I've been taking programming classes and have applied to a programming for non-programmers certificate at the university for which I work.

I think we have a lot in common: I'm a heavy reader, like learning languages, and have recently been debating pursuing programming classes. Oh, and I also hate racism, sexism, and homophobia. I'm subscribing to your journal.

[days_unfolding]

Added you back!

[forestofdreams]

As a (choral) singer myself, I'm curious about your piano and singing lessons (even though they are on hiatus). I'm also trying to learn German (via Duolingo). Mind if I add you?

[days_unfolding]

Sure! I've added you. And choral singing is what I am interested in!

[thenerdygirl]

Hi Adrienne, I'm Steph and I'm a library assistant at my local university library. I always like reading about the lives of other library folk and we have some similar interests like swimming and non-fiction books so I've added you :)

[days_unfolding]

I've added you as well!

[kyararose]

That's cool that your cat's send email! ;)

Adding!

[days_unfolding]

Added you!

For me, Italian is the language of love :D Also, if you'd like to practice German with a German native speaker (wait, that sounds icky - I mean, if you'd like to read German now and then on DW, or need a beta) I'm available.

(more about me here and here)

Hello, fellow librarian! I work in a law firm rather than public-facing, though. I also have cats and read during any down time I have. I enjoy reading about people's daily lives and that's mainly what I post about, as well. I'd like to add you, if that's okay. :-)

Hi, I’m subscribing to your journal.
I don’t read as much as I’d like to, but I do read whenever I get a quiet extended moment to myself! I like to read other people’s journals to see how life is like out there.

[days_unfolding]

Okay, welcome!

hi there! i feel like we have a lot of common interests, and i was wondering if i could friend you! i "grew up" in a library, if you will, as my mom spent her entire first career there. i also love photography and reading.
