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!

 

Comments

[jenny_evergreen]

So, here's the thing, I need people who interact. I don't like "being read" and "reading"; just not my thing, don't feel judged! I'm not talking about commenting for the sake of it and I'm not keeping count, but if you are going to comment once or twice a year, pass this one by.

I'm about to turn 40. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom. Both my boys are finally in school as of this year, which was supposed to be my year of taking it easy, except that it doesn't seem to be happening! I'm very involved in my Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and planning to go back to school to become a UU minister. At this time, I must point out that I am either an atheist or a pantheist, depending on how important sentience is to your definition of deity. And, yes, I really talk like that.

I'm a warm, loving, supportive, honest friend. I believe that friendship needs reciprocity; I learned a long time ago to stop investing myself in people who do not invest themselves in me.

I'm geeky: Dr. Who, Hitchhiker's Guide and Star Trek inform my life in many ways. I'm finally getting back into table-top gaming and hoping that continues.

I'm liberal/progressive in my politics and opinions.

And I have to go test the refurbished Wii I got my kids for Winter Solstice, so if you want more, check out the links in my profile. I know it might not sound like it, but I could use a few more good friends. :)

I'd like to add you, if you don't mind. I'm not a "comment for the sake of commenting" type person, but I do like interaction with my LJ friends and so I try not to just read and not say anything. We are close in age and both have 2 sons, among other things.

[jenny_evergreen]

Sounds great! Added you.

[tatjna.livejournal.com]

Also into interaction and I like that you talk like that. Friends?

[jenny_evergreen]

Added! :)

[tatjna.livejournal.com]

Yay! ;-)

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

reciprocity, check. UU, check. Geeky, check, Progressive, check.

Hi! be welcome to poke around my journal, if you like.

[jenny_evergreen]

From reading your intro, we have a lot MORE in common, even! :) Glad to add you.

[reynardine.livejournal.com]

May I add you? I'm also into fandom and am getting back into tabletop gaming, also liberal.

[jenny_evergreen]

Welcome!

[viridescence13]

Adding! I'm definitely interested in the UU stuff and you talking like that. :) I love how you write about interacting, commenting, and forming friendships. And geeky, liberal, yes, all sounds good to me.

[jenny_evergreen]

Great to meet you! :)

[viridescence13]

You too! =)

[serena-b.livejournal.com]

Would it be ok to add you? You seem to have some of the same interests I do, and I also like lj users that engage. :)

[jenny_evergreen]

Welcome! :)

[lisabella.livejournal.com]

I would LOVE to be LJ friends!

[jenny_evergreen]

Added!

I see you've already gotten several bites, and for good reason, but can I sign up too? 38, male, Florida, long-time LJer, dad to 3 adorable girls, agnostic, liberal, Doctor Who, Sherlock, music, photography, and I love engaged friends too. Deal? :)

[jenny_evergreen]

There's plenty of room! Glad to close the deal. :)

I noticed that you did "Idol". I did it twice a couple of years ago. It was a blast and very much challanged me to write, write, write.

[jenny_evergreen]

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

[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?

[jenny_evergreen]

Same here, so absolutely! :)
