Friends only!

[rymenhild]

I believe I've almost unintentionally made the switch to a friends-only journal. The last eight posts on this journal are either locked to my friends in general or filtered to people who've expressed interest in hearing my complaints about the dissertating process.

Anyway, I welcome any and all readers to my journal -- I just like to know who they are. If you ask to be added, you almost certainly will be.

I shall work on producing one of those trendy friends-only banners, perhaps using some particularly homoerotic medieval illumination -- any suggestions, people? In the meantime, comment here to be added to my friendslist in general or to any or all of these opt-in filters:

• Dissertation (Ramblings about research -- emphasis on ramblings.)
  
• Teaching (The exciting life of a graduate instructor.)
  
• Roleplaying (If you're a Milliways player on my friendslist, you're already on it.)

I pretty much always want to be on all everyone's filters. ;) Except some about people's personal sex lives, which I can never quite figure out the point of posting to LJ anyway.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Neither can I. There's a point when it's really too much information.

(Also, done!)

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[thoroughbass.livejournal.com]

I'd be very interested in your dissertatin', please.

Maybe some kind of locked-castle illumination with Bel-Accueil giving the go-ahead?

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

I've never been able to get very far into the Roman de la Rose, but it does have some excellent manuscripts! I'll look into that.

Also, you are now filtered in to my exciting dissertating life.

[cupenny.livejournal.com]

*waves hand* already on the Milliways filter, of course- but I'd also like to be on the Teaching one as well.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

There's nothing on it from the last six months, but I start teaching another course in the fall. I'll go add you now.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Or not -- you were already on it!

[tarimanveri.livejournal.com]

I think I'm already on the diss filter, but if I'm not on the teaching one, I'd like to be.

No manuscript suggestions (I'm just a baby PhD student and the stuff I'm working on isn't on pretty manuscripts as far as I can tell), but I'm all for you finding yourself some homoerotic illumination...

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

You're on! :)

[tovaks.livejournal.com]

Add me, please. :)

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

There you are.

[meep.livejournal.com]

I'm interested in the teaching and dissertation filters.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

All set!

[larryhammer]

Research! Research!

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Done!

[tempestsarekind.livejournal.com]

Oh! I would like to be added to the teaching and dissertation filters, please. I like to read about other people's teaching and research--it's like doubling the size of my department!

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

I think I talk about research with colleagues more on LiveJournal than I do at my actual university. You're on. :)

[the_croupier]

I hope I'm on all three already, but just in case. =)

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

I missed you on the diss filter, but you're on now.

[goblinmouse.livejournal.com]

I would love to hear about your research and teaching. I'll be joining the ranks of grad students in obscure things soon, and you are proving quite inspiring.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Are you, then? Welcome to our crazy group!

And done!

I am such a library geek...

[pisica.livejournal.com]

...because I IDd the library in your icon....

(Found you via angevin2.)

As far as I'm concerned, Duke Humfrey's is the most wonderful place in the world, or at least in the top three.

Hey! I've been following you because you seem cool. If you'd like to add me, that would be neat, but no pressure. I am interested in your dissertation and teaching filters.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Sure! Sorry for not friending you before. I'm weird about friending people I haven't actually heard from -- a comment to say "Hi, I am a person!" Like this one! really does help.

Hi.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_swallow/]

(Hah, okay. I think I was just intimidated.)

[zcat-abroad.livejournal.com]

Hiya!

I friended you, after reading your profile and realising we're at very similar stages.

And yay for roleplaying as well, though to date I've only played in 3 games, 2 of which were Buffy related.

And teaching too! What are you teaching? I'm lecturing (for the first time) and tutoring for the umpteenth on Old English. In the other semester, I do Middle English.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

There, I have friended you back!

I really only play in one game, the panfandom LiveJournal milliways_bar. (And I've been playing in it for three years -- how did that happen?) RP filter posts usually say things on the order of "Hey, X, Y and Z, I can't be around tonight. Can we postpone?" So I've put you on the teaching and diss filters, but not on the RP filter.

I teach composition to undergraduates; the theme of the class differs from semester to semester, and for reasons related to my having to have a teaching filter in the first place, I'm not going to describe next semester's theme on a public post. You'll see the posts when I start teaching again in the (American) fall.

I want to read too!

Does that mean I need a livejournal account?

I'm afraid it does -- sorry. (Maybe you should get a livejournal account!)

How are things going with you?
