General
Name/Nickname: Bec / becofoz
Age or Age Group: Early 40s
Country: Australia
Pronouns: She/Her

You
Do you have any hobbies?: A few - photography, playing French horn (or trying to...) in a community concert band (I also play flute but concentrating on the horn at the moment), reading - I'm sure there are more.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: My friend and I have been doing the virtual challenge races, where you get a medal at the end of completing a certain distance. I've slacked off a bit this year so need to pick up the pace.
Any dislikes?: Where do I even start (I won't)
Are you into fandom?: No. I mean, I have things I like but I'm not into fandoms.
What does your day to day look like?: I'm still working from home mostly so on the days I'm at home it's roll out of bed, log on to work and then work (often forgetting to have my lunch break). On the days I'm in the office I usually leave home at 7.30am and don't get home until about 6pm. Days in the office are often spent getting frustrated because I get interrupted so much. Tuesday nights is band rehearsal. Weekends are usually spent catching up with my friend.

Entertainment
What do you like to watch?: I don't watch much current TV. I have a plethora of streaming services and yet still go back to old favourites like Castle and Psych.
What movies do you enjoy?: It's been so long since I've been to the movies. Old favourites include The Wizard of Oz, The Goonies, Anne of Green Gables.
Do you play games? If so, what do you like?: My friends and I occasionally have games nights, although the last one was pre-pandemic. Usually on rotation is Ticket to Ride, Codenames, Tsuro, Karmaka, Incan Gold.
If you like to read, what do you read?: I love to read and usually read crime/mystery/thrillers (including cosy mysteries).
What kind of music do you listen to?: I listen to a lot of classical. Cast recordings from musicals. Robbie Williams. The Boy Least Likely To.

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: My every day life. A lot of work rants. I'm doing a photography 365 project (have been doing one a year since 2013) and I post those photos once a week. I talk about my family. My friends. My crazy kitties. I'm attempting to keep up my one second everyday, which I post monthly.
How often do you update?: At least once or twice a week.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: I'm not too fussed. Comments are nice every so often but as I'm not the greatest at commenting I can't really talk.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: I like to read about daily life. Adventures. Hobbies. Photos are great.
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: Just the usual. Don't be a dick. No anti-vaxxers, no Trump supporters, all the usual -isms (and I would hope it would be pointed out to me if I was unintentionally doing anything to offend anyone along those lines).
Do you have any deal-breakers?: See above.
Is there anything others should know before friending?: Nope.

Anything else? Nope :)

Hey there, I love reading and your mention of cosy mysteries caught my eye as well as your 365 project. I think your journal would be fun to read, is it okay if I add you?

[becofoz]

Sure thing :)

Days in the office are often spent getting frustrated because I get interrupted so much.

Just going back this week and DREADING it. I discovered my inner introvert during the past few years and now I'm like "Peeee-pul!!!" *runs*

[becofoz]

Oh, I've always disliked the office but now having the luxury to work from home I dislike it even more. People interrupt me even when I'm wearing my headphones and have my resting bitch face on (of which I'm good at...).

We have a few things in common, including crazy kitties, I have two :) They're not that crazy though, they're 11 1/2 now. I should probably post more kitty pics in my journal lol. Here's my intro, if you'd like to be friends: https://friending-memes.dreamwidth.org/1083.html?thread=122171#cmt122171

[becofoz]

Sure thing :)

you sound interesting to me. I play the clarinet and have been thinking about joining the community band here. I also would love to have a group of friends to do board game nights with or fitness challenges with. and Goonies of course, is a classic. never say die. be my friend?

[becofoz]

Sure thing :)

And now I feel like I need to watch The Goonies.

Hello, I’m new to DW (long time LJer) and I think your journal would be fun to read, would you mind if I added you?

[becofoz]

Sure thing. I've only just recently made the switch from LJ as well.
