Transplant from LJ looking for DW friends
NAME: Elise
AGE: 33
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Reading, writing, watching TV, learning languages (fluent in French and English, different stages of learning Spanish, Italian and Irish, interested in Finnish and Korean; 1100+-day streak on Duoingo o/), Formula 1...
LOOKING FOR: What type of journals are you looking for? I think it'll be easier to say what I'm not looking for - what I've learned during my decade-and-a-half on LJ I don't care for:
- If you use your journal exclusively for book reviews (or any reviews) or fandom.
- If you post long detailed accounts of your daily life. Don't get me wrong, I love reading about other people's lives (I mean that's what we're all doing here, no?), but if all your entries only discuss what time you got up, what you ate at each meal, and a minute-by-minute account of your workout, I might get bored.
- If you post multiple times a day with nothing but like memes and things. That's what other social media is for.
Okay I realize this probably sounds like I'm really snobbish, but I swear I'm not! XD It's just that after 18 years on LJ, I've come to notice certain things that tend to make me unfriend eventually, so I might as well get ahead of it.

ANYTHING ELSE?: I'm disabled (spastic ataxia, if that means anything to you). I work from home as a (mostly in French) editor of (mostly) novels and books published in Quebec (where I live, by the way). And... I have a cat?
ALSO KNOWN AS: ellinou on LiveJournal, elisability on Twitter, and I have a public blog about my live with a disability, also called elisability.
