NAME: Kathryn, though I often prefer Ezra.
AGE: Just turned 20 last week, actually; and I'm very relieved at the prospect that I'm a little bit closer to having people respect me as an equal (maybe). xD
INTERESTS: Music, theology (specifically Hinduism in all its forms), literate roleplays, writing/reading, playing the clarinet (although I've been neglecting mine lately), freshwater aquariums, anatomy, strange facts, Doctor Who, Star Trek, The Beatles, George Harrison, Poets of the Fall, Community, select other fandoms that I can't think of...
HOBBIES: Roleplaying in literate roleplays (seriously, I love both getting inside character's heads, and I love the freedom of writing as ridiculously as I'd like at length~), ocassional graphic- or icon-making, reading, going for walks, shopping with friends.
LOOKING FOR: I don't really like the idea of setting requirements for meeting friends, but I'll only get along with fairly open-minded people. If you tend to post inner ramblings/personal things as well as fandom, we should be fine. :)
ANYTHING ELSE?: I'm a queer female, a licensed massage therapist, and I've often been called a hippie (though I'd like to think I shower more than that). I'm mostly of European descent but I love Eastern religions and philosophies, so if that sort of thing squicks you, turn back now. ;) I had a lot of issues with coming to terms with life/death/the meaning of life when I was younger, and discovering Hinduism and my own 'roots' more has really helped me with that. I love languages and will often either lament the lack of francophones around me, or mention trying to learn another one. I've moved over from LJ in the hopes to get a new start around friendlier people, and to help support a site that's run under better intentions (in keeping with my policy of supporting smaller businesses as opposed to mass corporations).

I'd friend you, but we're already friends. ;____; Uh, uh, I can defriend you, and add you again? -shot-

I love you.

lol You're cute, honey. ♥

ahahahahaha your icon XDXDXDXDXD

Heehee, I couldn't help but go for a TNG joke for my icon here. xD

Oboist linguist omnivore hier.

LJ kind of died lately?

It did, yeah. =| The site's constantly running slow/down, which I'm told is largely due to DDOS attacks, and I've been hearing lot of questionable things about how it's run.

Add to that my disgust with a lot of the 'open-minded' people on that site and the general hivemind...and yeah, I'm running for shelter over here. xD

(Note to self: find a clarinet icon!)

At least we have DW to make up for the LJ issues.

I think it depends on who your friends are, but... right.

(I was about to point you to a community with icons but I had difficulty locating one... Perhaps ask

rashiea where to find similar clarinet icons?)

Hey, so you are into Hinduism? I was doing some connected missions in a game today that talked about an artifact called The Wheel of Destruction and it had markings symbolizing Kali which it called The Black Madness and also the Hindu god of destruction. Anything true there?

Hope you don't mind me jumping into this conversation! >___>

Though I've never heard of the Wheel of Destruction, I am also no archeologist, so I'm sure it exists. However, Shiva is known as the destroyer, and Kali is his consort, and is essentially a female version of him. The name Kali comes from kāla, which means black, time, death, lord of death, Shiva. She is considered to be a fierce tantric goddess.

So basically, yeah, sounds pretty accurate!

:-o
hippies shower.
it's gamers that don't.

is squicks a word?

+1

Squick is a Usenet word.

Then where does the phrase 'dirty hippie' come from?
Can't argue with you about gamers, though.

It's commonly used (generally online or out loud/in slang English) to mean what amounts, basically, to a less-extreme type of 'disgust' or 'bother'. Or at least, that's how I hear it used (and how I'm sure you've heard it used). I suppose it is generally used among people who've been through internet-culture growing up.

dirty republicans.

anyway, added. cuz you taught me a new word. :-p

You seem interesting; I've added you.

I've added you back! :)

I, too, have migrated over here from LJ (though I still keep two journals over there, as well). And, based on your interests, I think we'd get along famously. :D Can I add you?

Ummm... So I don't know how creepy/late this is, but do you mean if I add you? We can babble in French about how great The Beatles are (though my French is rather atrocious). Plus,

badkarma seems to like you :P

Not creepy at all! Actually I'm excited to see you want to friend me, as I keep seeing you around Kat's journal and you seem nice. xD; And ehee, you speak French?(Ça m'est égale! Mon français est assez mal aussi. xD) Pfft, she just pretends to when there's company. :P

Hi, friending you if that's okay? I'm on the run from LJ too, but mostly to escape my bad fanfic writing addiction (which I have sworn off, at least on DW. I mean the addiction is bad, not the fanfic. Although maybe that too.) I like languages too, though it's Spanish I want to improve.

You seem to have a variety of interests. I would like to add you.
