Friending Frenzy Time!

[lindalee_]

It’s that time! I'm hosting another friending frenzy!

Let’s shake lj up a little and have a friending frenzy! Many of us are unhappy with the dust bunnies floating around lj communities as well as the general quietness of lj. So if you’re looking for some new friends, here’s the place to meet up!

Instructions:1. Post a brief introduction about

Comments

i'll play!

i post fairly regularly, although i read more than i post these days. i'm one of those bluntly honest people... i will tell you if that dress makes your butt look big. my blog ain't the krispy kreme store--i don't sugarcoat anything. i'm not sure what makes me a good lj friend, but i am one!

I'm in!

Kristen, 34, NJ, freelance copywriter/journalist/author
very happily married--> no kids!

i post at least weekly and rely on LJ for support since I work from home, solo. so it's nice to pop in and get instant feedback or a comment or whatnot.

can always use new pals:)

I'd like to add you - just posted a comment below with some info about me.

[liminal_space]

Would you be willing to be an inspiration and answer an occasional question or four about the writing/publishing process? :)

A bit about me:

late 30s/English teacher for punky 7th graders/married with child and critters/Californian.

I've added you so you can peruse my journal...see if I seem like a friend fit. =D

[writtenoutloud]

sure! nice to meet you!

[artkouros]

OK, so here's my plea - I'm looking for new friends, people who are like me, or who like people like me.

Me:
55 YO gay male
Engineer (NASA)
maker
cook
artist
reader
grandfather, family oriented
Houstonian
left-leaning, but not party affiliated
recently seriously diet/health conscious

You:

Pluses -
loves life
maker, and posts about it
cook, and posts about it
artist or craftsperson, and posts about it
knows more about some things than me
does real things in real life

Minuses -
hates their life
extreme political partisanship
twitter feeds
fan fiction
does pretend things in pretend life

My LJ is normally friends only, but you can hardly ask people to friend a friends only journal, so I've opened up the past 6 months for perusal.

Thanks!!!

I'd like to add ya! Unfortunately I have to keep my journal friends-only or I would have opened it up to for perusal, but I added a comment below with some info about me.

Hiya! I love life :D

I'm not an artist or a craftsperson, but I love to cook and bake and I talk about that. My journal is mostly about my children, my garden, and other day-to-day stuff. Not working right now due to the age of the kidlets, but when I am at work, I'm a high school teacher (German, and Social Studies). My journal's mostly open, and my intro is stickied at the top, if you want to check it out.

I will play too! Christy, 30, Burbank, CA - music composer (concert music, film, TV, advertising, etc) who works full time as music director and in-house composer at a music library in Pasadena, and plays piano at a Unitarian church and a reform Jewish temple. I'm very happily married to Adam, 29, who is an electrician and martial arts teacher. I also study martial arts and we are practicing Buddhists. We have two cats and no kids. I made a pretty strong New Years resolution to post more on LJ but I'd say I do about twice per week and it's mostly about life, music, family, career - the usual! I am also very heavily into George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars. I read obsessively and love going to the movies. And I'd love to have some new LJ friends!

I came over here via artkouros, and I'll throw my hat into the ring, too ... I'm a gay man living in Montana with his dog, and working as an historian. I generally do one post a day, with a fair number of photos. I'm pretty good about always reading my friends list, though my commenting can admittedly get a little sporadic.

Most of my entries are public, so feel free to stop by!

[blue_eye]

I'd love to add you. I am adding you so you can read some of my posts.

[kishenehn]

Added you back! Look forward to getting to know you. :)

[punkymcmunky]

I added you. Add me back if you like. :-)
