Welcome to DW, LJ Defectors

General
Name/Nickname: rhombusb
Age or Age Group: 40s
Country: USA
Pronouns: she/her

You
Do you have any hobbies?: Crocheting, logic puzzles, and wasting time on the internet are my main ones. I'm trying to learn how to knit. I also like baking but don't do that as often as I'd like.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: I'm not sure how to answer this, so I will say beekeeping. I love the idea of it, but I'm too afraid of getting stung to give it serious thought.
Any dislikes?: Just the typical ones centered around inconsiderate people and inconvenient things.
Are you into fandom?: No, but it's okay if you are.
What does your day to day look like?: Wake up earlier than I want; get kids out the door; work; household chores; sit on my butt; tell myself I'm going to go to bed early; stay up another hour; go to bed
Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: The only thing I watch on live TV is "90 Day Fiance." It's my guilty pleasure. Streaming I tend to watch documentaries, murder shows, and those shows about people who live in remote places and/or off the grid.
What movies do you enjoy?: I'm not too picky when it comes to movies, but I tend to view movies as a chance to escape reality so I lean towards comedies.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Like board games? I'm not much for video games, but I'll play board games. My current favorites are Machi Koro, Catan, and Ticket to Ride. I think we own seven versions of TtR.
If you like to read, what do you read?: I'm embarrassed to admit how lax my book reading has become. That's a habit I need to give more attention to redeveloping. When I did a better job doing it I enjoyed memoirs.
What kind of music do you listen to?: Alternative is my favorite, but if I like it I don't care what genre it is.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: My life. My brain wanderings. Sometimes I think I come across more negative than I really am. Writing is a good way for me to work through my feelings and of course the feelings I need to work through are going to be the negative ones.
How often do you update?: Ideally twice a week, but lately it's been closer to once a week.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: I'm not picky. I don't need my friends to like everything I like or agree with everything I think, say, or do. I'm pretty laid back.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: I like to read about other people's lives. (Note that I answered "memoirs" in the reading section.)
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Not really. If there's someone I don't click with or I find myself always skipping their entries I will remove them from my feed. It's rare that this happens, but if it does it's nothing personal. I hold no hard feelings towards anyone who does the same to me. I will stress again that this is a rare scenario.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: Um, don't be a turd and we won't have any issues.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: Nothing pivotal. I don't post pictures often because, unless dw has made some improvements since I last tried, I find it very clunky to post pictures on here. Also, some basics that have not been previously covered: I'm married, have kids, and work an office job.

Anything else? I think it says a lot about me that this friendzy has been around two weeks and I'm just now getting to posting this.

Adding you. I like to crochet and used to keep bees (hope to again in the future).

Hi there! I got through some of this friending meme a couple weeks ago but just getting back to going through the rest and seeing who I think I might get along with. Here's my entry: https://friending-memes.dreamwidth.org/1083.html?thread=122171#cmt122171

Let me know if you'd like to be friends :)
