PS: "A few years younger than me" is what I meant to write in my original comment. This is what happens when your bf and your puppy are distracting you from your all important LJ-ing!
(Sorry, I don't know how to say that I'm trying to friend you. In case you don't remember my handle, you left a comment on one of my Mission 101 entries, offering to be an e-pen pal.)
It's cool that you're a fangirl, too! I always wished I could find a Japanese language self-teaching book based on shonen-ai. I'd be soooo motivated to learn then! ^_^
I figured this would be less Idon'tknowwhatish than emailing you.
I really had nothing else planned out for this comment. Nerdity and stuff.
The photo of you as Italy is amazing, by the way. I have no good cosplay photos of me because I am one of the least photogenic people ever. I ADMIRE IT IN OTHERS.
This journal is just my diary sort of thing, but you can follow my writing at (http://perfectworry.dreamwidth.org/profile)perfectworry (http://perfectworry.dreamwidth.org/)/perfectworry.
Are most of the journals here are friends only these days? I am new and intend to keep mine open to everyone but am wondering if the old timers here know something I haven't learned yet and that's why most are keeping the journals friends only.
I think lots of people who post about their work lives (or their children) keep their posts locked for privacy, but if you're not sharing anything identifiable (or don't care) then you're probably OK.
Oh yes, sorry, hi indeed. And thanks for this. I am still getting my head around using LJ. So how do people get to know and friend each other here if everyone keeps all of their entries private?
Usually through a friending meme these days (there was one recently here (http://lavenderfieldss.livejournal.com/35045.html), it may still be going) or if you're members of the same community and get along in comments and such.
Hello! wantedonvoyage suggested that I befriend you as I've been writing about my local international film festival and he thinks that there may be some stuff you'd be interested in. There's no pressure, I just said I'd send you a message :)
