Old LiveJouraler looking to recreate his LJ experience

[starbrand1974]

Name:Scott

Age:50. I feel and act much younger

I mostly post about:Whatever tickles my fancy, but mostly about life events, good or bad, sports, TV shows that get me excited...

My hobbies are:reading, writing, being a sports stat geek

My fandoms are:There are far too many shows I follow, but I love to discuss passionately about them.

I'm looking to meet people who:Have an open mind, their own opinion, sense of humour, people who are interesting

My posting schedule tends to be: at the moment, sporadic, but that has more to do with not having a journal that I wanted people to see. I aim to be a bit more prolific

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:I'm not much into talking politics, it's overall depressing

My username comes from a Marvel comic book I read in the 80s, about a man given a vast and mysterious power by an alien.

I had a nice experience on Live Journal, I used to meet and talk with people I would never have known otherwise. I'm hoping to replicate that here.

You sound interesting. I am a divorced retired librarian living in New York City with a cat and a turtle. I mostly post about my daily life, which tends to be boring but I post every day so you always have something to read. I have one major fandom, Starsky and Hutch, and I do occasionally post about politics but not often. I'm going to friend you, hope you friend me back.

We might click. I'll let you decide.

A bit about me...

I mostly post about day to day stuff. There is some abuse survivor stuff in there, also. I try not to post much about politics, and when I do, it's generally behind a cut. That said, my own politics lean strongly classical liberal or small l libertarian.

I'm pagan, I'm into ghost stories, and I do write them along with urban fantasy stuff. I have one novel published through Amazon, co-authored with my wife.

I have an almost 3 year old daughter. Also have a son... but he died in NICU.

Anyway, I have a sticky up on my page. Feel free to check it out, add me if you like.

Hello! I'm in my early 50s & former LJer. Currently married, grown children & grandkids. I mainly post about my daily travails.

I'm partial to humor & enjoy snark. I also enjoy reading.

Shall we give it a go?

Let ,e kmow if you'd like an Aussie friend. I'm still on LJ but tend to be sporadic with my posting

Hello!

>> reading, writing, being a sports stat geek <<

I post a lot about reading and writing.

>> I'm looking to meet people who:Have an open mind, their own opinion, sense of humour, people who are interesting <<

LOL I am guaranteed not boring.

>> My posting schedule tends to be: at the moment, sporadic, but that has more to do with not having a journal that I wanted people to see. I aim to be a bit more prolific <<

Many people use recurring posts to pin down their favorite topics and maintain activity. So you might set one day for sports, one for recent things you've read, and so on. Most readers consider a blog active if it posts at least once a month, and once a week is a pretty common level. I'm at the high end, posting daily and often several times a day.

>> When I add people, my dealbreakers are:I'm not much into talking politics, it's overall depressing <<

Can't say as I blame you. I post occasionally about politics, but mostly actionable stuff. I'm not into the drama llama farming.

>> I had a nice experience on Live Journal, I used to meet and talk with people I would never have known otherwise. I'm hoping to replicate that here. <<

Sooth. This is the closest match for LJ. Many people wish that the match was closer, but few take concrete action to make that happen. On the bright side, if you can identify what you liked most about LJ and then work on replicating that here, your blog will appeal to the many readers who share those tastes. In fact, go ahead and put that description in your profile.

My DW blog runs pretty much the same as my LJ.
