Hello other cat person! ^_^ My name is Claire. I have two cats, a tortoiseshell and a calico, and I have been on LJ for twenty years. What is or are your lovely/lovelies' name/names? I mostly use LJ using the same username, which I mostly keep public and not f-locked upon a friend's recommendation, but I am also active on Dreamwidth as well! I am trying to travel abroad again, which is my primary focus, and what I will mostly be talking about if you decide to befriend me.
You don't have to if I'm too snaky. (That is my Chinese astrological year, so I have been trying to start studying them. I just have been having trouble with the flight abroad part, because this time, instead of going to China, I have been trying to go to a graduate school in England. I heard there is a form of tasty ramen-like noodle there. My friend told me he'd make it if I would show up. I've been working on the "show up" part.)

Anyway, I think your and my hobbies may coincide, but they may not, depending on particulars.
I do like astronomy! ^.^ I have plenty of books about it and got a passing grade in my astrophysics course, though I haven't pursued it for longer than a year due to troubles with it being a male-dominant study, which you probably haven't noticed since you might have passed all your life as seeming like a guy. I only passed as male sometimes when I was travelling abroad and wasn't saying anything.
My friends and I have mostly fangirled over Sailor Moon together. They've kept up with the latest seasons better than I have - I don't speak Japanese as well, I switched departments to Chinese after my JLPT came back. D: It was not as high as I was expecting.
I have yet to hazard the HSK, which is the Chinese equivalent, or the TOPIK, which my sister would probably be better with. (It is the Korean version - she worked in a Korean restaurant for years while I was sick.)

I am also US-based, in ET, if you want to keep track of time zones, so that might be an hour ahead of CT), but I may be travelling out of the country soon, if I can get my visa paperwork to cooperate properly. My UK dream has yet to flower (to reach GMT), but it may yet. I have some books about it and made some friends in a couple of appropriate departments in respectable Universities across a couple of countries in that part of the world, so maybe! ^_^

Although I post somewhat more frequently than you described, I do not expect you or anyone else to keep up with what's going on with me. I write as a form of stress relief.
Have a good start to your week~!

OK I added you. I just have one cat at the moment, his name is Newton, about 5 years old, and he is a medium hair with black and tabby coat.

I also started with LJ and have ben journaling for 20 years also, though I completely moved over to DW now.

I never formally studied astronomy or anything, other than a couple classes in college that I enjoyed. The only reason I didn't become a scientist is because I dislike academia and hate reading and writing papers, so I work in IT.

I haven't seen Sailor Moon, I mostly watch rom-coms and drama or fantasy. I did watch Madoka Magica recently, which was pretty amazing.

I've only visited Canada, Mexico, and Iceland. I can't wait to visit more places.

Hi, I'm a 62 year old recently retired librarian in New York City. I'm divorced with an adult daughter, and I live alone with my cat and my turtle. I am going to add you because you sound interesting. I mostly post about my day to day life, which is fairly boring, but I post every day so you always have something to read. I hope you add me back.

[metallherz]

Alright, I added you.

[karenjanee]

Hello! I have added you! I am a wannabe astronomer, I have a tough time getting out and star gazing, but when I can do it I really enjoy it. I live in Alberta, Canada, 45F, widowed with a teenager. I try to post once a week.

[metallherz]

Hi, I added you back.

[cu_sidhe]

I'll leave it in your hands.

I'm married with a living daughter, son died in NICU. I work as a pharmacy tech, and write ghost stories and urban fantasy.

I post mostly about day to day life. My politics are classical liberal/libertarian, though most my political stuff goes behind a cut.

I'm very much into music and play a few instruments, my main ones being bass guitar and trombone. Most of what I listen to could be called goth rock, but I also love jazz and classical, among other things.

[metallherz]

OK I added you. I'm also classical liberal. I like some goth sounding stuff.

[saddlerfan]

Hi there! I'm a 41 year old dude who is also a gamer. I also live alone - although I (sadly) don't have a cat. I also post only sporadically, definitely not every day unless there's a really big reason to do so. So we do have similarities but also differences. If you want to add me, feel free to do so! I'll add you back ASAP!

[metallherz]

OK, added you.

[saddlerfan]

Added you back!

[jayregee]

Can I add you? My journal is FRIENDS ONLY so it's hard to give you a preview post but there is much in common between you and me.

[metallherz]

Yep, added you

[wantedonvoyage]

Hey, always looking for other rock music fans although our specific tastes may not overlap much. I also enjoy the woods more than the beach but I'll take either over a cubicle and a spreadsheet.

[metallherz]

OK I added you
