Spinning Dreamwidth back up

[leduck]

Hi, all!

NAME: Leduck

AGE: 56

PRONOUNS: She/her

INTERESTS AND HOBBIES: I am a health researcher in Atlanta, GA, and long-married bisexual woman who is a feminist. My household consists of myself, my husband, four cats, and two marine aquaria. I am a lover of science fiction, fantasy, libraries, books, performing arts, music, and table-top gaming.

LOOKING FOR: I was a LiveJournal refugee and came over here a few years ago and am only now journaling, mainly in response to calls for people to write about their pandemic experiences.  I'm hoping to put down some roots on this platform, which I have not done at all. I'm hoping some of you will be interested in getting acquainted! I would love friends who post regularly and like to make (and receive) comments.

ANYTHING ELSE? Just to say that I'm spinning this back up mainly to record pandemic experiences from my own perspective. I could post technical stuff, but mainly leave that to Facebook. I expect this will be more mundane than professional.

I think we'd get along! I'm Ryan in the Southwest US---I'm a doctoral student in a social science field. I went ahead and added you; please feel free to reciprocate.

[leduck]

I think we would, too! I'll be so happy to get to know you!

[ryanf]

Whoohoo!

You sound interesting and congenial. I'm a divorced female 58 (as of next week) year old librarian who lives with two cats and a turtle in New York City. I have a 29 year old daughter, who's going through the breakup of her marriage. I mostly write about my daily life, which is pretty boring right now because my workplace (New York Public Library) is closed because of the virus "until further notice" so I'm at home almost every day. I'm going to add you, hope you add me back.

[leduck]

You do, too. I'll very happily add you!

[finch]

Welcome back! I'm adding you.

[leduck]

Hi, dropped by and you seem like an interesting person! I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

[singedsun]

Happy to add you, I post a variety of life stuff and media stuff - writing and music usually. Welcome back to DW.

[leduck]

Wonderful! I look forward to getting to know you!

Le Duck, we have many mutual interests and I too am writing regularly about COVID-19.

[leduck]

Thanks! I look forward to getting to know you. I have a few friends in Australia as well. Glancing around your journal, it looks like we do have quite a few common interests!

Hi! I'm Cameron, [trans] male, 42, in Michigan. I'm a dog dad to a senior Shih-Tzu, lover of theater, books, baking, and quilting.

[leduck]

Hey, Cameron! I grew up in Kalamazoo (and went to U of M for undergrad). Where in Michigan are you?

[sparkythegeek]

Detroit 'burbs. :) Nice! I went to UM-Dearborn for undergrad, grad, and work there.

[leduck]

My husband grew up in Oak Park!

[sparkythegeek]

Cool! I'm in Dearborn Heights, so a little SW of there. :)

I'm a public health person too although not as much in it at the moment as I'd like to be. Share a lot of interests (including cats and gaming, those seem to often go together for some reason) and also an LJ refugee ;-) Adding you!

[leduck]

Always happy to have another public health person in my circle!

[seleneheart]

Also an LJ refugee! I post about a bunch of stuff. Adding you!

[leduck]

Awesome! Can't wait to get to know you!

Hi there! I'm a librarian in Richmond, Virginia. In my spare time I write science fiction and fantasy, take long nature walks, and hang out with my cat.

I journal about daily life and creative projects, and have been blogging a lot lately for purposes of recording my pandemic experience. (This will either be the best or worst documented disaster in history, depending on the future of digital archiving.)

[leduck]

Sounds like we have a lot in common! I look forward to getting to know you.

Hi there! I’d like to add you!

I’m keeping my own pandemic journal (I live in Metro Vancouver, BC) and am interested in seeing what other people’s experiences are like. I’m also a reader (although haven’t done a whole lot right now, admittedly.)

[leduck]

What a beautiful city Vancouver is! I look forward to getting to know you!
