Basic Stats: I'm in my mid 20s, live in the South West UK with my boyfriend, have a degree in anthropology & archaeology, and work in a museum. White, liberal, cis-female, heteroflexible, pissed off about the current state of politics but I try to keep that pretty low-key here, because I have anxiety issues and it stresses me out if I let myself get focused on it.

I like to post about: Not sure yet! I'm used to sites like tumblr, twitter, and pinterest where I can repost and like, but I've always kept diaries/journals and I'm looking forward to interacting with people. I'll probably spend most of my time on here either talking about everyday life or rambling about whatever new thing I've gotten excited about

Stuff I like:
Music Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Evanescence, Nickelback, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Panic! at the Disco, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182
Movies Star Wars, MCU, Bohemian Rhapsody, Deadpool, A Star Is Born, Greatest Showman, Mamma Mia, Frozen, Beauty & The Beast, The Lion King
TV Doctor Who, His Dark Materials, Good Omens, V-Wars, Walking Dead, Supernatural, American Horror Story, Haunting Of Hill House, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina, Charmed
Books The Secret Garden, Tom's Midnight Garden, The Borrowers, Chronicles Of Narnia, Charlotte's Web, Peter Pan, Swallows and Amazons, A Wrinkle In Time, Harry Potter

I'm looking for: Journals to read and interact with. Possibly even new friends?

I also have a degree in anthropology and archaeology. I don't use it though. Shall we?

Yeah for a while I was at the zoo - convinced them my one class in biological anthropology was good for talking about gorillas. lol.

Read this and checked out your first entry and I too could do with my life being a musical, in fact I often force it by singing loudly and off-key about current goings on (admittedly I share these song writing credits with many others...today I repurposed "Barely Breathing" for my husband who was sick and breathing very loudly).

I mostly just post about mundane life stuff. Let me know if you want to be friends :)

You sound interesting and we have some of the same interests, so I've added you. I am a 57 year old divorced librarian in New York City, in Queens, though I work in the Bronx. I live alone with two cats and a turtle. I post mainly about my day-to-day life. Hope you add me back.

Going to friend because although you're over 10 years younger than me, your music taste is that of a thirty-something and ergo excellent. Hope to see you around. ;-)

Hello there! I'm Captain, I mostly talk about personal life, fandom, meta, books, and reviews of some things when I get around to it!

How'd you like the new Lion King? Were you a fan of the old one? o:

Meta is an analysis of the show itself, or the fandom surrounding it! Basically what makes fans different from one media to the next, and why that might be.

The original Lion King is my second favorite Disney movie, behind Lilo & Stitch <3 But I adore both!! The visuals in TLK (original) were gorgeous *u*

Hey there! I'm a reference librarian who works with historical and government documents, and I share your fondness for classic children's literature. I post fairly regularly, mostly about daily life.

Also, tickled to see that you just moved away from Exeter - I'm from the US but worked in Exeter ten years ago on a student visa. Despite being broke and having to contend with the damp chill of an English winter, I really loved SW England. I still daydream about coming into money and retiring to a fairy tale cottage out on Dartmoor like Terri Windling.
