[dirtygreatknife]

General
Name/Nickname: Star.
Age or Age Group: Far too close to 50!
Country: Australia.
Pronouns: She/her.

You
Do you have any hobbies?: Let's see if I remember them all. Writing, reading, TV, films, music, weaving, junk journal making, cooking, gardening, thrift shopping, cafes, markets, fairs, dinners, live gigs, penpaling. Some of these are not as frequent as they were, but I am hoping to get back into them.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: SLEEP.
Any dislikes?: Hatred, predjudice, far right wingness, Nazis, anti-science. Also tomatoes and okra.
Are you into fandom?: Not these days.
What does your day to day look like?: I get up, get dressed, have breakfast and check email, make sure my cat is fed and watered. Do what needs to be done in the house, if I have a medical appointment, go to that, or I sit outside with a pair of my elderly neighbors and chat. Have some lunch, keep going on my day, then have dinner, after dinner watch some TV, or YouTube, or Netflix, then go to bed. Reading may happen in there somewhere too. There is little structure. I have several health issues, one of them is chronic depression, so that determines a lot of what happens/doesn't happen.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?:Whatever catches my interest on free to air TV, YouTube or Netflix. I love The Witcher, foreign TV shows, and I follow some true crime YouTubers who I find fascinating. Babylon 5 will always be my #1 love.
What movies do you enjoy?: Sci-fi, fantasy, Marvel, some action films.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: Only Mahjong on the laptop.
If you like to read, what do you read?: Sci-fi, fantasy, some mysteries, paranormal, weird fiction, not-originally-in-English fiction, historical non-fiction.
What kind of music do you listen to?: I'm still in the late 80s and early 90s. So punk rock, hardcore, symphonic metal, folk metal, melodic metal, some black/death metal, rock, hard rock. Also classical piano.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: Whatever is going on in my life at the given moment. Also I'll talk about things going on politically in my country and things happening in the world.
How often do you update?: Once every week or so, hoping to post more often.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: Someone who posts what they like, when they like? I don't think that's for me to say. Your journal is yours, not for me to tell you how to post!
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Life! The universe! And everything!
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Don't be a dick! Seriously, though, I'm pretty easygoing.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: No far righters or anti-vaxxers, anti-Coviders. I have no sufferance for that, or for racism, homophobia, classism, or trying to tell me what to do, that sort of unasked for advice type thing.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: I have a cat, I love her, she's my bestie. Also the tiniest cat I've ever had!



Anything else? Shadow.

I'm the owner of a very tiny cat as well <333. Here's my Silvestre: https://i.imgur.com/R6CQ6Dg.jpg

I write about pretty much everything as well :33 and we share some common interests1 Would you like being friends?

[dirtygreatknife]

Awww. Your Silvestre is adorable. Yes! Adding you now. :)

[dissolved_girl]

You sound awesome and anyone that has a black cat is a friend of mine (I have two). Friends?

[dirtygreatknife]

I love black cats. Friends for sure. Adding you now.

[days_unfolding]

I also have cats and am interested in writing, music, and thrift shopping. Is it on at if I add you?

[dirtygreatknife]

Absolutely! Adding you now.

[thenerdygirl]

I wish I had thought of adding sleep as an interest because I'm also very interested in sleep. I chuckled when I read that and I liked everything else I read too. Would it be cool if I added you?

[dirtygreatknife]

Sleep is very important to my existence! Absolutely, adding you now.

[smallrobot]

You seem like a nice and open-minded person with an interesting journal (from what I can imagine) and I love the animal picture in your profile. I certainly can relate to the depression and sleep as a hobby part, lol. My own journal is a mix betwen fandom and day-to-day life, I have a bit of a one-track mind when it comes to hobbies and special interests, so I occasionally tend to post about niche subjects. I've given you access so you can see if you'd like to be friends, but no pressure! ^^

[dirtygreatknife]

Heh, I hope it's interesting! I've added you back, I think we'll get along fine. :)

[flowersforgraves]

Hope you don't mind I'm adding you! My own comment for the meme is here if you want to see if you think we'd get along.

[dirtygreatknife]

Added you back!

[kadenza]

Far too close to 50ish weaver here! Hope you don’t mind if I add you… :)

[dirtygreatknife]

Not at all. Added you back!

[liriaen]

Good to find a fellow listener of black/death etc metal... :D
In case you're interested: here's more about me: here and here :D)

[dirtygreatknife]

Excellent, I added you back!

[dr_zook]

Excellent friending policy! :D Your music taste sounds right up my alley, just like your choices of entertainment.

My friending meme post is here-- although I really like okra. ;)

[dirtygreatknife]

Why thank you! And I've added you back. :)

[dr_zook]

Excellent! Nice to meet you. :D

Cat people are the best people. I added you to my circle.
