First post, here, so let us have an intro post. A large percentage of people reading this journal right now will already know me, but please indulge me anyway. (ETA: Charley has turned me into a dirty lying liar who lies on this point, which I do not mind at all. If I do not know you, hi! Feel free to add, with or without commenting, whatever you'd like.) It is a decent way to start things out. This may be a sticky post eventually, but for now, here we go:

I am Morgan. I've used other names and other journals, including my real name, which is not Morgan or particularly common, and Alex, which at least a couple of you definitely knew me as previously. But Morgan is what I am going by now, at least for now. I'm twenty-one years old, turning twenty-two in exactly thirty days, which is not a pleasing thought, but unavoidable. I live in Florida, in the Tampa area. I am not a fan of it. Originally I'm from Brooklyn, New York, but I've now lived in Florida longer than I did in New York.

I identify as genderfluid, and tend to feel at least leaning towards neutral, if not outright neutral, most of the time. My preferred pronouns are they/them. Or it -- but I know not everyone is comfortable calling someone it. I am a heredity witch who considers themself to be Wiccan, and is in the process of fleshing out what that means, including finding a pantheon and getting into the habit of daily prayer and regular meditation. My sexuality is a little bit fluid, but tends to stay in the asexual, panromantic, polyamorous, theoretically kinky zone. (The theoretical in kinky is mostly because I have yet to get to really explore kink, but I am very interested in it.) I am engaged to my partner of three years. They are wonderful and I adore them completely.

I am functionally unemployed (I work four hours a week and I desperately need a real job), and currently out of school while I apply to scholarships and places to get my bachelors after getting my AA at community college. I want to write and edit and am working on getting up a website and looking for work as a freelance editor.

I am a fannish thing, through various channels, though I don't post much that I do. I like fantasy and light sci-fi and YA, but that's not all I get into. I roleplay, both via Dreamwidth and via tabletop (AD&D 2nd Edition, I kind of grew up with it), and recently started both playing and DMing with my mother and brothers. I have two half-brothers who are eight and ten years younger than me, a mother, a stepfather, and a grandmother, the last of whom I live with, to the occasional detriment of our relationship. I like musicals, and I like music in general. I adore theater, and used to act, and kind of miss it. I read Tarot cards and have a set of runes I am planning to start working with. I kind of know American Sign Language. I have anxiety and depression issues. I share my headspace. I am an awful, awful enabler. I am... probably a lot of other things, but I cannot think of what else to mention here.

And I am also, and always, open to questions, if I've missed anything you'd like to know, or you want elaboration.

Referred from Charlie. Adding if that's alright?

Absolutely. Nice to meet you.

Hello! I am Kat and I was referred here by Charlie. Mind if I friend you?

Hi! Not at all! I have to admit, you always sounded really interesting when I saw you around commentplaces, so I am glad to meet you properly.

Shiny! Let us be friends.

Hello!

Hi! :)

Was referred by Charlie. OK if I friend?

Absolutely! The more the merrier.

...I don't know why we have not been friends in the past. I feel like we have so many mutual people in our lives. But yeah, here from Charley, and going to go ahead and friend you if that's okay?

Definitely! I have no idea why, I have been hearing about your awesomeness for years. I always kind of meant to say hi, too, I just really suck at making first intros.

I'm another who's been referred here by Charley. You sound interesting. Mind if I add?

Wow, my partner brings all the interesting people out of the woodwork. --Which is to say, not at all! Nice to meet you.

Hiya! I came over from Charley's post, mind if I friend you? You sound awesome :)

Not at all! Nice to meet you. :D

Like Ai, I'm not sure why I haven't friended you yet.

Silliness, clearly. It's nice to properly meet you, finally.

I've thought about friending you a couple of times, but I get weirdly anxious friending people.

Ahah, I do the same thing, so I understand completely.

Annie. I've seen you around, and am here from Charley. Mind if I friend? (I am just getting out of a toxic situation, so the past few months have not been awesome for DW posts, but am middle of getting sane and therefore managing posts that aren't from a deeply triggered point.)

Hi! And not at all! I remember seeing you as well, actually. (And I am glad things are getting better, whatever they are.)

Hi, I'm Kowe, here from Charley. Mind if I friend? :)

Not at all! I am pretty sure I had you on my old journal, actually, and I thought I had friended you already. Whoops? :D

Hello! I'm Randomling. Also followed over here from Charley, and adding you - you sound interesting and cool!

Hi! And thank you! (Also, I was looking at your icons and eee, Sports Night! I do not know enough people who know that show. XD)

Eee, Sports Night indeed! Great show. Wish I had more icons for it (a Dana, a Dan/Casey and a Jeremy would not go amiss...)

Hello!

Same here. I had a happy Issac from Thespis icon for ages, I love it, but 15 icons means missing out on some awesome ones. XD Have you looked at jukebox_grad on LJ? Awesome textless icons andt hey've done - most if not all of he episodes, I think. (And I have a slew of quote icons I made myself, as well.)

Hello. :)

We're another one of those "I keep meaning to add you. /o\" people. Mind if we do so?

Absolutely not. I keep meaning to do the same thing -- I hear quite often that you all are awesome and I kept wanting to say hi properly. So, hi! ^^

You appear to be several of my favorite things. (And you're also suffering through a stay in Florida like me.) Mind if I add? \o/

Not at all! Nice to meet you. (And haaah, I'm sorry for our state. Where in Florida, if you don't mind my asking?)

CF, pine hills/ocala area. :(

You sound really awesome, and I'm here via Charley's post, adding you & I hope that's okay :)

Absolutely! The more the merrier. :D

Came here via a link from Charley. Would you mind if I added you?

Not at all! The more the merrier. Nice to meet you.
