name: Meep age: 30something pronouns: she/her/æ/ær personality type: INFJ(?) - but more like the kind of person who will excitedly tell you about this book I read about Myers and Briggs and how capitalism uses personality typing to sort workers for greater efficiency! country: Japan (U.S.)
♦ spring is here!
Is it spring yet in your part of the world: Yes, in fact, it's almost (rainy season and then) summer! What's your favorite thing about spring: I love flowers! I post them under the hashtag #TokyoFlowerReport (but they don't show up on the search because my account is locked). Have you been doing any spring cleaning: Yes. I find it strange that, now that I'm in my mid-30s, I enjoy puttering around my apartment tidying up. It's an odd hobby but a soothing one and I wake up to a nice clean apartment in the morning! If comfortable sharing, any spring goals: I'm currently querying, sending my picture book manuscripts to agents and publishers. Cross your fingers for me, please! What are your likes or dislikes about spring: I like the nice weather and the flowers. I dislike being stuck indoors at work instead out out enjoying the season! Do you have any spring-based hobbies: The flower photos, like I mentioned, and taking long walks around Tokyo - but that's an "any time of the year [except summer]" hobby. Do you have a favorite flower: Ooh, impossible to pick just one! I like plum blossoms (winter), cherry blossoms (spring), and hydrangeas (summer)! Do you like being outdoors or prefer staying indoors: Hm, depends on the weather but I do feel better if I get outside sometimes, even for just a quick walk around the block. I feel bad if I stay indoors all day. … but I'm a city gal, not out in ~nature, you know? Do you have any spring-time (or in general) photos you'd like to share: Most of my accounts are friends only (tho I'm happy to add you there, too!) but I do have a public dollstagram account (American Girl, BJD, MJD, etc.), if you're into that…?
♦ friending and your journal
What qualities are you looking for in a friend: I look for the same qualities in my Dreamwidth friends as I do in any social situation: someone who is friendly and supportive and not an asshole. It's nice if we have some interests in common but it's not strictly necessary. How do you like to communicate: I leave comments occasionally and I like getting comments sometimes. Feel free to slide into my DMs or we can follow each other on other platforms, too. Do you do friend cuts? If so, how often: Not formally, no. Sometimes I've unfriended people if we don't vibe but I don't make a big deal about it. How often do you post: It depends: sometimes a few times a week, sometimes a few times a day. What do you post about: I mostly write about my daily life, which, lately, means writing about what I'm thinking or reading about because my day job is kind of boring. Is there anything you're not looking for: I'm probably not a good fit for a fandom (only) journal - I like hearing about other people's hobbies but I haven't kept up with fandom for over a decade and I won't be able to follow lots of meta, etc.
