The Noticeboard
Hi, I'm Katie.
Fairly shy but also looking for new LJ friends if we're going to like each other. Nice to meet you (I think).
Ever wanted to leave a comment on someone's journal, but it didn't relate to their latest post? Here's your chance! If you wanna be friends with this friends-only journal, you wanna tell me off about something, you wanna tell me I'm loved, you need to ask for my help, you want to share something cool or interesting, funny or important that you think I should see, or anything else I didn't mention, fire away. I also invite prayer requests if you have a need.
Rules:
1) honest debate is welcome; name-calling, gaslighting and other general trollery, are not. Offenders risk being publically called out, and repeated offenders risk banishment
2) please flag for Age 18+ content (shouldn't be an issue for comments, but worth stating)
3) please flag content that may be upsetting to other readers (ditto), but please use the phrase "content warning" / "CW", rather than "trigger warning" / "TW", because "being triggered" is a medical term for people with PTSD, and it's much more serious than just feeling upset/shaken by something; even then, it only describes activities in the past and not the future, so it can't be 'warned' about anyway
Housekeeping:
* These days I am mostly using my journal for entries to The Real LJ Idol competition. Feel free to check it out -- when it is in season, there are many fine entries written on an approximately weekly-ish basis.
* I have had this journal a long time. So I've changed, my opinions and priorities have changed. If you're new here, please don't go poking around in the histories; it's not classy. Just look at the past couple of pages to see who I am now :) If you're from Idol, and you're new to the competition, and you're observant, you'll likely spot copyright1983 in the tags. Yes, it's the same guy from the competition. Yes, we met through the competition. Yes, we were in a (trans-continental) romantic relationship for a while. No, that is no longer the case. No, I don't think I've written directly about why/how it all went south. And no, I don't think I'm going to. Just to get that out of the way
* I have an account on Dreamwidth with the same username. Feel free to add me there if you'd rather, although it has been a long while since I've updated. The journals are not mirrors of each other. In fact, personal entries are more likely to be over there; I only revived this account for the competition and particularly for the ease of commenting, more than for the writing.
And pick up a pin and leave me a message if it has nowhere else to go.
All comments will be screened.
