Another LJ Refugee

[viciousladybug]

Name: Missy
Age: 40
Location: Michigan
Gender: Female

Interests: Yoga/Meditation, Poetry, Reading Non-Fiction, Crafting/ETSY, Camping, Hiking, Kayaking, Backpacking, Bird Watching, Coffee/Tea, Thrifting, Music (indie/alternative/metal/rock/rap), Cross-Country Train Travel, Recycling/Upcycling

I mostly post about: my two dogs Spam (Rat Terrier) and Pilar (chihuahua), daily life, crafting mishaps, mental illness (I have bipolar I), small business woes, sometimes family/travel.

I rarely post about: religion, although I was raised Catholic but don't practice at any church now.

I never post about: team sports. I just don't play any or watch any on TV.

How often do you post? I try my best to post every other day although on LJ I was a daily poster.

How about commenting? I like to interact with people on my list and get to know them over time.

Looking for? I am quite liberal and progressive as we call it these days and welcome all friends regardless of geographic region, ethnicity/race, straight or LGBTQ+, immigration status, age, education, or even music taste. I do fiercely believe in human rights for all and believe in being a steward of the environment and might mention these issues from time to time, so fair warning.

That is me in the icon. For now. I have a haircut appointment tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

I think we have a lot in common! :)

[viciousladybug]

Yes! I added you. Thanks. 🙂

Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

It sounds like we have a lot in common. Among other things, I use my blog for posting poetry, including a live writing activity every month. Feel free to drop by and see if it appeals to you.

Re: Hello!

[viciousladybug]

Hi! Thanks so much! I have added you just now.😊

Re: Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have added you back.

The May Poetry Fishbowl is on Tuesday, May 2 with a theme of "history written by the losers" if you're interested. I ask people for ideas and then write poems based on whatever they suggest. Sometimes the crosstalk between readers gets interesting too. It's a lot of fun.

Re: Hello!

[viciousladybug]

Wow, very cool. Thanks! :)

Re: Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Poetry Fishbowl is now live, so you can see what prompts people are giving me and what I'm writing.

Cross-country train travel?! Sign me the fuck up! I just got back from 3 weeks on the rails.

[viciousladybug]

Awesome! Can't wait to hear more about your travels! I'll be on the train again in late July. :)

Hi there. :) I know this entry is a bit old now, but are you still looking for some new Dreamwidth friends? You sound interesting and I think we might get along.

I'm a nurse in NZ. I'm a similar age to you and also have some mental health issues (anxiety mainly, but also depression). I love all animals, but cats are my favourite. I'm politically left-wing too, though I almost never write about politics. I'm also into hiking and crafty things.

I write about my family, work, walks I go on (with photos of beautiful scenery), what I've been up to, things on my mind... just day to day stuff. BTW don't be put off by only 15 entries since my account was made in 2015 - I made it then but I never used it until early last month. I actually post a fair bit! I was on LJ a long time too, but I left after the new ToS came in.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll add you.

[viciousladybug]

Hi there!!! Sorry for the late response...my week has been crazy! I'd love to be friends. Thank you so much for responding. I will add you. :) I hope we get to know each other well!

[paw_prints]

That's quite OK. I hope things are a little less crazy now. Thanks for adding me. I'm looking forward to getting to know you too. :) This entry might be helpful: https://paw-prints.dreamwidth.org/6304.html It's just a wee introduction to me and my journal. Do feel free to ask me anything in the comments. :)
