Intro post
Hi all,

I've moved my journal here in the wake of all that is going on over at LJ. I mean, I'm all for protecting the children (I have a daughter about to turn five) - but I am 30 and feel no need to be protected by anyone. (Isn't that why I have a back button?) Anyway, that's all I am going to say about it, because folks who are much more eloquent than I have already done so over at LJ (and lots of other places as well). My LJ is damsel_ophelia.

I'll be migrating my LJ journal over here (and backdating the entries). Anything that was friends-only there will be friends-only here.

Oh yes, for clarification - I generally only use initials for folks who I do not want to identify by name in my journal (to protect my privacy or theirs), and I will only identify someone by their username if given permission, so knowing who the following folks are might be helpful...

L is my daughter.
E is my fiancee...in less then three weeks she'll be my WIFE!!! (SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!)
M is the biggest pain in the ....err, I mean my ex-husband, and L's dad.

So that's about it, for now...

Ooh, I like the sound of your outfits. I haven't decided on what colour dress I want yet. I do know that I want a dress. I really really hate traditional wedding dresses. Those big puffy white things that look like cupcakes. So I know I don't want one like that.

I'll probably go for white, just because it's a colour I never wear, so it will be kind of special in that sense. I'm thinking of something kind of flowy, hippie-ish, past the knees but above the ankles.

I don't know what David will wear (my fiance), but he wants to break away from the norm too.

We're going to have an outdoor garden wedding. We found a venue that is an art gallery and has nice gardens and a lawn. The wedding will be outside, and we're going to have an outdoor buffet as well. We'll invite about 55 people. For me, it's a bit bigger than what I wanted, but about 25 of those people will be family. Only four of my family will be there, because the rest live far away (David's family all lives close by, so he'll have around 20 family members there!).

I don't want anything too formal. I basically just want it to be a happy day where everyone I care about is together and eating a meal together. I like the idea of a buffet because then everyone can just pick out what they actually want, and not be given a plate with stuff they might not want. Also, it's more casual that way just to have people getting their own food.

Hmm yeah. It's still a year and a month away. My older sister is getting really excited about it and offered to be my wedding planner. She wants to book and organize everything for us, hehe. It's nice :)

It takes time to get stuff set up.
I'm still over at Live Journal, primarily b/c of a community there that I care about and a few L.J. friends who haven't gone yet.
Though I have backed up all of my L.J. and I am cross-posting everything to here now.

I love having all the icons in numbers here and Squeeky is a genuine human being.
I've met some cool folks here and I hope over time as things settle down a bit to meet some more.

You must have gotten married by now-- congrats!!!

I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing.
