Is there an interesting story behind your username? Well... I used to collect porcelain dolls as a kid and my fursona/truesona is a lamb! :D

Location and language(s): I'm from England and I speak English.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): I'm in my early 20s and I would prefer to friend other young people.

Hot button/dealbreaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: AI/NFT bros, fandom related content, K-Pop, right-wing politics, empty journals, NSFW/Rule 34/Fetish content, religious slop, bad grammar and spelling, bigotry of all stripes, drama-farmers, 4Chan posers, crybullies, TikTok/Instagram speak, and people who can't take a joke.

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 I do, and I have a more detailed About Me over at my site! Click here!

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Yup!

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: I'm BIPOC, AFAB and a lesbian! I have mild Autism and Dyslexia; so please I beg you to be patient with me at times, since I kinda suck with people. I'm an anthro artist who's eager to improve and is very open to feedback and advice; hell, I even have an art journal over at InsaneJournal!

You mostly write about: My day-to-day life and whatever interests me that day (usually music or anime or some random MMORPG)!

You never or very rarely write about: Politics, online drama, gardening, world affairs, celeb gossip and other stuff I find boring.

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? Mostly public minus entries featuring personal photos.

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

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

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Mostly text with some photos here and there.

What do you enjoy most about journaling? Just having a place to yap about random stuff makes me feel powerful!!!

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

You really enjoy reading about: Other people's days, cool furry or animanga art, music, alternative fashion, and retro furry and animanga stuff! 

You have very little interest in reading about: Stuff I would imagine my mum or a teacher being into... no offence! I'm just a big kid at heart that's all. Also, I don't wanna hear about your sex life especially if it's graphic!

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? I don't wanna see yo unfunny memes and videos, dawg... ;[

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? Quality with some quantity thrown in for good measure.

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 only ever comment if I know you really well, or we have a lot in common...

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 don't really unfriend unless I really need to for the sake of my own peace.

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? It always constantly changes. Right now, I'm really into the donghua Tales of A Herding God! Qin Mu, my beloved protagonist!!!

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? As long as you aren't annoying, ultra corny or cruel, we can definitely be friends, homefry! :3 Also, I mostly post my art on deviantART; so if you have an account on there; please give me a watch!!! <3

Is there an interesting story behind your username? Not really. I dig the song, and I was in a future punk phase lol.

Location and language(s): Canada, English. Trying to learn Spanish.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): Late 30s.

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: I will let you know when/if this becomes relevant. Outside of the general rule of trying your dang best to not be an asshole, I honestly try and give people a chance.

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, its the same post as my Friends Only post.

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Absolutely useless, has nothing important in it at all except some interests. Check the friends only post, lol.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: Genderfluid, living with mental illness & disabilities. I have really amazing people that I am working with and spent a lot of years working on it. Everything else will probably come in time?

You mostly write about: Day to day life, reflections, thoughts, plans, hopes, dreams. Things I'm working on, projects, interests.

You never or very rarely write about: Not much of a fandom person so probably not any fanfiction, fanart, or anything like that.

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

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.

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

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Not really. I might end up posting links to my vlogs and reaction channel when/if I ever get that up and running again, people are more than welcome to ignore it. May post a photo here and there but I haven't done a meme in a hot minute. Sometimes they're fun?

What do you enjoy most about journaling? Its a great way to document what is going on, release stress and let things out, and in a community journaling aspect its also a great way to connect with people on a deeper manner than what a lot of modern social media offers.

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? Every few days I try to check in.

You really enjoy reading about: What everyone is up to! Honestly, I just like getting to know what is going on in peoples lives, what they are doing, etc.

You have very little interest in reading about: shrugs. If something doesn't tickle me, I just move past it.

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Its fine for the most part. If its NOTHING but those things then I might have less interest as I want to find more connection and read about what's happening in peoples lives and the things they're up to. A little though, no problem. Sometimes memes and links and stuff help you get to know people more!

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? Quality. Comment what you feel and however it rocks for you.

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? No.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? If I have something to say, I say it.

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? Depends. If we don't click at all and hardly know one another then I will probably just unfriend. If we've gotten to know one another somewhat well and things are not clicking all of a sudden, then I might try and talk to them first.

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? At the moment, not really. I might talk about some music I like or a show/movie I watched that I enjoyed if I feel like I have something to talk about regarding them but I can't think about anything in particular right now.

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? Hello, and I hope we can become friends!!

Since my friends list is becoming a wasteland...

Is there an interesting story behind your username? A play on my first name.

Location and language(s): Central Texas, English

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): Turned 40 this January.

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: Politics. While I think I'm more open-minded than before, I far more prefer discussion focused solely on issues and events rather than politicians than groups, and am very sensitive about the rhetoric used.

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, my sticky journal header and my recent political posts so you can get an idea of how I like to discuss politics and current events.

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Up-to-date regarding my interests, and I'll try to work on a new bio, but I'm super ADHD now and need to find the time.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: I'm a high-functioning autistic who has faced severe psychological abuse from my family and am trying to get out of my toxic household.

You mostly write about: What grinds my gears at the moment.

You never or very rarely write about: Things I don't care about.

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

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 use filters, but with political posts, I try to include a "trigger warning" in the subject.

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): Depends upon how I feel, since I'm at a juncture in my life and need to get my mind in order.

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

What do you enjoy most about journaling? Being able to say what I want and discussing my views with people who are like-minded.

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

You really enjoy reading about: Anything that piques my interests.

You have very little interest in reading about: Things that trigger me.

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 don't trigger me.

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? A mixture of both.

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? No.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? I try to be diplomatic and as civil as possible, even when I disagree with others' opinions.

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? If something they say triggers me, I try to indicate they upset me yet be as diplomatic as possible and just unwatch them while letting them still comment in my journal.

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 have a lot of favorites but tend only to write about them in intelligent reviews.

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? As long as you aren't mean in how you express your views or to me, we can definitely be friends.

 Is there an interesting story behind your username?

I am a big fan of the Divergent series, and consider myself a Dauntless.  :)

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):  50's
 
Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:

Don't bring your politics to my journal.  That's what your journal's for.  And don't argue with my politics in my journal if I post them.  I'm not posting mine for you to try to convince me you're right.  It's MY JOURNAL.  Ugh.
Other than that, just don't be an asshole to me or anyone else.  You know what that means.  You're a grownup.
 
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.?
My profile.
 
Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful?  Yes.
 
List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
I say what I think.  I try to be compassionate about it.  But you might not like it.  Don't ask what I think if you don't want to know.

You mostly write about:  My life.  Sometimes opinions.
 
You never or very rarely write about:  I was raised not to whine.  If I post about something bothering me, I need hugs.  I don't do that very often.
 
Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?  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 use filters that are based on what level of info I want to share about myself.  I have learned the hard way you can't trust some people with your most intimate thoughts and feelings.  As I know you longer, I change your level of access.
 
Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):  Right now, I'm trying for daily.
 
Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?  No.  But I'd like to do more of those.
 
What do you enjoy most about journaling?  The connection to others.
 
How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?  Trying for daily.
 
You really enjoy reading about:  The things I'm interested in!  :)  Generally, my friends lives are pretty interesting.  If not, I know how to scroll.
 
You have very little interest in reading about: Politics. I watch the news sources I trust and form my own opinions, thanks.
 
Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?  I mostly think they're fun.
 
When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity?  Do I have to choose one?
 
Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?  If they're not commenting, how do I know?  I unfriend if I find many days where I just don't have much in common with them, or if they haven't visited DW in many weeks.
 
What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?  I don't always comment, but I try to if I have some little thing I can add to their day.
 
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?  No note.  I'm okay with the same.
 
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?

The fandom you'll most often see me write about is Star Trek.  I'm also a writer, so I may also post an opinion of how something I saw was written.
 
Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?
I'm trying to do less Facebook and more DW--I'm sad that we live in a world where everything online becomes an attack of others.  I have enjoyed online connections with others for decades, and found it very fulfilling and fun.  Hope you do too.  :)
