Right now I'm mostly blogging about my neverending family drama and my fitness planning. Every other day I either work out or post about a fitness magazine I've read, I have a huge collection I buy them and never read them so this way I'm getting all kinds of ideas for work outs and clearing the clutter?

Went to SUNY Plattsburgh got a degree in History and Political Science still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.

I'm sure I'll think of eleventy billion things after I post this.

[tigersinacage.livejournal.com]

Hey, you commented on my thread and I think we have some stuff in common, so I'm going to add you! My boyfriend is actually a Braves fan, and we went to a Braves-White Sox game on Sunday. I like hockey as well!

About to move to the Midwest.
I've been on lj in various journals since I was 15 and I have no intention of leaving yet!

I'm married, childfree, eat a vegan diet, just took a job as a professor, struggle with anxiety, and watch too much Netflix. I really enjoy most anything Whedon, DS9, TNG, bad reality tv, xfiles, and I'm pretty excited about that new sleepy holly show coming out. Music-wise I like a lot of things but always Kate Bush, dead can dance, sunny day real estate, the anniversary, suede, and the smiths. So all over the place!

My posts are usually day to day what's going on in my life. I treat my lj like a personal journal so lots of honesty. I appreciate the same in my lj friends.

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

We might get along... check out my intro here (http://punkymcmunky.livejournal.com/311016.html?thread=2034408#t2034408). :)

Hello :) I arrive here via a friend recommendation.

I'm Donna, 24, living in the UK. I'm doing an archivist apprenticeship at the moment with exams that nobody told me about coming up!

I enjoy knitting and I'm a bit of a bookworm. I have a dog that I've foolishly pampered too much. I like Star Wars a lot. My love life is a shambles, I tend to mock myself about that. My updates are usually about my friends and my daily happenings. I try to keep things interesting since there's only so many times you can tell people what time you had breakfast, isn't there.

I'm really quite active on LJ at the moment. I like getting to know people on my friends list, that doesn't mean commenting on every single thing but there needs to be some regular interaction I think.

Fairly certain I'll think of much more interesting things I could have said here in the middle of the night and get all annoyed with myself. I'm no sales person.

[meri-sielu.livejournal.com]

Yay another UK LJ-er? MInd if I add? :)

[scbabyphatgrl.livejournal.com]

I am Tarra, I'm a 23 year old female & I live in West Virginia.

I am married and have a 6 yer old step daughter. She is at our home every other weekend & 8 weeks in the summer as well as spring break & some holidays.

I have a degree in chemistry & I am a chemist at a pharmaceutical company.

I post almost daily from work. I've had this same journal since I was like 17 but got really inactive for awhile & lost friends. I'm back and needing to post just to keep my sanity. Lol

I like friends that post at least once a week and that I can get to know through their entries. I'm a pretty active commenter because I talk way too much.

I am open minded & not judgemental becaus I think it is silly to be so. I'll take friends of all types :)

[ccangel42.livejournal.com]

Adding you...bio buried on Page 4, but have a stepdaughter (and two of my own)...work as a consultant at pharma manufacturers. Just a few things in common.

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm Alicia. Just turned 40, married to the spousebeast (aka The World's Longest One Night Stand), living in Chapel Hill, NC. I am a proud geek girl, and if you question my "credentials" I will whack you upside the head with my Tank Girl anthology. ;)

I have a kind of crafting ADD. I usually have 4 or 5 projects going at once. I crochet, make jewelry, quilt, cross stitch, embroider and sew. Oh, and make collages.

My musical taste is all over the map. I was a DJ in college, and I've never quite gotten over it. ;)

I am embarrassingly attached to the Food Network. And Project Runway. And Lost Girl. And any show that is hosted by Anthony Bourdain.

I write pretty often, usually about the daily weirdness that happens that comes with living in Chapel Hill.

Honestly, I'm just your average bi poly pagan foodie unemployed barista. Which is what you do with an MS in English. ;)

[pennywren.livejournal.com]

Can I add you? :)

I could always use some new, active LJ friends!

I am a college librarian who enjoys theatre, reading (my favorite is Neil Gaiman), traveling, cooking/baking, history, museums, photography, music, video games, television (Orange is the New Black, Doctor Who, Fringe, Mad Men, Parks & Rec, anything Joss Whedon does) and film (Disney/Pixar - I also love the Disney parks; Lord of the Rings, the most recent Batman films, Little Shop of Horrors, and my friend and I have been making our way through the AFI Top 100 lists). I try to post a few times a week - usually more in the summer when I'm less busy with work and a little less during the semester.

I post about whatever I happen to be up to in real life - lately it's a lot of figuring out to do with things we get from our CSA, summer theatre festivals, and whatever I can get up to on the weekends (when the weather actually cooperates and I can get outside!). I'd like to consider myself drama free - I rarely do friend cuts and I try to comment when I have something to say.

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

I think we might get along. My intro is right below yours, here (http://punkymcmunky.livejournal.com/311016.html?thread=2034408#t2034408).

I wear plaid shirts a lot.

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

I'm 29 and live just outside NYC with my partner.

I am:
• queer & genderqueer
• a writer
• a housepartner
• anti-oppression
• fat
• a tea-drinker
• disabled (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, fibro, & more)
• childfree
• involved in a lot of social justice issues
• a voracious reader

Other interests include cooking, baking, growing my own veggies, camping, gentle yoga, board games, road trips, design (particularly typography), and music (particularly Americana, 90s music, and playing instruments). Also check out my profile page for more info.

Who I'm looking for: I'm not interested in reading journals that are exclusively about your fandoms, TV shows, or your kids (if your journal has some of this, it's fine, but I'll likely scroll past most of it). I usually post several times a week, and I comment regularly on my friends' pages (though certainly not on every post) and am looking for friends with similar habits. No hard feelings if we don't click. [Also insert standard disclaimer about racist/homophobic/transphobic/ableist/etc behavior unweclome on my journal!]

Re: I wear plaid shirts a lot.

[oneworldvision.livejournal.com]

Hi! We seem to have a fair bit in common--I'm a writer, bisexual, dealing with fibro (and other recently-discovered unpleasantness), with an interest in books and social justice.

Mind if I add you?

[jennifer0246.livejournal.com]

A friending frenzy! I've been on lj for ages and never done one of these. Onto something new!

I'm in my early 30s and live in western Massachusetts with my partner of almost 10 years and our cats (currently just two, previously as many as five, which was too many). I'm fat, feminist, a farmer (pigs and cows), a gardener (do you want any basil?), a reader, FB addict, culinary enthusiast, allergic to lots of things (gluten, casein, chicken eggs, peanuts, some tree nuts, lemon, mango, strawberry, the list keeps going ...), uber liberal, into natural living, sustainability, natural birth and childrearing, and enthusiasticly into live music, particularly the Dave Matthews Band. Farming and my MILs current terminal illness are popular topics these days.

I'd be interested in finding new friends who have things in common, but recognize that I have some pretty scattered interests so no worries if we don't have a ton of overlap. I post irregularly - once every couple of weeks, and I appreciate comments so I try to comment on others posts when I see them.

[roobarb.livejournal.com]

hi I've added you, come see if you'd like to add me back


(it was the keyboard post that got me, looked like something I'd write - I also replied to the wrong person with this too)

[damnitnicole]

Nicole, 31, usually ENTP, but results except that "E" tend to vary.

Here's some stuff about me:
- I'm 100% Jersey, but currently living in Austin, TX.
- I've never had a normal grownup job. I've given market research surveys in the mall, been in charge of a pony ride (which also involved llamas and a fairly cranky zebra/donkey hybrid) and sold handcrafted leather boots at renaissance faires around the country, and done some other stuff that I talk about in locked entries but not other people's public comments. ;)

- I'm about to start a "developer bootcamp," where I'll spend 10 weeks learning a few coding languages and pretty much not doing anything else, then come out with a grownup job.
- Angry feminist, but not radical feminist. Sex and sex-work positive.

- I like kids but don't want any. I will have cats again, though. I love cats. My roommate-to-be (we move in a week) has a cat. Her name is Truck.

- My natural hair color is blue. My follicles don't agree, but whatever. Fuck them. (Although lately, I'm rocking some purple tips while I grow everything out to start over.)

- I manage a local punk rock band, composed of my ex boyfriend (we broke up before he started the band, but have remained BFFs) and a few of our buddies.

Mostly, I post (1-3 times a week) about day to day life. Shows the band played, dudes I hook up with, anxiety about "adulting" and my impending life transitions, occasional drinking and/or drug use, how excited I am to have roommates that cook so I don't have to, and whatever else. I'm pretty upbeat in general and a lot of funny shit happens in my life. Or maybe my telling of it later on eljay is the funny part; I've been told by a few people that my LJ is the only reason they still log in here. My actual existence seems sort of mundane to me, but that could be just because I'm used to it.

Given that, I particularly enjoy reading about other people's weird lives. If your personal narrative involves pictures of you and/or your kids getting up to things that others might deem ridiculous, if you like YELL-TALKING, if you often hear from friends that you're funny when you're mad, if you've ever deliberately been homeless or a sex worker, if you have a job that most people don't even know exists, we should be friends.

I read LJ almost every day, and comment whenever I have something to say. The latter is all I ask of my LJ friends. I've had really mixed results with friendzies in the past. I'm looking for people I can connect with by reading and commenting on each other's stuff, i.e. make real friendships. I've made some really great meatspace friends from 11 years of LJ, and would like to keep doing so. I'm not really looking to read fanfic or extreme fandom stuff, reposts of tweets, poetry, and so on (I have quite enjoyed a few peoples' LJ Idol stuff, though).

[xlovebecomesher.livejournal.com]

I'm an ENFJ but the E varies for me too. I'd love to have purple hair or blue hair one of these days.

Friends?

[terminal-ennui.livejournal.com]

I'm 33, female, and live in Arizona with my partner and our cats. We don't have children and I am less and less interested in having children the older I get.

I'm an attorney, but mostly I loathe law and work in a very touchy-feely area of it. I'm vegan but substantially less interested in telling anyone about it than I was in my younger years.

I'm interested in crafty things (mainly sewing), houses (mainly mid-century), and cooking. I was very gothy in my youth but old age and a professional career have gotten rid of most of that for me.

I'm interested in all sorts of people with all sorts of interests, but I skew pretty lefty, and don't have a ton of interest in things like spiritual awakenings.

[damnitnicole]

Let's be friends! I need more grownups in my life who remember being weirdos. ;)

My intro is right above yours and probably explains the above statement.

woo!

[kickthehobbit.livejournal.com]

I'm Jenn, I'm 25, and I'm of the woman-ly variety. I live in western Oregon though I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and spent a year living in Columbus, Ohio. My undergrad degree is in chemistry and I'm working on a PhD in the field (materials chem) AS WE SPEAK. Type? Whatever. I share an apartment with my primary partner, whom I've lived with for the last two years, and our terrible black cat (whom I call Monster but who answers, depending on her mood, to "here kitty kitty", "kitty baby!", or "Twilight!"—she, um, came named).

I feel like I should probably post a giant disclaimer section: queer, feminist, polyamorous, agnostic with socialist leanings. None of these are really as important as the 'queer and feminist' bit, though I will admit, if you're uncomfortable with polyamory (because it's honestly pretty fuckin' weird), though it's not a huge thing in my journal, it will probably throw you the first time you notice I talk about my girlfriend.

Apart from the above, I don't really have any particular "omg you must believe in X and Y and Z!" rules for friending me. If you poke through the writing I have public and feel like I'd be a good addition to your friends list, go ahead and add me!

Re: woo!

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

I've seen you around so much, and we seem to have quite a bit in common. Mind if I add you?

[hotclaws.livejournal.com]

I'm well past my sell by date.Mostly I'm a crazy cat lady ,living in Manchester ,UK,with nothing better to do than surf the internet all day.I have no life so have to squeeze blogs out of things like finding a teaspoon or iron mould on a hankerchief.
I like beer ,beer foamy,beer good.
I'd like LJ friends who have low expectations of me..

[zimon66]

OOOHHH!!! I have cats and no life too. BUT, I'm a teetotaler. If that isn't a deal breaker, wanna friend?

[onceuponatime13.livejournal.com]

26 year old, female, engaged.

I am from New Jersey but am 2 weeks away from relocating for North Carolina for a teaching job! Generally, I post 3-4 times a week, and prefer people who do the same. I comment when I see fit, and tend to ask for advice in my LJ, so it'd be great if you read and commented also.

Other things about me - I LOVE to read, love Zombies, LOVE LOVE LOVE baseball (I'm a Phillies fan).

I'm very open-minded and political, but keep that to a minimum in my Live Journal.

Favorites: The Walking Dead, Doctor Who, John Steinbeck, Phillies, J.K. Rowling, Game of Thrones, Lost, Scrubs, The Office, Kate Winslet, Tom Hanks.

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

*waves* Jersey refugee in North Carolina here. :)

[nessainwe.livejournal.com]

Hi all! My name is Kat, and I am 30, living in south central Ontario, Canada. Semi recently moved from the Yukon, and have been enjoying the life of civilization once again.

I've been on LJ for years, have had this journal for about 8 years but had others in the past.

Some things I like: Video games, movies, art, history, exercise, music..

Movies: I love horror/scary movies the most, love the classics, like the original Amityville horror, psycho, the shinning, Friday the 13th, but I also like other kinds of movies like the Labyrinth, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the rings, Hobbit, and the list goes on.

TV: I don't really watch a lot of TV, but there are a select few shows I'll try to watch whenever I can.. like The Big Bang Theory, Bones, Criminal Minds, and Mythbusters.

Reading: I read a lot of sci fi, and fantasy. Though my all time favourite writer is Kathy Reichs, the mastermind behind the Bones series.

Music: This can change depending on my mood. I grew up on country and love the stuff, but I have my rock days, my classical days, and my wtf are you listening to days!

You can check out my profile for other interests. Though I am pretty laid back and tend to get along with most people.

Fell free to add me, I try to update daily and am always checking and commenting on my f-list :)

[zimon66]

Another horror movie lover!! You should see my Netflix queue, 400+ and a big chunk of it is horror related titles.

[xlovebecomesher.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! I'm Hillary and I live in Rockville, MD with my fiance in a one bedroom apartment. It's small but it's ours at least until next April when we need to decide to renew our lease or not.

I'm currently working as an assistant teacher at a school for children with learning disabilities - I work with 9th and 11th graders which is a big change for me because I'm used to working with the younger ones. During the year I also teach Hebrew/Sunday school. I talk a lot about my job search because I hate my full time job - love the kids but my administration sucks. I'm also working on my M.Ed in Special Education as I want to get into educational testing and IEP coordinating!

Sports: I <3333 the Capitals, Flyers, Redskins, and Ravens <3 I love talking hockey!

TV: Futurama, Big Bang Theory, Friends, New Girl, Community, How I Met Your Mother and my fiance just introduced me to Cheers so we're watching it from the beginning.

Music: I like anything upbeat and dance type. I also love music in other languages especially Hebrew and Greek.

Reading: I read a lot of romance novels!

Feel free to add - looking forward to getting to know new people and make friends!

[onceuponatime13.livejournal.com]

Adding you! We seem to have a lot in common - I work in Education (2nd grade) and plan to become certified in Special Education, Flyers fan, and love ALL of the shows you listed!

[samanosukesgirl.livejournal.com]

Female Canadian bacon here, turning 33 next Friday (woohoo?). Single but it's NOT by choice. Unhappily single, on top of that.

I've been on LJ for a good number of years.

People comment when they want. SPAM ME with anything. It's all good. I read all the time. Just because I don't comment doesn't mean I don't care. I do. I just don't know what to say at times.

If people are looking for people who need to reply to stay active, don't add me. I never do friends cuts. When people take me off, I never ask why.

While I prefer that you're 21+, if you're between 18-20, that's fine.

VIDEO GAMES = LIFE. Onimusha is my main jam. ♥

Anything and everything Takeshi Kaneshiro tops my list of watch to watch/listen to/play with (Onimusha)/everything. He is my LJ theme. ♥

I suffer from the following mental illnesses: GAD, OCD, BDD, SAD (my season is summer), depression and paranoia.

Other things I suffer from: asthma and PCOS.

I love history and language learning.

I'm in the process of taking a photography course, starting within the next couple of months.

I read (rarely Sy-Fy and first person. I'm more into history and historical romances, the Middle Ages and Renaissance are the two big ones I read the most of when it comes to historical romances, but nearly any I will read) and write.

I'm a crazy cat lady through and through. I had to recently put down my 14 year old cat, Osiris, as of last month, due to her having late stage cancer and progressive kidney failure. It was hard, but I figure putting her to sleep right away instead of having it become worse was the best course of action. I'm in the process of getting a new cat.

Sports wise, not much into the professional kind, but I watch (North American) football to help me cope with all the shit that's going on inside my head. It's a form of therapy for me. I LOVE THE OLYMPICS!! I also watch varsity football (FIGHTING IRISH!!)

Music? I will listen to nearly every genre.

Movies? I will watch any genre.

As for TV, I don't watch much, contrary to popular belief. I watch Mythbusters, The Simpsons, Futurama, How It's Made, various historical eras, The Amazing World Of Gumball, just to name a few. I watch a LOT of anime (via DVD and Netflix for the most part. I watch Crunchyroll, too).

I'm going to make more of an effort to post more. People have been posting more on Twitter, FB, and Tumblr these past few years.

I'm not too hip on internet lingo, so I apologise in advance for having to decipher what a lot of people have to say.

More info is in my profile and my friends only LJ entry. I make fun of a lot, poke fun of a lot, what I'm into, what you're into, so if you're easily butthurt, do not add me.

Remember: what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, and in no way will I share anything from your friends only entries with anyone else unless you give permission.

Be excellent with everyone and all will be well.

[adnama-wpg.livejournal.com]

added you.

I'm 32 on Monday and in Canada.

Also not single by choice so I post a lot of dating horror stories!

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm Leslie, 36 (I know...), a FIRE DRAGON from Vancouver, and more of an introvert than you might think! I write about what's going on in my life. I used to have quizzes galore in my journal, but the only regular ones these days are from Blogthings.

I play FINAL FANTASY 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6... also DRAGON QUEST 1-6, and the MOTHER series. Occasionally, I'll play LUFIA. I like the classic video games, as you can tell.




I'm a bit interested in twins (and other multiples; triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, etc.), babies and kids (I like them to a certain extent, but am a long way from having them right at the moment), reading, humor, true crime, comics.. the list could go on and on.

What I do for fun: reading, going to bookstores and the library, hanging out with friends, eating out with them, keeping in touch with people, listening to music, going to my friends' houses, looking after little kids, sometimes going places by myself, parties at friends' houses, etc.

Foods I like: some Chinese food (hot and sour soup, noodles, curry, wonton soup, etc.), pizza, pasta, chicken, sushi, turkey, Pho noodles, steak, etc.

Music I like: classic rock, some current rock, some pop (no BSB-type stuff for me)... that's about it, though I can stand most other types... even my brother's weird mix tapes of Monster Magnet, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Mercury Rev. Some other groups I like include (but are not limited to): Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Everclear, Matthew Good Band, Our Lady Peace, Led Zeppelin, New Order, the Doors, Big Sugar, Creed, Nickelback, Collective Soul, the Police, etc.

Stuff I like to read: humorous stuff, some (auto-)biographies, Guinness World Records (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com) stuff (that Primetime TV show is cool), the Outlander series (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/series/-/193/mass_market/ref=pd_serl_books/103-1257418-6568623), Bathroom Readers (http://www.unclejohn.com), true crime, trivia, some fiction (and some non-fiction as well), comic strips, stuff about music... guess it all depends on what I feel like reading!

[silviarambles]

You sound like someone I'd get along with, plus I don't have enough fellow Italians on my flist (I'm from Rome). Mind if I add you?

My thread is here!

[roobarb.livejournal.com]

I'm from Sheffield in the UK, haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up but in the mean time I'm a teacher to mostly 16-20 year old (though I do teach older ones too) engineering students. I don't have anything to do with the technical side of their courses I just try and bring their English and ICT and occasionally their maths up to scratch. (Don't be daunted by the English bit, I'm dyslexic and make typos constantly I won't pick at what you write.)

I live with my daughter and budgie and next door to my mum. I read avidly though having just counted up am shocked to find I've read almost 170 books this year so far, I knew I read a lot but though 50+ was more my speed.

Come look at my journal and profile, I'm friendly and approachable I think though will ignore rants and rages expecially over politics.

Looking forward to meeting you :)

[meathiel]

Hi! I've seen you around ... we have mutual friends. And shared interests ... So would you like to give it a try?

[pickleboot.livejournal.com]

39, grown up goth, mom to two(one of each, zane will be 13 on sunday, reidun was 11 on the 17th, just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary on the 21st- july is busy for us!), stay at home out of choice but am hoping to pick up work doing photo retouching(film photography) because i miss it.

i am an artist- i am a metal smith/jeweler, i paint, draw, and am finally learning how to use photoshop after learning to use the first version way back when in art school. that should date me. i also knit and spin, i even process my own fleeces. i have four spinning wheels and hope to make it six at some point soon. i am approaching stash exceeding life expectation, and still buy more yarn and fiber because well, shiny! i have a major love for red lipstick, i collect makeup, shoes, and am finally dealing with purging my closet of all clothes that no longer fit me(most everything).

i love reading. if i don't have a book going i feel at loose ends. i love mysteries and suspense, have a new found love of alternate reality/sci fi/fantasy, and give me a good zombie or vampire series, well, i might not show up on lj until i have read all of the series available.

music. oh boy. i listen to just about anything, but the only knowledge i have of popular music is through my daughter. all four of us have our ipods/phones glued to us at all times so we have our music.

we are big believers in letting our kids do their own thing. our son is autistic but very high functioning. if either kid wanted to shave their heads or dye their hair blue, we'd have no issue with that. then again, i have naturally fire engine red hair, and have rarely had hair colors not found in a crayon box.

i do suffer from chronic pain, and am disabled from it. i tend to talk about that a bit. i also have three dogs- a deaf boxer, a pit bull, and a mastiff am staff cross. please do not friend me if you believe pit bulls are evil dogs. i have little tolerance for any form of -ism. i also have parrots, and we are starting our search for a third.

i read my flist daily, but tend to suck at updating as much as i would like. i am trying to get better! add me if you'd like and i will add you back and try to post at least something daily.

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

Adding you!

[hotclaws.livejournal.com]

no,it's cool,more beer for me,lol

[nounsandverbs]

Followed several friends here. I'm Matt, 38, and I live in the exurbs of New York City with my wives, children, co-husbands ... "Wait, what did he just say?"

Yeah, my family's a little unusual. I talk about us a lot. We just made it through a very trying year, with one of our number experiencing a severe health crisis just after having our household's fifth child. Luckily everyone seems to be on the mend now.

I'm a writer, musician, songwriter, shameless movie geek, and occasionally I dress in medieval garb for fun.

I'm also a slightly disillusioned member of the mainstream media, and I'm going back to school in the fall to learn interactive media. (I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like fun. That should tell you something about how I tend to navigate my life.)

My journal is Friends Only, and I'm posting less than I used to, but I generally read every day.

[punkymcmunky.livejournal.com]

Your lifestyle sounds fascinating!

My name is Heather. I'm 30 yrs old, from Virginia. I am a single mom of 2 little girls. Yes, I talk about them in my LJ but I do talk about other things other than my girls :)

I've been on Livejournal...oh wow. I can't even remember. Maybe 11 years? I used to post a lot, but it's been once in awhile lately, just because school is out for the summer, so I'm apparently entertainment director (when did I sign up for that?!) and working on my house. I don't know if you can just develop OCD, but I can't deal with the clutter in my house. I'm trying to simplify everything. And I'm the only one in my house who does anything (we live with my dad...and he's a packrat). The clutter = chaos to me...which causes stress and anxiety. Wow, I'm sounding like a basket case already! I swear I'm not ;) But yeah, I'm getting back into writing more, updating on my oh so interesting life.

I started running the beginning of last year. I went from barely being able to walk a mile in 2011 to finishing my first 8k in March of last year to finishing my first half marathon not even 6 months after my first race...so yeah, you could say running became a big passion for me. I have gotten off track the past few months, but I'm trying to light a fire under my ass and get going again. Don't take me running a half marathon for me being in shape. I am NOT. That's the goal, though. I have a long way to go, but I've also come a long way already, too. As of right now, I have 85 lbs I'd like to lose. So I talk about weight loss and running and fitness and all that good stuff, too.

As far as music goes, I love almost all of it! From rock to pop to country to classical. Rock is definitely my favorite, though. Sevendust is my favorite band.

I don't watch a lot of tv, but I do have my shows I like to watch. Big Bang Theory, King of Queens, American Horror Story, Scandal. I'm trying to get into these shows everyone talks about, like The Walking Dead, but I have to watch them from the very beginning and honestly, my ADHD doesn't allow me to sit still for that long to watch all those episodes!

I love to read. That's probably my favorite thing. I'm a dork, I know. I read almost everything, as well. I've recently stumbled upon books by Elin Hilderbrand. I read "Barefoot" and just fell in love with the style of writing and just the feel of the book, so now I'm trying to read ALL of her books. One of my favorite books is "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. And yes...it WILL change your life. ;)

I'm trying to get into scrapbooking, but finding the patience for it has been a battle. I'm trying to live a calm, more peaceful life (think ZEN) but when you google "finding inner peace" you just get a bunch of crap...lol

I'm also trying to lose a lot of weight... I would be happy with an 85 lb. weight loss! I could never do the kind of running you are though.

Scrapbooking DOES take a lot of patience. I am so.far.behind in all of the scrapbooking I would like to do. the kids keep getting bigger, I keep taking pictures and scrapbooking isn't getting done LOL!

Anywho, I added you. Add me back if you like! :)

Hi there! My name is Lorena. I'm 28 yo, from Yucatán in Mexico. I lived in NJ a long time ago (2003-2004) and that's when I found out about LJ and never looked back. As of Lately I hadn't been posting much due giving birth to my first child and now that I wanted back I realize that my friend list is either vanishing or full of baby haters lol. Now that I starting to write again I would like to have friends that don't mind my obsession with my baby boy.
I usually write about my day to day.
I finished my grad degree on PsyEd almost a year ago and I work as a teacher for HS students with special needs (blind, deaf, motor or intellectual dispaired). I'm currently on maternity leave and I should be back at work by September 1st.

I'm not a baby hater :) My daughter is 18 months old and we are hoping to conceive again soon.

I also love that you are currently living in Mexico. I have been there a few times and loved it!

Added if you don't mind!
