Hei! A crazy-usually-dorky newcomer, here.

I've never done an "addme" community like this before, but I just moved to DW from LJ (yes, due to the latest crap), and I'm really hoping that I can get settled into DW. I really like it here, but yeah, I suffered a drop in my f-list. So, I'd really like some new *mutual* friends. And yikes, sorry in advance for my rambling.

I'm 23, living in WI where I've been all my life. I own two cats and a horse, who is the most important individual in my life. If you're familiar at all with equestrian worlds, I'm a dressage rider as well as a jumper, though I hope to get into eventing at some point in my life. If you're not familiar with horses/riding, that's okay, too, but you might have less fun if you don't like horses at all. I keep a riding blog elsewhere, so I typically only post general horsie things in my journal. I was an English major in college, originally intending to be an editor, and a music minor with emphasis on composition.

I'm also a freelance photographer, a novel-writer (working in fantasy and literary magic-realism), occasional poet, and painter/pastel artist. I'm a pagan of my own design, though I'll admit I haven't been posting a whole lot about my spirituality lately. I read a lot, mostly fiction and fantasy, but I have a ton of interests that I'll delve into as well. Other interests include: fencing (I was a varsity sabre fencer in college), anthropology, shamanism, divination, philosophy, sciency-things, psychology (especially micro-expressions), music, mythology (especially Norse), fairy tales, folk tales, folk lore, tv (I admit to watching a lot of shows: Doctor Who and Farscape are favorites), massage (mostly equine), trigger point therapy, equine chiropractics, paganism in general, therianthropy/otherkin.

I do post a lot of daily life things. I try to post more in-depth thoughts and philosophies, but it doesn't always happen. I do the occasional meme when I'm bored, but I always put it behind a cut, and I never prod anyone else to do them. I also post art things from time to time, though I do have a photoblog that gets the bulk of my artistic attention unless it's concerning a work in progress. Posting amount varies; some days I'll post up to five times, sometimes I'll go several days or even a week without posting.

Like I said, I'm interested in people who want to be mutual friends. My journal is friends-locked, so I do ask that what is in my journal stays in my journal, not that it's generally inflammatory material or anything. I also hate drama and try to avoid it. It'd be super awesome if we have some related interests.

Edited for spelling fails. XD
