General
Age or Age Group: 42
Country: US
Pronouns: she/her

You
Do you have any hobbies?: Gardening, fiber crafts, occasionally sewing, yoga
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: Parenting. :D
Any dislikes?: Lots, but that doesn't usually make a difference in DW friendship!
Are you into fandom?: Ew no.
What does your day to day look like?: Remote work, homeschool, mom stuff, maybe yardwork - and adventures on the weekends when we can swing it.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: I can't get into TV shows or movies usually; YouTube sometimes (DIY, travel, etc)
What movies do you enjoy?: Again, I don't watch 'em regularly, but I like
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Video games? Occasionally WoW with my husband. Board games? Stuff that my 6-year-old can play too.
If you like to read, what do you read?: I don't read enough lately...
What kind of music do you listen to?: Classic rock, oldies, 80s and 90s, showtunes, classical, a smattering of most anything but never country and very little rap or current pop.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: I'm trying to get back into posting after a hiatus of a few years. Just what's going on in my life and what I think about it.
How often do you update?: The plan is a couple of times a week.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Someone who shares similar likes, someone who's positive and sincere, and is relatively active.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Other people's lives and what they're thinking!
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Not really...
Do you have any deal-breakers?: Well - I'm a left-leaning atheist who knows the pandemic isn't over yet. I can get along with people who don't agree with me, sometimes, but if you're actively right-leaning or religious, we probably won't enjoy reading each other's journals.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I'm trying my best to get back into the journaling world, so bear with my as I figure out my commitment to it!

Anything else? I was an early adopter of Livejournal back in 2001, and really enjoyed the relationships I fostered back then; I met my husband there and I still keep in contact with a few old LJ friends via other social media. I'm hoping that though online journals like this aren't enjoying the kind of heyday they did 20 years ago, that I can find a community of lovely people like I did then!

I could've written your answer to "anything else?" except I wasn't an early adopter (joined LJ in 2004).
We seem to have a few things in common! Add? My answers are a few comments below.

Hi! Also into gardening, knitting, being a parent. May I add you? ^_^

[nipperkin]

Yes! :)

I think we might get on as friends -- I'm a once and future homeschooling mom, also do fiber arts.

[nipperkin]

Yay! Let's try it out!
