You
Do you have any hobbies?: Watching TV and movies, weight lifting and other exercising, cooking, video gaming, reading... Travelling and photography also used to be big things in my life but the past two years have managed to snuff those out of me for now. In the summer time I also run, cycle and swim a lot!
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: My cats, trying out different pizza topping combinations, checking out new restaurants and cafes, staying updated on the news, watching YouTube videos, listening to music (I wouldn't count it as a hobby because I don't just listen to music, I do it while I'm doing something else like working)...
Any dislikes?: War, conservatives, cruelty, bigotry, Covidiots, racism, and, well, the usual dislikes. Shitty people in general, I suppose. Loud gum chewers, the amount of snow and ice my city got this winter, and so on.
Are you into fandom?: Not really.
What does your day to day look like?: I wake up around 8:30, have breakfast with coffee and vitamin water, and watch a little bit of TV as I enjoy it. Then I'll work from home until noon after which I'll do my daily exercise, and then I'll have my lunch with the TV on again. Some days I'll continue to work after this, sometimes all the way until midnight or even past it, while on other days I'm all done with the day's work by noon. If it's the latter, I'll clean and read and watch TV until my partner gets home, then we'll game for 1-2 hours, and then we'll have a late dinner which we'll eat in separate rooms watching our own stuff. I go to bed once I start dozing off during whatever it is I'm watching.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: So many different shows! But here's a few examples: The Vampire Diaries, Two and a Half Men, The Haunting, The Blacklist, Supernatural, Revenge, Person of Interest, Lucifer, Hart of Dixie, Friends, Dynasty (2017 one), Dark Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 9-1-1.
What movies do you enjoy?: Once again, here are a few of my favorites: Scream, The Prestige, The Lord of the Rings, MCU, Inception, Marley & Me, Mission: Impossible, The Dark Knight, Before I Fall, Mr & Mrs Smith
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: I love both video games and board games. For board games, Clue is my all-time favorite. As for video games, I love old school games like Spyro, story-driven games like Until Dawn, and then of course Call of Duty.
If you like to read, what do you read?: Some of my favorite authors include Agatha Christie, Cecelia Ahern, Paulo Coelho, Sophie Kinsella, Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley, Riley Sager, Alice Feeney, Clare Mackintosh, and Ruth Ware.
What kind of music do you listen to?: So many different kind of genres, but here are a few of my favorite artists: BoA, Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, Ayumi Hamasaki, Daughtry, Christina Aguilera, Adam Lambert, James Blunt, FTISLAND, JoJo.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: The happenings in my life and the world around me, both in text and in photos.
How often do you update?: I'm aiming to post once every 3 days or so.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Someone with whom I can interact! Shared interests and life experiences are always a plus.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: I like to read about people's lives and opinions on the stuff they've watched or read or done lately. I'm also gaining interest in seeing people get political etc. in their journals.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: I'll happily give everyone a shot! However, I do expect to receive and give comments on each other's journals every now and then.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: Homophobia, transfobia, anti-vaxx stance, Putin supporter, never commenting or updating, and so on.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: My entries tend to get long no matter how hard I try to keep them summarized. I'm also not a perfect person and can sometimes react to things or come off as an asshole etc. But I try my best to be an active and supportive friend as well as to squeeze out my worst parts.

Anything else? I'm just hoping to make some new connections as a new journal here!
