Punky's FRIENDZY FRIENDING FRENZY!!!

Hello everyone. We all know how a friendzy works.

Reply with a comment telling us all about yourself and what you look for in LJ friends and post a link to this friendzy on your own journal. Spread the word!

I will leave this entry public until August 22, 2013.

I will comment with my own info!

Looking for friends

I was directed to this friending meme by [livejournal.com profile] mustardseed.

Name: Emma

Age: 41

About me: I've been journaling on livejournal since it's inception. But this is the journal I've had the longest. My college majors were Economics and Political Science, but I don't discuss them in my journal. I belong to communities for that. My father always told me to never discuss religion, politics, and sex in order to avoid headaches since they elicit strong responses from most people. I watch one or two new movies a week. I don't watch a lot of TV because I don't have a lot of free time. I typically work in banking and finance and am currently looking for a new position in the field. With my free time I blog and read and do various arts & crafts (knitting, card-making, scrapbooking). I'm also headed back to grad school. It's really to help me with my career than anything else. I'm a bibliophile and have read many books in my lifetime. I'm currently reading the Game of Thrones series. I don't listen to a lot of music because of time constraints, but I like classic rock, indie rock, alternative rock, British invasion, world music, and classical music. I studied classical piano for about 15 years and am self-taught in the guitar. I'm engaged to be married next year. My book reviews are on goodreads and shelfari. I just write about my day and all that entails and will sometimes include interesting finds like photos and links. I'm pretty much a laid-back, boring person, but I do read your journals. I also like to garden.

What I'm looking for: I'm looking for people that are pretty active, since I am. I try to log on at least once a day and I do read your journals. If I don't comment it's because maybe your entry is a rant and you're just venting or the subject matter is sensitive. You don't have to have the same interests as me.

Anything else? I'm fairwells on most online sites on the net, including Dreamwidth, insanejournal, deadjournal, wordpress, tumblr, twitter. I also own the domain fairwells.com (nothing there at the moment). I'm also fairwell on goodreads and fairwells on shelfari. My photos are on instagram but my handle there isn't fairwells. My icon is a photo of me wearing shades. Oh and I was born and raised in NYC and currently reside there

I would love to add you! I'm averaging about one post a week; I'm definitely a lurker as well. Congratulations on your engagement!

Thank you for your well wishes and the add. I added you back. I post usually once a day and try to read my friends page every day too. But sometimes I may miss a day or two. I look forward to interacting with you here :)

Hello Emma - would you like to be friends? Here's my intro post (http://punkymcmunky.livejournal.com/311016.html?thread=2025704#t2025704).

I always like seeing crafting projects other people are involved with and would love to read your book reviews. I'm in upstate NY but come down into the city fairly often for theatre.

What are you headed back to grad school for?

I used to post my arts & crafts projects on my website fairwells.com, but I took it down recently. I plan to post them on my LJ in the future though.

I'm headed back to grad school for a Masters in Economics.

I post my book reviews on goodreads (Fairwell) and shelfari (Fairwells). But I do discuss the books I'm reading on LJ.

I read your intro post. We have a few things in common :) I added you. I look forward to reading your journal. Thanks for the add :)

I just added you on Goodreads - it'll come from either touchofgr3y or Katie (I can never tell what it'll say since I linked it with my Facebook).

Looking forward to getting to know you :)

Just added you on goodreads. I don't have a lot of books there yet. I have about 20 reviews I need to upload next week. I look forward to getting to know you too :)

I just read your bio. Congrats on your beautiful children. I'm currently still on the first book of the Game of Thrones of series, but I love it. Thank you for the add and I look forward to getting to know you better :)

I'm a banker, so figured I'd add ya!

[identity profile] fairwells.livejournal.com 2013-08-05 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the add. I added you back. I'm not a banker yet, but I did study a lot of banking courses in college. I'm trying to break into the industry now. I look forward to getting to know you :)

Oh, good luck! I've been in banking for 10 years now. :)

I have several contacts here in NYC that are helping me out. Too bad you're in Canada or else I'd network with you :)

Different country, probably makes it tough!

Re: Looking for friends

[identity profile] fairwells.livejournal.com 2013-08-05 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yah, unfortunately. And most likely different banking rules and regulations. But I look forward to learning about Banking in Canada from you :)
