findingfriendsIs there an interesting story behind your username?
Not really, it's part of a line I read in a poem that I enjoyed and that wound up hanging in my brain for long after I finished the poem collection.
Location and language(s):
English speaker living outside of Nashville Tennessee.
Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):
Late 20's
Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:
Look, if you come at me, trying to tell me how to exist, how my friends need to exist, or anything like that, just fuck right off. I cope in the ways I cope, I function in the best way I know how and if you have an issue with that, please leave.
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.?<
I do!
Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful?
Eh, not really. The About post is more useful.
List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
- Liberal
- Queer and non-binary
- Disabled
- semi-professional writer type (meaning I have been paid for writing and am actively working on sending out fiction to paying markets.)
You mostly write about:
Random day to day stuff and on Fridays, I do a support post where I invite people to comment on things they've managed to do that week, the things they might have trouble with an whatever else you feel inclined to babble about.
You never or very rarely write about:
Politics mostly, though I lean very liberal by nature.
Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?
Definitely a mix.
Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)?
I do not but I do use cut tags for mental health issues and occasionally longer posts in general..
Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):
I do my best to post the Friday posts, so at least once a week, ideally two or three.
Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
It does not.
What do you enjoy most about journaling?
It's a way to keep track of life, functioning and general stuff that is going on around me.
How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?
Unless something is going on, every day.
You really enjoy reading about:
Things you are passionate about, daily existing, recs for books/movies/tv/media of any variety and just...Whatever you feel like showing off, honestly.,
You have very little interest in reading about:
Nothing really, I'm good with whatever.
Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
I'm cool with it.
When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity?
Do what is best for you. If you feel like spilling your brain, go for it. If you just want to leave a heart or some kind of acknowledgement, that's cool too.
Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?
Nah, not really. I hardly unfriend people, honestly.
What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?
I do my best but mental health occasionally leaves me just plain exhausted and unable to word.
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 quietly unfriend and am fine with unfriending in whatever manner you feel comfortable doing.
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?
Nothing really that is jumping to mind, I might mention something I'm consuming but it's not often.
Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?
Come say hi! :D I love talking to new folks and am happy to welcome you, whoever you are.
