CHESHIRE23
| [Updated bio as of January 7, 2007] | Friending policy: I may add your journal if I find you interesting. You are under no obligation to reciprocate. If you add me, I will usually add you back. However, if you are under 18, I will be much more hesitant to add you. In fact, I probably won't, unless you're a college student or an emancipated minor, or unless I know your parents and know that they are OK with you reading the sorts of things I post here. I am in a lot of communities with a lot of minor members, and I think they add a lot of value to the community. However, as a parent myself and as someone who works in the child welfare field, I feel the need to be cautious.
| | What you may be getting into if you read my LiveJournal: I do make public posts from time to time, but work-related posts and particularly revealing information about my personal life stays friends-only, in part to keep random people in general (and random minors in particular) out of my LJ. That said, it's not as if I'm in the habit of posting NC-17 content - it is just not my style. I'm ranty and opinionated, though I do enjoy hearing other people's points of view. I recognize that I am friends with people who don't necessarily get along with each other. Kindly keep your interpersonal disagreements out of my LJ. This hasn't been an issue yet, and I hope it never becomes one. | Me, RL: My family, my work, and my faith are the centers of my life. My husband (![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ravenshrinkery) and I have been together for something more than four years, and married for all but the first two years. We have three mischevious cats and a daughter who is a lovely small person. I also have many friends that I consider to be family-by-choice.
As mentioned, I work in the child welfare field - I help to set reimbursement rates for foster care programs. It's fascinating work, though I regret that there is such a need for it.
I am a Unitarian Universalist. That doesn't mean that I'm a Pagan or atheist with a child - it means that I believe the questions of "how we got here" that many religions try to answer should take a backseat to the question of "what should we do, now that we are here?"
| Me, on LJ: I am a member of two Harry Potter communities: ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) fawkes_reunion (Gryffinpuff, Head of House) and hogwarts_elite (Hufflepuff). They are very different but I love them both. (And it was my splendid Secret Santa from hogwarts_elite that provided this layout.) If you are interested in one of these communities and want someone to look over an application, feel free to ask me! I also maintain shouldbsleeping, which is a great place for insomniac ranting. I try to stay out of LJ-related drama, and generally I succeed.
