Hi there!

[howsmyenglish]

NAME: well... not easy to shorten a username like mine to something that might sound like a name... if you have to call me something, just... I don't know... pick a name and tell me that that's what you're going to call me? ;)

AGE: late thirties

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I like books, reading, writing, talking about, etc. People, countries, languages, travel all belong to my interests. I speak several languages, have lived in a number of countries... so, in the end I don't really belong anywhere (and I do belong everywhere!), which is probably why I try to keep this journal anonymous: I'd like to avoid labels. No idea, if this will stick.

LOOKING FOR: Well... people. People to talk to, people to read my stuff, people whose stuff I would enjoy reading, etc.

ANYTHING ELSE?: DON'T TELL ANYONE, but I've no idea about fandoms, fanfiction and many other things that are totally familiar to you. (I do like Harry Potter and Star Trek, though... does this qualify as an entry ticket into your world?)

I'll give you an add if you're interested. :)

[howsmyenglish]

Absolutely! I liked your journal from the first words I read :)

Hi! I’m also into Harry Potter!

[howsmyenglish]

I don't know about Harry Potter, but the things you write about writing are sooooo... inspiring! I really look forward to discussing these things with you! :)

[jamethiel]

... just as well, because I have a series of posts that are each going to be several thousand words on the technical aspects of writing planned/half written!

I'm pretty clueless of fandoms and fanfiction as well, though I do like quite a bit of sci-fi. I'd love to hear about your travels, friends?

[howsmyenglish]

Sure! :) Glad I'm not alone!

hi! i read the top page of your entries, and i like the way you talk about your life. i also talk about things-that-are-not-fandom and enjoy reading about others' real lives and receiving comments about my real life. :)

Hi! and thanks! I read some of your poems... this is a lack in my education: I never really learned to understand poetry. But I really want to learn! Let's see, maybe, you can help me :)

[yarrowkat]

maybe i can! both because my work tends to be straightforward, and mean what it says, and also because i am willing to answer questions and help out. I used to teach English and honestly really love turning people on to poets/ poetry that they haven't previously encountered and might love.

[howsmyenglish]

you used to teach English! well, I'm afraid, you found a new student in me!
I'm lucky! But I'm a good student ;)

[yarrowkat]

i am always available to answer questions about English language, use, history, etc. It's a favorite topic of mine. feel free to ask! :)

[howsmyenglish]

Well, I did - in my journal a couple of hours ago :)

[yarrowkat]

i'll catch up! :)

It's okay if you don't know fandoms! LOL I'm a huge Harry Potter fan too. :) Friends?
