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

And you know! it is. Have you read Brandon Sanderson's "Warbreaker"? You need to. His magic system was so incredibly insane and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities (though intense amount of research) that can be done. I need to read some more of his books.

I haven't even heard of it, actually. I'll add it to my list. =)
And, you're more than welcome!
