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!

Adding.

I'm Kasey. I'm nearly 30, female, living in western Washington with my fellow of 5 years and our neurotic corgi-golden retriever mashup pup. Mashpup? Whatever. I'm super laid back/easy going, I don't get offended easily and therefore also swear like a sailor and am quite crude. I'm not an atheist, but I might as well be. I accept everyone as they are, but if something does rub me the wrong way, I make myself scarce in regards to it. I won't argue about politics, religion, or children.

I work in a bakery a couple days a week and spend the rest of my time tinkering around the house. I write a food blog, I am a published writer, and I'm a photography enthusiast. I'm also a gamer (Warcraft, mainly) and an avid internet user :P I waste a lot of time on reddit, Pinterest (just for the food), Ravelry, and I near-obsessively search Netflix for something 'new' and fun.

I read a lot. Current series I'm working on is Hugh Howey's Silo saga. On the second book at the moment. Also love The Hunger Games, A Song of Ice and Fire series, the Temeraire series, and I'm a Brit-lit nerd (including Arthurian legend).

We don't have cable, so I rely on things like Netflix and Amazon for my t.v. show fixes. I <3 Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the New Black, Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, Stargate Atlantis, King of the Hill, Bob's Burgers, and Archer. Oh. And Chopped. AMG how I love Chopped...

As far as LJ goes... I don't post a whole lot. I kind of got in a funk and didn't want to read or write anything. I'm trying to work my way back into the swing of things, very slowly, but new friends means more reasons to post! All are welcome :3

Sure, added :)

[blue-eye.livejournal.com]

I've added you, if that's ok.

hi--I came over via gracegiver's post about this. Congrats on 10 years, I'll be there in March :) I'm 48, live in Seattle, work as a psychoanalytic therapist, and I talk about my own therapy a good bit. I like to read, paint, write, take pictures, cook, find new music, and hike, so I talk about all of those things some. My journal really is a place for me to process my life; it's quite raw at times, and not many ppl comment, but I don't mind. I read everyone on my FL, but don't comment that often. When I do, it's usually short (which is funny b/c my entries are notably long). I enjoy ppl who talk about their lives, as opposed to talking, for instance, about a tv show they're watching. I love picture posts, ppl with a good sense of humor, and ppl who are pretty easy-going. I'm very open-minded. I love poetry. I like talking about sex. I like reading about ppl's travels. If any of you think we sound like a fit, let me know--thanks!

hi--I read your profile and your comment, and I would like to add you.

[tarakins42.livejournal.com]

Would you like to be friends? We have art, projects, aquariums and cats in common ;)

[avalonrain.livejournal.com]

I think we've got quite a bit in common, may I add you?

[avalonrain.livejournal.com]

I'm rather fond of book stores, thrift stores and Doctor Who myself :). Add?

[avalonrain.livejournal.com]

I can relate to being private and using LJ for personal issues. I can totally relate to the Wil Wheaton crush hehehe, and I'm definitely introverted with some geeky tendencies. Feel free to add me if you like :)

[avalonrain.livejournal.com]

We have a few things in common! I was born in '79, adore words and books, very pro-kindness and tolerance, definitely LGBT friendly (panromantic demi-sexual married to a trans lady!), anti-drama and finally .... gluten free! So in other words, is it alright if I add you? :)

Happy Anniversary. I just realized I've been on here for 10 years, too. If LJ keeps working I will be here for a lot longer. I love LJ for the threaded conversations. I reveal myself via discourse, instead of big posts.

I'm Steve. I'm 43 and live in Canada. I'm a married heterosexual monogamous social democrat atheist (recovering Catholic). That really doesn't say much about me, though. My FL is a wonderful mix of interest people. Some atheist. Some are ministers. Some poly. Engineers and art majors. Programmers and librarians. Stay at home moms and dads. Mmmm, librarians. There are conservatives. I like conversations. I don't have too much patience with racists or people who hate on the less fortunate. Ie/ complaining on Apr 15 that welfare queens have their hands in your pockets will raise my ire.

The two things that frustrate me are people and computers. This is why I'm a support manager for an ISP/telco.

I live in Windsor, ON. I am immediately south of Detroit (don't stop. Believing!)

I have three cats and a Shih Tzu. All of whom I talk about too much. My wife took a Post-Doc position out of town, so our homes are split. I watch way too much TV in my free time. I'm also run and am trying to learn Latin, the violin, and functional programming. Clearly I do it to impress the ladies. In probably more of a dilettante than a renaissance man. But I've gotta learn.

I read like I have ADD. There's always a stack of books where I rest.

Monty Python's Flying Circus and Woody Allen had a serious impact on my sense of humour.
I power-watch TV shows. I think Netflix release model is perfect for me. And the shows have been great!

Shows I talk a lot about:
-archer
-community
-mad men
-oh, how much I miss Breaking Bad
-once upon a time
-venture bros

I listened to a lot of New Wave and classic rock in the 80's. Big Kate Bush fan. Ultravox. Roxy Music.

I enjoy annoying my wife by pointing out actors from other shows. It's called "Hey! He's from Oz and/or The Wire!"

Anyway, that's all I can think up at 3am. Oh, I'm a bit of an insomniac. I post a lot of 4am inanities.

I hope I make some new friends.

I'm Nick, 29, employed, living in California, I like to draw, watch sports, read comics, listen to music, and looking for some adventures every once in a while. I've had my journal for almost ten years and I'm looking for friends that like to comment. My journal consists of real life stuff, ramblings, drawings, and Top 10 weekly favorite songs.

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Oh hey. You sound very interesting. I just made a post down below. I don't post about TV as much as comment. I interact with each of my friends differently.

You made me realize I missed stuff in my post. I post photos of my pets and food and about sex. But not at the same time, OMG! Well, sometimes I'll talk about how the pets watch. It both amuses and creeps us out.

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I added you. I sometimes make fun of Florida because there's some crazy there. It's probably media observation bias. But I like to troll my friend in Tallahassee. In truth, I am drawn to it. It's in my French Canadian blood. Haha!

Hello there! I'm Nicole, 33, living in Ireland. I am originally from Germany, but moved to Ireland almost 9 years ago as my boyfriend is from here. I'm happy living here though and we just bought a house here (which was the main topic of my recent LJ entries). I live with my boyfriend and my cat, Ruby.

I mostly write about everyday stuff and my life isn't terribly exciting most of the time. I work in IT and I also study part-time so I don't have that much time to write at the moment, but I'm finishing college in May anyway and should have more time again then. I've been on LJ for ages and these days I usually try to update my journal once a week.

Looking for some new friends as most of my friends seem to have left LJ. I don't really mind if we have lots of stuff in common or not, I think it's interesting to read about other people's lives even if our interests are completely different.

[method-acting.livejournal.com]

Honestly looking for more males for the flist!

[ofwinterspast.livejournal.com]

Definitely added!

Hello! Heather, age 33 from NC.

SAHM, have 3 small dogs and 6 pet chickens. I adore animals, love to read and watching zombies getting their heads smashed in on the Walking Dead.

Looking for friends who don't write novels as I find those hard to follow!

[ofwinterspast.livejournal.com]

If you like all that then you are definitely A-OK in my book. Added you back.

[starrbeam.livejournal.com]

[manue7a.livejournal.com]

Hey there, of course it is alright! But I put gluten-free only for the sake of yet another label ;)
I added you, looking forward to getting to know you.
