I'm Here

[howdidufindmehere]

Ok, so I am a late entry here.... found myself missing Live Journal and needing a place where I felt I could safely vent. Trying to find friends and find my way here.

I am having a week that has been making me kinda sad and I don't like it. A friend died of cancer - she and I were not even all that tight, but it has been hitting me hard and I am out of sorts. I also received an unbelievably disappointing royalty check from my publisher, was rejected by a different publisher, and now I am kind of questioning my existence. A sweet student gave me a beautiful hand drawn sympathy card and I ugly cried in my office.

So yeah. This is my first post.

Hi there, I saw your addme entry and browsed a little and I find your writing really engaging and enjoyable, so I subscribed. No need to subscribe back or anything, no pressure at all at this time. My journal is relatively locked down and only a handful of people have access because i vent highly, highly personal inner thoughts in a stream of consciousness style that most people can't digest. when i write something digestible and appropriate, I leave it public, which is averaging maaaaybe 1x per week? i journal compulsively sometimes multiple times a day but honestly don't want to subject too many people to my internal petty dramas lol. so anyway I'm just gunna hang out and lurk if that's okay, if you *really* want access lmk. I am about to turn 48, and have been through a lot of crap, i consider myself non-religious but am a bit pagan-leaning but more faery than wicca, but have many friends who are witches. i worship nature if anything. i am a faery by profession (this mostly involves tying sparkly things into people's hair called "fairy hair"), and am married and polyromantic. :) I had hip dysplasia and a reconstruction in my late 20s which makes me worried for your poor lil hip. if it continues to bother you for long, you might have to get a scan to check for a torn labrum. it can be fixed but boy is it painful (mine never tore but was severely inflamed and wow I don't know how people even walk with a tear).

Hello! Welcome, thank you! I always subscribe back, can't help it. I would love to tie sparkly things in my hair, maybe I will over the summer.

I am about to post about my hip - it is doing much better today!
