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!

American Photographer on the West Coast

[anywhereanyone.livejournal.com]

I’m Josh. I’m a photographer in my 30s. Here are a few basic things to know about me and my journal:
* Photography is both my income, hobby, and passion. Consequently the vast majority of my posts are photos. I post photos to mark events, share what I see, and enjoy a personal memory here and there. Unless I’m asking for it I’m generally not looking for a critique. I love comments on photos if they resonate with you, but you aren’t under any obligation. My journal is mostly photos, and I typically post one a day.
* I’m a liberal, agnostic, childless, pet-less, 100% sober individual. If your views on life are super traditional we are likely not going to click. My journal is by no means political, but those are my leanings in case you were wondering.
* I’m more emotional than the average guy, I’d like to think I’m a very caring and good friend to the people on LJ I connect with. Of course that part is subjective. I have a lot of friends on my list that are struggling with serious issues. I used to say that I wasn’t looking for anymore friends suffering from depression simply because it was too hard for me to have to read about sadness all of the time without internalizing a bit. I guess now I’m more to a stage of - if you have a problem in your life that is big that you aren’t trying to improve upon, I would ask that you skip me. If you are working it out, and could use some support - I like helping. I go through some dark moods myself, I think everyone does. I do try to remain somewhat positive.
* Sometimes I rant about business stuff in my journal. I absolutely love my job and I don’t want to do anything else, but like any job it has it’s ups and downs.
* I love really getting to know people on LJ, and even though sometimes that can be hard with so many great people living so far away I do think it’s ultimately worth it. I’m not opposed to connecting on more than one level of social media and I’ve met quite a few people from here in my time.
* I comment when I feel like it, and if you write in massive text clumps I tend to avoid those entries. Give me some paragraph breakups and I am more likely to chime in. If you are keeping a tally count on comments and like to do friends cuts a lot I’m probably too laid back for you.
* Due to the nature of my business a lot of my life is fairly public on the internet. I ask that whatever I talk about in my journal stays there.

I am friending you because I am always liking photo posts. I am way into photography and art, liberal, child-free, and don't post about being drunk/high because that isn't my thing.

friends?

[anywhereanyone.livejournal.com]

And because we have the same birthday.

[shadownlite.livejournal.com]

I totally missed that! Wow!

[anywhereanyone.livejournal.com]

I tried to send you a message, but you've got that disabled if you're not friends with someone. Anyhow I added you but you didn't add me back, so I un-added(?) you on the assumption that you had checked out my journal and weren't interested in following me (which is fine). But I just wanted to say the un-friend was based on that. So if you do add me back, I will re-add you. This seems like a silly paragraph.

[shadownlite.livejournal.com]

I added you and it said I added you. Must be a weird livejournal thing?

[shadownlite.livejournal.com]

I readded you because it seems LJ did some sort of weird thing where you disappeared after I added you. So annoying when stuff like that happens.

[anywhereanyone.livejournal.com]

Well that's definitely odd. I re-added you too. Birthday club is back.

[shadownlite.livejournal.com]

I remember adding you and all too. I liked your photos. But then it said when I checked you were not a friend. So baffling. I re-added you and hope it sticks now.

I would like to friend you because I, like above, really enjoy photo posts. I am also liberal, agnostic, and childless (although I would like to begin a family in the somewhat near future). I have two cats that I talk about from time to time, and I'm not 100% sober, although I am leaning that way for personal reasons and really don't drink much anymore. I'm not much of a "problem" person... I used to be, but since hitting my mid-20s all that angst has sort of evened out and mostly now I just want to find a job I love and live a happy life. And I live on the West Coast, too!

Go for it!

Mind if I add you? I love a good photo-blog.

Go for it!

[slunickomoje.livejournal.com]

I'd like to add you!

[anywhereanyone.livejournal.com]

Ok!

[angelamermaid.livejournal.com]

I'm friending you because we have a similar approach to LJ. I use paragraph breaks! I don't count comments! I have positivity! But not all the time!
