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!

Hi, I'm Michaelyn, and although I'm only 26 my journal will be turning ten in a few months! If you go back to the beginning you'll undoubtedly find a lot of angsty teen stuff, but now I post mainly about my daily life, the fun things I do, and the struggles of being a recession college graduate trying to find "adult" employment. Lately I've been posting about 2-3 times per month, but my inspiration comes and goes. I do read everything on my F-List though (I keep it pretty small) and I am looking for friends that I can really get to know. I will comment as often as I have something relevant to say.

Basics about me: I live in Portland, OR with my fiance Brian and our two cats Walter (2) and Isabella (9). I have been vegan for the last three years and it is a big part of my life. I am also a very active person; I climb mountains, go on ridiculous bike rides, and am always up for a good adventure. Sometime before I turn 30 I would like to complete a triathlon, but I suppose I need to get much better at swimming first--there's still time! I'm not much of a "fangirl" but I do watch a fair amount of TV. Some current favorite shows include Bob's Burgers, Luther, Scandal, Parenthood, and more. I also love music, but don't really like concerts. (I have a huge personal bubble).

Clearly, I am not a very articulate writer. I write in my own voice and I don't often proofread what I write, so if I sound interesting to you and you don't mind reading posts that are often very jumbled up, please feel free to add.

Hi, I'm training for my 3rd half marathon. Doing a triathlon is one of my goals. I'm also trying to get more active, trying to get back into shape and lose weight.

Wanna be friends?

[becofoz]

Sure :)

Hi! My name's Caitlin and I'm 25, have also been on here since the angsty teen years, and am in a similar place employment-wise.

Friends?

Hi Michaelyn. I'm Heather, 31, single mom of 2 from Hampton, VA. I'm working on being more active, getting back in shape, losing weight. I started running the beginning of last year and since have completed several races including 2 half marathons and I'm training for my 3rd that's in March. One of my goals is to complete a triathlon, too...and I'm in the same boat as you, I need to become a better swimmer! I'm a big fan of Scandal, too. I've been catching up on it via Netflix.

Would you like to be friends?

Hi Heather! I completely forgot about this comment because whenever I check my LJ on my phone I sort of forget to respond. So, yes, let's be friends! I am adding you now. :)
