You
Do you have any hobbies?: Not particularly!
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: Anything related to culture - books, museums, galleries, theatre, historical documentaries, live music, you name it. Exploring both familiar and new places. Yoga. Going on long walks. Meals, drinks and coffee with friends. Occasionally playing with my Super Nintendo Mini (ah, 90s nostalgia).
Any dislikes?: Racism, xenophobia, homophobia, narrow-mindedness, arrogance..basically, don't be a shit human being.
Are you into fandom?: Nope.
What does your day to day look like?: On most days I wake up, either go to the office or set up my working station in my living room (we still have a hybrid work pattern), have lunch, go for a walk, work some more, if I'm in the office I might meet friends or my partner after work or if I go back home I relax a bit, cook dinner, eat dinner with my flatmate, read a book in bed, sleep like a log and repeat the next day. Pretty exciting stuff, eh?

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: I don't watch a lot of TV or TV series, but when I do it's usually historical documentaries, period drama or a good thriller.
What movies do you enjoy?: As above - mostly historical stuff and thrillers.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: I'm not a gamer but I do like my mini Super Nintendo! I also quite like board games sometimes.
If you like to read, what do you read?: I LOVE to read - historical fiction, crime, gothic literature, so-called literary fiction (not sure I quite like the term though)...it's easier to say what I don't read, which is mostly sci-fi and fantasy.
What kind of music do you listen to?: A bit of everything really - rock, indie rock, pop, jazz, blues. For most of my teenage years and 20s my favourite band was Muse, although I'm not super into their most recent stuff.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: My life really - daily life, work (I'm one of the lucky people who absolutely love what they do), thoughts, people in my life.
How often do you update?: Several times a week.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Genuine interaction (which doesn't mean comments on every post, I don't expect that at all), shared interests/value, respect.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: People's lives, as simple as that.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Not really, just let me know who you are if you add me. I do sometimes remove people if we haven't clicked or never really interact and I'm not offended if people do the same.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: See dislikes...Also, I'm not really into fandom so if you post almost exclusively about that it's likely we won't have much in common.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I live in the UK but I'm originally from Italy (so I should also add - if you voted Brexit, we most likely won't get on...). I work as a fundraiser for a cultural organisation - an important detail because I'm truly passionate about what I do and I talk about it a fair bit in my journal. I had my journal for over 16 years, it's been a fantastic window into different ways of living and thinking that really changed my perspective on the world, and I've truly made friends for life through it. So yes, I really do value it!

Anything else? I think that's it!
