hello from seattle!

[ex_betsy188]

i've posted here before, but i'm going to try again.

my name's betsy, and i'm from seattle. i have a boyfriend who lives on whidbey island, so i spend a lot of time there, too. music is my big passion in life. i love rock & roll the most! check out my last.fm profile to see what i'm into. i'd absolutely love to have some dw friends with similar taste in music, but it's not important that you like everything i like.

i play guitar and bass, but i'm not in a band. i just started collecting my little ponies today (i have two so far). i also collect mermaid things. i want to start collecting records, too. mp3 just doesn't cut it, you know?

as far as my journal goes, i'm definitely not a writer. basically, i write how i talk. mostly, i just write day-to-day stuff. it's not very interesting, but i'm a nice person, and i comment on other's entries when i have something to say. i'm a sucker for a good meme, but i don't post an obnoxious amount of them, or anything.

( lookit this babe! )

more about me here.

Hello, addme! I come here, as many folks do, by way of LiveJournal. I am Lena, twenty-four years old, an Alabama resident, and a graduate student in history. I am a feminist, a lesbian, and a princess. I own two cats, named Vesper Lynd and Mr. Bond. I collect designer perfume, cosmetics, pens, and books. I play Vampire: the Requiem in my spare time, I write fanfiction for Sailormoon and Casino Royale/James Bond, and I am working on my first novel.

Things I (will) post: photography, my writing, poetry, current events in my life. While I consider myself to be an extremely political person, I view my journal as a respite from that (extremely pressure-filled) side of my life, and will likely post political entries with a warning. That being said, I am so left that I consider the word "left" a pejorative term, but I will be happy to add folks of all political leanings. Things I cannot abide: sexism, racism, homophobia, religious narrow-mindedness, and other social ills. I imagine that I will not lock entries in this journal, and so I imagine I'll have a very open friending policy.

What I watch: Revolutionary Girl Utena, Oniisama e, Hellsing, House M.D., The Tudors, Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, Voltron. Films I enjoy: Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace, The Golden Compass, The Duchess, Marie Antoinette, Star Wars, the Harry Potter films. My favorite books and authors: the Harry Potter series, Gregory Maguire, Margaret Atwood, The Other Boleyn Girl, George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Lilith Saintcrow...

I am looking for: sensitive people with refined taste; cultured individuals; anyone who shares my interests, and has a wish to enjoy a genuine friendship. If you think we'd be excellent friends, please, don't hesitate to speak up!

And, here I am:
