New Arrival

[aggienaut]

   ::steps off the rusty grey refugee ship СС Ливейоурнал, with bag over shoulder::

   Hello all. I have just arrived here, still figuring things out. Thought I'd say hi though. I am known as Emo-Snal back in the old country. I'm a professional beekeeper from California now living in an adorable little village on the southern edge of Australia on the verge of a temporate rainforest. I live alone with a pet basil plant named Theodora and there's an awesome cat that people misconstrue as my pet but really he isn't and I'm not just saying that. He just loves to hang out with me. We're BFFs.

Welcome! Your not-pet is cute.

[aggienaut]

Thanks! :-3

[aggienaut]

You list your location as the Baikonur Kosmodrome, are you really there??

[omnipotent]

Of course not. If I were, I doubt Big Bad Vlad would let me have dedicated internet access, haha.

[aggienaut]

I do actually have a LJ / DW friend (test: does the alexpgp link work here? or maybe?) who frequently works there doing technical translating/interpreting!

[iosonochesono]

Gorgeous! He looks like he's got some Maine Coon to him.

I did bookkeeping myself until recently (though I guess it wouldn't qualify as professional. I was trained on the job as opposed to being formally trained in school.)

Welcome to DW.

Beekeeping

[aggienaut]

Do you mean bookkeeping or beekeeping? Because I meant beeeekeeping (:

Re: Beekeeping

[iosonochesono]

Oh my God, how did I misread that XD Bookkeeping, bookkeeping.

Re: Beekeeping

[rydra_wong]

They're easy to confuse! Bookkeepers are the ones who have the special suits with the veils, right? To stop the books from stinging them.

[aggienaut]

I'm supposed to fill these boxes with books and put bees on my shelves right?

[rydra_wong]

I'm just going to add to the tally of comments saying "Wow, your BFF is AWESOME."

You're probably not bad either, but your BFF is great. *g*

Welcome to the DW side!

[aggienaut]

Thanks! :-3

Welcome to DW.

[aggienaut]

Thanks!

[jcfiala]

That picture of your cat is awesome.

[aggienaut]

Thanks! He's often picturesque but this is my favorite one (:

[iddewes]

Hi there! Good to see you and your massive cat over here! I hope you remember me from LJ.

[aggienaut]

Ah hello! It's fun to find old friends here!

[sepdet]

Welcome and... wow, that's an introduction. (Bees! Australia! Basil! Awesome cat)

[aggienaut]

Thanks! (:

[versailles_rose]

Looks like you've been adopted by that huge amount of cat! Welcome aboard DW.

[aggienaut]

Thanks! (:

[darth_eldritch]

He's one gorgeous cat. Beekeeping is so fascinating, I like watching youtubes of beekeeping.

And welcome!

[aggienaut]

I find it pretty interesting ;)

[mummimamma]

I used to be your friend back on LJ (well, I still am, I just forget to read), and I'd like to read your stuff her as well!

[aggienaut]

Yay! Yeah I'm not sure is there a way to find all my old friends?

[southern_belle30]

Ah, another LJ refugee. Welcome welcome welcome!


Ooooh, big fluffy cat alert!

Beekeeping sounds awesome, except my anxiety would probably keep me ducking like a doofus and running like a wuss if they got near me. LOL

[aggienaut]

He is the biggest and fluffiest!! And speaking of running and ducking the cutest thing is that he used to run in a mad panic when a bee gets tangled in his hair but now he's learned that if I'm nearby if he anxiously stands still for me I'll get it out for him.

[southern_belle30]

I clicked on those pictures you linked of him and the one that tickles me the most is the one where he's lying stretched out on his back, paws stretched out, teeth showing that he may or may not be a vampire in disguise....XD

[paw_prints]

Welcome to Dreamwidth. :)

The cat is absolutely gorgeous. It's nice to see some more Southern Hemisphere people here (I'm in NZ).

[aggienaut]

Hello fellow person currently experiencing winter as well! How 'bout hearing all these people whinging about how hot it is right now eh? (:

[triadruid]

That cat is hugemonguous, and has an excellent name to boot.

Welcome!

I am three months late to the party, but that is an amazing cat. My 17 pound floof monster (half Maine coon) looks tiny compared to that, which is very impressive.
