I just checked your journal and I saw the sweater! I like your projects :D
I'm lazy and I just sew sweaters using fabric I buy... XD

[sabethea]

Hi, you sound nice, may I friend you? I can’t check out your addme post because I’m not a member of the community though…

[evenstar]

Oh, how awesome for you! :D Are you going to any place in Aus in particular? Also, you seem just lovely; I definitely would love to add you!

[sabethea]

Hello, I would like to friend you. My posts are currently fairly grim and boring (full of death and tmi about my gut issues but they’re behind a cut) but I’m more cheerful than that makes me seem, honest.

[evenstar]

I love that too! People enjoying stuff warms my heart ♥
Right right? ♥ Even if I have next to NO idea what my friends are fangirling, I just love to see it all the same. (And it's lead to some really fun discoveries, no less!)

YESSS, you are so right!
I only just realised yesterday how often the two go hand-in-hand and just...ugh. No. The less of it in the world, SO much the better.

I'd love to add you! You sound pretty dang cool to me :D

[sabethea]

Hello, you seem interesting, can we be friends?

[evenstar]

It's a fantastic suggestion, I can't recommended it enough -- four days (in Australian time, haha living in the future ftw~) into the New Year and it's SO much less stressful XD But not at all, add away! You seem most groovy so I'll be adding you too ♥

Re: Thoughts

[evenstar]

Thank you for the tutorials! I'll have to see if I can make them work or not. (I have an issue with nerve damage, so my hands sometimes just simply refuse to do what I want them to, which I think is, sadly, the main problem with my attempts to knit...but it can't hurt to try again, surely!)

And "static responsive webdesign" is just making static sites (think the everyday personal hobbyist sites that are hopefully going through a bit of a renaissance at the moment) that will look good and most importantly, be accessible on any screen resolution at all, be it on a phone or a desktop. Personal sites that have a "eh, I don't care if it looks crap on your screen, it looks fine on mine" attitude are absolute poison for my migraine-prone eyes/head and just smack of laziness (if not unintentional ableism) to me, so I'm really quite passionate about making it A Thing ♥

[ex_flameandsong751]

Hi, I added you, welcome!

[sabethea]

Hello, you sound fun, would you like to be friends?

[ex_flameandsong751]

Same, haha, and I just added you! Welcome!

[ex_flameandsong751]

Hi, I just added you! [As an aside I'm pretty immune to TMI, my mom was a nurse and constantly had horror stories, and I have my own health issues so... yeah, I doubt anything you say will make me run screaming.]

[sabethea]

Hello, you sound interesting, may I add you please?

Re: I didn't plan on taking part, but I couldn't resist ;)

[sabethea]

Hiya, you sound splendid, may I friend you please?

[sabethea]

Thats fortunate, because (possibly due to autism or possibly just due to years of health issues and whatever) I just tend to give all the information. I’ve never been very good at knowing where boundaries are, but even when I’m aware of them, sometimes I just either need to break them for my own sanity or I think it’s important or useful for other people. (Like, with gut issues, loads of people have them and feel alone because no one wants to talk about it, soooo… I’m talking about it.)

[ex_flameandsong751]

I have gut issues. I have a whole host of physical body issues and mental health issues, and I for one appreciate knowing I'm not alone over here in GI Tract Hell.

[sabethea]

Ugh, I hear you. *is in same boat re lovely laundry list of illnesses*
*solidarity fist bump*

[moonreviews]

Can I add you? I also manage a book club (online), am in a choir, and I like travelling when possible :)

[moonreviews]

I think like an "ee" as in "seen" ?
I've never seen it as a pronoun before either.

Hello! I just eyezoomed so hard on your fandom list: Rivers of London is also one of my main current fandoms, and we overlap in a few past fandoms (ASOIAF and GenKill). I've only read a few of KJ Charles's books but several more are on my to-read list. I've subscribed to your journal - hope that's okay! :)

[falena]

Oh man, having someone to talk Rivers of London with (and KJ Charles too, she's steadily climbed on top of my favourite authors in the past couple of years) would be awesome. I'll subscribe and grant access too, since I post mostly locked, okay?

I've just done a big re-listen of my fave Gen Kill fics via podfic and also started a re-read of my all-time fave in that fandom. The quality of fic in GK fandom was just out of this world.

[rigormorphis]

I'll subscribe and grant access too, since I post mostly locked, okay?

Sounds good to me. I'll grant access as well in that case. I tend to do so automatically (because my reasons for locking or not-locking are pretty arbitrary) but I worried it might seem presumptuous or something - that's social anxiety for you, I guess!

The quality of fic in GK fandom was just out of this world.

Wasn't it? Just thinking about this makes me want to reread some of my own old faves. It was such a good fandom for just settling down and sinking your teeth into a fic!

[pianogurl330]

Of course! Adding you now! :)

[pianogurl330]

I'm loving Bob's Burgers right now and I still need to play Pokemon Violet more. We also have some mutuals in common. Would you like to be friends?

[senmut]

YES!
