New Location, Same Purpose

[windemere]

Hello all (or few),

As it seems LJ is going to be persona non grata for the foreseeable future, I guess it's about time I migrated over here. Alas, it's been about a decade since I last used my Dreamwidth account, so it's been deleted. Oh well. It's about time for something new anyways.

Friend me if you'd like! And if I don't already know who you are, please tell me a bit about yourself.

A bit about me is that I write novels that will never get published, run a consultancy business in Canada, watch an awful lot of TV, and try not to eat too much chocolate (I usually fail at this).

Hi Windemere :) Any friend of Shirebound's is a friend of mine, and it looks like we have several of the same interests -- to wit, LOTR, fanfics, painting, astronomy, and even Firefly, so I am friending you :)

I am an artist and writer living a 'bush person's' life in the Pacific Northwest. I'm fairly new to journaling, so have been posting loads of my hobbit art both old and new :) I have another DW site too, free_to_dream. That site has my day-to-day stuff on it, and also my non-hobbit artwork. It's a bit pithier, while my wallace_trust site is geared to all ages.

BTW, I could not agree more with your entry, 'This needs to be spoken of.' We are living a nightmare down here in the US right now, and it is a comfort to find like-minded friends wherever they may be.

Any friend of Shirebound's indeed! :) Lovely to virtually meet you. You named all my favourite things.

Sounds delightful. I one day hope to devote myself full time to writing and art, but not quite yet. When I do I'll be finding a nice little quiet town somewhere near the mountains. I'm awfully fond of BC and think I'd love the Northwest too, but I've not yet been able to visit. I adore hiking, so Washington and Oregon are in my list!

We Canadians have arms wide open to like minded American neighbours. Solidarity is important right now, and I know there are many people south of this border who think like me. It's my daily comfort against the news!

Canada is my favorite country, and once I spent a wonderful long vacation on my aunt and uncle's ranch in Hope, B.C. I wish they hadn't sold it. And I wish my ancestors had never left Three Rivers. Oh well *sighs regretfully*

I am so glad most Canadians recognize that the majority of us down here didn't vote for the embarrassment that is the current administration. Thank you for your understanding!

I have similar regrets, although mine are Ontario related. :/

I and most Canadians actually read the poll numbers after the election. We're well aware how many people didn't want this and who *did* vote for it. I try to avoid those people. Canada had its own (more minor) embarrassing governement until recently, and as I used to live in England I am SUPER horrified by what is happening there. It doesn't help to know other countries have big issues, but it does help me to know that on the whole, reason and sanity seem to win in the end.
