I am totally blind and use a screen reader. All of this html completely confused me and I had no idea how to fill this out that way, so I just copied the text portion and wrote next each one.
General
Name/Nickname: Georgiana is not my legal name, but it is what I use here. I also answer to Georgie or George.
Age or Age Group: Thirty-eight.
Country: America.
Pronouns: I am a masculine woman, but female nonetheless. She/her.
Hobbies and Interests
What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: I enjoy Grammar prescriptivism, studying dandyism, Upper Received Pronunciation, trying coffees, teas, and nasal snuffs, antique menswear (no feminine clothing or makeup), cooking and baking from scratch, nineteenth-century British literature (particularly silver fork novels), writing, and playing card, dice, and parlour games. I love wit, wordplay, and sarcastic humour without vulgarity, so can easily spend time bantering with friends. I also have a deep interest in high culture, such as good literature, theatre, classical music, opera (slowly learning about it), fine dining, French, history, art, etc.
Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: Yes, as much as I can. Some are easier than others.
Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it to become a job? I don't work. However, I could see some of these turning into very interesting careers.
what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: I am trying to publish Male and Female Costume by Beau Brummell, so that it is available freely online for everyone, but especially for the blind. I have created a curriculum based on the pre-1868 one of Eton College, along with my own self-taught and created courses. I also wish to adopt the writing style of the British upper class during the nineteenth century (real not from television), so that requires study and emulation. I also love being in the kitchen and creating new recipes.
Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into? I would like to know more about container gardening and various crafts.
If you're into collecting something, what is it?: Teas, snuffs, snuff boxes, cigarette lighters, and things from the Regency (real, not replicas).
Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: I have four such. Dandyism, snuff, tea, and grammar prescriptivism.
Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: High culture, dandyism, and antique menswear.
Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: It is very difficult to find a real dandy in 2021, particularly as a partner, though I have been fortunate enough to find two as friends. I have some friends who are interested in various aspects of high culture, so they are teaching and helping me, but I have no one with whom I could meet in person to play games, to go out for dinner or coffee, or to shop for clothing, or even to give me advice on the latter.
Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: Definitely both, though Some are more relaxing than others..
Do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? Definitely with someone, though I usually don't have a choice about that.
General Journaling How often do you post?: Usually daily. Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I post about most of them, as well as my life, my thoughts on dating and relationships, various things that come to mind, and poetry, when I am inspired to write it.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Basically all of the above. I like learning about people's lives.
Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: I'm not really sure what it is, to be honest. Is it fan fiction? If so, I don't post it, and probably couldn't relate to most of it, unless I've read the books in question. In any case, I like hearing about books that people read and enjoyed if our tastes are similar.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: I am not one for politics, political correctness, drama, lower class dialects, netspeak, or bad grammar (not silly typing mistakes), prosyletisation, or constant use of obscenities. I also don't understand depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem. Since I am blind, if you post only images, I cannot appreciate them.
