You had me at "eclectic pagan Quaker." And again, I fail at order of operations, but I've taken the liberty of adding you to my f'list; let me know if this is problematic or you have any queries.

Oh, hello! A fellow Quaker! *waves*

I am trying to get back into posting, and I feel like we might be like-minded in interesting ways, and not-like minded in other, even more interesting ways! Let me know if you'd be comfortable with my adding you as an LJ friend. :)

*giggles* I like the couch potato outfit, with blanket included! When I go to burns and want to be naked but it's cold, I often wear a blanket. I approve as this as a wardrobe choice *grins*

Hi! you seem just my sort of person *smiles* and I have never met an atheist witch before -- I'm friends with atheists and witches but among those I know they're very different groups. I'd love to know more about your spirituality!

Want to try being friends & see how we get on?
