Support rosicrucian!
Hello, I'm rosicrucian, but you may also call me Felicia, if you'd like. I would like to nominate myself for the Livejournal Advisory Board.
Why do I feel I'd be a good fit?
I am dedicated to Livejournal. Though this is not my original account I started with, my first livejournal account was created October 7th, 2000. Since then, I have updated on an almost daily to multiple times per day basis for almost eight years. Almost four-thousand entries later, we have seen each other grow and evolve into what we are today. And it is because of this that I will fight tooth and nail for Livejournal to what you, the users, want it to be.
My account has been paid consistently since around 2003, but I have always fought for the desire of free account holders to be able to access this site in the ways they would prefer. I firmly believe that while paid accounts are nice perks, free users are the main generators of content and should be treated on a level that acknowledges this. As such, I would like to work towards healing the wounds and alienation that Livejournal has left a large portion of the userbase feeling.
I would also like to continue to promote the free communication of voices and sharing of materials that Livejournal is so well known for. This is the community that attracted me to Livejournal originally, as a meek teenager with an a keen interest in fandom. Eight years later, partially into my twenties, this is still the most beautiful part of the Livejournal experience.
As for my credentials, I have also done volunteer work on the support boards to help users make the most of their Livejournal experience. Off the internet I have volunteered for and raised money for several non-profit organizations, as well. An example to show how completely dedicated I am to what I believe, I have stayed awake for over 48 hours straight to earn over $300 for a charity singlehandedly. I have also helped organize peaceful demonstrations that have resulted in over two-hundred attendees. Lastly, I am also held in extremely high regard at my job, where I hold several master keys and am frequently advised for advice. I am no-nonsense and all about what I can do to help people. In this case, it would be you, the Livejournal users.
So vote for me, rosicrucian, and I certainly won't let you down!
