I don't know what I'm doing here since I'm kinda bad at interacting, but...

General
Name/Nickname: Ajora/AJ
Age or Age Group: mid-40s
Country: USA currently, was raised for much of my childhood in rural Mexico
Pronouns: Answer hazy. Try again later. *Technically* I'm afab and sometimes cis, occasionally I have agender/gender-hating dysphoria squirrels in my head. I'm fine with she/her. I cannot keep up with the dysphoria squirrels and don't expect anyone else to.

You
Do you have any hobbies?: Plenty. I just rarely have time for them. Reading, writing, cello practice, videogames, collecting seashells, hunting favorite game merch on foreign auction sites, so on.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: History, anthropology, geography, archaeology, geology, geopolitics, epidemiology, and more. It'd be easier to list things I don't find interesting.
Any dislikes?: Plenty. I just don't seek them out and usually scroll past them if I see them online
Are you into fandom?: Very tiny ones. I only have time for one fandom these days, and that's going to be Final Fantasy V.
What does your day to day look like?: Get up, go to work, return to cabin in the woods, watch old TV shows on DVD because I can't stream anymore and play videogames that don't require much thought. If I'm not completely burned out from work, I might also write a little. Work may also include traveling for several days to even more backwater places.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: Sometimes sci-fi, sometimes fantasy, sometimes horror. It varies. I don't have broadband internet anymore so I can't keep up with the latest shows and have to resort to buying dvds/blu rays of everything. I still go back to Babylon 5 and Farscape every few years, though.
What movies do you enjoy?: See above.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: JRPGs, strategy rpgs especially. Big into older Final Fantasy games and the Ogre series. As I hit upon a tech wall back when I couldn't afford consoles anymore, I'm a bit outdated when it comes to newer games.
If you like to read, what do you read?: Bit of everything, but lately I am sick of some very common things and am just focusing on wlw/sapphic/lesbian fiction because I'm a butch lesbian and sorely in need of it.
What kind of music do you listen to?: Bit of everything, but when I really want to focus on writing or my projects at work, I'll bring up Haydn, Bach, Rachmaninoff, et al on the media player.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: Detailed RL stuff goes behind friendslock. Sometimes I'll post travel photos and photos of my collections if my internet connection is good enough. Sometimes I'll talk excitedly about my fandoms or fandom projects, or about living in the boonies. And sometimes it's just being vague about rl stuff. Very rarely will I vent about my disabilities and the way people treat me because of them, and that's usually behind friendslock.
How often do you update?: Once or twice a week, but I'm trying to be better about it.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Someone interesting, but not preachy about anything we might disagree on. Your lived experience is not mine, and I expect that to be respected.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Anything, really. I scroll past anything I don't want to read.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Don't be a dick.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: No antis, please.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I'm multiply disabled, biracial, was raised in both US and rural central Mexican cultures, and am several varieties of queer. Don't really care for the current twitter/tumblr fandom trend towards puritanism and kinkshaming, and don't care for being bludgeoned with people's firmly held opinions. I'm bound to piss someone off by existing.

Anything else? ... I like girls? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, I live in the middle of nowhere and the only good grocery store is over an hour away. My only internet connection is my phone and I run up the hotspot data cap on the regular, so there are periods where I just won't be able to reply at all. Also contributing to lack of connectivity is having to do work trips to even more remote places. So if constant attention is what you need, I can't provide it. Sorry!
