LJ transfer

[dreadful_penny]

Hey! Just set-up my blog here (just in case LJ takes a nosedive) and looking for friends/communities to add to reading page. I don't know how much I'll be posting, so you may not see too many entries from me.

Name: Melissa
Age: 30
Interests: Music (pretty much all kinds except for heavy industrial or screaming metal), art, reading, writing (love writing prompt communities), politics, history (mostly U.S. history), mythology, the occult, movies, CSS junkies, people who use Twitter, urban exploration photography, cooking (and exchanging recipes)
Dislikes: Homophobes (or any bigots in general), "princesses", people who like Jersey Shore, people obsessed with anime or WoW
Obsessions: Robert Pattinson, books, Glee, horror movies, The Bird and The Bee (especially their Hall & Oates cover album), politics

I'm generally looking for people who are over 18 but if you're still in your last years of high school, that's fine. A lot of my blogs are about politics and I tend to post memes just for fun, but pretty much only for friends to see. I banter a lot about entertainment, like posting movie reviews. I also post a lot of photos and videos on blogs so if you don't like blogs that are media-heavy, it would probably be a good idea to add but not subscribe. As far as communities, I'm looking for anything with political discussions OR recipes/foodies OR movies OR icon/banner makers OR layout makers. You don't have to ask before adding and most of my blogs will be public anyway. Thanks!

Coming over from LJ. I've gotten tired of all the attacks over there. I'll still keep both.

But I'm looking for some more friends over here.

My name is Andrea I'm 25 and from Illinois.

A little about me.
I like animals more than I do a lot of people.
I have a lot of animals. I talk about them a lot and post pictures of them.
30 day memes will be seen in my journal from time to time.
I write about my day, rant about my job and anything else I find amusing. So don't be surprised if you see GIFs thrown in for no reason.
I like to get to know the people on my list and become friends with them.
I'm going to try to keep this list smaller than the one on my LJ because I want to get to know everyone even more. (not that I don't know the people over there) 
Bullet points are my favorite.
I post and go through my friends journals almost everyday.

Things I like: 
Animals
Photos
Sleeping
my friends
my mom and sister
exploring
laughing at nonsense
30 day memes
gifs
pixels
cigarettes
open minded people

things I don't really care for:
Waking up
early mornings
storms
tornadoes
animal abuse
my job
other drivers

feel free to add me! 

Greetings from Japan

[spry]

Hello! I am new to dreamwidth and looking for friends. Pretty obvious, I suppose, since I am posting here.

Here's a bit about me:

I am 27 years old. I live in Japan long term but I am not Japanese. I am a preschool teacher and absolutely love my job. In public I am quite extroverted but it's kind of out of necessity-- I can't properly do my job if I'm not outgoing, after all. Like many people online, I am naturally shy. I will not let that get in the way of posting and commenting here, though.

I have been online since I was 12, but grew up playing computer games and such. I never had a gameboy or any other game system like that-- commodore 64 was where it was at back in the old days at my house. I still love computers, but I sometimes feel like technology is starting to pass me by. I am a bit of an old lady at times.

Likes, Loves, and etc.: 

I love clothes. I love to eat food. My biggest hobby right now is cross stitch. I am constantly making something, especially if I have time to sit down and watch TV or a movie. I am super clumsy and have absolutely no coordination at all. I tend to blame this on being left handed, but I guess that's just an excuse. Nevertheless, I love sports. I especially love football/soccer/whatever you want to call it in your respective country. My favorite team, the team that made me fall back in love with the sport, is the Japanese NT. Every single player is awesome. I also support St.Pauli in the Bundesliga.

I listen to a lot of music, but sometimes get made fun of for listening to music that is too "edgy" for my personality. (I don't even know...)

I draw a lot. I don't consider myself to be very good at it, but I have fun nonetheless. I also used to write a lot, but I am having self-confidence issues with this right now, and it's been 4 years since I've written anything for real.

I love mysteries. My life role model is probably Jane Marple. I also love urban legends and the supernatural, but I don't really believe in them for real. Mostly. I love the 1990s. Don't ask me why, but lately I have been watching only dramas from the 1990s and I am obsessed. Mom jeans. Life before cell phones. Mm. Amazing!

Things I don't really like:

I don't really like anime. No, that's not true. I sometimes read comics or what have you, but in general I don't really care about comic books or anime TV shows. I get serious second-hand embarrassment when I see other foreigners in Japan that are here only because they love anime or manga. I'm sorry if this makes me a bitch.  I also don't really like to cook, though I wish I did. Other than that, there's not a lot that I don't like. I'm pretty easy going in general.

In conclusion: 

I don't mind if you don't share all the same interests as me, as long as you don't mind that I might ramble on about things that you have no idea about. I love reading people's posts when they are genuinely excited about something that they love, and I am quite open to learning about new things. There are some times that I may not be able to comment right away, but in general I am pretty good with keeping up with people's posts.
