Good Evening.

Name: Katie
Age: 36
Location: Central Coast California

Describe yourself in five sentences or less: I work full time in a doctors office in medical records. I'm in the process of writing the second draft of a book. I love to hike and exercise as it helps with my depression. I love to travel, read, go to concerts and hang out with friends. I also help with the local film festival every year.

Top 5 Fandoms: LOST, Twin Peaks, Harry Potter

I mostly post about: Work, depression and trying to keep it balanced, my writing, hiking, my niece and nephew, travel, books, music, and throw in a touch of sarcasm.

I rarely post about: Politics (It's okay if you do. I probably will ignore that part of your entry.), When my depression hits, I try to talk about the positive and not the negative side of it.

My last three posts were about: My friends page. I am just getting started into journaling again. I was big on Greatestjournal and Insane Journal. These days my IJ friends page never moves. I miss the connecting.

How often do you post? As often as I feel like writing. It could be 5 times a week more or less.

How about commenting? I will comment if I have something to say in the post.

I also love writing and hiking, and we have some fandoms in common. Can I add you?

[londonskies]

Definitely! I will add you. Hiking is the best.

[zhelana]

Also a writer who loves to travel! :)

[londonskies]

Awesome! I will add you too. What was your favorite place to travel?

[zhelana]

My favorite is Gatlinburg. We try to go there every year. :)

[londonskies]

That would be a fun place to go and see the Smokey mountains.

[zhelana]

yes, Smoky Mountain National Park is nice because it has these two driving trails. For two disabled adults who love the mountains but can't hike, this is really nice. Plus Pigeon Forge is nearby with all sorts of tourist attractions.

[londonskies]

That is really cool that they offer that for disabled adults.

[zhelana]

yeah, it's a good place.

I miss California, I love Twin Peaks, I write about mental health issues and a bunch of other stuff. Hi.

[londonskies]

As beautiful as CA is, I wouldn't suggest anyone living here. Travel is great here. The cost of living sucks. How long did you live in CA? Twin Peaks this season is amazing.

[sitonmyinterface]

You had me at Twin Peaks.

[londonskies]

Right It should always be at Twin Peaks. :)

hello! my name is Katie too (though i go by Kat online)

do you mind if i add you? we have some things in common (depression, writing, hiking, books, etc.)

i miss the connecting too. no matter how much i want it to, dreamwidth will never be as great as livejournal was, circa 2002...

i *love* your icon!

[londonskies]

Go right a head!

I feel you. That's how I feel about Greatestjournal and some years into insanejournal when GJ died. I am willing to give DW a try and see where it goes.

Thanks! I thought it was very fitting though I haven't had any good luck with reading good book lately.

I really, really miss Greatestjournal.

I'm 38, also have depression, going back to school (medical assistant), and am really starting my life over. I write often, travel a little (want to do more), and read lots. Friends? :)

[londonskies]

Me too. It was a great journaling site.

Good for you on going back to school! It's never too late to start over.

Sure! I will add you back. :)

I enjoyed the original Twin Peaks and am looking forward to watching the new one all in one binge once it finishes! I'm subscribing now; best wishes.
