Describe yourself in five sentences or less:
I left home at 18, worked as a baker for years, got injured on the job and went back to university to study psychology, and ended up in user experience research. I'm married without kids, interested in politics (I'm pretty left-wing), the goth scene, LARPing, gardening, knitting, writing, and vinyl. I have three cats, two of whom are senior shelter rescues, and one who is a stray that adopted me.

Top 5 Fandoms:
I don't really participate in fandoms, but I do love Alien(s). Ripley for life.

I mostly post about:
Work, poetry, mental health, the everyday minutiae of my life, and sometimes snippets of fiction.

I rarely post about:
Politics. As much as I'm interested in politics, and especially political history, I don't write much about it. I tend to absorb more than I output.

My last three posts were about:
-Work
-Health care
-A poem I wrote

How often do you post?
Probably a couple of times a week, when time allows. I'm becoming more active since I moved from LJ (where I had a journal since 2003, iirc).

How about commenting?
I try to interact on most posts, to let people know I'm not just a lurker. Relationships take dialogue after all.

I think we might get on. Friends?

[iolarah]

Given that when I peeked at your journal, I saw two FOB references, I think you're right ^_^ Friends!

Hi! Baking, gardening, knitting, writing and cats are all interests we share! I'm subscribing and granting access.

[iolarah]

Cool! I'll return the favour :)

[albijuli]

yay poems! Friend?

[iolarah]

Friend!

Hey, don't I know you from, ahem, that one writing community?

[iolarah]

Why yes, I believe you do ^_^ Would you like to be friends?

We have a few things in common. I'm a nurse in NZ and also around the same age as you. I love cats and gardening and am also not really into fandoms. I write about similar things (except perhaps poetry, which I like but rarely post). I moved here from DW a few weeks ago - another LJ refugee.

I'll add you so you can learn a bit more. Let me know if you'd like to be friends. :)

[iolarah]

I would like! I love your FO banner with the keys. Old keys are beautiful.

Hi! Let's be friends :)

[iolarah]

Done!

I skimmed a few of your posts, and I'd like to add you back :)

Mmmmm

UX research sounds fascinating.

Also no-kids, and mental health, and ...

Cool, welcome aboard!

[vampiresincowboyboots]

You seem interesting, may I add you?

[iolarah]

Yes, please do! :)

[shriker]

Do you post any photos of your cats? I think we'd get along.

[iolarah]

I haven't in a while, mostly because I didn't have server space. But I since remembered my Photobucket password, so maybe soon again!

Adding you back :)
