General Name/Nickname: Genna. Some people call me Switz, but mostly Genna Age or Age Group: Well shit, I'll be thirty eight in April. I was something like seventeen when I started out on LJ. That's a lot of past Country: US Pronouns: she/her/hers
You Do you have any hobbies?: Erm. I sing in the church choir (high church Episcopalian if you care). I take figure skating classes. I've been cross stitching since the first Covid lockdown. Other than that I read a lot and generally fail at gardening. Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: ...probably? Any dislikes?: Raw onions. Cumin. The US healthcare system. Are you into fandom?: No. I like a lot of fandom things but not to the extent of actually... fandoming about them What does your day to day look like?: I don't... do you really want me to tell you what I do every day? Like, get up at 6, tea with the cats, go to work kind of thing? Not really, right? I work in a real estate law firm. I have a spouse that I like most of the time but with vastly different political beliefs so not all of the time. I have a friend who had a stroke so I've been spending a lot of time hanging out with him in the memory care unit of a local nursing home (more fun than it sounds).
Entertainment What do you like to watch?: I'm not picky. I'll try just about anything and will keep with it if it's done well. Right now I'm really enjoying Infinity Train, Arcane, Peacemaker Raising Dion, In the Dark, Evil and Taskmaster, among other things. Spouse is more the TV guy than I am, so I often just watch whatever he puts on. What movies do you enjoy?: So hey, do you ever just go completely blank when people ask questions like this? Like you have literally never seen a movie before in your life and then later you suddenly remember all of the things that you SHOULD have said? Yeah. Me too. Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: I... like... Dragon Age? And Supernatural (the FB VR punching thing). Also water balloon fights. Spouse does not play games, so I'm kinda out of luck for anything that requires more than one person. If you like to read, what do you read?: I will read literally anything if you provide me with a free copy of it. I tend naturally towards science fiction, and I know what I like when I read it, but there's a lot of good and bad in any genre. What kind of music do you listen to?: Literally all the music.
Journal & Friending What do you post about?: Day to day life. Internal musings. How often do you update?: 1-3 times a week at the moment. What do you look for in a DW friend?: Oh, you know, that je ne sais quoi of strong connection, but, failing that, someone who reads regularly and posts regularly and comments on occasion so I know they're still there and actually give a damn. That said, there have been friends I'm pretty sure never read my journal but who are so interesting, I don't actually care. Others are faithful and helpful commenters even if they never post. What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Day to day life, internal musings. Do you have any kind of friending policy?: No? I don't think so. Do you have any deal-breakers?: I get enough conservative claptrap in my home situation. I'm also not going to stick around if someone's content consistently makes me feel bad (this is also kinda wibbly in that I can't define it easily, but if there are ongoing themes that are triggery or even just "you keep doing that same thing over and over and then complaining about getting the same results" kind of thing, I might wander off?) Also I guess picking fights or consistently nitpicking or criticizing my life or something, though I can't remember the last time that happens. Case by case basis though, you know? Is there anything others should know before friending?: Despite what I said above about repeating things, I am married to a conservative guy despite being very liberal myself and I will complain about it on occasion, but I don't really want people to dogpile on him.
Anything else? I've just realized that I've done all of the html wrong in this thing and I'm too tired to go back and fix it. Also for the record, I'm just consistently terrible at friendzy questionnaires so, sorry.
Edit: Never mind. The entirely bolded thing was too annoying so I fixed it.
