General
Name/Nickname: Lydia
Age or Age Group: mid thirties
Country: Netherlands
Pronouns: she/her

You
Do you have any hobbies?: reading, watching movies, knitting, playing the ukulele
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: history, feminism, politics, general nerdery/geekery
Any dislikes?: bigots, injustice (yes I sound like a boring bluestocking, but honestly that's pretty much what I'm like in real life too, so *shrug*)
Are you into fandom?: not really. I read plenty of fanfic back in the day but have fallen out of it and fandom does not play in any role in my journal.
What does your day to day look like?: working (I'm a journalist for a niche publication), taking care of my kids (3 and 6 years old), reading a book, watching BBC, avoiding housework

Entertainment
I started filling this in but then scrapped the whole thing because I rarely post about this anyway. Except very rarely the books I read.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: my daily life, but not in a daily sense: the things that are different, the things I want to remember. How I'm feeling, how my kids are doing, the places we go. Also my husband, I just noticed I hadn't mentioned him yet. :') How I feel about world events.
How often do you update?: every one or two weeks. I generally average out around 4 entries a month.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: occassional commenting (definitely doesn't need to be every entry but don't be completely silent either), some sense of shared experiences and values (I like to read about people with kids in a similar age bracket, for example, and don't like right wing politics).
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Just what my friends are up to. Though you don't need to document every detail. I'm a busy working mom, sorry, so I tend to skim the very long entries.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Not really.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: If you're on the right wing of the political spectrum, anti vax, anti abortion, etc, we probably won't get along.

Anything else? I'd really like more DW friends from Europe.

Hi, I don't have kids and I am older than you, but I think we have similar views on stuff, would you like to be friends? (I am always happy to hear about other people's kids, it just didn't work out for me to have kids).

[luna_puella]

Sure! Kids are absolutely not a requirement, just an example of what I like to read about.

[iddewes]

Thanks! Pleased to meet you. :)

We seem to have quite a bit in common and I also have a 6 year old and my daughter turns 3 tomorrow.
Add? I'm not from Europe though, I'm from Mexico.

[luna_puella]

Yes, sounds good! :)

Hi there! I’m American but live in the UK (permanently unless something major and unexpected happens), into reading, knitting, nerdosity. I’m also a working writer (but for video games), and I have an (almost) 4 year old child. May I add you?

[luna_puella]

Yes, that sounds good! :)

[cruelladelaura]

Hi there, Lydia! I'd also love to make some more connections in Europe, I'm residing in Finland myself. Would you like to be friends? Here are my answers to the survey.

[luna_puella]

Sure! I've added you :)
