Hi, my name is Courtney, I'm from Utica, NY. I dont have many people on my friends list these days. I used to on my old lj, uticaclub, but then made this more private one. I saw you left a comment on my friend, Petrova's lj, and I saw yr icon (is it a painting of Sylvia Plath?) and thought it looked very interesting so I checked our yr profile and we seem to have quite a few things in common! We like alot of the same authors and I noticed you like F.Scott Fitzgerald and was wondering if you like Zelda Fitzgerald's work too? I love her writings, letters, paper dolls and paintings. I have tons of books on their lives together and it's one of my obsessions. Do you know Petrova through pen-palling? Sorry this is so long, I just thought I'd ask if I could be added to yr friends list cause you seem really cool. I dont have many people on my list either, so I understand if you dont wanna add a stranger! I didnt even write my intrests on my profile for this lj, but i have a bunch listed on my myspace, my myspace username is : Courtney Ramone

The painting is Sylvia Plath, a self-portrait. It's funny you should mention Zelda Fitzgerald, I haven't seen any of her work yet but I found out about her when I was doing some research last week. I decided to write an English essay on Female writers with mental illness and how their illness affected their work. Now I know who to ask about Zelda! I just tried to see your interests on myspace but your profile is showing as private. :) x
Hi! Thanks so much for adding me! Your essay your doing sounds very interesting. I do research on old asylums and people with mental illness. I was misdiagnosed as schizophrenic for years. Since I was 17 and I'm almost 33 now and was just diagnosed w/Petit Mal epilepsy this past year. My life is totally different now that I know I'm having absence seizures and understand everything better. My new dr tells me that being undiagnosed for so long lead to me having anxiety, agoraphobia and panic attacks and hypergraphia. I'm esp interested in Zelda Fitzgerald and Nancy Spungen cause I also feel they were misdiagnosed. Even Zelda's last Dr felt she was misdiagnosed. I could go on forever about Zelda! Do you have a myspace page? If you do I can find it and add you so you can read my interests. I have everything online private and filtered cause my son's father used to stalk me. Thanks again for adding me! ♥
You are a fellow lover of Miranda July, Frank Black and libraries and hot cups of tea and Delicatessen and...and... Ooh, are you from Sheffield? Would you mind if I add you?Ha! This is totally random, but I wandered in here because I really liked your username (^_^)
Im not (Im Russian, but live in Manchester) but my boyfriend is from Sheffield. I travel there often to visit his parents and sister, and I like it very much :)
Hello! You added me a while ago but I think you must've deleted me because I didn't add you back (forgot to check back to the post on makeafriend_uk - idiot).
