Hi everyone!

I've been kind of bad with my LJ lately, not keeping up with the friends I have, but you guys seem so interesting, I felt like I had to jump in too :D

I'm Bec, or Rebecca (I've become quite used to my whole name, so either one is fine), and I'm 37, living with my partner of 16 years, Adam. We share a house with our four children, aged 6, 4, 2 and 11 months, and we have a dog, three cats, and a chook. Right now we live in Perth, Western Australia, but are currently trying to buy a house in a small city on the south coast. We put an offer in on a place there yesterday and I'm being all nonchalant and dismissive in real life but OH MY GOD I WANT IT SO BAD IT'S PERFECT FOR US PLEASE LET US HAVE IT.

*ahem*

In my previous life, I spent 10 years at university studying German, Philosophy and then falling into a teaching degree. I really love teaching. I hope to go back to it when the youngest child starts school fulltime. I teach high school students and despite what everyone says about teenagers being awful, I quite like them. So far, they've not thrown any chairs at me, so I guess they like me too!

While I'm at home, I'm trying to keep some semblance of self and sanity by writing a regular blog called path:ethic and also doing therealljidol which is a writing competition. I also have a novel/story which is simmering away and which I get to work on occasionally, but the jury's still out on whether I'll ever finish it :D I can always use my children as an excuse, at least for now.

I don't tend to post much about politics, but you should know I'm fairly left, even by Australian standards. I think it's important to always question your own opinions and prejudices, though, and I'm open to different points of view, and I'm always polite :) I am not religious, but I will absolutely respect (and discuss) your relationship with G/god if you have one.

Right now I'm not so good at commenting (see above where I talk about moving -- we need to sell the place we're in, too) but I try to post a couple of times a week and I try my best to get back to you if you comment on my posts! I don't mind where you're from or what you do, as long as you're friendly to me and others who like to visit my journal. My journal is probably about 70% public, so feel free to check it out, and my intro is here

although it probably just repeats what I've already written in this comment. What can I say? I like to make work for myself!

I'm glad you added me, because I totally would have added you too. We're the same age, have similar kids and menageries, politically left, my degree is actually in philosophy (which has done me far more good personally than professionally, of course), not religious.. a good fit, to sum it up! :)

Yay! I agree, I read your profile and thought, yes, I can see us getting along just fine :D

I'd love to add you if that's ok? :)

You sound awesome. OH WAIT YOU ARE AWESOME, that's why we're friends.

Aw, stop. You're making me blush :D
