General Name/Nickname: C Age or Age Group: Age is a misleading social construct! ;) Country: USA Pronouns: She/Her
You Do you have any hobbies?: I don't have as much time for them as I'd like, but I enjoy yoga, geocaching, wine tasting, writing, reading, plant-based cooking, and TRAVELING! Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: Music, history, culture, paranormal, law and justice (and where they don't meet), human/civil rights, animal rights, weather, trivia, and football (American style). I am sure I am forgetting something! Any dislikes?: Snakes, the expectation everyone should have children rather than being a genuine choice, crowds, the unchecked cost of living in my hometown, snooty people, walking on ice, and wearing high heels. Are you into fandom?: I am a superfan of the band The Cure, but I am not sure if that counts! What does your day to day look like?: I work as a state government attorney, so I am pretty busy with work. I live with my husband and our small dog, and usually I come home and cook (a passion of mine), watch TV, and go to bed. I like to get out on the weekends and take as many trips as possible. My husband is moving this fall to medical school, likely in Puerto Rico, so some of my future entries will be about adjusting to that change in my life.
Entertainment What do you like to watch?: I watch mostly streaming services except during football season, when Sundays are big football days here. (It will be SO hard without my husband here. Oof.) I watch a variety of things, but one niche area is travel and international house hunting shows. We also watch a lot of French Netflix. My husband is French-American. I also love Jeopardy, but I rarely get to watch it anymore because it airs here while I am at work. What movies do you enjoy?: I love musicals, horror (paranormal, not slasher or gore), dramas, romantic comedies, you name it. My all-time favorite movies are Moulin Rouge!, Dream for an Insomniac, and Evita. Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: I play Wordle and Worldle, if that counts. :) If you like to read, what do you read?: I read a LOT! I read bit of everything. I guess mostly I read general fiction and chick lit, but I also love historical fiction and memoirs. I find time to read every day. What kind of music do you listen to?: I listen to a bit of everything, although I don't know much about modern Top 40 stuff. My favorite band is The Cure. I have seen them 13 times in 4 countries, with tickets to see them 4 more times in 3 countries later this year. Some other bands I really love are Placebo, The Killers, Chvrches, Lake Street Dive, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Joy Division, Pet Shop Boys, and The Smiths. But then I also like country a lot. I prefer older country, like Willie Nelson (a hero to me), Dolly Parton or Tanya Tucker, but I also really love The (formerly Dixie) Chicks. And then I like some popular stuff, like Billie Eilish, but I don't know a lot of the more recent stuff. I also love me some Jimmy Buffett, and I have a very soft spot for Selena.
Journal & Friending What do you post about?: Mostly about my life. I also do monthly recaps of the books I've read and some months do daily outfit posts (one post at the end of the month), an idea I got from a friend. I try to do one ADIML per month, as I am in a community that does those, too. I find those so interesting! I try not to post too much about politics because I don't like arguments and because of my job. (I work for the state.) How often do you update?: I used to update daily, but now it is more like 2 times a week. One my husband starts school, though, I will probably update more. What do you look for in a DW friend?: I just want someone to make a connection with. I have a lot of people I consider good friends on my journal. What do you like to read about on your friends page?: I like to hear about people's lives. I like to see photos (with cuts, of course). Pretty much anything except fantasy journals. Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Not really.. sometimes we don't click, and that is fine. Do you have any deal-breakers?: Judgmental people, people that gossip behind your back, pushy people, and people that assume all people from a specific place are all the same/think the same Is there anything others should know before friending?: I may be slower in commenting than I used to be because I don't have as much time now, but that waxes and wanes.
