ABOUT ME:: I'm a thirty-something looking for an excuse to push myself to write more. I tend to use other platforms to take notes of current events, science work, and post inanities. I used to use LJ as a real platform to really hone and express my life in a way that I felt was more introspective and, in turn, also involved me reflecting my own interests off other people to see the aspects that people normally don't get to appreciate in real life. So I'm trying to bring this back into my life so I can find inspiration, maybe do some writing, and/or interact with people whom you can share other aspects of your life with without it feeling awkward.
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I've been collecting hobbies of all sorts for the years, from MTG to photography (all sorts!) to aquascaping. These days I've been doing some part in a friend's RP podcast using the FATE core system (TBH, all I do is act like an idiot), gardening, reading up news/podcasts, food experiments, and DIYing things around the house. I'm hoping to get back into long exposure work as well once I feel comfortable enough to have the free time for that thing.
LOOKING FOR: Right now, I think as long as you're willing to post on a semi-regular basis, I'd appreciate it. Most of the people I knew haven't made use of their old journals, so I'm trying to meet whatever people are left just so I don't keep staring at five pages of RSS posts for Snopes. If you're into photography and actively shooting, then maybe you'll inspire me to make use of my gear for once or something. :P
ANYTHING ELSE?: I tend to archive dreams as well since I tend to use them for writing projects, usually the ones that try to follow some stream of thought or concept I didn't think about. My profile is also OLD (see icon for example), so chances are you will probably see remnants of 20 year old me as I try to clean up my twenty-something life as I repurpose this thing.

Any particular types you do, or are you more of a generalist with it? I feel like I could use the inspiration these days, I've been terrible.

Im more of a generalist. My photo classes have taught me to take pictures of everything. Most recently I shot at the aquarium, but the light was shit, so we'll see what actually comes out next time I get to the darkroom.

Aquarium... was it the above lighting or the "mood" lit experience that made it harder? I've had some annoyances as well, admittedly; I think the only time I've enjoyed doing those shots was with a fisheye because I can try to direct the light and I can take really close-up shots, albeit at the risk of it being super distorted. I dunno, I think that I need some faster glass too or at least a bigger sensor.
Thanks for the add!
Edit: Wait, darkroom? You do FILM?! Insert gif Wayne and Garth going "we're not worthy"

Digital cameras work well in the aquairum, an i've gotten some good shots with them, but even 3200 speed film was too slow to get a good shot there.

A flash doesn't work through the acrylic anyway. It reflects so much.
no subject
lol, yes I do film. I like it because it makes you think about what you're taking a picture of more.

I post at least once a day. You can check out my current stuff. Added!

Just posting is incentive enough to get me moving, thanks for the add and hope we can get some momentum out of each other!

*ten hours later* Wait, what were we talking about? :P HAHHA
Welcome aboard! First post I read on your journal had me cracking up, so I'm looking forward to reading your entries.

I've been posting snapshots of plants in my yard under the Photo tag.
It sounds like we have a lot in common. I invite you to drop by my blog and see what you think.
Re: Okay...
I did a quick scan and noted bird shots. Are you primarily into birding?
Also, I offer preemptive apologies as I am replying via a cellphone because I am obviously such a genius that I would decide to say thank you on the one device that is optimized for my sausage-shaped fingers to mash some coherence into. Come on aboard, I'm happy enough already to get something to read in a blog that doesn't have the word "snopes" on it, believe you me!
Re: Okay...
Yep! Both are modestly active, often with a flurry of posts around certain times: end/beginning of month for

Birds are usually links from someone else. We have plenty here, I feed them and watch them, but rarely try shooting them. Plants sit still unless there is wind.
