Since we barely know each other!tooby3January 13 2011, 17:56:00 UTC
1) Who are YOU and how did you find ME? My name is Christine and I'm a 36 year old mom of one 2-year-old son. I live In Boston, MA with my husband and our two cats (specifically Roslindale). I'm an editor for a magazine for C-suite level IT execs and work full time out of my house while my husband stays home with our son. We met in the March 2011 due date community because we're both due with our second kids and have a lot in common. 2) Are you really de-lurking, or have you commented on my posts before? Do I comment on your posts frequently? See subject line. 3) Why did you choose Livejournal as your blogging platform? Or, if you've switched to something bigger and better, why did you choose that and how has it benefited you? I have another LJ on here, lady_goodman that I started in 2001 because I liked the various privacy options. Like you, I wasn't looking to start a blog but wanted something a little beyond a personal journal. I like to be able to write out stuff that I'm not necessarily looking to broadcast to the entire internet and have control over who reads what. 4) What is your LEAST favorite vegetable? Sweet potato is the first thing that springs to mind although I can manage to eat them if they're in small doses within a soup or in pie/dessert form! It's a texture thing - they're too mealy for me! 5) What is your favorite blog that you read daily/weekly/whenever you get a chance? Why would you recommend it to others? I've been really into this one lately: http://www.themidwifenextdoor.com/ - I also really enjoy reading babyslime's livejournal, my own e-stalking example!
I should read more at www.themidwifenextdoor.com. I also love reading babyslime, especially when she was posting photography tutorials :)
I think the community aspect of LJ has really helped people to find others with similar interests (i.e. our close due dates and planning homebirths). I'm not sure that other forums can say that.
