I'm no stranger to LJ, but I've recently resumed being actively involved here after quite some time away. Many of my old LJ friends have moved on to bigger and more mediocre arenas (namely Facebook), so I'm currently open to finding new blogs to read and comment upon. For the most part, I am always interested and willing to converse (and become friends) with individuals from a variety of locations and backgrounds, and I'm not the type of person who acts like they're doing someone a huge favour by adding them as a friend (it's a damn website, for crying out loud!).
Anyway, this is me (condensed into a reasonably-sized blog entry)...
1. I currently live in Little Rock, Arkansas, but I was born and raised in Las Vegas (Nevada, not New Mexico). I've also lived in Denver, and have spent multiple periods of time in Los Angeles and New York City. I have no intention of staying in Arkansas forever...
2. I am a stripper (I avoid the term exotic dancer, as it implies that my performances essentially consist of me dancing, which they don't), and I've owned and operated my own agency of male and female adult entertainers for over 5 years now. I thoroughly enjoy being in this industry as both a performer and an entrepreneur, as the unregulated and off-the-grid nature (as long as we're not dealing in illicit drug trade, and paying our taxes, we're pretty much left alone by the powers that be) of the business affords me the luxury of being exceptionally creative and original in my business strategies. Although I have more conventional workplace experience (particularly as a high-end retail sales manager), I find working within the confines of such rigid protocols to be incredibly stifling and boring; and I have zero tolerance for workplace drama and politics. It's also my prerogative to never again wear a polo shirt, or a pair of khaki slacks.
3. Speaking of politics: I don't spend much time discussing them, and the same goes for religion. My opinions on both subjects are strongly along the lines of those once championed by the late Ayn Rand. I honestly don't care what anyone else does or believes, as long those beliefs don't a) cramp my personal style, or b) impede upon my ability to earn as much money as I so desire.
4. I blog often about my professional exploits, but not necessarily for the sake of promoting my business (I have other blogs and social networking profiles specifically for that purpose); rather, the business related entries in my personal blog are from a "behind the scenes" point of view, and are intended for amusement and entertainment in their own right. Yes, I indeed have (often humourous) stories and anecdotes to share from my years of experience in this industry.
5. I have artistic pursuits, including music, filmmaking, and photography. Although I have a wide-range of musical tastes, I largely gravitate towards artist who are mostly older, and mostly British (Roxy Music, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Japan, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, etc...). As for cinema, I watch a lot of art-house and foreign language fare; and I've never seen Titanic.
6. For the record, I am 100% heterosexual, and I tend to get along better with women than men in platonic scenarios; although there are occasional exceptions to that rule. I have absolutely zero interest in ever getting married, or being anyone's father.
7. I am not interested in meeting anyone under 18 years of age.
8. For all you fellow MBTI-philes out there, I am an ENTJ.
9. Despite the fact that I tend to come off as a total hard-ass (mainly because I am a total hard-ass), I have a prominent sense of humour based largely upon sarcasm, puns, and non-sequiturs ("can you break a twenty?"); and I am definitely interested in conversing with individuals who possess these qualities. Scatological humour, however, is a comedic genre to which I never subscribe.
10. If you haven't noticed by now, I tend to use the British spellings for various words in the English language. I think that, subconsciously, I may get a kick out of leading people to believe I'm European.
11. I have a Facebook profile, but I hate the website, and I'd rather post a detailed blog regarding a fully developed idea as opposed to an endless barrage of painfully mundane status update (e.g. "Stefan is going to Auto Zone to buy an air filter."). Typically, the only status updates I post there (and on MySpace and Twitter, for that matter) are automated updates for new blog entries.
12. Although I managed to tone it down fairly well in this blog entry, I am prone to regular and consistent use of the word "fuck", its multiple variations, and other prime examples of blue language. I am by no means the definition of the term "politically correct".
13. I apologize for nothing, and neither should you.

i'm an almost-23-year-old student in Montréal, Canada. the best way to see if you wanna friend me is probably to go look at my journal yourself. i don't wanna get too long-winded here.
if you post entries in french, that's great, because i need to improve mine. if you're from brasil, bonus points, since i'm looking at volunteering at an orphanage there in the next few years and need to pick up portuguese. i'd also like lj friends who live in interesting areas and post lots of pictures. i'm very visually-oriented.

Hey, everyone!
Let's get right to it, then. I'm 19 years old and female. I'm a community college student majoring in Liberal Arts, but plan on double majoring in Criminal Justice and Sociology once I transfer to a four year. I'm currently entertaining the idea of being a cop.
I live with my mother and sister in South Eastern Virginia, and probably will forever and ever since I more or less take care of them.
I most post entries about my daily life or responses to blog prompts. It's calming for me, but it can be a bit irregular. Like, I don't always post every day or every week. It just depends on what I've got going on.
I comment when I can, and appreciate comments so that maybe we can become proper friends, but don't require them.
Add me and I'll add you back. Toodles. |

but i'm back! i am very, very sorry i've been a bad owner/moderator. with everything going on on different sites, etc. i've just sometimes forget. it's in no way an excuse but just a reason for why i've been a bad moderator.
but this stops now. there will be a list of rules in effect starting today. anyone, and i do mean anyone breaking these rules will be banned. there is no exceptions. we're all adults (i'm guessing) and you know right from wrong. if you don't, then seek help. so let's begin the rules, shall we!
1) no spamming: i don't care how proud you are of your new community or these new weight loss drugs or viagra or whatever, it won't be posted in my community. the community is ADD ME, not add my community or buy these products. if i see any of this, the ban hammer will come down.
2) no trolling: if you really have nothing better to do in your life but troll a community, then i'm very sad for you. go take that elsewhere. again, will be banned.
3) no bullies: there will be no making fun of other people or bullying. this is serious. i see any of that, well, you know the drill by now. banned. it's okay to have a difference of opinion but like your mother always said, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
those are the 3 rules for now. if i see anything else, believe me, it will be posted and you will be banned. i have the right to change or update these rules at any time with no notice. just follow the name of the community and you'll be fine. the community is to make friends. if you're here for anything else, either leave or you will be banned.
thanks and drive thru! |

Macaw, 25, a copywriter, live in Ukraine, in a beautiful place Crimea, Sevastopol city.
Two times I've dropped my English journal, but now I hope to post regularly. I'm horribly internet-addict and now try to manage my time in a better way. Think I'll write much about it...
One of the reasons for making this LJ is the wish to improve my English skills, so comments are always welcome!
I'll post many photos of Crimea and Sevastopol and many other pics. A bit more about me you can learn from my profile.
I like sitting in the net:)) going out with my friends, reading, cooking, shopping, sleeping.
Music: depends on my mood. Now I love Serbian singer Ceca, also I listen Rammstein, techno, some things of Madonna, like live concerts of classical music.
TV: almost don't watch. Yep, I even haven't seen the "House":)
Hobbies: now - making renovation in my flat ^_^
Parrots I find to be the best creatures in the world! (have none at that moment but plan to take)
Sometimes I write short stories (though, in Russian) and dream one moment I could be not so lazy to start a book:)
I speak German either so you can practice if you want. |

Hi I'm Daphne! I'm an art student at a university in New Jersey. I like to post my daily happenings as well as my art and pictures. I love to read, comment and keep up with livejournal friends! It's been about 2 years since I've been on livejournal, so I just signed up again and plan on posting at least twice a week if not everyday. I love music in general, as well as spending time on deviantart finding new great artists. Friend me especially if you are a college student! |

I'm looking for friends who are interesting and aren't just looking to up their friends list. I like metal, fantasy, videogames, history and linguistics. I'm currently learning German and French, but I have quite a few other languages I want to learn. I'm very open-minded to anyone and I read and comment often. :) |

Hi! My name is Jen, though I'll respond to pretty much anything besides Jenny. Call me Jenny and it's on! -grin-
Hmm, what to say here? By day I work in admissions at a Big 10 university, while at night I am a mild mannered report-- er, no, that's not right. By night I write stories about life and living it and sometimes I even get paid to slap a few words on the page. How about that?
This year I am participating in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) therealljidol. If you're interested, these are a few of my favorite entries:
sunday in coopersmith
Cracked Up [May be triggering to past cutters]
A Practical Guide to Impractical Love
Other than scribbling things into the margin of textbooks, I tend to live like I'm thirty five going on seventeen. I have an incredible husband, an incredible girlfriend, I have a really fantastic group of friends I hang out with, and I tend to go about 27 hours a day. I'm always interested in meeting new people though, especially on LJ, so let's give it a try? |

I use my LJ to write random short-stories.
Occasionally, I write about my life.
Maybe we'll become friends. |

I'm Samantha but most call me Sam.
I live in Canada.
Turning 19 soon.
I have many aspects to my personality which I believe lets me get along with anyone from the chain smoker to the religious believer. But I don't think a friendship would last very long if someone were an extreme of either simply because I value people no matter what side of the coin. I have a very open mind.
To see a picture, you can view my journal and my banner is actually me.
I write plays mainly. I have fun with words. I like to goof around. I watch HBO but then I'll watch Gossip Girl. I'll be kind but it doesn't mean I don't swear if something is bugging me.
To get an idea: I like Children of Men, Chuck Palahniuk and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
And dropping the bomb last minute- I'm bisexaul so if that makes you uncomfortable then don't add me. But I am friends with people who don't agree but it doesn't mean our friendship isn't worthwhile. There will be boy talk for now because there is someone.
So comment if you'd like to add me. :) |

My name is Jen I
go to college. I'm a fiction writing major and that is what I enjoy doing, writing.
I listen to garage rock such as The Libertines, The Mummies, The Von Bondies, and what have you.
I like movies, I like the strange movies that cause you to think more afterwards than you did while watching it.
I live in the city in a shit apartment with three other room mates, it's beautifully atrocious.
I love to read even though lately, I've had close to no time to do so.
I party but I guess at the ripe age of 18, who doesn't?
I don't lie and I enjoy an intelligent argument.
I have a lot of ideas and a lot of opinions and some times I seem head strong but in all honestly, I am extremely sweet.
I want to move to England some day
I speak fluent French
Hahha I like to have a good time.
I don't take much seriously and chances are, I am joking about 100 % of the time.
Get to know me, I love good conversation |
