Don't worry, you are already on the list. I made sure everyone who has me on *their* friends list is now on *my* friends list so they can go on reading, since they've already shown an interest.

It's me!

I, Kevin P, have signed up for a journal of my own just so I can keep reading yours. So, if you will, please add me to your friends list so I may continue to partake.

Privacy

I hope that if you continue writing about me you at least change my name. I have not given you permission to use any of my personal details in a public arena - which is in breach of the privacy act - and I have not appreciated what I have read.

Re: Privacy

I'm sorry you were annoyed. I will probably not write any more about you in any case; I don't expect to have any more contact with you so there will be nothing to say. I am sorry, also, that things turned out as they did. I would have liked to stay friends.

Hello, you have no idea who I am, but I'd like to be on your friends list. The thing is, I've been keeping up on your journal for ages now. That sounds so terribly creepy, but it's all very innocent and good natured, I swear. I found it through your Escaflowne websites, back when they were still updated, and your blog lived at pitas.com. Which you must realize means I've been reading your blog for, oh, a couple of years now, at least. Which you must think is pretty strange, considering I'm a complete stranger. But your writing was funny and clever and good things like that. I would have introduced myself sooner, but there was no comment feature on the pitas blog, and by the time you switched to livejournal, I assumed an introduction would be rather awkward (as this is turning out to be), and might be interpreted as a sort of "Hello, I'm your internet stalker"...

Anyway, I'm sure none of this is convincing you to actually add me to your friends list. But it would be nice, in any case. I do enjoy your writing, and also I find I can relate to you (a sentence which I hope I phrased elegantly enough to not sound disturbing). This is probably why I continued to read your journal for so long. We share many tastes, and also I was noting your career choice and reasons for choosing it with interest, as I'm in sort of the same boat. You see, you chose teaching because you had no real alternative and weren't all that thrilled with it to start. I have also made the same choice, except I've made it right off the bat, as I'm only 18. I reviewed my options and looked at my skills (which were useless: art, reading, writing), and said, "Well, I guess there's nothing for it but to teach". I'm also less than enthused about it. I'm not a big fan of children and young adults, and I'm not a big fan of being in a position of authority, or of talking in front of more than four people at a time, when it comes right down to it. I drew a little encouragement from the fact that you seemed to be warming to the field...Anyway. I'll understand completely if you choose not to add me to your friends list. Having a complete stranger reading up on your life like it was a web comic must be a weird feeling at best... But then again this is a livejournal, and they're out there for people to read, right? I honestly have no idea of the etiquette here. Thanks, Aurora.

Actually, my life is a webcomic, it's just very poorly drawn and the actual image files are so tiny they are only visible to insects. The insects seem to like it. I get a lot of fanmail from bees. It mostly consists of transcribed butt-wiggling. Now I'm only showing off because you said you liked my writing and humour.
I'm happy to add you to the list. I'd also advise you not to resign yourself to teaching so early - go to university first and see what you find there. Take languages, look into work in foreign countries, get computer skills; get an apprenticeship and be a plumber, you can rake it in as a plumber, retire early and write novels! I would be a plumber except I hate touching cold wet slimy things. If you're really 'not a big fan of children and young adults,' don't go there, it will be a rotten experience for you and them. (Then again, your feelings may change as you get older. I am definitely a lot keener on children than I was a few years ago. Having some distance from them in age really helps.)
Rather than go directly into teacher training, anyway, I'd strongly advise you to get a degree in something else first (preferably something you like!). It will mean you can command a higher rate of pay as a teacher (at least it does in my country and I hope it does in others) and will be more desirable to your first-choice schools. It also gives you time to mature a little more, expand your horizons, review your options, and hang out in a quad wearing really silly clothes.

Hello! I'm like a ghost from the past, but hopefully you might remember me as the webmistress of the Esca sites Strategos, and some others.

Truth be told, I have trouble remembering what I was doing 4 years ago.

Rated R for sexual content...drop me an e-mail at yankeedog67@yahoo.com if you'd like to read it. My other new one is "Logan Shuts the Place Down"...

Thank you! Actually, we already know each other - I was briefly a member of AAC before I went off to the UK a couple of years ago. Do you remember we went to From Hell together and when Ian Holm appeared we were both, like, 'Corneli-oos!'?
Yeah, that was me. Don't tell anyone *^.^*

Hmmm...I think I would like to be added, but I'm not sure. I just liked your old Esca sites, and especially your style of writing. But I'm terrible at responding to journals I friend, so I had to delete quite a few before, and I don't like to do that. Do you think you could maybe give me an overview of what you do in your jourbal?

air_and_angels wrote:

I yak about my life and what I'm thinking, reading, viewing and doing. I post LJ icons I've made and links to sites I create (the Esca ones are dormant these days.) I don't mind if you don't give lots of responses.

I was wondering where you got the name "air and angels" from, because it is also the title of a famous metaphysical poem. Heh.

air_and_angels wrote:

Jun. 17th, 2005 01:55 am (UTC)

It's a long story! Yes, I did take the phrase from John Donne's poem. I used to have a layout up on my main domain, http://www.airandangels.com, featuring an angelic woman and the line 'air and angels' as textual decoration because it seemed to go with the image. A visitor thought it was the title of the site (which it wasn't, at the time) and told me she thought it was cool. I realised it *was* cool, albeit accidentally, and it's been the title ever since.

Hello there. I snuck over here after you posted on the DWJ community and I hope you don't mind if I add you to my friends list. My reasons for doing this are several-fold:

1. You're from New Zealand and that's pretty close to Australia, or was last time I looked. I love reading journals of people from the antipodes. All these people talking about Summer heat and going to the beach is just too depressing for words at the moment.

2. You've done an MA in English. I'm just about to finish a BA in Professional Writing (which I started ten years ago... longish story).

3. You care about English, grammar and probably puncuation - and so do I.

4. You're a teacher and I'm planning on becoming a teacher. I'd be fascinated to read about your experiences in that particular field.

I fully realise that I have probably terrified you beyond belief with this list of reasons, so I should stop now, although I have just thought of a fifth and final point.

5. Unless you're lying in your user info, you're only 363 days younger than me and I love reading the journals of people who are a similar age to me.

I shall leave you in peace now. :)
