Well, hello there!!

[ocean_pearl]

 Is there an interesting story behind your username?
It's based mostly on this song... plus my favorite gem is a pearl.

Location and language(s): Newmarket, Canada, mostly English with some Italian, French, German, Klingon, and garbled nonsense.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): 45 years young

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: I'm a pretty chill person.. so.. probably hate speak...

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? Not yet.

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Define 'useful'?

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
I'm quirky, good natured, a little crazy, and I write a lot... and comment a lot.

You mostly write about:

My life, my friends, simming, and my daily life...

You never or very rarely write about:

Nothing, really, maybe politics?? IDK

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?

It's public.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)?

I don't know how to, so no?

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):

I am the CNN of DW. Every minute (lol) not really, I post every day, sometimes hourly...

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?

Yasss...

What do you enjoy most about journaling?

I love the fact that you can meet new people...

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?p

Same as the frequency of my postings... chances are, if you post something, I'll notice.

You really enjoy reading about:

Other peoples lives, their pets + babies/children, quizzes, surveys, memes.. etc etc

You have very little interest in reading about:

Politics and just hate speak

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?

Bring it on!!!

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity?

Both. 

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?

Nope.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?

I comment a lot. I am a talkative bxtch.

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances?
I usually will send a message.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general?

I write about a lot of stuff... fandom, non fandom... idk..

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?

I have Tourettes so I swear a lot but, I will try and tone it down if that's what you want. ☺

Looking forward to hearing from you.
