The Basics Name: I go by Strix on here Age: 53 Pronouns: He/him/his Country: USA
The New Year Do you have any resolutions?: Apple watch seems to think so... keep trying to get leaner, stronger, wiser, kinder Are there any new books, music, games, shows, etc. that you want to dive into?: I have a book backlog of stuff I'm supposed to have read already, haven't thought beyond that. Would like to see through the end of Atypical and The Kominsky Method (shows you how current I am with TV) and am intrigued by Letterkenny Problems. The first new Gaslight Anthem album in almost eight years is high on my can't-wait list. Are there any small or big events that you're planning for this year?: Traveling to Puerto Rico next month Any new interests/hobbies that you'd like to try out?: Supposed to try ziplining but that's not really a hobby. Finally picking up my late father-out-law's guitar. Otherwise back into playing the piano, accomplishing a muscle-up. Did you accomplish your resolutions from last year?: I think my only resolution from last year was "survive" so ... done! What were your favorite memories from the past year?: Decorating for Christmas with my folks and sister, the surprise Gaslight Anthem show at my favorite (very small) venue Do you have any new years traditions?: No, not really. Is there anything you'd like to do more of in 2023?: See more bands! (Went from 75 live shows in 2019 to... six in 2020 and still recovering), get my backyard deck project completed, spend more time outside.
The New Friends What kind of friend(s) are you searching for?: People who are looking for genuine connections vs. a fan base, who will comment and reply to comments in a way that suggest they are actually reading. What do you like to read about?: Your life, relationships with others, interests, daydreams. How often do you check your friends feed?: Every 1-2 days Do you have any deal-breakers?: I am a progressive/centrist, not interested in arguing about politics on here but if you have views that I will likely find intolerant we are probably not a good match. For reasons of discretion I will be more likely to engage with posts that are friends-locked. Do you mind reading about fandom?: In small doses If so, what fandoms would you like to read about?: I'm willing to learn about anything in theory, but I don't know or care much about most TV/movies/RPGs so I am not very likely to engage with posts about those things
Currently... Reading:Jesus and the DisinheritedWaking Up White by Debby Irving, Reading the Bible from the Margins by Miguel A. De La Torre. These are all books I am reading for church-related work that I do. Watching: Not a TV or movie person Playing: Not a gamer Thinking about: What a rare odd unicorn I seem to be on this site Hobby/Interest: Rock and punk music, weightlifting, camping & hiking, kayaking/SUP, drawing & digital editing, writing fiction, my small, progressive and very nerdy church Planning for: Puerto Rico trip
GENERAL ABOUT ME: I am a middle-aged gray-ace dude (mostly but not exclusively dude-oriented from an aesthetic perspective). Yes I am a church person but I will not preach at you, I talk about it more in the context of the work and interactions therein.
