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!

Congrats on 10 years on LJ! I passed the 10 year mark in September and never even noticed, lol.

As usual, I'm rather late to the party!

Hello, I live in the UK, I'm in my 30s and have an ordinary job that I neither love nor hate and dream of having one I do love. In my spare time I knit, spin, weave (with varying levels of skill) and have recently taken a foray into sewing. I also read as much as I can (audio books are helpful!). I try very hard to enjoy cooking. I don't eat sugar, most of the time. Or wheat. Hence the need for cooking. I have a nice OH and dog shaped plans in the future.

Periodically I'll disappear when things get busy and stressful, but I always come back.

Most of my socks are hand knitted, and today they are green and stripey

And happy 10 journal years! :)

ETA. Other interests are yoga, self compassion and watching Masterchef :)

Ugh, I dislike talking about myself b/c I don't think I'm that interesting. If by some fluke you read this & think we have some stuff in common, great!

I grew up in Kansas. Hated it. Was fortunate to have lived in a southern state for a decade where I felt most at home. Still in the south but a different state, courtesy of the husband's job [which I prefer not to mention in my journal].

Married mom of three teens. I like journaling, snarky icons, reading, Twitter, Words With Friends, The Blacklist, Bates Motel & celeb gossip shows.

I'm definitely an introvert. I'm serious but also have a sense of humor.

I journal about my life, vent, & occasionally post memes, polls & fun, interactive questions that I come up with.

I'd prefer someone around my age range [30+] & for us to at least have something in common.

Please do! Welcome aboard!

I would LOVE to be LJ friends!

[lisabella.livejournal.com]

You should add me because we're both hockey fans. :)

[lisabella.livejournal.com]

Adding you. :)

We've got a friend in common, Linda Lee! Would love to be LJ friends, I've added you so you can check out my journal.

Lisa, 35. Married for a year but have been in a relationship with him for over 12 years now!

Loves: cats (I talk about my three quite a bit on FB), hockey, reading, being in the kitchen, watching the snow fall, winter and fall, games (board/FB/phone), snow (handy, since it's falling right now). Some of my favorite TV shows are: CSI, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Amazing Race, Gilmore Girls, and The West Wing.

I love children and hope to have some. My husband and I are currently TTC and I had a miscarriage in August. It does cause some Feelings when I read about pregnancy/babies but I figure that's better than pretending I'm not sad.

I'm a nanny to a family with 5 kids at home, 7 total. The days I work are busy and exhausting but I wouldn't trade my job for anything.

I went through a huge LJ slump earlier this year and am finding my love for it again.

Added you!

You had me at socks and kept me with coffee :)

I'm charming? I understand the importance of socks?

[slunickomoje.livejournal.com]

I'd love to add you!

[lisabella.livejournal.com]

I have been having those Feelings myself. I had a miscarriage in August and haven't been able to get pregnant since.

I worked at a Waldorf school for 7 years! I was just in the office but it was an interesting experience. Some times I miss it. ;)

I've added you.

Hi!

I'll be 30 this June. My divorce was finalized last May to a wonderful person who I spent 8 great years with (only 1.5 of them as a married couple), but should never have been married to. Now I'm out in the world dating again - which I didn't realize I would say at 29. I'm excited about someone I've met and thrilled with this new journey!

I work in education at a non-profit that focuses on food, farming, sustainability and nature connection. I love being outside with children and feel that I've won the jobs-lottery!

Outside of work I love to read, kayak, hike, travel, volunteer, cook, bake, garden, and be with people I love! I do love netflix at night and am happy to hear what people are watching, too.

I stepped away from LJ before & during the divorce, so am happy to be back and looking for new people to add! I'm "friends only" in my entries -- so please let me know if you plan on adding me so that I can add you back!

I loved West Wing -- have you watched Scandal? It reminds me of a mix of Law & Order and West Wing! I'd love to add you.
