Seeking New Friends in New Year
Is there an interesting story behind your username?
The G. is the first letter of my last name, the Remy is a contraction of my first name, and G. Remy is a play on my legal first name Jeremy.
Location and language(s):
Central Texas, English
Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):
Late 30s, to turn early 40s later this month.
Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:
Politics, depending upon how it's discussed. I very much prefer intelligent discourse focused far more on issues and events than singling out individuals and groups, void of gaslighting or invalidation.
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.?
Yes, here, though it's friends-locked.
Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful?
Yes, I think it's reasonably detailed.
List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
I'm a high-functioning autistic with traces of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and so forth, and I do swear a lot and use some sexual verbiage in my posts.
You mostly write about:
What's been happing during my days, updates on what video games I've been playing, review on whatever video games I beat, book reviews, television show reviews, movie reviews, posts featuring anthropomorphic art I've done myself or commissioned, and so forth.
You never or very rarely write about:
I try to stray away from politics, but if it's a really controversial subject, I likely will include a "trigger warning."
Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?
Personal posts are locked, although my various reviews are public.
Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)?
No, everything is fair game.
Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):
Mostly daily, depending upon how busy I am.
Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
I do include images in my posts, but mostly of things from YouTube or artwork I've either done or commissioned.
What do you enjoy most about journaling?
Sharing my unique mindset with the world
How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?
As often as I can.
You really enjoy reading about:
Things that pique my interest and generally aren't triggering.
You have very little interest in reading about:
Probably politics, especially if uncivilly discussed.
Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
I don't mind, as long as they aren't offensive.
When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity?
A combination of both.
Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?
I generally don't do so.
What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?
I try to remain civil and intelligent.
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 would probably send them a civil Dear John note, and I would appreciate the same in return, as long as said person was nice about it.
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 don't write frequently on specific shows, movies, or books unless I'm reviewing them.
Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?
None, I look forward to interacting with you all and making new friends.
