You
Do you have any hobbies?: Travelling - I've lived abroad twice, and done a round the world trip. Listening to music and going to gigs, reading, writing, watching movies, TV, crochet and crafting.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: Feminism. True crime.
Any dislikes?: Bananas, spiders, bigotry. Much more I can't think of right now haha.
Are you into fandom?: No
What does your day to day look like?: Weekday - going to work! Weekend - hanging with my partner and cats, seeing friends.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: True crime documentaries, comedies and serious dramas. Favourite show of all time is Parks & Recreation.
What movies do you enjoy?: I like arty indie films mostly, also comedies and some action movies.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Yes, I like computer games like Sims, and also board/card games.
If you like to read, what do you read?: I like autobiographies and feminist literature, plus classic fiction.
What kind of music do you listen to?: All sorts! Mostly indie and alternative, but love a bit of pop too.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: Life goings on, mainly.
How often do you update?: Just joined DW from LJ and had got out of the habit of posting there - determined to start afresh with DW (made life-long and IRL friends via LJ!). I aim to post at least twice a month if not (hopefully) more.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Someone who engages, reads and comments, and has similar interest.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Life updates from other people.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Just that we have similar interests and/or friends in common.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: If someone is bigoted, we're not going to get on.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: Just that I'm getting back into journalling. If it's important for you that I update multiple times a week, I'm probably not the friend for you. But I love reading and commenting, and as I said before I am going to try and update at least twice a month if not more.

Anything else? No

I like writing, reading, watching movies and tv shows and oh The Sims too!

I do comment and read my flist/get to know people so that won't be a problem, friends?

Sure thing - I added you!

Hey there! We have a couple of common interests, like crocheting, crafting, feminist literature, and playing the Sims. I'm trying to build on my habit of posting here too and I find it always helps to have interesting folks to read about. Is it okay if I add you?

Definitely! Just added you 😊

Hi! I also just doing DW from LJ (created that one back in 2004) and I'm looking forward to starting fresh. We seem to have a few things in common. Add?

Sure! I just added you

Just added you back :)

We have some similar interests and ideals, add? :)

For sure, just added you!

Hi there, also into reading, writing, true crime, and living abroad ^_^ May I add you?

Sure, I have added you :)

Perhaps the influx of DW people, and this friending meme, will make you feel more engaged than LJ - which I also just started back up with, well I guess it's almost been a year now, and having interesting people to talk to and learn about their lives, and have their opinions on my shit... really makes all the difference. I need a certain sweet spot of interesting people, but not tooooo much or it feels overwhelming to read lol.

Here's my intro, if you're interested in being friends :) https://friending-memes.dreamwidth.org/1083.html?thread=122171#cmt122171

Hi I’ve added you. I spy Shirley Manson which Is always a good sign!!

Added you too! Shirley is kind of my hero, she is a lot more outspoken about social justice stuff and feminism and stuff like that than most musicians. I just love her.

Agreed! I’ve adored her since I was like 13 and she’s still amazing haha

Hi there, Emily! I'm also passionate about travelling and lived abroad for nearly a decade myself. How awesome you've done around the world trip, and twice no less! It's a big dream of mine to accomplish one day. Would you like to be friends on here, perhaps? Here are my answers for the survey, for your reference =)

Hey I’ve added you🙂

ayyy feminism and true crime! I'd like to add you, I mostly just post life updates. :)

Yes just added you 🙂

I would love to be your friend! Like you, I am into true crime and feminism and enjoy music and reading (I haven't been to a concert in way too long! :().
I am jealous of all the travelling and living abroad you got to do and I'd love to read about any future travels you do. Want to give it a try?

Sure! I have added you 🙂

I've lived abroad once (in London for three and a half years) and I've also done an around the world trip (in 2014).

Would you like to be friends?

My trip was in 2014 too! I just added you 😊
