yo.

jordan, 32, fabulous.

i've had some growing pains with my journal over the past few months, but i'm comfortable with knowing what i can say and what i can't now and i want to add new friends, because the more the merrier, eh?

i work in showbiz (hence the discretion issues). you won't find any insider gossip in my journal, so don't add me for that. i've learned the delicate art of keeping my mouth shut. XD

i consider los angeles home but i am currently "doing time" in the midwest.

i'm a goth hippie, srsly. spiritual, vegetarian, environmentalist. industrial music, black hair, bondage. it's fab.

i write about my life and my art and adventures. i'm political (liberal) and make no apologies. i'm a compulsive volunteer and activist. open-minded towards gender, sexuality, substances, etc etc just no puppy kickers, thx.

Hi!

My name is Tonya. I've been using this site since January, and although I have a great flist, I found that I'm always seeing the same 3 or 4 people post entries. So, I'm hoping to make more friends on IJ so I can have more to comment on.

About me: Sometimes, I write entries that make no sense at all. Like, I'll just have a thousand hearts on a page. This is usually around Christmas or Valentine's Day when I'm feeling kind of lonely or bored. Sometimes, I write long entries and throw in a little poetry or crazy head ranting... And sometimes, I write story type entries where I try to describe the events around me in a clean readable way.

Please let me know if you want to add me.

I live and work in San Francisco, and I'm 26. And I'm single.

Hello :D

My name is Laura, and I am 26! 
I'm not exactly sure why I joined this, save for to find people my age to talk to. . . 
Which, I suppose, is the point of this?
Yes!

Anyway!
I don't have a 'real' journal at the moment, but plan to get one soon.   I came to ij originally looking for roleplaying buddies and communities to join.   I really do love to RP!  I just love to write in general, honestly.  I love to escape on wings of fancy. 
I also like music a lot.  I'm very into J-rock right now - mainly the bands Dir en grey and Onmyouza!
I also love Cradle of Filth, Kamelot, Jewel, Pink! and Enya, just to show off my rather colorful musical appreciations ^^

I work at a Cafe in Ukrop's - a super market which is found in Virginia.  We might be branching out a little bit more soon, so look for us?
I also have a sideline thing at the Starbucks which is now a part of our store!  I enjoy that a great deal.  The smell of coffee clinging to the skin is delicious, in my opinion.   

As for my personality, I'm friendly but rather shy for the most part - even online.
I am a loyal friend though, and I love talking to new people!

I'm not sure what else to say, really?
If you'd like to talk, you can hit me up on email for now!

Hello there

Hi, I'm September, a 38 year old woman from England. I'm a teacher -to 6 year olds, a mum to my 2 teenagers, a wife and an LJ refugee.

I'm into reading, laughing, cooking, eating, and making new friends. My post are a mixture of utter drivel about my life, funny things the kids at school say and pretty much anything that takes my fancy. I comment lots and love to get comments myself.

So, add me?

About me, why I'm here on this site, and how to find out more about me

As well, my usual online usernames are either 'Maddie' or 'mikesmaddie'.

I was on this site before under a different username. And it was a private journal that I had. But for reasons known only to me, I decided to delete that journal.

Well, I decided to come back to the site as I wanted to get away from another online journal site (I won't say which one it is but I just don't feel happy there. And I felt that perhaps a change of scenery might help in regards to my journal writing and such).

And since I have come back to the site, I have set up a 'friends only' journal with the username mentioned above.

With that out of the way...

I'm a 35 year old woman who was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. And I now live in Hinton, Alberta, Canada with both Bri(an) (my fiance/common-law husband) and our lady cat, Spook.

We used to have a gentleman cat named Sparks. But he died last October. And he was twelve.

There is more to tell about me. And if you would like to know more, then please feel free to look at my profile page here: http://aine-cara.insanejournal.com/profile

And if you would like to add me to your friends' list, then please feel free to do so. And I will be sure to add you back.

Thanks for reading.

God bless and take care. :).

Other Tidbits:
I'm pretty much a geek - I love sci-fi/fantasy conventions, writing, anime, art (especially fantasy art - anything with dragons, unicorns, faeries, stuff like that..).  I also like to read and write fan fiction.  My current obsession is Captain Tsubasa (soccer anime) but I also like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Dragonball Z...I also found out there's Anne of Green Gables fan fiction, which is actually pretty good!

Also LOVE classic horror - movies as well as old radio shows.  I also like graveyards, especially old ones.  I'm even looking to get into cemetery photography. Anyone have suggestions for good, reasonably priced digital cameras? :)

I'm not good introducing myself, but I'll give it a shot.

My name is Melanie. I'm a girl (duh!). I'm bi. I'm almost 25, and I'm from Canada. I live with my mom, my boyfriend, our cat, my mom's dog, and my grandfather. I don't have any siblings. Sort of. It's a long story. I have never met my real father, however my mom's last boyfriend is my father figure. I grew up with him since I was five years old, until they broke up a few years ago obviously, lol. I don't go to school, and I don't work. I love music, mostly just classic rock but I love any other as well. I'm not picky when it comes to movies. I like them all. I'm a TV junkie. So many shows I like. Name it, I probably like it. But right now I'm obsessing with Crossing Jordan, CSI Miami, WWE Smackdown, WWE RAW, Two And A Half Men, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Friends, Family Guy, According To Jim. I think that's it. Anyway, in my spare time I love browsing on LJ, and IJ, reading a good book, listening to music, watching tv and movies, napping, and shopping. If you're wondering, yes I'm a Harry Potter fan as well. :)

Comment on my friends only entry, but do NOT add me first.

another LJ refugee

I'm 29, a wife, and SAHM to a 3 year old daughter.  I enjoy writing, fanfiction, anime, literature (especially Russian), anything Jane Austen, natural beauty, music...  I'm a bit of a hippie, definitely a free spirit, sarcastic by nature and romantic at heart.  Yeah, I dig chick flicks, but no, I don't expect real life to be like one.  :)  I'm liberal- I think people should be able to live their lives on their own terms without protesters telling them otherwise.  I dislike drama, so add me if you like and remove me when you're over it- I don't mind.  :)

Greetings, insane journal users

I'm 30, Ithaca NY

I miss being in my 20s cause I didn't do as much muff diving as I would have liked in that time.







1) Give your name and a little about yourself, including interests and hobbies.

I'm a font designer, I'm 30 years old. I'd like to begin a hobby of muff diving and am currently looking for candidates. Particularly I'd like to put into practice some of the techniques I've seen at Abbywinters.com.


2) Tell us why you came to InsaneJournal. Did someone from IJ tell you (and if so, who)?

Wanted an alternative to LJ. Greatest Journal wrote a notice on their site one day that they don't do a lot of maintenance anymore and advised people to check out IJ.


3) What is your favorite thing, so far, about InsaneJournal?

It looks like they try to make a point of being more welcoming to people than LJ and the site layout looks neat and tidy.


4) Have you joined any other asylums? If not, would you like to?

Definitely looking for asylums to join. I really like the shitty_advice community at LJ, I might try to start one here. I've joined [info]off_topic_cafe.


5) Is there a certain kind of asylum or type of friends you are looking for?

Well I do like humor. For friends I guess just people that I have things in common with. Though people who are different in some way are interesting.


6) Do you want to be an active member of InsaneJournal? (Meaning, do you want to promote IJ, update, and get involved in asylums?)

Definitely.

Heya everyone!  I came over here from GJ (where I was beenie_in_okla) and LJ (where I was and am dewdropinn333).  My friends' list is sadly short, and I'd like to make some new friends.

Here is my info page, and it will tell you a lot about me.

Here is an introduction post for you to fill out if you want to add me.

If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, don't hesitate to ask!

Oh, and if you have a LJ, feel free to add me over there too!

[info]errandmonkey

Hello!

My name is Jen and I'm a 30 year old RN. I just moved to IJ after my sister told me about it. I've been on LJ for a long time now, and while I'll probably keep it, it seemed almost like a fresh start to come here and meet new people. :)

I live in Winlock, WA. I'm engaged and have a 18 month old boy. I'm just getting settled into a hospital job and once the training is over, will have steady hours to post and chat it up on here!

I'm very open-minded. It's not my place to judge what other people do, and I've been around long enough to know that drama isn't fun and I'd just like to get along with people and enjoy friendships.

My most favorite of all hobbies is writing and reading books. So you'll probably hear a lot about my writing woes. And about my baby. :) But I'm looking to have a freedom here I don't feel I have at LJ to be completely myself and, well, as corny as it sounds, start over.

I turned 30 in November and then came the new year and a new job. So I figured it was time to take a leap and fix the things I don't like in my life. If you have any of my interests in common with me, or don't have a lot or even any but want to make a friend and follow me on my journey, please do! I always friend back and rarely ever de-friend. I reply to posts that I think I can make an intelligent response on and always try to keep up on my friend's journals.

And enough blabbing from me!

Haaaaay I'm sam

HEY! My name is Sammie. I am 27 years old and currently live in Massachusetts, though I'm from maine and plan on moving back HOPEFULLY by this coming summer. I have a 5 year old daughter named Charlene and we share a one bedroom apartment in a busy town. Right now I work at a local Dunkin Donuts - as of 3 weeks ago. I know, pretty shitty dead end job but I'm having difficulty finding a job I enjoy. In 2005-2006, I was in collge for Radiology Technology, and someday when I have the chance, I will return to college and finish. But until then, I gotta do what I gotta do.



Let's see. I'm looking for open-minded friends who will not judge me.  I guess that may be hard to find since everyone is judged on how they act or what they do.  I'm the type of person who adds people to really KNOW them, and to be friends.  So someone who updates often and about themselves, instead of quizzes and things that dont matter.  Like I said, I like getting to know the people I add to my friends list, as I share some pretty dark things at times.

My interests... well, hmmm.  I am totally into scary movies.  I prefer them over any other "type" of movie.  I'm not a huge TV fan, and it's rare I will sit through any one tv show.  I also like to shoot pool, though I'm not very good at it.  I'm not big on going out to places, so hanging here at home or at someone else's home is more ideal for me.  I enjoy drinking, and have severely cut down, but still have drinks occasionally.  Like tonight ; Superbowl! :-)  I smoke weed - and I occasionally post about things regarding it so if that bothers you, you may not want to add me.  I'm not some hardcore druggie, but I enjoy smoking in the evening after my daughter has gone to bed.  Um what else... Hmmm.  I'm single, but that's a whole other story in itself.

I really dont know what else to say.  I have been journaling since July 2001.  I started out at livejournal as LAVALIQID (which I still have but never really update anymore.)  I then moved to greatest journal where I was lickinglizzards and acid_illusion.  And now.. like many people, I am here.

But that's about it.  I prefer friends over the age of 21, who are open-minded, update regularly about themselves, and comment every so often - because like I said, I like to KNOW and be friends with the people I add.

I hope this wasnt too long - and hopefully there's someone out there cool enough to be my friend :-) lol jk.

My name is Courtney, I'm 25, and I live in Virginia with my husband and our two cats. My husband is in the military and we are moving to Japan in about 6 months. I am a photographer. I enjoy music (mostly hard rock and metal), reading, traveling, surreal art, and movies.
As of lately my entries consist of getting ready for our move to Japan and our renewal wedding which is in about two weeks.
I am looking for friends that are around my age, I wont add anyone over 30. I am not looking for people who post about drug or alcohol use either.
I am a friendly person with an opinion. I have made a lot of great friends through various blogging sites over the last 6 years.

If youre interested in adding me, please comment on my friends only post. thanks!

Hello.

New to IJ would love some friends. :)

NAME: Dia
AGE: Older than I want to be.
INTERESTS; Photography, music, blogging, all forms of art, family.
HOBBIES; The basics are concert hopping, hitting up starbucks, going for walks in the city with my camera. I'm a concert photographer who works with local and regional bands, so basically my hobby is my job. It's fun and wonderful and I've just come out of hibernation (had a baby he's three months now so back to work!)
LOOKING FOR; I'm looking for anyone and everyone. I think we learn something from every interaction and I'm full of knowledge and curiousity. The only requirement to be my friend is that you do NOT type lYkE tHIs, are not racist, homophobic and I think that is about it.
Also: I do post a lot of images in my journal BUT I do it behind a cut.
ALSO KNOWN AS; http://www.myspace.com/mylovesaverb and http://www.greatestjournal.com/saygoodbye (yes I'm a transplant! Five long years with GJ I hope IJ will be just as awesome).

Hi

I'm 29 years old. Left LiveJournal when it got sold to the Russians. Came here when S.S. GJ started capsizing. Back on LJ I had some friends from the other side of the planet. I'd like to get something like that going here. I need more people to read. I mostly blog crap. Not really a "cheese sandwich" journal, because I'm too lazy to record all the minutia.  Just daily goings-on and the occasional photo. If you add me I'll add you back, and I'll comment if I have anything worth saying.

Hello, my name is Tracy and I've snuck over here from Greatest Journal...since it doesn't seem to work half the time and I'm just annoyed. I also feel that an asylum suits me so much better. *lol*

Looking to add some new friends over here. I'm trying to get all my interests on my page, but it's been a little hectic here in life. I own a Ragdoll cat, she's is my baby. I am dating someone. No kids, even though I want them, never been married, yet. I like reading other people's journal and actually getting to know them. I'm not looking to add numbers to my friends list. Never understood that. Why would you want to scroll through all those entries if you could care less about the people on your list?

I love animals, birds, especially raptors, my family is my life. I'm into music, movies, some television, Lost and OLTL would be my two downfalls. I like to read, cross stitch, scrapbook, bead, take pictures, create graphics, etc.

I'm currently finally finishing my degree in graphic design so that I too can finally have a career and make some decent money.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, feel free to add me and I'll add you back.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
