Hi there! That’s so exciting about your upcoming trip to Paris! What shows are you seeing in London?

I love that you’re into Lego and are creative. Would you like to be friends?

[beckyonmars]

Hi- we were friends when I was yourtango- I just needed a fresh start with my journal following the death of my nan.

I will add you now :)

We are seeing aspects of love and we will rock you- both are my mum’s choices- I am hoping to be brave enough to travel to see shows solo soon :)

Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

>>Yes, creating miniatures/miniature worlds.<<

Oh, that sounds interesting. Could there be pictures?

>>I got into my dream university.<<

Congratulations! Major or focus of study?

>>Build more Lego, read more books- my aim is 52.<<

My partner and I have done Orthanc, Fallingwater, and a few others. We looked this year but didn't find one we both liked that was in our price range. The Taj Majal is epic though.

>>People that are similarly bookish/creative.<<

My house is basically lined with books.

Re: Hello!

[beckyonmars]

I will add you :)

I post lots of pictures of my hobbies. I am a theology major :)

Re: Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

>> I will add you :)

I have added you back.

>> I post lots of pictures of my hobbies.<<

Yay!

>> I am a theology major :)

Single religion or mixed? I'm Pagan with interfaith interests.

Re: Hello!

[beckyonmars]

My degree focuses on Christianity but elements of other religions and other stuff like philosophy and science

Re: Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I like philosophy and science too. I'm running Philosophical Questions on Thursdays, and I pick up science links from Big Think.

[silviarambles]

Hello! I think we might have stuff in common, mind if I add you? I'm also really curious about the miniatures - I have no skills whatsoever by I find miniatures fascinating!

[beckyonmars]

I’m adding you :) I think we might have previously been friends on LJ?

[silviarambles]

Oh it could be! Was your username the same? Adding you now :)

[falena]

Hi, you sound like my kind of journal person. I'm definitely very bookish though possibly not as creative as you are. Congrats on getting into your dream university! It's brilliant, I'd love to go back to uni, maybe once my kids are older. My intro is here, have a look, and if you think we could get along I'll add you.

[beckyonmars]

Adding you now :)
