2020 LJ Friending Frenzy

Jan 05, 2020 10:14

I did this a couple years ago and was super suprised when I got almost 3 THOUSAND replies. @_@. I have some friends who want to come back to LJ but need more friends, so I figured i'd do it again and see if we can at least get them some more LJ friends, if not others, too!

Full disclosure, I'm not an atheist but I do not post about religion apart from sometimes complaining about how I'm disconnected from my faith at the moment sadly. Otherwise your whole entry really speaks to me. Not only but also the fandom part - sci-fi and fantasy preference - I do have so few people on my f-list who still discuss fandom and it would be super nice to have that again to some degree. I love travelling too. I learnt Italian in school and spent some time in Padova but now more than 20 years later it's appalling I forgot everything but would love to refresh my memory. I know I haven't written an entry because I'm rather shy... so ask me anything if you have questions? It would be lovely if you considered friending me. I know my entries can be scarce and I'm sometimes rather down but I'm working on it. I'm a researcher too, currently at a university in the U.S., working on climate change issues in various forms. Well, that's more than I ever disclose in public. But here we go. So add?

Oh hello, fellow German :)
We have a few mutual friends and quite a bit in common - I especially like your taste in music. I used to be a huge metal/goth fan, and am currently getting back into listening more of it after going through different phases of all kinds of music genres.

Would you like to give it a try? My blurb is here: https://lavenderfieldss.livejournal.com/103546.html?replyto=1391226
