Interests and Hobbies Giant robots, superheroes, comic books, human-scaled robots, the interaction of fiction and reality, magic, SCIENCE!, nanobots, movies, music
What do I write about in my LJ? Bits of fiction, some of which are based on an ongoing universe in my head, rants about how my brain works that day, marginally coherent reviews of pop-cultural phenomena a few months after the thing in question happens and the occasional bit of youtube video spam.

Favorite food Spaghetti bolognese.
Anything else I'm generally crap about commenting but very good about reading. I hope to change the first part of that last sentence.

Location Ohio
Interests and Hobbies Tech, cooking, gaming, storytelling, assorted nerdy things, ice hockey, books & reading, grad school, music, and stuff I haven't thought of yet but probably will when I comment.
What do I write about in my LJ? Recently, it's been a lot of work related stuff. But I also write about books I'm reading, games I'm playing things that happened in my day that was interesting, and other technogeek stuff. Occasionally I like to post something I learned that was really interesting.
Types of friends I am looking for! Interesting people who write interesting things? That's about all I can think of. I'm not overly concerned with rate of friend comments, or number of pithy discussions, or whatever.
Favorite food AHAHA, what isn't? I am a foodie, so I like just about everything. I'm a Team Baked Goods denizen, too.
Anything else I'm trying to update my journal layout, comment here, make dinner, and prevent the dogs from chewing on the rug. So I tend to multitask a lot.

Date: 2010-11-19 11:07 pm (UTC)Age 45 (physically)
Location Indianapolis (or close to it)
Interests and Hobbies Sci-fi/fantasy fandom, writing, reading, music, photography, sports (but more watching than doing), cooking and general foodiness, and stuff like I'm doing right now =)
What do I write about in my LJ? Life, the universe, everything. Though I don't do it as often these days. Still, I like this format and freedom to write in more detail than I get in the Facebook update. And if nothing else, I'll wish my LJ friends happy birthday.
Types of friends I am looking for! I don't have a "type" though the more honest and less troll-ly you are, the better. I have people of various political leanings, religions, lifestyles, self-identities, partner preferences, etc. and from various countries in my f-lists. Don't expect me to always assume you are right, as I don't insist you always agree with me. And speaking English is a plus. I have no idea what those random Russians who friend me are saying.
Favorite food Too many to note. I love pizza and thai food and good burgers and a nicely-cooked wing of skate, but wouldn't want any one food every day. Far easier to list ones I *don't* like (such as broccoli or liver).
Anything else I'm always uncomfortable with self-disclosing, because I know that once the floodgates open, I'm pretty sure I've rambled on too much. (See above -- it's like I'm alergic to short answers) Still, you follow my LJ long enough, you get a pretty good idea of who I am and what I'm up to.
P.S. The icon is a picture of me. My default pic is a lemur.
P.P.S. I have a hat.

Interests and Hobbies Writing, RPing (Tabletop, LJ & AIM), sailing, geocaching, reading. Watching entire seasons of sci-fi shows through Netflix in a single bound.
What do I write about in my LJ? Daily minutia, mostly. A lot of dreams. A lot about sailing. I hope to sail around the world in the near future.
Types of friends I am looking for! People who like to ask questions, honestly. I love the dialogues that open up. (Especially when people ask about sailing.)
Favorite food Chicken and bacon pizza with white sauce, lately. Also yellow curry and breaded chicken.
Anything else I'm cool with anyone friending me, but if your journal's full of embedded youtube videos or fanfic, I'm less likely to friend you back. :(

What do I write about in my LJ? All of the above, as well as whatever else happens in the little moments that make up my life. And I have lots of conversations with my imaginary friends. And I whine and boast and cry and cheer and say "fuck" a lot. I quote random movies and songs and TV shows. It's entertainingly irrelevant.
Types of friends I am looking for! Interesting people. Smart people. People in other countries, too!
Favorite food Depends on my mood. Sushi, coney dogs and orangey soda are always appreciated. And pie. PIE.
Anything else A cat has just crawled into my lap. His name is Mushroom. He seems to be thinking deeply, but he is probably not, because his brain is the size of a pecan and he's kind of dumb besides. But I love him very much.

Favorite food Peanut butter. I'm an addict.
Anything else Anyone is welcome to add me. Though I do write a lot of day to day stuff, so if that's not your thing, I might bore you. I try to be funny or entertaining, but not so sure how that works out...my sense of humor is rather odd. I have special filters, one is a "disordered eating" filter, the other is an adult themed one that shares NSFW stuff.
And I love to talk A LOT.

Location Sweden
Interests and Hobbies
Death/thrash metal music, writing, books, movies, photography, history, comics, science, politics and stuff. Yes, stuff.
What do I write about in my LJ?
Mostly short stories, weird sciencey/history rants about various subjects. Posting pictures of awesome things, like old churches or weird bugs or rust. Gotta love rust. Also sometimes posts some illustrations, or a new chapter of my ongoing supervillain writing exercise that I write when I can't write anything I might actually get paid for.
Types of friends I am looking for!
Hard to say, I'm not picky. I don't demand that people comment or I will defriend them, because I seldom has the time to comment much myself. I do however read mostly everything. I'm also not the person who hides everything behind an LJ cut (except lots of images), because I like being exposed to reading things I would never have read otherwise. In my hurry I might not click a cut, but a long rant might catch my interest. If not, that's what the scroll button is for. I guess what makes me enjoy reading the friends I do have is one or more of the following:
OMG, awesome language, writes poetry or cool stories.
People that do interesting things/live in interesting places and tell of their experiences.
Activists of the political/environmental area.
People who read, review, analyze and talk about movies, books and comics.
I'm generally not that interested in talk about children, family, awful friends or religion, unless I actually do know that person very well. I'm more of an information junkie than a loves reading about personal stuff junkie.
Favorite food
Ice cream and cake.
Anything else
I'm atheistic, leftist, humanist, environmentalist, bisexual and so on, but not standing on a soap box about it.
