason. :)

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

hello... I think we might get along.

I'll friend you, feel free to come over and read.

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

I am enjoying reading all of these so much!

[tigtogiba34.livejournal.com]

where do we ask you to be our friend? if you'll have me.

[robvansam.livejournal.com]

Holy crap cakes, there are more comments on this single entry than I've seen on any single add-me community post. It's like an untapped world. lol

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

Isn't it fun! ;)

[promiseoftin.livejournal.com]

nessainwe referred me to this friending meme. And you sound really fascinating! I love the burlesque and derby stuff! May I add you?

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

[oneworldvision.livejournal.com]

Congrats on 10 years! I'll hit that milestone next year. :)

My name is Caitlin, I'm 25 and from NJ. Most of my time is spent volunteering for an arts-related nonprofit, but I also work part-time as a nursing home receptionist and freelance as a writer. I'm a queer, liberal apatheist in a family of conservative Catholics. I have fibromyalgia and am just starting to get my life back on track after years of being in pain and not knowing why.

I post sporadically but check my flist every day and comment whenever I have something to say. I like meeting new people and don't do friends cuts, so a good portion of my flist is inactive. My journal is friends-locked, but if you add me just let me know and I'll gladly add you back.

[dreamchaser.livejournal.com]

I added you :)

Congrats on 10yrs!

[discreet.livejournal.com]

Hello, my name is Sarah. Im from Ohio and live with my boyfriend and 3 dogs and 1 cat.

I don't post on livejournal often mostly to vent or process something but I do read and comment.

I am a civil engineer by trade; I am considered a work-a-holic. For extra income I own rental properties.

I volunteer with OBHR (ohiobassetrescue.org), The Humane Society of Greater Akron, Rebuild Together of Cuyahoga Valley and a math tutor for local elementary school kids.

I don't want kids.

I really like classic cars. I am a fan of Mopar.

My hobbies include: crafts, photography, video gaming, Dungeon & Dragons, Going to conventions like GenCon or Comicon, cooking.

I have only ever flown on a plane 4x. Once to Chicago and once to Baltimore. I prefer driving over flying.

I love scifi especially Stargate!

I study computer programming and IT. I work with the developmentally disabled.

Re: Geeky girl in search of friends!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm adding you.

[ccangel42.livejournal.com]

Hi!

I'm Crystal, 31, PA, married for 5 years to Rob, mom to 3, project manager in IT/Pharma world, crafter, reader, tv-watcher, procrastinator.

My LJ will also hit its 10 year birthday next month, so I've been around forever and I'm a pretty regular poster (no month hiatuses for me!).

I have 3 beautiful girls. Emma, my step-daughter is 9; Alexandria will be 4 on 12/31, and Brooke just turned 1. They obviously keep me busy along with working full time, so that's a lot of what I post about. Just what's going on in the day.

Looking for new friends as I just cleaned up my list from some other frenzies for people that didn't comment ever or I felt we just didn't click.

Add me :)

[gindaisy.livejournal.com]

I added you - hope that's ok!

[underwear-slave.livejournal.com]

Hi! I am Shannon, 31. I live in Long Beach, CA with my 8 year old daughter. I am single mother, but my daughters father is a big part of her life. Sometimes we get along, sometimes we don't.

My journal hit its 10 year birthday in September of the year. I update at least once a week, usually more depending on whats going on and if I have anything to say.

I can be very random. My journal is mostly about my day to day life, not always super exciting, but there you go. I work full time out of the house, so theres a lot about that as well.

I love reading, baking, going to Disneyland, coffee with friends, watching tv and so on. Im sure there is more, if you have any questions just ask! :)

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

I added you :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

[adam-0oo.livejournal.com]

I am AMAZING at intros!








Really.

[gindaisy.livejournal.com]

Late to the game but here goes!

I'm 38 & a medical librarian, living in NJ. I used to be in HR but I went back to school to get my MLIS in 2010 and it was the best decision. I love being a librarian. I work in a small corporate setting so it's a lot different than public/school/academic, which is what most people think about when they hear "librarian".

I'm going through some massive changes right now, as my 9 year relationship is in the process of ending so there will be some glum entries but I'm generally not too dark. I have two cats, Meester Wheeskers (MW) and Leela, who is blind. Recently lost my two other cats, Tommy & Fry.

Things I like: New Orleans, football, fitness, craft cocktails, craft beer, cats, travel, reading, baking, cooking, local food, volunteering.

Shows I watch: American Horror Story, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, Orange is the New Black, Treme, Girls, Walking Dead

Music I like: all kinds of stuff - the goth/new wave/alternative bands I grew up with in the 80s & 90s, New Orleans style jazz, and indie pop are the main types I listen to, but I also dabble in cheesy 80s, dubstep, bounce, classic rock, rap, Cajun fiddle, even bluegrass...the only thing I can't bear to listen to is country.

Views I have: I'm liberal, non-religious, and for marriage-equality.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

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

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

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?

[slinkslowdown.livejournal.com]

My name's Kei~ I'm a genderqueer FtM and pansexual. I live in Nanaimo, BC, Canada with my roommate Sue and my fat, elderly tuxedo cat Oreo.

I'm disabled [OCD, bipolar II, PTSD, panic attacks, social anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy] and unemployed. I've been a volunteer Support worker for LiveJournal for a year and a half.

I like animanga, cooking shows, and all sorts of science shows and documentaries. I'm a nerd at heart and love to learn about anything and everything!

I post daily and I read everything on my F-List even if I suck at commenting sometimes.

Please comment before adding me! :)

I'm probably too late, but...

[snow-white.livejournal.com]

I'm Ruth, old enough to know better, and I work as a house matron in a British boarding school - where I attempt to corral 55 boys aged between 13 and 18. I have six tattoos. I've lived in two haunted houses. My late father was a priest who performed an exorcism. I watch Breaking Bad, American Horror Story and far more horror movies than is probably healthy for me. My journal focuses on the insanity that is my working life, often accompanied by photos, and people on my flist seem to find this rather entertaining. I'm broadminded, non-judgemental and fairly unshockable - hey, when you have naked eighteen year old boys running past you as soon as you get to work, you HAVE to be all those things.

Think we could be friends? Get in touch.

[runhappee.livejournal.com]

My name is Heather. I'm 31, single mom of 2 girls from Hampton, VA. I'm going to school to be a nurse, but not in school this semester. I have Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Anxiety, and Chronic Migraines. I'm also trying to lose a significant amount of weight after gaining due to medications and an injury I'm still getting over. I started running the beginning of 2012, and since have completed several races including 2 half marathons, and I'm now training for my 3rd in March. I write a lot about weight loss, running, my races, my daughters (who are both special needs), and my effort at creating a love life.

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

I added you ;)

[snoopdawg.livejournal.com]

I love reading all of these responses! There's so many fascinating, diverse people here. ♥

Let's see... I'm Christy in Philadelphia, originally from the Midwest. I'm 32, but there's definitely a part of me that's forever eight years old! I've been on LiveJournal longer than most of y'all, but my flist has dwindled over the years. I'm looking for like-minded and open-minded friends. I write anywhere from every day to once a month - it depends on my mood and how busy I am!

I'm not much into "fandom" as such and 99 percent of my posts are about my real life. Though there are occasional shows/movies I've liked, my primary partner refers to me (somewhat disdainfully) as "reality insistent," haha.

I'm a librarian. I enjoy reading nonfiction, being outdoors, exploring the city, hanging out with friends, and a good workout (swimming, yoga, weight training, the exercise bike, roller skating). I was a Girl Scout volunteer up until I moved to Philly, and I'd like to get involved again now that I'm done with grad school.

Liberal, vegetarian, fat, polyamorous, atheist-agnostic, very queer-friendly, a little kinky. Loud, silly, friendly, introspective.
