Happy 'Journal Day - Take 2!

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Happy Journal Day!

Let me give this a go.... I'm Still Reluctant After All These Years Online To Give Out My Actual First Name, Even Though I Think Most Of My Friends List Knows It, so call me Mali Rose.

I just turned 46 a month ago, and I've been on LJ for...let me check...wow, eleven years. My profile is wildly inaccurate...I should fix that thing. I post mainly about my daily life. For the last year, I've been engaged in a project to post a photo a day. They were originally supposed to be photos I'd taken that day, but that sort of got off track. I will probably continue the project in 2014. (I use two different cameras, a Canon dSLR and an Olympus point-and-shoot with a lot of built-in bells and whistles, even though it's a pocket camera.)

What else? I'm a huge geek. I read almost entirely fantasy only, with the occasional SF or mystery novel. I'm a Trekkie from my teenage years, a Whovian of only slightly newer vintage (Davison was my first favorite, but now Eccleston is, and I am vastly amused by Tennant being married to Davison's daughter), loved the original Tomorrow People (not so sure about this new incarnation). And while I didn't see Iron Man in theaters, ever since I did see it, I have been captivated by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I've been a writer all my life (started with crayons and construction paper). I'm mostly writing fanfic these days, though, as my original ideas sort of dried up and blew away a long while back. Still, I'm not unhappy with fan fiction, so there.

And this is getting rather longer than it needs to be. So, um, hi!

hi! I have recently started to write an Avengers!fic after mainlining a metric ton of fic in that fandom. Where do you post your fic?

On AO3. (http://www.archiveofourown.com) Have you read any of scifigrl47's work (http://archiveofourown.org/users/scifigrl47/pseuds/scifigrl47)? (I'm not her.) She's my favorite MCU writer.

I plan to do Project 365 again (this year I only got to March). I peeked at some of your photos...beautiful!

I'm a long-time LJer and my journal is a mish-mash.

Add?
