Looking For Friends @ Live Journal. (original) (raw)

28 August 2024 @ 01:41 pm

Hi all.

I am an OG LJ user and just trying to get back into writing about my life. I would definitely be more inspired if I had more friends to read about trying to do the same.

Quick synopsis: 30s. childfree. loves traveling. anxious girly.

I generally don't have any rules about whom I want to friend me, and you can get a look at my interests on my mini-bio (I am a high-functioning autistic as well). My sticky journal post also sports my general golden rule in deciding whom to add back as friends, and there are some public examples of how I express things like my political opinions in my posts (though I try to remain more professional with my film and other reviews). I look forward to interacting with you all.

Back in the day I posted on LJ all the time, multiple times a day, but that's not so much the case anymore. These days I barely post to me own journal more than once a month, but I keep intending (and failing) to change that.

Fact is I post to my communities more than my own LJ; in more busy times I was the admin for 100 communities... and they all stilll exist, but like with everything else they're not as active as they used to be.

Why do I stick with livejournal? Mainly because I have a permanent account, but also this place just really works for me on certain levels.

Mostly looking for those that post in English, but browsers do have translators in them so there are no absolutes on that. Be somewhat crazy... every little bit helps.

**Please, before you go any further, understand that mine is going to be a very personal, dark journey. If you are ok reading that kind of material, please simply read my first entry, copied here, to see what you are getting into.

To any who add, you are in for a ride.

________________________

Everything you read from here on out is true.

Every single word.

I have no reason to lie.

I went to great lengths to protect my identity as much as I could.

I'm never gonna say my name. Call me Guy.

I'm a fucking mess and I need to get this shit out of my head.

I'm bi-polar.

I'm depressed.

I'm on meds, but I'm about to lose my insurance.

I've had numerous, debilitating health problems my entire life, including cancer, and tumors. Because of this, I live in constant pain.

I'm recently off a 9 year long distance-relationship, with a married woman.

I'm into kink. There is a specific part of female anatomy that drives me wild.

I'm living with and taking care of someone who is currently dying of lung cancer which has spread fucking *everywhere.* A guy who never smoked in his life.

I suck my thumb.

I have OCD.

I have problems. Problems that most people don't have.

I have journaled for the better part of my life. I have them scattered across txt documents, across word documents, across wordpress sites, across sites coded in HTML that I, myself designed.

I have had reams of paper and books with locks with my words for as long as I can remember.

When I am hurting, it seems to help, and I'm hurting.

Looking for some new friends. Sorry if that sounds a bit corny, been a bit out of practice on a somewhat hiatus for 9 yr and I'm slowly making my way back. I am a multi-facet individual that to sum me into a one sentence would be futile, if not downright impossible. If you're interested, than feel free to check my https://westbeilschmidt.livejournal.com/profile page and my lj.

Is this place still alive? Lol. (Slightly) new journal, new start, new friends? Hopefully? I'm Pixel or Pix, which ever you prefer, I'm 28, going on 29 in about 9 days. I can hardly believe it. I work at a warehouse so 12 hour shifts for 3 days straight has become my thing. But in my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my boyfriend, drawing, graphic and web design, writing and organizing (strange hobby but it's true). I have a very creative mind so it's always on and about with ideas for what to create next. I may indulge in photography. I enjoyed it before but other hobbies took place of it.

I also enjoy some fandoms. Dragon Ball (all anime), Naruto, Boruto, SVU, Pokemon, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Sailor Moon and working my way into Fallout — starting with 3. I'll always love and enjoy NCIS original and LA and all Star Trek series (yes Enterprise too, I did enjoy it) but they aren't active fandoms of mine. My fandom list is not huge but I do enjoy trying new anime or games out. But i do put emphasis on Pokemon. I've been a Pokenerd since I was 10 and I actively play PokemonGo and collect the cards across all tcg series! Brownie points if you love Pokemon too.

So my posts.. they tend to range anywhere from creative posts (like what I make, ideas of what to create), daily life ramblings, photos of daily life stuff, articles I find interesting, some fandom posts and what not. I don't have many posts on this one but I've been on elljay for years.

I'm not too horribly good at "advertising" myself to make new friends. I am introverted and quiet IRL but I can talk up a storm on here lol. I'm on LJ in hopes to make friends to talk to. I can't say I'm the most interesting person ever lol

I am so awful at self promotion. I am a human, I guess that's a start. Yeah? I live in Australia and I am fluent in talking shit and I love rugby league. I believe that some things in life you can't be cheap with one of them is toilet paper. I don't believe that everything happens for a reason.

I identify mostly with Nordic beliefs & customs. I've spent years educating myself on them and slowly learning languages from the region and learning how to interpret and read runes. It's not something I'd say I'm an expert on. I just enjoy it. I am writing a book and the main characters have very strong Scandinavian roots, so it comes in handy there.

I like 2 minute noodles & Jack Daniels.

I am completely tone deaf and have no sense of fashion.

I have heaps of interests, none of which I can think of now.

Let's be friends

Hey all! I'm going to do bullet points because they're just so neat and tidy...

My journal (which has been sporadically updated but I plan on using far more) covers my life and thoughts, mostly. Some weight loss and other personal goals are thrown in. I'm a SAHM and don't have very many close friends at all so I use LJ as my outlet. My journal is friend's only.

Feel free to add me! If we don't mesh it's no big deal at all but might as well try!

Some basic bits about me -

- In a long term relationship - 2 dogs - 1 cat - 1 step son.

- I love Nature & wildlife - keeping it protected is very important to me.
- I'm an outdoorsy hippie type of girl trapped inside a city girl.
- I'm the most laid back drama free person you'll ever meet.
- I'm a quiet stay at home with a few close friends type of girl versus the party with a bunch of friends type.
- I live off energy drinks.
- I'm not into politics and religions. I have my opinions on the subjects, but keep them to myself & respesct other's.
- I'm pretty damn awesome.

Some interests -

My Journal -
- 99.9% friends only.
- I write about the usual day to day stuff - work, friends, relationships, and plenty of pet photos. - never memes or surveys.
- I usually write once or twice a week (sometimes more), but check my friends list daily.
- I enjoy actually getting to know my lj friends and building real connections and friendships. If I add you, you're not going to be just another number.

I'm looking for active users who update often - comment when you have something to say - and make an effort to have and maintain a friendship.
If you're interested in adding- great!
All I ask is that you introduce yourself in a comment (or message) - don't just add me without saying anything, it's rude and I won't add you back.
- If you add me and we don't hit it off - no worries or hard feelings.

Hi there!

I have decided to write/communicate about my life and thoughts as I believe this is a good approach for self-reflection and consciousness.

I am a female, 30, living in Germany. I am married to a wonderful man. I am working as an electrical engineer.

I like books on psychology mostly but I am also interested in other science-related literature. I like museums and I love the cinema and theatre.

Fitness and sport is important to me but I detest watching it on TV!

I love to travel and experience foreign people and their culture. I like to learn languages, even bits and pieces which I like to use in my every day life (people are either delighted when they understand it or hate it when they don't). I was raised bi-lingual so research suggests that this is one of the reasons why I can quickly learn new languages.

I love most David Lynch movies but Twin Peaks is my favorite work of art. I love music by Massive Attack and have a quite diverse taste in music but I hate hard-core, be it rock/metall or rap.

I am looking for friends from all over the world who like to share their lives at LJ.

Looking forward to reading from you!
