DREAMWIDTH FRIENDING MEME

Heyo!

So after a few plurk discussions, the want to start journaling again a la Livejounal came up a few different places, and this idea was born!

We ask if you participate, that you attempt to post 1-3 time a week, and comment as much as possible to help jump start personal journaling here on dreamwidth. And if you use your journal already (or if you start from here) we'd love a link back to this meme! The more the merrier!

You can also follow this community for both daily writing prompts and a monthly friending meme!

To participate, copy and paste this in a comment, fill it out, and go make some friends!

Hi!

Largely WWII and the Cold War (which yes, covers a lot of time) but there's just so much interesting stuff. Especially a fan of things dealing with women during wartime (the female Soviet WW2 snipers are especially cool). The nuclear crisis, the space race, Vietnam, how Reagan let the stupid Star Wars program stand between nuclear disarmament, etc.

I'm mostly into the US and the USSR, but I dabble in England and Germany a bit. I' a huge fan of the "historically accurate " type blogs, though most of them seem to have gone inactive.

My two primary periods of focus are the Crusades through the Renaissances and then the World Wars and Cold War so I hear ya there. Yeah I keep thinking I need to get back to some of my history blogging, but lately time's not been on my side.

I love these periods because they're messy and complicated and not easily parsed. I'm big into the intelligence gathering parts of it all, how they developed, pitfalls and successes, that sort of thing.
