Welcome to new people

To those who are new:

Welcome to my livejournal! If I haven't friended you yet, I'd deeply appreciate a comment telling me who you are and where we met so I can figure out who you are!

I mostly journal for the following reasons:

• to update my friends on my life
  
• looking for advice (these posts should be approached with caution apparently)
  
• to share something amusing I saw
  
• because I'm being introspective
  
• because I'm depressed
  

The latter two often go together, and alas the last one happens more often than I would like, but don't think I'm depressed all the time; I'm not. My life is actually going remarkably well right now. My hormones are just resettling themselves right now and its a bit of a rollercoaster.

I have a number of friends groups which you may or may not be added to already. Feel free to comment requesting to be added to one of them. Most requests will be honored. Posts to a particular group usually have that group name in the subject line.

• Overshare - One for those who are open minded about poly and kink and bdsm and not easily squicked; this one will sometimes include juicy tidbits from my love/sex life, but also sometimes things you may not have wanted to know about being a girl, or somesuch.
  
• Pagan - For those who are pagan, open minded and interested in paganism, or into the occult, or has a spirituality which is similar to pagan spirituality (ie. you choose not to take on the label but people keep on trying to give it to you, damn them)
  
• Writers - People who are into writing who can give advice or be sympathetic about the trials of being a writer
  
• Metaprogramming - this group is NOT open to everyone and content is strictly confidential. This is where I discuss the inner workings of my mind and try to work my issues out. OK, so I do some of that on my main friends list too. But this is where I post about the underlying mechanics of how I got my more deeply imprinted programming and what I'm doing to fix it. Email me if you're interested in this group and if I decide I'm comfortable with you in it, I may even add you. If you're not comfortable with drug use, this is not the group for you.
  
• SFBA - where I post social announcements and stuff particular to the SFBA folk.
  

So yeah. Introduce yourself or ask to be added to specific groups. I'll look forward to getting to know you all better!

MoonBase Folsom Base Warming Party -- SAVE THE DATE!

Well folks, we finally set a date.

Moonbase Folsom will be having its BASEWARMING PARTY on Saturday, August 23rd, starting sometime around 3 or 4 p.m. and going until we all drop from exhaustion. It's starting so early because we have three different sets of friends and not that huge an apartment, so feel free to drop in for a short period of time.

So please save that date, and we will look forward to seeing you all! More details will follow in a formal announcement.

If you want to be on my social list (and thus on the house's social list) to hear about this and other events, please email me at questioner at lj dot com (expand lj, of course).

Yay email!

E-mail is up and working again, slowly but surely. It is slowly filtering into my inbox, so it might still take an hour or even a day or two to get email to me, but it will get to me.

Many thanks to digitalsidhe and feyandstrange for all their hard work through this. You guys rock.

Killed another mousie. That's 3 since I invested in new mouse traps. Yay!
