The Basics Name: Nicole Age: 37 Pronouns: She/Her Country: USA
The New Year Do you have any resolutions?: I'm still working on those. I'd like to be fitter, to read more, and to pick a career goal. To be honest I'm really struggling with figuring out what I feel like I have the mental capacity, energy, and time for, and don't want to set myself up for failure. Are there any new books, music, games, shows, etc. that you want to dive into?: None as of yet... Well, there are books but step one is I want to get back into getting books from the library. Are there any small or big events that you're planning for this year?: No, not that I recall, other than my daughter's first birthday (and my son's THIRD, good grief.) Any new interests/hobbies that you'd like to try out?: I need to find some sort of exercise hobby, or a hobby that requires physical movement. Otherwise, in terms of interest: I'm interested in learning ASL. Did you accomplish your resolutions from last year?: (If not, that's okay. Just skip this one) I ... can't see that I made any new years resolutions last year... I normally put them into my online journal but can't find them if I did! So... I'm going to go with both NO and YES, because I can't fail to accomplish something I might not have done? Haha. What were your favorite memories from the past year?: My daughter's birth. Growing as a family. Do you have any new years traditions?: My only traditions are that we open the front and back doors to welcome in the new year and kick out the old, and we try to be mindful of the superstition that what we do the first day will influence the rest of the year. I try to stay awake, but I know there's been years where I've said "eff it" and gone to bed, haha. Is there anything you'd like to do more of in 2023?: I'd like to read more books for FUN.
The New Friends What kind of friend(s) are you searching for?: I like people who post about their lives, what they're up to and thinking... I'm a nosy person, I guess. What do you like to read about?: See above. How often do you check your friends feed?: I try to check daily, though on weekends I tend to be off my computer. Do you have any deal-breakers?: I'm anti-racist, pro-choice, feminist, gender equal rights advocate and generally try to stand for all persons to be treated with respect and to be given the freedom to live their lives in a way that makes them happy. If you have an issue with that, then we will not get along. Do you mind reading about fandom?: It's not my thing, but if it makes you happy I don't mind! I just might not be able to follow along. If so, what fandoms would you like to read about?:
Currently... Reading: I've been slowly making my way through all the Terry Pratchett books (I mean ALL) Watching: I'm on a loop of watching documentaries headed up by Lucy Worsley, Tony Robinson, and Mary Beard, as well as the farming series with Ruth Goodman, Peter and... that other guy whos name escapes me, lol. Also enjoy: Rome, 1995 Pride and Prejudice, Psych, All Creatures Great and Small (PBS) Playing: I'd like to get back into playing the violin and learn the piano (someday). Thinking about: Finances. We have two kids in daycare and... ouch. Hobby/Interest: Knitting, Weaving, Crochet, Cross stitch. I aspire to learn to water color (someday) and get back into sketching (someday). Planning for: Ohhh, I don't know. More projects around our house & land (we live on five acres). Forever planning upgrades to those. This year we'd like to get a playground built for our kids.
