General
Name/Nickname: Jo
Age or Age Group: late 50s
Country: Canada
Pronouns: I love all pronouns, they are very useful when writing things. My most used ones are I, me and mine.

You
Do you have any hobbies?: Reading, yoga, watching TV (so, not really?)
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: Reading, yoga, watching TV (honestly -- don't know if these things are hobbies or interests).
Any dislikes?: Loads? But I can't be arsed to list them all?
Are you into fandom?: I am a fan of many shows, as in, happy to talk about them with others, but I don't do fandom stuff.
What does your day to day look like?: Monday to Friday, I am at work. For the past 2+ years, that has been mostly from home, but I now go in three days a week (M-W) and work from home Th and F. The weekends are generally uneventful -- chores, catching up on household things.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: Police procedurals (esp. British), science fiction, some dramas. Not so much into sitcoms because I rarely find them very funny. My list of fave shows is really too long to even try to get into. Currently thrilled that Outlander is back with season 6. I will pretty much check out any show that the Guardian gives a rating of 4 or more stars.
What movies do you enjoy?: Not a big movie person.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Not really. I have a couple on my phone that I will play when I have time to kill (e.g. waiting for an appointment), once in a blue moon I may play Civ on the computer, but haven't in eons.
If you like to read, what do you read?: Mostly police procedurals (esp. by British authors) and science fiction.
What kind of music do you listen to?: Mostly stuff from the 1960s to the 80s. Some more recent stuff (recent meaning 1990s-early 2000s). Totally clueless about anything current.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: Just day to day stuff mostly. So, not very exciting.
How often do you update?: Pretty much daily.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: People who post regularly. If you're "just trying to get back into journalling", maybe don't add me. I've had enough of people who post once, and then disappear for 6 months (or longer).
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Your day-to-day stuff, interesting opinions on issues. I don't get into political stuff myself because my job requires me to be politically neutral, but I can live vicariously through other people opinionating about things.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: My journal is 99% Friends Only, so I will grant you access so you can have a look at what I post. If not your cup of tea, that's fine.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: I am not into fandom stuff, so if you mostly post about that, meh. Also not keen on posts that are mostly photos/memes/gifs, etc. Or if your posts are basically tweets (e.g. one sentence announcing you've just had a cup of tea, end of.).
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I am not a serial commentor. I do try to comment when I believe I have something to contribute. Also, it sometimes takes me some time to get a sense of who you are before I feel comfortable wading in with comments.

Anything else? I've been on DW as my base for at least 5-6 years now, and was cross-posting to LJ. I'm still manually posting my DW posts over there, but almost everyone from there has moved here now, except for a couple of people, so I am not sure if I will keep doing that much longer.

Hullo! I feel like I recognize your username - I'm sure we have crossed paths over on LJ at some point! I will add you and we can see how we get on?

[jo]

Yes, we had friended each other here in a previous "frenzy" pre-Covid, and then a year or so ago I realised after some time of not seeing any posts from you in awhile, that you had unfriended me at some point. I figured my journal was either too dull, or I had inadvertently said something that pissed you off. Am willing to try again if you want.

Hello, may I add you? I am just getting started here but have been blogging for over 20 years, so I won't be someone who suddenly disappears after each post. We have some stuff in common (reading, work from home, etc), and probably some differences too, but that's ok with me if it is with you!

[jo]

Sure! Have given you access.

[belleweather]

Hello! I think we might get on as friends. Shall we try?

[jo]

I've granted you access!

Hi, I like to know how life is “out there where I am not”, so, daily life things. That’s what I write about too. Sometimes about books I read. Would you mind if i added you?

[jo]

Hi there! I've granted you access.
