NAME: Minty
AGE: Closing in on 30
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Reading (I'm challenging myself to read at least one non-fiction book a month this year), music, art, crafts (I crochet, knit a little and I've recently started teaching myself to make clothes), technology (I'm a freelance web developer and I'm starting to dip my toe into game development)
LOOKING FOR: Potential new friends. We don't need to have a whole lot in common, just be able to have fun talking to each other.
ANYTHING ELSE?: My dreamwidth is new but I was an on-again off-again livejournaller for years. I started up again because I missed getting to know people through their journals.

Ooh, a crafty person! I knit in the winter and embroider in the summer sometimes, and I'm also learning how to make clothes! I haven't made anything but pyjama bottoms so far, but I have many plans. I'm coming back to DW for pretty much the same reasons as you, too. Friends? :D

Friends! I'll look forward to hearing how your clothes making progresses.

Hi! My dw is new too (like super new) but it would be great to be able to get to know each other :) I miss the journaling community - and I just turned 30 a couple of weeks ago, so we've (sort of) got that in common at least! What book are you reading right now?

I'm currently reading Everything Bad is Good For You - it's kind of a persuasive essay? in book form, arguing that modern entertainment is making people smarter, rather than stupider. I'm only a few chapters in, but so far I think it's interesting (even if I don't agree with the author about everything).

Ooh, that does sound interesting! And I guess a nice change from all the stuff saying that All Modern Things Are Bad, which older people have been saying about younger people's hobbies since the dawn of time anyway, haha.

Hi Minty! I'm Sam. :-) My friend Lorraine tried teaching me how to knit but it was a no go. I have bad eye hand co-ordination. As you can see, I love Paul McCartney <3 lol I had an LJ but I deleted it bc of the Russians and their new TOS. I'm going to be 43 in July... (oooold lol)

Adding you.

Hi!

Ciao! :-)

Hi Minty! I like reading, drawing, and sewing. (In fact, I'm a cosplayer.) I think that's pretty cool that you freelance as well because I'm a freelance writer. :) Friends?

Hi! Friends :)

Excellent! :D

hi! i'm a big reader as well (mostly fiction, but some non-fiction too and i like hearing about what other folks are reading), and i like seeing other people's crafts (i make perfume oils, not so much with the knitting/sewing) and indie games (the extend of my ability is twine). (i also like parentheticals. apparently.)

adding you if that's ok!

hi! adding back :)
