Hi, I still relatively new to LJ, but it's becoming like a familiar. I started in mid-2007. My husband,
pure_agnostic, has been a much longer-time regular LJ user who finally talked me into getting an account.
I'm originally from Edmonton, Alberta, but I came to the U.S. as a college student and have lived in various U.S. states since then. My last move was in 2001 from the southwest Missouri Ozarks to the S.F. Bay Area. (That was a pretty big change of cultures within the same country!) Somewhen in 2009, California finally trumped Minnesota for the state I've lived in the longest. I commute from the Bay Area suburbs to teach astronomy classes in San Francisco, and I try to do research on the side. I live in a cohousing community with my husband, our 9-year-old daughter, and a girlfriend very dear to our hearts who's more than half moved in with us.
So far, I haven't posted much here; and the majority of my entries are not publicly available to everyone. Many of my posts discuss personally sensitive issues, and those are filtered in various ways. I also make a lot of private entries. However, I'm generally not too shy about having people that I barely know reading some of my more personal posts. Chances are that if I at least know who you are, even if we've never interacted in person, I'll put your LJ name into at least one of the filters I use for posting. (Of course, some of my posts are really personal and only available to very close friends.)
