Hi there! Let me know if you'd like an Aussie friend. I'd link you to my comment but for some reason it got marked as spam and won't show up here *grumbles*

Hello! I too like to do things with words, love theater (though I don't attend as many plays as I used to--I should work on that), and drink quite a lot of tea. Shall we be friends? I've got a comment further down the thread, if you want to know a bit more....

You would think it would be having a kid, but really I'd say getting treated for postpartum depression. I went from the worst depression of my life to enjoying my baby (which I never thought was going to be possible).

7. If you died and someone was trying to summon you from the Other Sidetm, what 3 items might they use to get your attention?:Probably things that really annoy me would catch my ( ... )

1. Age and location: 32; South Carolina

2. What labels / orientation / other details are important for others to know about you?: Ummm, none? Lol. I don't know. I am heterosexual and married if that matters to you, but if it does matter, I'm not sure I'd want to be friends? I guess it depends why it matters.

3. Describe your living situation: My husband and I live in a house that we bought last year with our dog and five cats.

4. What do you like to post and/or read about on LiveJournal?: I post about my life and like to read about other people's lives. I'm not really into fandoms or anything like that.

5. What is your formal education level (and major{s}, if applicable)?: Eeek, I am finishing my Bachelor of Arts in English literature in December, ten years late! Actually ten and a half years late, if you want to get technical. You'll find the story behind this in my intro post if we become friends.

6. What has been a life-changing moment for you over the past decade? Definitely buying a house. I royally screwed up my credit ( ... )

I laughed because I used my "I voted" selfie because it was also the most recent. :)

Were we ever friends? I stopped using LJ for a period, and I don't remember who I may have lost, but you seem very familiar! Maybe it's because we have several friends in common. Either way, do you mind if I add you?

I honestly have no idea haha. I've been on LJ since 2002, so it's definitely possible. A lot of friends have come and gone in that time! But yes we do have several mutual friends; I always see you in other people's comments! Adding you now!

1. Age and location: 30s, Phoenix, Arizona (although recently relocated from Washington State)

2. What labels / orientation / other details are important for others to know about you?: I don't know that I really think much about labels. I am heterosexual, married, cis-female.

3. Describe your living situation: I live in with my husband and our small dog. We rent an apartment in midtown because I wanted to be close to work (I work a lot...), and we didn't think buying in a new city was smart idea. So, we're living in our apartment and learning the lay of the land.

4. What do you like to post and/or read about on LiveJournal?: I post about my daily life, work, travel, life events, things happening in the world, etc. I like to read journals like that - I like getting to know people. I prefer more regular, medium-length posts to occasional really long ones.

5. What is your formal education level (and major{s}, if applicable)?: I have a Bachelor of Arts in Russian Studies, a Master of Arts in Russian, Eastern European Studies (focus ( ... )

He is a toy poodle. He is absolutely adorable! I tend to post photos of him from time to time. (I especially put them on my instagram, and when I remember I post them here too.)

Adding you now!

6. What has been a life-changing moment for you over the past decade?I was in two long term relationships (one was almost 5 years, one was about 2-3; it was hard to tell toward the end). I feel like I wasted my time. I moved in with the latter, only for him to move back in with his parents 6 months later. I had to get a second job to pay my bills after the lease (which his parents were paying his ( ... )

We have quite a few things in common, I love Halloween, also have an English degree and am still an emo kid deep down (I had purple hair until earlier this year and also have an industrial and quite a few tattoos). Want to be friends?

Sure! Added. What tattoos do you have?

I have 13 so I'm not going to list them all lol, but a couple of my favorites are phases of the moon and a potted cactus. My most recent one, which is still in process, is a half sleeve of deer antlers and wildflowers.
