Welcome!

[ravensword]

So...you've come wandering my way ...and you think you're ready for the ride?



My friending policy is pretty simple. If you friend me, and I don't know you...whether from comments left in my journals or from common communities, etc...I won't friend back immediately.

I will visit your journal and check out your interests and such...maybe drop some comments on existing entries...and I'll expect you to do the same,...so that we can get to know one another, see? I'm a friendly sort, but I've had...experiences...and I am a lotmore protective than I once was.

If I come to your journal and find out I'm the only friend you have, I'm gonna get a little weirded out. And yes, it's happened. More than once.

If you're a regular commenter on any of my journals, or we encountered one another in person somewhere...expect I'll friend you back right quick...if I didn't get to you first.

If I do not friend you, please do not be offended. You are welcome to follow and comment on my public posts, whatever they may be. I've had enough bad experiences with people who clearly had access to my personal life to be more cautious.



Okay...that's out of the way. What's next?



For the most part I'm a pretty laid back person. But I am opinionated. I'm just usually of the opinion that my opinions are mine and feel no need to force any one to agree with them. Sometimes I rant here in this journal. Not often. But it happens. Push button issues: Food, Fat, religion, willful ignorance, personal responsibility.




I've been told my cussing can make a sailor blush. I doubt the veracity of that statement...but...I'll leave it to you to decide. I do cuss. I say shit, and damn, and hell and fuck. Yes. I like the word fuck. It's a very expressive word. You will see it from time to time here in this journal.

Also, I talk about stuff many people won't...the human body, sex, periods, blood, medical procedures...I draw the line at talking about my toilet habits and experiences...because we all have to have limits to how much we're willing to share in an online space, you know?



I have a sex filter that I almost never use. However I do talk about sex. I talk about being horny. I talk about getting laid. I talk about alternative sexual practices. I am bi-sexual and will talk about my sexual attractions to both genders. I am also polyamorous, so don't expect to hear stuff about my one true love or anything. Not happening.

I am also interested in BDSM and such, and I talk about it...about my reasons, about things that turn me on...sometimes just stuff I see or hear about. I do label and I do cut...so no one should ever have a need to read anything they don't want to...even if I don't filter.





How about the details of me?

I was born in 1968, in Jacksonville, Fla. My daddy was in the navy.

Lived in Upstate, NY from 3 to 18, then Precott, AZ for 4 months before moving to El Paso, where I lived until Dec 2000. Then we came to California. Northern California in the great San Fransico Bay Area.

I'm >40...I am mostly okay with that number. Largely because I like who I am.

5'2"-ish, with pale, freckled Irish skin and green eyes. My natural hair color has not been seen since I was 16. It is generally some shade of red...here lately it's been black with red or green streaks....and it has been known to suddenly become black or brown or blond. I'm thinking the streaks will go green soon.

Oh...yeah. I'm fat. Rotund. Obese. I'm somewhere around 260 pounds. No, I don't want weight loss tips. I know how to eat well and most of the time I do...but this is who I am. And I make no attempt to hide or disguise that. I am a fat, sexual, horny beast of a woman.

This is me...from a photo shoot for a fetish fundraiser...


I live alone in Northern California, and I make a decent wage at my job, more so now than ever before. Which doesn't mean I don't spend my money poorly. I do. I admit that I do. But I talk about money and not having money. I talk about saving pennies to travel. I love to travel.





1) Oh...that...yes, my given name is Natalie. My Pagan name is Amara. Amara has been my online moniker for nearly as long as I've been online. I answer to both, and often don't know how to introduce myself and let the people I am with do it for me. This new name is going to take some getting used to.

3) I am obsessed with Jeffery Dean Morgan. Of course, you'll know this if you read nearly anything in this journal. And Kane. Love me them Kane boys. And music of all kinds. Much of my travel has to do with music.

4) Despite all appearances to the contrary, I have moments where I am very, very insecure.

5) I despise people who are false, who are two-faced and use my friendship to hurt me at some point. If you're coming here under false pretenses, just use the door now.



Okay...that's enough for now I think. Talk to me...tell me about you. I'm leaving this at the top of my journal for a while...so folks can see it as they wander in.

Welcome to the crazy...

Hi ya! And welcome. It is always a pleasure to meet other Pagans...and I'm beginning to have so many Australian friends I feel like I should move there!

Glad you poked your nose in and said Hi. Feel free to speak up at any time...that's how we get to know one another round here!

[willa-writes.livejournal.com]

I wandered this way after reading a story that I really enjoyed and wow, I like your style. Especially when it comes to being unashamed about weight. At a rough eyeball it looks like I'm about the same size as that pic and I'd like to get to know someone who's upfront and non-apologetic. It's refreshing. :-)

And hey, Winstories are always excellent.

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

Welcome!

It's taken me a long, long time to be comfortable, and sometimes I'm still not...but...it is who I am.

[deanbear25.livejournal.com]

I have been your fic in the SPN fandom for sometime and thought it would be interesting to get to know the person behind the stories.

I find your writing style to be unique and love that you are willing to write things that tend to make people squee with apology.

I can be a very closed person myself and find it refreshing to get to know people that are very open in hopes to one day be able to be as comfortable in my skin.

I have friended you and look forward to getting to know you and sharing comments.

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the madness!

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I've been very caught up in the Sweet Charity madness and the writing stuff...and I'd forgotten that someone replied to this post again.

So...hi! *waves*...Make yourself to home. There's cookies on the table and cocoa on the stove, coffee in the pot, lemonade...oh, um...looks like someone drank the lemonade.

Hey Girl! I've seen you commenting on Katy's journal and when she announced that both of us qualified for Amazon's contest with her, I thought I'd come over here and say congratulations!!

I'll browse through your journal as I have time and comment here as well. I love to get to know other serious writers! You can check me out at www.cjredwine.blogspot.com - there's a link from my lj.

Congratulations again. I can't wait to read what you submitted!

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

Greetings! I've seen Katy bandy your name about and have always meant to come a-looking.

Congratulations to you as well.

And welcome to the madness. I look forward to getting to know you.

Hello, darling! We met in a friending meme - and as I am not very smart, I only JUST NOW decided to wander over to this page and have a look-see... Yes... I am not that bright, lol!

BTW, I read the above, and let me say this - I love you! This was funny, refreshing, honest and witty! Thank you so much! I was entertained, informed and told the way it is all in one breath!

*Saves*

*hugs you*

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you found it funny and refreshing and honest and witty!

That's exactly what I was aiming for!

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Well, you succeeded, dear!!

*Laughs*

*hugs*

[angieobsessed.livejournal.com]

Okay so I already left a comment on your ficjournal. you might be a little freaked out because I read the whole stroy in two or three days but that's just me. If I like something that I read I tend to finish it as fast as I can. I'd like to be your friend and well there isn't much about me there is to know. I'm 20, I'm from Austria and I'm a college student. My main intersts are Superantural and other stuff you can see at my profile. I'm honest, I'm commenting as often as I can- at least I try and I might be whining from time to time. I had a shitty life and that's that the way it is. I wrote my first fanfiction some time ago and posted the first chapter this week at padacklesrps if you are interested. If you are interested in a friendship just friend me. If you want to know more about me feel free to ask. I hope we get a chance to get to know each other.

Hey there! I just started reading your stuff and mosied on over here wanting to say hi!

My name is Katie and I live in Jacksonville, FL (I was born here too, but I've only lived here now since August...lived in Gainesville before that). I'm a 28 year old undergrad student (I'm on the eleven-year plan) and I've recently become obsessed with SPN and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He's just so pretty!

I'm also a very big fan of sex (although haven't been having the chance to exercise that love recently...sigh) and I am also bisexual. I do have a sex filter on my LJ but don't use it too often, mostly because I don't care...but also because I've just been slow on that lately.

I am also very outspoken about politics and social issues. I don't mind if people disagree with me, but if we are gonna actually have a conversation about it, I'd appreciate a conversation rather than just insults. That said...sometimes I do spend sometime insulting people who disagree with me, but not in conversation and NEVER about anyone on my flist. (Nobody is mean to anyone on my flist! I'll kick 'em if they are.) But I will talk rudely about some people who are in the government. I figure it's my journal and I can make statements like that if I want, just as I won't take offense if it is a statement in someone's journal. But I figure if we're gonna talk about it, we should talk.

Wow...that is a lot of rambling on this comment. How about I just friend you and then you can come on over to my journal for a visit if you want to and decide from there?

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

Hi there! And welcome to the crazy!

Well, it isn't always crazy, but sometimes it can be.

Any fan of JDM is a friend of mine. That man just makes me....guh...all over the place! I can sit and stare at pictures of him forever!

Settle in, feel free to jump in and comment, have some coffee.

I just got my bachelor's degree two years ago, so I know how long that whole college thing can take.

I'll swing by your place soon!

I have come a'stumbling, yo ho ho

[styggian-nights.livejournal.com]

Hello fellow b-netter of old! I thought I would say hello. It is Tayrah (oh geeze, what other names did I go by back then?) Seekerwrit? Eventually Dafadddu... I'm on a perm journal now so I shouldn't go skipping into oblivion again.

So, hi, how are you, and would you mind me adding you again?

Re: I have come a'stumbling, yo ho ho

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

Wow! It's a blast from the past!

You know, I was thinking about you about two weeks ago...wondering where you'd wandered off too.

Please do to be adding. I shall also.

Re: I have come a'stumbling, yo ho ho

[styggian-nights.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!

Re: I have come a'stumbling, yo ho ho

[styggian-nights.livejournal.com]

And a ton has happened since we last talked ages ago. I am in Wisconsin as of October of 2007 and am dealing with some things which you'll stumble across as it is usually only a mere few days before I babble all over my journal again.

Still a few of you guys I haven't stumbled across yet, but I looked up Jeff and Belle a couple months ago. I am slowly finding out what all I've missed in the meantime.

Re: I have come a'stumbling, yo ho ho

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

I did run through your user info and a few of your posts, so I got the high view.

Not sure who all you might be looking for, but I may know the wheres for some. I'm still kind of in touch with B-Net.

I'm glad you found me!

But now, alas, I must to bed. The alarm goes off at 3:30...and that's just too darn early!

[ulysses3-de.livejournal.com]

Hey you,

I think I've been lurking on your LJ for some time now, but comment quite often on your story journal.
I just wanted to tell you, that you're one of the people on LJ that I feel connected to.
I finally found the strength to ask if I can friend you, I would love to and hope that's ok. I tend to do it very seldom, because I think it's something you should only do if you really mean it and not just for fun.

A bit about myself: My real name is Julia, but I think of myself as Ulysses. I live in Germany and am 26 (well will be in 3 weeks that is). I'm interested in all kinds of BDSM but only my boyfriend knows that in RL. I also count myself to be a Goth, although I tend to not exaggerate it most of the time (I don't think my Uni professors would know how to cope with it *g*).
Well, that's the basics, there's more but I tend to always forget about it.

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

Hi and welcome!

It's nice to "meet" you...thank you for commenting and inviting me to get to know you better.

Feel free to make yourself comfortable around here, comment and such. No one here will bite...much.

[faunaana.livejournal.com]

Okee-dookie - obviously I've been reading your fic for a little while now. And somehow I missed that you had a non-fic journal. How did that happen? So I found this, and have to say, I enjoy it :)

Which sounds, what, crazy stalker-ee, right? But you seem so lovely and your entries reflect a vibrant life. So if you don't mind, I'm going to friend you :)

Please don't feel the need to automatically friend me back - I just got my journal up and running - but I do have more than one friend LOL.

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

You do not sound like a stalker. Trust me on this!

I'm glad that my entries seem to give the impression I live vibrantly. I DO try.

Welcome to the crazy!

hi - are you no longer doing pagan prompt?

[persephone2006.livejournal.com]

Just curious, because some have been asking online and I referred them to your site.

Re: hi - are you no longer doing pagan prompt?

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

There hadn't been enough interest, so I kinda sluffed off.

If people were interested again, I'd be willing to give it another go.

Supernatural fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

Hi there Amara. Excuse me in advance if I'm out of line here. But I see that you're a big fan of Supernatural slash fanfictions. Now, I started writing these in the last few months and to be honest I'd like someone who likes the pair to read it and tell me if they're any good. What do you say ? If your answer is 'yes' send me an e-mail on su_marques@yahoo.com I'm just a girl standing in front of another girl asking her to judge her...ahuahauhauhauh...Hope to hear from you. Su.
