Where I Am is Where You'll Find Me, on the Edge of Many Things
Name/Nickname: Wanted On Voyage
Age or Age Group: 52
Country: USA
Pronouns: He/him/his
You
Do you have any hobbies?: Writing, drawing, taking shitty pictures, exercise.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?:
Any dislikes?: Auto-tune, cigarettes, those stupid farting mufflers, "reality" shows, superficiality, loud "look-at-me" personalities.
Are you into fandom?: I have never really understood what this means. I am a fan of lots of things, but--other than music--I'm not really in "a culture" about it. I write fiction but my other interests only tangentially appear in it.
What does your day to day look like?: Grudgingly get out of bed (total night owl) drink coffee and catch up for half an hour, go to work either at home or the office (just started going back a few days a week). Try to sneak in a walk at lunch if time and weather allow. Cook something, work on writing or video edits, or teach one night a week on Zoom. Work out. Sleep.
Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: I watch very little TV. Some recent series I enjoyed were:
Atypical
But I'm not caught up on any of them, so no spoilers.The Durrels in Corfu
Schitt's Creek
The Kominsky Method
Grace & Frankie
What movies do you enjoy?: I see even fewer movies. I think the last one I saw in a theater was Born to Run.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Not really.
If you like to read, what do you read?: I used to read voraciously but my vision is jacked up and by the time I'm done with what I have to get done online I struggle to focus on paper books. Trying to get into the audio book habit. I mainly like fiction, particularly if there is a strong male/male friendship arc. The Wind in the Willows was a childhood favorite and I read The Art of Racing in the Rain years before it was a movie. Also like big coffee table books about my geekdoms.
What kind of music do you listen to?: My favorite subgenre is called "orgcore" after punknews.org but I like a wide range including folk, classical, ska, Americiana. The Gaslight Anthem, the Menzingers, Against Me!, Dave Hause, Chuck Ragan, Ani DiFranco, Rise Against, the Bouncing Souls, etc. Mainly I want substance over style; not much for rap, EDM or overproduced pop.
Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: My day-to-day musings and encounters, the concerts I go to, occasional updates on the world of shipping and aviation.
How often do you update?: I have written a post per day for years. They don't always go live on the day they are describing though.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: People who want to interact; who will comment and reply to comments. Not really looking for more "celebrity" bloggers to follow without interaction unless you are extremely interesting. Also, if your posts are all public I am less likely to comment in much depth, because see below.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Your life, your ideas, things you make or wish for, funny things that happen.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: I give as I get. I rarely unfriend anybody unless you are picking fights or whatnot, but--like everybody--I am busy and I am far more likely to spend time on your posts and comment if I feel like you are doing likewise.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: I don't need to be in an echo chamber where we agree on everything but I lean toward the progressive and am not really here to have my mind changed. If we're just going to trigger each other, let's skip it.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I know it is increasingly rare but I am active in a very progressive Christian denomination. I do not try to recruit people but I do talk about my faith and church life sometimes, so if you will hate that then I am probably not for you. Also, because journaling is therapeutic for me I try to keep it separate from my "real life" both online and otherwise. Thus I use pseudos for the people I describe and am unlikely to want to expand our connection beyond DW (there have been exceptions). I identify as biromantic gray ace, meaning I am aesthetically/emotionally drawn to some people but sexuality is not a big part of who I am. I have long struggled to figure out where I "fit" because of this
Anything else? Where are my dudes at? Not limiting myself on the Friendzy would especially like to find more thoughtful, interesting guys to follow. If you have any suggestions from your flist who aren't on the friendzy, please let me know.

I left LJ during the first great exodus of 2009, but it's a bit lonely round here, I confess. My friending post is here.
