Hello. I am anita_peach_60. You can call me Anita or by my nickname, Amy.
I think one of the more interesting thing about me is that even though I am in my late 40's, many of my LJ ( and other friends ) are younger than me, some of them MUCH younger than I am. I think this shows that I may be getting older but inside, nah. I'm just a 20-something that never wants to grow up. And I'm okay with that.
The three things that interest me most are my 10-year-old daughter, photography and a tie between music and movies. I can't live without either, quite frankly. Who'd want to?
I found this community because for one is one of the people that when you start an Insane Journal that you are friended to right off the bat. And from reading my friends page, I stumbled onto this site and it sounded like a place I could relate to and possibly meet some other very cool, open-minded people.
What I hope to get from this place is more friends, and a good place to vent about that crap that is happening to LJ since the new owners took over. Sadly, I paid in early February for another year of a paid account so I am still going to be there until that time next year, but no one says I have to just post SOLELY over there. I'm going to slowly but surely recruit more of my friends here and import my fics and other cool stuff to this journal.
I left LJ because of the disdain the new owners seem to have with us LJ users, especially those of us who've been there for a long time. Sneaking in new rules/restrictions without telling anyone and if they did, it was in Russian so that only the Russian speaking/writing LJers could know or understand what was going on. How underhanded can you get? God knows what other crap they are going to pull over the next few years. It makes me SHUDDER. And to think that LJ had started damned near in my backyard here in the Portland Metro are of the Pac NW. How sad an end it's come to, eh?
