You
Do you have any hobbies?: I'm obsessed with music, love going to concerts, going out gay dancing, I play Dance Dance Revolution sometimes (I kept up with it regularly for exercise for about a year, but have been lazier lately). I like going to meetups (kink, poly, lesbian), playing board games, local vendor festivals, going to the beach, crafting...
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: Cats? I have two :)
Any dislikes?: Trumpers. I live in Florida, so everyone who voted for DeathSantis as well. Antivaxxers. Basically all bigots and conservatives lol.
Are you into fandom?: No not really. I started LiveJournal because of it though, from being obsessed with Veronica Mars. But I've never been into anything else that same way, before or since.
What does your day to day look like?: I own a cafe and we're in between locations (ugh don't get me started on it) so my days are really random right now. For money, I'm donating plasma regularly, I am in a clinical trial, and I dog sit and clean a friend's parents' place. I'm also trying to enjoy the free time I have because once we get the cafe up and running again, I won't have as much time to meet new people or date or go to REALLY GAY events! :D
Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: Anything that has lesbian characters and is supposed to be good, I'm basically catching up with many years of media I've missed. I really enjoyed Sense8, Orphan Black, Killing Eve, Good Trouble, Sex Education, tons more that I can't think of right now.
What movies do you enjoy?: I'm not as into movies. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my long-time favorite, and Wristcutters: A Love Story is my next favorite. I enjoy movies but don't think about them much afterwards, probably because I don't get the connection with the characters the same way as tv shows.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Dance Dance Revolution and whatever board games my friends want to play, I like most board games and card games.
If you like to read, what do you read?: I haven't read as much lately, but lesbian mysteries are fun.
What kind of music do you listen to?: Oi, this answer will get way too long lol. Garbage is my all-time favorite since middle school. The Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer was my college obsession. Metric, Halsey, Sia, and Cloud Cult are some of the rest of my Super-Favorites. K.Flay is my more recent obsession. I've also been finding all the Queer Music (tm) the past few years. (for context, I was pretty much gay, but in a relationship with a guy for 7 1/2 years, and have been single for a little over two years and have been sort of using this time to reclaim my sexuality). I'm currently really into phem, Sizzy Rocket, Zolita, UPSAHL, FLAVIA, Daya, FLETCHER, BEGINNERS, Lauren Sanderson, THE BLSSM, XYLO, GIRLI... I could go on and on...
Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: Life, which is mostly lived on the weekends. Dates, makeouts, meetups, events, markets and local festivals. Lots of pictures (though that doesn't seem as easy on DW as on LJ so I dunno). Mental health struggles, mine and everyone I know, pretty much. The trials and tribulations of the shitty ass new landlord for the cafe.
How often do you update?: About twice a week.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: People who post about their lives, it's so interesting to get a window into different people's heads from all over the world (especially things like COVID and this Ukraine war, it's so interesting to see how things are in other places). People who are VERY gay-friendly and non-judgmental.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Oh oops I kind of already answered that above.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: No, I mean, I prefer if people comment at least once in a while, but also aren't going to be upset if I don't comment every time. I do read always, sometimes it takes a while to catch up and I feel awkward commenting after too many days. So, I guess if we find we don't really match in that way or vibe overall, feel free to unfriend me.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: No homophobes and bigots of any kind.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: Adults only lol, I swear a lot and have some adult content.
Anything else? Nope!
