I'm a polyglot anatomist who writes novels and has too many hobbies :)
Hi, my name is Richard, I'm 22, and live in Perth, Scotland. I just moved to DW from LJ and am looking for some friends here.
I graduated anatomy last year, and this is a major interest of mine; I'm interested in the sciences in general. I am also a writer; I'm working on my second novel, and write poetry and lyrics on the side. Other interests include learning foreign languages (working on 11!), coding, crochet, geography, and ancient history and mythologies.
I don't really have criteria for the friends I add, but I do like to connect with someone beyond us simply reading each other's entries. That said, I don't expect (nor give) comments superfluously for their own sake, but it's nice if we interact more than a couple times a month!
The things I write about are mainly my day, my hobbies, and my musings. Just so people know what they're in for: I have lupus, so I do write about it, but I try to keep positive about my health, and have been told I write very optimistically about my disability. :) I am working through the 5000 Question Survey as a nice way for others to get to know me, but also for my own self-analysis. Occasionally I put up photo posts (under a cut if more than four or so).

I love languages too, I speak Slovenian, Italian and English and to some degree Serbian, Japanese and German, but would love to learn more - at least the basics. I see among your interests you list grammar, books, photography and cats, I like that, too. Perhaps we can be friends.

LANGUAGE! /also classical musician

How many more than a couple times monthly should we interact? /busybusybusy
I see your lupus and raise you a car accident's brain trauma injury!
For that reason, I have to deal with my Uni's Office of Services for Students with Disabilities a bit more frequently than I'd prefer.
5000 Question Survey? That sounds like the ultimate in meme-age.
I write mostly about what's going on/what I'm thinking about, aided by Socrates. Most of my DreamWidth is readers-only, but here is something recent that is public. I don't even know why that one is public. Maybe because of the Communism thing? I joined the Communist Party of the United States of America a bit ago. I dunno. I approve of the idea of militant-socialism more than the losing-the-Cold-War part of things.
I study the USSR and about twenty-eight other things like Latin/Greek, Sociology, Newswriting, and the oboe.
Anatomy sounds interesting! Of all the sciences, I like Physics and Astronomy the most - but not the staring-up-at-the-stars-and-philosophising junk like some of my Classics classmates... <_< >_> I find that boring and mind-deadening. I loved studying the structure of the universe a year ago - the chemical anatomy of stars, the maybe-five kinds of stars, the different kinds of light, and all of the Physics behind it. :D Tycho Brahe, Copernicus and all them.
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving... and revolving at 900 mph!

I feel pretty bad when I say "contact" as a requirement as I can be bad at getting onto these sites, but basically I like to make comments where I can, and it's nice to keep a dialog going a bit if it happens.
Ouch! Well, it sucks you suffer from it, but then it's kind of nice to find other people with chronic health issues. :P
I love astronomy too. :) (My sister is a Classicist, haha, and while I love much of the study, I'm not here for their "science" :P).
You seem totally awesome, by the way, and I'm adding you back. :)
Re: LANGUAGE! /also classical musician
Well, this is only useful if you actually talk with the other person.
You learn to live with it.
Ooh, she is? :D I feel bad claiming Classicism cos my University's Classics department is about as dead as Latin is supposed to be. I think their "science" is a loose interpretation of the word.
Science comes from sciens [scientis], the participle "knowing [of knowing]", you know!
ETA: Oops, I got excited and hit comment before I was done. Thank you so much! And the Facebook thing, too. Talk with you more later!

I study language, though obliquely through literature. As far as languages go, I know Spanish, Old English, and Middle English. I would like to teach myself Latin this summer. I'm also very interested in coding languages. Which do you know?
I also love to knit and crochet!
Additionally, I'm trying to get a slew of health problems straightened out, so I can somewhat relate to the lupus. It's going on seven months and I don't have answers yet.
Take care.

I'm relatively new to coding languages; I know HTML, CSS and I'm starting properly on PHP and a tiny bit of JavaScript.
Yay!
Ahhh, that sucks. I don't want to panic you, but I waited seven years for diagnosis, so I hope your problems are not in the same group as mine! Waiting for answers is the most frustrating thing; I sympathize.

I love languages, and I've studied... nine, I think, but... I never could study that many at the same time. My problem is that I always get interested in a new language, and forget all about the old ones. I'm currently trying to learn German, but it might go a bit faster if I opened my textbooks more often than once a month. >_>
I'm interested in astronomy too, and history and mythologies. And I'd like to say that I'm a writer, but that might be stretching it a little bit...
Actually, I just made a post in this community if you want to find out a little bit more about me before deciding whether to add me or not.

Would love to be friends!
