That's so interesting that you like sewing! I used to do it in the old days as well. And making jewelry sounds like a of fun. I like to be creative too but haven't been in some time lol.

But yeah..We have some things in common like music, decorating and drawing. Friends?

[silviarambles]

Added too!

[yellowrosess]

Oh FASHION!! I love fashion <3333. At my LJ I posted a lot of outfit posts and I plan on doing it on this dreamwidth journal as well (when I figure out how to post pics on here)

We should be friends! Can I add you?

[seewildflowers]

I’ll add you! :)

[seewildflowers]

I would love to add you? I grew up mostly living in the countryside and I miss it. I also love hiking!

[seewildflowers]

I love reading about people’s day to day lives and seeing pictures! I love the two pics you posted at the end of this. I’d love to add you?

General
Name/Nickname: Star.
Age or Age Group: Far too close to 50!
Country: Australia.
Pronouns: She/her.

You
Do you have any hobbies?: Let's see if I remember them all. Writing, reading, TV, films, music, weaving, junk journal making, cooking, gardening, thrift shopping, cafes, markets, fairs, dinners, live gigs, penpaling. Some of these are not as frequent as they were, but I am hoping to get back into them.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: SLEEP.
Any dislikes?: Hatred, predjudice, far right wingness, Nazis, anti-science. Also tomatoes and okra.
Are you into fandom?: Not these days.
What does your day to day look like?: I get up, get dressed, have breakfast and check email, make sure my cat is fed and watered. Do what needs to be done in the house, if I have a medical appointment, go to that, or I sit outside with a pair of my elderly neighbors and chat. Have some lunch, keep going on my day, then have dinner, after dinner watch some TV, or YouTube, or Netflix, then go to bed. Reading may happen in there somewhere too. There is little structure. I have several health issues, one of them is chronic depression, so that determines a lot of what happens/doesn't happen.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?:Whatever catches my interest on free to air TV, YouTube or Netflix. I love The Witcher, foreign TV shows, and I follow some true crime YouTubers who I find fascinating. Babylon 5 will always be my #1 love.
What movies do you enjoy?: Sci-fi, fantasy, Marvel, some action films.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Only Mahjong on the laptop.
If you like to read, what do you read?: Sci-fi, fantasy, some mysteries, paranormal, weird fiction, not-originally-in-English fiction, historical non-fiction.
What kind of music do you listen to?: I'm still in the late 80s and early 90s. So punk rock, hardcore, symphonic metal, folk metal, melodic metal, some black/death metal, rock, hard rock. Also classical piano.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: Whatever is going on in my life at the given moment. Also I'll talk about things going on politically in my country and things happening in the world.
How often do you update?: Once every week or so, hoping to post more often.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Someone who posts what they like, when they like? I don't think that's for me to say. Your journal is yours, not for me to tell you how to post!
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Life! The universe! And everything!
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Don't be a dick! Seriously, though, I'm pretty easygoing.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: No far righters or anti-vaxxers, anti-Coviders. I have no sufferance for that, or for racism, homophobia, classism, or trying to tell me what to do, that sort of unasked for advice type thing.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I have a cat, I love her, she's my bestie. Also the tiniest cat I've ever had!



Anything else? Shadow.

[seewildflowers]

I would love to add you? I used to bird watch a lot with my husband. I love hiking! I love cats! I love it when friends post pictures on their journals.

General
Name/Nickname: Lydia
Age or Age Group: mid thirties
Country: Netherlands
Pronouns: she/her

You
Do you have any hobbies?: reading, watching movies, knitting, playing the ukulele
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: history, feminism, politics, general nerdery/geekery
Any dislikes?: bigots, injustice (yes I sound like a boring bluestocking, but honestly that's pretty much what I'm like in real life too, so *shrug*)
Are you into fandom?: not really. I read plenty of fanfic back in the day but have fallen out of it and fandom does not play in any role in my journal.
What does your day to day look like?: working (I'm a journalist for a niche publication), taking care of my kids (3 and 6 years old), reading a book, watching BBC, avoiding housework

Entertainment
I started filling this in but then scrapped the whole thing because I rarely post about this anyway. Except very rarely the books I read.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: my daily life, but not in a daily sense: the things that are different, the things I want to remember. How I'm feeling, how my kids are doing, the places we go. Also my husband, I just noticed I hadn't mentioned him yet. :') How I feel about world events.
How often do you update?: every one or two weeks. I generally average out around 4 entries a month.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: occassional commenting (definitely doesn't need to be every entry but don't be completely silent either), some sense of shared experiences and values (I like to read about people with kids in a similar age bracket, for example, and don't like right wing politics).
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Just what my friends are up to. Though you don't need to document every detail. I'm a busy working mom, sorry, so I tend to skim the very long entries.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Not really.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: If you're on the right wing of the political spectrum, anti vax, anti abortion, etc, we probably won't get along.

Anything else? I'd really like more DW friends from Europe.
