addme | (no subject)

Hello,

addme! I come here, as many folks do, by way of LiveJournal. I am Lena, twenty-four years old, an Alabama resident, and a graduate student in history. I am a feminist, a lesbian, and a princess. I own two cats, named Vesper Lynd and Mr. Bond. I collect designer perfume, cosmetics, pens, and books. I play Vampire: the Requiem in my spare time, I write fanfiction for Sailormoon and Casino Royale/James Bond, and I am working on my first novel.

Things I (will) post: photography, my writing, poetry, current events in my life. While I consider myself to be an extremely political person, I view my journal as a respite from that (extremely pressure-filled) side of my life, and will likely post political entries with a warning. That being said, I am so left that I consider the word "left" a pejorative term, but I will be happy to add folks of all political leanings. Things I cannot abide: sexism, racism, homophobia, religious narrow-mindedness, and other social ills. I imagine that I will not lock entries in this journal, and so I imagine I'll have a very open friending policy.

What I watch: Revolutionary Girl Utena, Oniisama e, Hellsing, House M.D., The Tudors, Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, Voltron. Films I enjoy: Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace, The Golden Compass, The Duchess, Marie Antoinette, Star Wars, the Harry Potter films. My favorite books and authors: the Harry Potter series, Gregory Maguire, Margaret Atwood, The Other Boleyn Girl, George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Lilith Saintcrow...

I am looking for: sensitive people with refined taste; cultured individuals; anyone who shares my interests, and has a wish to enjoy a genuine friendship. If you think we'd be excellent friends, please, don't hesitate to speak up!

And, here I am:

If you like Bond and House you can't be that bad right? Friends?

If you like Bond and House, you can't be that bad, either. ♥ Friends.

You had me at "I own two cats, named Vesper Lynd and Mr. Bond." I think we have a bit else in common, though! =) Adding you so you can scope me out, but don't feel obligated!

*wishes she still had her vesper martini icon now*

Added you in return. Thank you so much! :)

And, now I must find and upload all my Casino Royale icons.

I'm not sure if I suit your definitions of someone on your reading list, but I wanted to be all yay for Utena. Because Utena is made of awesome and wonderful.

Whyever not? :) Also, Utena = ♥.

Because, while I seem to have a lot of interests in common, I don't feel I am either refined or cultured. I am also still learning to not be privileged, so I assume there may be 'facepalm' situations in that manner as well. In the end, it up to you, and I suppose one could always give it a try?

(Speaking of *facepalm*, I just noticed the name. >>;;; I'm not sure how I missed that.)

Hee, what a lovely facepalm moment, though. I'd love to be friends, though! Life is a learning process, after all!

All right, then, I'll give in. I'm quite bad at saying no to lovely ladies, I've noticed. *chuckles*

Heeee. Famous last words.

You're a feminist, a princess, like Daniel Craig's Bond, Harry Potter and Gregory Maguire? <3 Friends?

Friends. ♥ Also, ahahahah, your icon!

You had me at "princess" since I pretty much wholeheartedly believe I am one as well. And then you had me again at "pens". Everything else is just a bonus. :P Friends?

Friends, fellow princess. :)

We seem to have a lot in common, both politically and in terms of interests. Want to be friends?

I'd love to!

You sound like a fascinating and lovely person! I'd love to be friends :) I only joined Dreamwidth today so my journal is quite empty; I've been on Livejournal for years but have become increasingly disillusioned with it so I've moved over here. I'll add you now so you can read the intro post on my journal.

Your cats have awesome names! My cat is called Milo but I considered calling him Mr Darcy. I think it's really cute when cats have Mr names XD

I don't really have much time for fandom these days but I love Sailor Moon and James Bond and will probably read your fic :)

I'm a left-wing feminist too. I don't tend to write about it much because I feel like other people say it all much better than I could, but I do reblog a lot of feminist stuff on tumblr and I co-mod a body-positive tumblr here.

I love Harry Potter too. I really want to read A Song of Fire and Ice; I've wanted to for ages but now I keep hearing all this stuff about the upcoming HBO adaptation and I want to read it more than ever! I'll put it on my Christmas list, I think!

I will be happy to add you in return, and I am so glad to meet someone with whom I have a lot in common!
