About my friend’s list, commenting, and filters:
I appreciate a comment intro when friending me, but anyone is welcome to friend me and read my public entries.
I don't always add back and do weed my list down on occasion. Due to health issues, I can't always reliably keep up with a large list and so try to keep it somewhat compact. OTOH, when able, I enjoy reading lots of journals, so like to keep my list varied and interesting.
I post mostly publicly. Filter groups I have are based on trust levels and only get used for very very personal things.
I don't allow anonymous comments so as to cut back on spam and harassment, but check out openid to comment if you don’t have an LJ.
Again, due to health issues, I tend to be bad about responding to comments, although I do try my best to comment to posts as I read. But it could take weeks or even months for me to get back to comments at times, so please don't take it personally.
Journal content:
When health is good, I talk about politics, philosophy, theology, television, books, movies, food, and the daily random babble of my life.
When health is not good, I talk a lot about my health and a little about those other things.
When health is bad, I'm gone for long periods of time and come back with either short "still alive" messages or long summaries of the time passed.
I am a grown up and do sometimes use grown up language or talk about grown up subjects.
I will almost always use cut-tags for subjects generally considered triggery, spoilers for fandom stuff, TMI-related health content, and extremely long posts – whether they are personal in nature or a silly meme.
People I'm prone to talking about without explaining who they are every time:
Cleo is my cat. She's often called "the monkey", "the baby", "the kitty", or any handful of cute nicknames with those keywords in them.
Angie (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
taeli) is my good friend and current roommate.
Dave (symbioid) is my recent ex and current roommate.
My mom isrunningamok, which I just find fun to say.
The steps are my collective name for the family she married into.
Bro, sil, and niecey is usually how I briefly speak of my, erm, brother, sister-in-law (fairmaiden76), and niece.
The ma'amers are the name of my three closest friends from high school and myself. Included in that group are Michelle (often called Michelley, the bestest friend, or just "the bestest"), Carrie, and Jill.
Shayla,naiadea, is a local friend.
Labels and terms and descriptions that apply to me:
Health - my illnesses don't define me, but they unfortunately affect my life in very large ways:
Fairly homebound. Chronically ill. Invisibly ill. Fibromyalgia and related issues.
PTSD. OCD. Depression.
Survivor of sexual abuse.
Politics:
Liberal, progressive, green, pacifist, environmentalist, animal rights advocate, egalitarian, feminist, working on being a better anti-racist ally, disability rights advocate, queer and trans rights advocate, all around human/civil rights advocate, sex positive, body acceptance advocate, striving towards responsible consumerism, and all around general socialist.
Spirituality and philosophy:
Mystic, Agnostic, Unitarian Universalist, ethical hedonist, hopeless optimist, eternal questioner, influenced by various spiritual paths - most heavily by Christianity, numerous forms of Paganism, and Hinduism.
Sexuality:
Gender queer, pansexual, polyamorous.
Loves:
Foodie. Vegetarian. Going vegan. CSA and food co-op member. Beginner container gardener.
Obsessive TV geek. Movie lover. Reader of books both fictional and non. Occasional play goer. Sometime music listener. Player of The Sims. Mosaicer. Colorer. Writer/poet. Studier of Ancient Greek.
Favorite story genres include: Sci-fi/fantasy, teen and family dramas, historical fiction, retellings of classics and fairy tales, soap operas, quirky comedies, dark comedies, musicals, Shakespeare, spy/crime/criminal dramas, mystery and horror, action/adventure, legal dramas, medical dramas, and the occasional reality show.
