What do you like to read about on your friends page?: People's lives, cool things happening in the world
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: I'll friend you back. If you unfriend me, I'll unfriend you.

Anything else? Please know that I am proud of being Black and my journal veers into politics, social justice, equity, and environmental issues at times because these are the things that matter to me and in my life.

Looks like we have some things in common, such as reading / books / literature and politics. While I don't scuba dive, I do love the beach and ocean (always so soothing).

would you like to add each other to our access and subscription circles?

Thank you and best wishes.

[brittdreams]

Adding you back!

[brittdreams]

Adding!

[earthspirits]

Thank you! And just added you back. : )

Hello, we share some interests and dislikes. :) I’d love to get to know you! I’ve added you so that you can read my intro if you want. :)

[brittdreams]

Added you back!

[ethereal_waves]

Thank you. I have an intro post sticky on my page. Look forward to getting to know you. :)

[brittdreams]

Looking forward to getting to know you too!

[tardive]

Two of my favorite people from LJ. I'm excited you're getting to know each other as well.

[brittdreams]

Awww, yay!

[yellowrosess]

I'm also looking for active friends on here. And I do comment/read. Want to be friends?

[brittdreams]

Sounds good to me!

[einhornmaedchen]

I would love to be friends for the politics, social justice and environmentalism alone. Also love reading. Want to give it a try?

[brittdreams]

Sounds good to me! Adding you now.

[einhornmaedchen]

Yay! Added you back :)

[oracne]

Also a Romance reader!

[brittdreams]

Add one another?

[oracne]

Added!

[inchoatewords]

I enjoy the baking championships, too, even though I don't get cable anymore. Not really into sports, but I don't mind people talking about it. I also really love to read, and trying to read more widely, as well.

We have the same dislikes, as well, so you wouldn't have to worry about reading any of that on my DW! Would you like to be friends?

I intend to write up a new About Me for my new DW, but for now, a little bit about me is here

[brittdreams]

Thanks for the link. Sounds like we'd get along. Adding you.
