2020 LJ Friending Frenzy
I did this a couple years ago and was super suprised when I got almost 3 THOUSAND replies. @_@. I have some friends who want to come back to LJ but need more friends, so I figured i'd do it again and see if we can at least get them some more LJ friends, if not others, too!

Name, Age: Sara, 36
Current Location: Cleveland, Ohio
Hometown: Small town in western PA Called Kittanning. If you've ever seen The Mothman Prophecies or My Bloody Valentine 3D, you've seen my hometown. Hahaha.
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Religious/Spiritual Identity: Atheist
Political Identity: Super liberal
Significant other, kids?: I live with my boyfriend, Dan. We've been dating for about 7.5 years, living together for about 6.5. We went through a rough patch in the fall and all but broke up (his choice), but we decided to stay together and work on our relationship. We did a few sessions of couples counseling and are doing much better now. We have no kids and don't want them. We are planning to adopt a dog at the end of this month, though!
Job: Manager of a branch library in a four branch system. I do management stuff, but also still do front-facing customer service.
Major in college, if applicable: Majored in English, then went to get my Masters in Library and Information Science.
WHO YOU ARE
What are you passionate about?: Social justice issues, the environment, trying new things/visiting new places, my bed (haha).
What are you interested in?: Right now, I am obsessing over getting a dog, so I'm looking up all kinds of product reviews and stalking the animal shelter for cute doggos. I'm also into seeing live music, mostly pop-punk/emo bands of the early 2000s because even though I may get older, my music tastes stay the same. Haha.
What are your hobbies?: Reading (I read 136 books in 2019), trying different beers/visiting breweries, sitting on patios drinking said beers, traveling, watching bad horror movies, going to see bands, hiking, and coloring occasionally.
LJ
How do you use LJ?: Mostly accounts of my days if I'm up to something interesting, my thoughts and feels. All that good stuff. I tend to include photos in my entries because I like seeing photos in others' entries. If I'm posting a lot of photos, I usually put them behind a cut or break them up behind multiple cuts. When we get a dog, I can promise you there will be TONS of doggo photos for your enjoyment.
Do you comment?: Yes, when I feel like I have something to say! Sometimes I'm bad at commenting if I pop in and read on my phone, so I need to get better about that.
What kind of LJ friends are you looking for?: I'm open to any types of friends, really! I like friends who are engaged and interactive. LJ has brought a lot of great people into my life, some of whom I've met, and others who have been long time internet friends, so I really like to form connections with people. I'm not into any of the popular fandoms, so if that's all you post about, I don't think we'd make great friends.
Returnees -- How long have you been away?:
Returnees -- What have you missed about LJ?:
Anything else you'd like to mention?: I never really left LJ, though I did take a break when I made the questionable decision of selling a popular MLM clothing line with a friend for almost two years before I quit at the end of 2018. I purchased a permanent account back in the day, so I'm not going anywhere as long as LJ still exists.

I'm impressed by all the books you read last year! I'm hoping to hit 60 in 2020, which will be a stretch for me. :) I also love going to shows and like you, my musical taste doesn't ever seem to change even as I age. Hehehe.

I read constantly. I got a Kindle about six months ago, so I even read while I brush my teeth. Haha

No but seriously, I would love to get to know you if you're down :)
