This is perfect! I've been looking for some new friends!

My name is Katie, I'm 34 years old, and I live in Philadelphia with my girlfriend of 14 years. I'm a professional writer and I love to read, so there's lots of literary talk in my journal. Other interests of mine include cooking and baking, gardening, hiking, etc... A lot of my posts include photos. I'm not a world champion at commenting, but I do make an effort.

My journal is mostly friends-only at the moment, but if you're interested I'll be happy to add you so you can check it out--I promise I won't be hurt or offended if it's not your style.

If there's anything else you'd like to know, just ask!

Why not! I'd love to meet some new folks :)

I'm Tess. I'm 25, currently working with students with special needs (anywhere from mild to severe). I used to work as a cook; I have a dual degree in Psychology and Spanish and if everything lines up will start my masters in social work in the fall. I love travel (when I have the money), food, reading (when I have the time), general media consumption. I haven't been posting much lately, but work will slow down a lot in the next week. Any questions, I'd love to answer! :)

You sound interesting! Shall we try it? My own intro is below ... I'm on a bit of a hiatus currently as far as my own posts are concerned, but I read and comment and I hope it to be over in a few weeks (I am job-searching atm and the whole interview-phase is too exhausting and too insecure for me to post).

I would love some new friends!

I'm Robina, 33, NYC home (really "un" for now) schooling mama on my way to becoming a midwife (year 1 out of 3 on the part-time track at my school). In a past life I was an academic and taught/studied African American literature, American culture, and women and gender studies. I'm a feminist, progressive type. I'm into all the stuff we Americans consider AP -- cosleeping, nursing, babywearing, EC, etc -- that my Pakistani family just considers normal childrearing. :) I consider myself a "mindful" parent more than anything else. I grew up here in NYC and in Pakistan both.

I like traveling, cooking, learning, reading, and people who laugh a lot. I love LJ and being able to see how people spend their day-to-days (which is mostly the function of mine: to chronicle the day-to-day). Be forewarned I just gave birth to baby #3 so I'm not currently journaling or commenting as much as usual but normally I'm quite an active LJ-er.

Hi Erin! We have lots of friends in common so I've seen you around. We also have a lot of *stuff* in common -- homeschooling our three kids (girl/boy/girl of almost the exact same ages!), are interested in much of the same domestic stuff, from what I can tell eat similarly etc etc.

I think I tried friending you once a long time ago but maybe you weren't looking for new friends at that time. But if you're interested feel free to add me now! I'm sure our friends in common will vouch for me. ;)
