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!

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.

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.

I haven't! I'll have to see if it's on On Demand. Adding you now!

I'm sorry about your miscarriage. They really suck (speaking from experience).

[lisabella.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss. Such a horrible thing.

[magenta-girl.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It really is awful. I have been lucky enough to have had 2 successful pregnancies despite a host of fertility issues. (I don't know if that is helpful to know or not, aside from the "it's possible!" perspective, and I do mean it in a nice way and not a bad way.)

Hearing about others going on to have successful actually does give me hope, even if it makes me sad, too. I feel like the deck is stacked against me since I'm 35 and it's just drilled into your head that that's the end. Then there's the host of issues going on that have required almost weekly visits with my gynecologist. I feel like giving up but I know that's not the right attitude!

And I rambled. Interested in being LJ friends?

[magenta-girl.livejournal.com]

sure! I'll add you. :) Also I recommend the book Making Babies by Sami David and Jill Blakeway.

I'm a nanny, as well. And TTC.

[lisabella.livejournal.com]

I wish you luck! In both! :) Are you interested in being LJ friends?

[zhelana.livejournal.com]

Yes! :) Hi! :)

[lisabella.livejournal.com]

Added. :)

mmm, West Wing. But really you had me at Agents of Shield.
=)

I follow Josh Lyman, President Bartlet, Donna Moss on Twitter, it's a hoot.

Nice to meet you!
