hello hello

[ghostwire]

NAME: Kat

AGE: 36

INTERESTS & HOBBIES (and a few extra details): I love to read and collect books; I'm the epitome of "bookishness". Mainly: contemporary fiction, poetry, essays, nature/science writing (especially women's relationships with the environment), memoirs (especially those about mental illness and recovery), some graphic novels (Adrian Tomine, Alison Bechdel, Lynda Barry), la la la. I'm on Goodreads (www.goodreads.com/ghostwire) I like to take long walks, I watch silly television shows, I have a crazy cat that I adore, I"m a night owl, I like riding my bike, I'm a homebody, I'm extremely shy/introverted, I deal with mental health issues, I'm an INFJ, I'm a MSTie, music keeps me sane (my first love is classical, but I also love alt country (just got hooked), dream pop (Cocteau Twins!), post rock, americana, gothic americana (Woven Hand!), NEKO CASE, Veda Hille, PJ Harvey, Kristin Hersh, Kaki King), I could go on and on, but for the sake of brevity (too late, oops) I'll stop there. (www.last.fm/user/skymotel)

LOOKING FOR: Kind souls, fellow dreamers, kindred spirits.

ANYTHING ELSE?: I'll be up front: I'm gay and I struggle with mental illness. If either things make you cringe, we probably won't get along. Oh, and I'm a dork. Big time.

Hi, Kat. Please, call me Val or Valichou. I am 32 and I live in Canada. I am a big dreamer, too. I support LGBT rights and I also struggle with mental illness. I have a few sticky updates on my page if you are curious to know more. If I do not sound too crazy, I would love to be your friend. :)

I'm huge into books too, though I love my trashy novels. I work in a library and I have 3 cats. I also struggle with bipolar disorder. Add?

[ghostwire]

sure! nice to meet you.

[piratice]

hi!

I'm also a huge fan of books (I don't work in the industry unfortunately but I have three book blogs of varying levels of activity). May I add you?

[sitonmyinterface]

Always love bookish people! I've added you :)

[october_rain]

I love Cocteau Twins! I'm also a dreamer and shy introvert who prefers to stay inside, except for the periodic long walks out on a nice, peaceful nature trail. I'm also a night owl. I've tried to change this several times but it never sticks. I'd love to add you if that's okay? :-)

[ghostwire]

Adding you if that's cool! I'm Kath, also 36, also queer (so very, very bi), also a lover of books although lately it's really hard to find the mental energy to read. I do have a Goodreads account though: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/24845136-kath

I was an avowed cat person too until I got my little hairless dog 6 years ago... now I only have eyes for pooches. Currently obsessing over the new Anne of Green Gables series and that's ramping up my dorkiness but also leading me to actually blog here for the first time in a while, so I'm looking for new friends while I'm at it :)

added you! :)

Hi! I looked at your profile and it seems we have a lot of interests in common... I'm a bookbinder from Finland, queer, avid reader & observer and love to stay at home a lot. Oh and I'm INFP : >

My style of writing is usually something like 30% of what I've actually done and 70% of random musings and observations. I've been looking for some new friends since I just moved from LJ and not all my LJ friends migrated here. Add me if you feel like it & I'll add you back! Adding new people is always a random gamble at best, so no hard feelings if something doesn't click.

Oh, you can also find me on Goodreads & Last.fm!

[ghostwire]

nice to meet you!

added. :)

Hello. I'm an introvert and love cats, and I have some struggles with mental health too (mainly anxiety). Would you like to be friends? I'll add you so you can read my introduction post (which is about all there is to see atm because I've only just started using this account).
