[personal profile] aoi_haru posting in [community profile] addme


Name:
Anton or Antonio. It's not my real name. Not only because of privacy, but also because my real name is kind of ridiculous.




Age:
I'm a teenager. Close to being of legal age in the Philippines. That may be a turn-off because I believe most users here are adults, but I suppose it doesn't matter. Can't control that now, can I?

It's fine, though. I think a respectable adult would be wary of interacting with a teenager. I should be wary of interacting with adults too.




My hobbies are:
Watching early 1980s to late 2000s Japanese movies. Bookbinding and making proxy cards are also a thing. I like to refurbish and collect old tech too.




I mostly post about:
I'll probably just post what's going on with my life, my opinions on certain things, posts about repairing tech, talking about tech, etc.

And I'm currently waiting for my Xperia X10 just so I can maybe post things in a video format.

Why? Well, why not?




My fandoms are:
I don't think I involve myself in any fandoms, to be honest. It can be a toxic place, and I'm trying to remove any toxicity in my life.

I can be a fan of things, but my interests change every few business days.




I'm looking to meet people who:

Anyone who wants to talk to me, I guess. Though if you're a significantly older adult, I might not interact with you. Just for my safety.

Also, I want to talk casually about deep things. I can't go and write a whole thesis, but we can still talk about deep things.

What are those deep things? I'm not sure. Media critiques maybe?




My posting schedule tends to be the following:

Sporadic, maybe? I don't really want to confine myself to a strict schedule because that would take the fun out of being here.




When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

If you're right-wing or have right-wing ideologies, then I will not talk to you in any way.

And if you interact with the looksmaxxing community or even tolerate them, then I refuse to talk to you.

Incels and bigots are NOT welcome.




Before adding me, you should know:
I can be a bit blunt. That's the first thing to know about me.

I don't think I'm those "brutally honest" people, but I can be a bit socially inept. Which is why I use blunt words like "virgin", "sex", etc.

It's easier to be straightforward than to sugarcoat words since sugarcoated words confuse me.

I'm also very opinionated, and I might use curse words too to emphasize meaning.

I'm a Catholic too if that's relevant.

I'm okay with anyone's beliefs but would rather not debate them. I'm a bit sensitive to that.

Is there an interesting story behind your username?
Not really, it's actually very mundane. "Llum de Lluna" means "Moonlight" in catalan (I live in Catalonia, Spain). I have always been fascinated by the moon, the night, the stars... so I decided to get this username. 

Location and language(s):I live in a small town close to Barcelona, in the North East of Spain.My journal entries are always in English,but in my daily life I use mostly Catalan, or Spanish. Since English is not my first language sometimes my phrases might sounds weird, so I apologize in advance for that.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): mid 40s. (I feel much younger, but I also feel it's a cliché thing to say because everybody I talk to says they feel younger).

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and other forms of discrimination are unwelcome in my journal. I value people who are respectful and open-minded, and I like to treat others with dignity, regardless of their background, identity, or beliefs.

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? I have an about me post linked in my journal, but only people I add as friends have access to it because it contains personal information.

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Yes, it's up to date and it gives basic information about who I am and about my interests.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: Don't expect fandom in my journal. While I watch several TV shows, I play videogames and I love movies, I don't really post about fandoms, and I rarelly comment on fandom posts. 

You mostly write about: I mostly post about daily life, about all those random mundane things that make life beautiful. I always try to add a photo to my post, because I like to keep things visual. You'll also notice that I talk a lot about the change of seasons, because I love to see nature change through the year, and enjoy all the little pleasures that go with each season. 

You never or very rarely write about: Fandoms. Sometimes I share what I am reading, or a movie/TV show I watched, but not from the fandom point of view. I never post or read fanfic, either.

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? All my entries are locked.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? Not right now, but I am thinking about adding some, mostly for more sensitive topics, or topics that could be a trigger.

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): I try to post several times per week. Unless I go through a rough phase and this is not possible.

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Photos, I try to add a photo to each of my posts (to give it a visual context).

What do you enjoy most about journaling? The people I meet along the way. While I like to keep records of things that happen to me for future reference, I mostly enjoy reading about what is going on in other people's life. I think that the kind of connection we can get in places like this is so much better than what you get in social media these days. In here you get to really know people and what their life is without filters, or at least, with a lot less filters. I truly value that, and to me this is better than any instagram post.

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?  try to read and comment daily, or almost daily. 

You really enjoy reading about: Daily stuff, even when it's just routine. I love to read about the "mundane" life of others, which to me are not mundane at all. I find comfort in routine.

You have very little interest in reading about: Fandoms. I already mentioned that.

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? If they also share stuff about their life or about themselves I don't mind that people post memes or similar.

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? I don't expect that people read and comment on all my posts, that would be unrealistic and selfish. I like to know that people who follow me are interested in at least some of my posts, and that they comment in a more or less regular basis, mostly because it helps to create a connection. 

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? I do regular purges, and if I see that somebody's journal have been innactive for months and they haven't commented in months in mine either, then I usually unfriend. I'm always open to friend back if they come back later, tho.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? It's one of the main reasons why I am here (interaction). I like to read what others post, and I like to comment when it's possible, even if it's just to say that I read the post. Obviously sometimes I don't know what to say or have nothing to say and I won't comment, but I like to keep the communication biderectional.

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? It depends on the person and the circumstances. I think we have all unfriended somebody without a note, after years of journaling this happens (and it has happened to me as well). I really don't have a protocol, I think each case is different. I try to be fair.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general? Not really a favorite, or at least not one that stands out or that I post about all the time. I love to watch TV shows and movies, I love to read graphic novels, and I love to play videogames on the PC. I'm very open on the pop culture front, but I don't have specific fandoms I post about.

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? I have been journaling for ages (since around 2002 or so). I was in LJ back then, and my username in there was "polvodestrella". If that username rings a bell to you, let me know, I lost touch with a lot of people I had in my flist in there, and I am sad about that.

Is there an interesting story behind your username?

It's a native wildflower in my area. I like native plants, bees, hummingbirds, herbal medicine, and things that make ecosystems stronger. Seemed like a solid choice.



Location and language(s):

East Tennessee. English. Some very broken Spanish and Mvskoke.



Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):

Mid 30s.



Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:

Bigotry, cruelty, and people who think compassion is a weakness. I don't mind disagreement but I do mind dehumanizing people. If you don't get the difference, we likely won't click.



Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.?

Yep, it is stickied at the top for people I've given access to.



Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful?

Useful enough. I try to keep my interests list detailed enough so people can find me through those.



List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:

I'm a gay woman from Appalachia. I'm autistic. I grew up in a very diverse family and am an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe. I'm a caregiver. My family and community feature heavily in my writing. I care a lot about community, mutual aid, stewardship, and making the world a little easier for other people to survive in.



You mostly write about:

Whatever is happening in my life. Family, caregiving, health stuff, road trips, nature, local history, community work, funny stories, grief, joy, and the occasional adventure that starts with "so I had this idea..."



You never or very rarely write about:

Fandom, celebrity gossip, influencer culture, or detailed reviews of media.



Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?

Mostly locked.



Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)?

Nope but I will put heavier things behind a cut if I think they're potentially triggering.



Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):

A few times a week on average. Sometimes more, sometimes less.



Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?

Photos occasionally. Memes when I find one funny or interesting enough. Otherwise not much.



What do you enjoy most about journaling?

The people. I like watching friendships develop over years through the accumulation of ordinary life.



How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?

Most days.



You really enjoy reading about:

People's actual lives. Family stories, hobbies, gardens, pets, community projects, travel, local culture, weird niche interests, personal growth, and whatever someone is genuinely passionate about.



You have very little interest in reading about:

Rage bait, influencer culture, and people trying to build a personal brand.



Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?

A little of anything is fine. If your journal is mostly reposted content and very little "you," I probably won't connect with it as much.



When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity?

Quality, easily.



Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?

Nope. Comments are always appreciated but never required.



What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?

I comment when I have something genuine to say. Sometimes that's often, sometimes it isn't. I don't keep score and I don't expect anyone else to either.



When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances?

I don't take online friending particularly personally. Sometimes people click, sometimes they don't. No hard feelings.



AND LASTLY



Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general?

Not really. I might occasionally mention books, movies, podcasts, or documentaries, but my journal is much more about life than media.



Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?

I'm much more interested in who people are than whether we have all the same interests. If you're kind, curious, and write about your actual life, we'll probably find something to talk about.

Name: I go by a lot of names depending on the platform, but my most frequent ones are Avery and Kai

Age: Early 20s

I mostly post about: Daily life and whatever musings come to me. Sometimes I'll post my thoughts on certain media, like books I read or games I played, and sometimes I'll write about how my writing process is going. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be sharing for the most part though. I put off making an introduction here until I got a few posts up, and this is what it's been like so far. Who knows what I'll be sharing later though!

My hobbies are:Creative writing, reading, doodling, exploring new music, video games

My fandoms are:N/A; I wouldn't consider myself active in any fandoms per se. I appreciate Percy Jackson art, and that is as close to fandom as it gets.

I'm looking to meet people who: Enjoy chatting about whatever's on their mind (I don't mind if it's mundane or deep) and preferably, though it's not a must, also enjoy creative writing.

My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic, I think. I'm not sure. I might be active daily at some point, and I might get busy and not have the energy to write more than my daily creative writing word count.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: First and foremost bigotry of any kind (homophobia, racism and most far-right winger things, just to name a few). I am staunchly against the use of genAI especially in creative works, and I tend to keep politics to a minimum (it's already depressing enough as it is).

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a neurodivergent, queer individual with leftist-ish views. I'm posting mainly to keep my IRL (off-site) friends updated, but I'm up for chatting in the comments and/or private messages! (I'm not sure what this site's etiquette is on that yet)

I mostly post about: daily life, eating disorder recovery, complicated life, some fandom posts, movie posts, ADIML, AMAs, my health, my family, friends, ect.



My hobbies are: tv, movies, art, bullet journaling, writing, Pilates, nature walks, outdoorsy stuff, animals, gratitude journaling, gemstones re: properties and benefits, reading, listening to music, looking for music and movie recs, my pets, hanging out with friends, crafting, horror, skincare, makeup, photography, etc.

I'm looking to meet people who:have things in common or don't. I like lasting friendships. We don't have to talk everyday/post but I do like comments just like I'll comment on your posts



My posting schedule tends to be: very sporadic. But I'm working on this and would like to post once a week.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: 2slgbtqia+ phobia, racism, antisemitism, fatphobia, close-mindedness, jerks, rudeness, making everything a competition, propaganda, politics all the time, anti-feminism, extreme zionists and anti-semites, red flags. If you're expecting happy-go-lucky posts all the time, I'm not for you.



Before adding me, you should know: I may be or seem really unapproachable but I'm a kind person looking for new friends that'll be active for me and I them. Also, I'm open to 16 + just know that I post a lot of adult only things so if you are a minor acknowledge that and let me know so I can decide from there.

Is there an interesting story behind your username? Well... I used to collect porcelain dolls as a kid and my fursona/truesona is a lamb! :D

Location and language(s): I'm from England and I speak English.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): I'm in my early 20s and I would prefer to friend other young people.

Hot button/dealbreaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: AI/NFT bros, fandom related content, K-Pop, right-wing politics, empty journals, NSFW/Rule 34/Fetish content, religious slop, bad grammar and spelling, bigotry of all stripes, drama-farmers, 4Chan posers, crybullies, TikTok/Instagram speak, and people who can't take a joke.

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? Yes I do, and I have a more detailed About Me over at my site! Click here!

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Yup!

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: I'm BIPOC, AFAB and a lesbian! I have mild Autism and Dyslexia; so please I beg you to be patient with me at times, since I kinda suck with people. I'm an anthro artist who's eager to improve and is very open to feedback and advice; hell, I even have an art journal over at InsaneJournal!

You mostly write about: My day-to-day life and whatever interests me that day (usually music or anime or some random MMORPG)!

You never or very rarely write about: Politics, online drama, gardening, world affairs, celeb gossip and other stuff I find boring.

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? Mostly public minus entries featuring personal photos.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? Yes!

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): Every few days or even daily :]

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Mostly text with some photos here and there.

What do you enjoy most about journaling? Just having a place to yap about random stuff makes me feel powerful!!!

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? Daily

You really enjoy reading about: Other people's days, cool furry or animanga art, music, alternative fashion, and retro furry and animanga stuff! 

You have very little interest in reading about: Stuff I would imagine my mum or a teacher being into... no offence! I'm just a big kid at heart that's all. Also, I don't wanna hear about your sex life especially if it's graphic!

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? I don't wanna see yo unfunny memes and videos, dawg... ;[

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? Quality with some quantity thrown in for good measure.

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? Nope!

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? I only ever comment if I know you really well, or we have a lot in common...

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? I don't really unfriend unless I really need to for the sake of my own peace.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general? It always constantly changes. Right now, I'm really into the donghua Tales of A Herding God! Qin Mu, my beloved protagonist!!!

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? As long as you aren't annoying, ultra corny or cruel, we can definitely be friends, homefry! :3 Also, I mostly post my art on deviantART; so if you have an account on there; please give me a watch!!! <3

Name: Frankie

Age: 23

I mostly post about: daily life stuff, what i'm reading/watching and thoughts I have on it, I want to be more present and able to formulate my thoughts better (I do write analog diary sometimes, but I just could not make a habit out of it so far, online journaling might be a bit more instincutal to me), some fandom stuff too

My hobbies are
: creative writing/story telling (fic and original), dancing, photography, sometimes I read

My fandoms are: Interview with the Vampire (third season babyyy), I've read some of the books too and just love vampires in general, talk to me about vampires!! also sk8 the infinity, Dan and Phil, Hunter x Hunter, Shameless (tv show), and I generally love horror (movies, books etc) not really a fandom but i'm very into 70s glam rock and also super facinated by fandom phenomena etc in general

I'm looking to meet people who
: want to chat, share interests (but that's not a must), I'm not at all bothered by seemingly trivial/mundane posts, I'd also love to swatch movie recs (campy, horror, queer cinema, non-english, or just stuff ppl genuinely love)!!

My posting schedule tends to be: a bit sporadic tbh, sometimes I'll be on here every day (commenting, posting or just reading) somtimes I'll be absent for a few weeks, depends on where my mind is

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I need ya'll to be anit-fascist. we are not (and frankly never have been) at a place in time where we can affort not to be, and while I am always open for political discussions this is my fun little online journal and anti-fascisim as a common ground is a must, I am also very very ciritcal of using generative AI (outside of specific scientific settings where it is actually usefull, there nuance)

Before adding me, you should know
: I'm a trans man, english is not my first language (it's german), so grammar/spelling might be off, and I'm not really stressing about replying/commenting quickly, but that's just so I can have fun with being social/don't get overwhelmed not bc I don't wanna chat

BEFORE YOU ADD ME: I am over 60--a Baby Boomer who does not tolerate age discrimination. I'm open to many ideas though I may not practice what another does. I'm looking for individuals that are over 18 and do not act immaturely. I had a Live Journal at one time and deleted it long ago due to a breakdown in operation. I am hoping to come back here and gain a good circle of friends after a long hiatus from DW

I am just a simple person who just enjoys life as much as I can.

Another two weeks in the house and we're pretty settled in. Because the living room has a loft-style setup leading to a second floor vestibule, it also means the lighting situation is a bit trickier. We tried a few ideas, starting with a lamp I made from a retrofitted Manfrotto that I genuinely have no use for and an IKEA lamp kit that was gathering dust since Vermont and one of the first gen Matter bulbs. Then we went to IKEA for a way to get something to protect the Roomba which we had to buy to replace the older roomba we had because iRobot stopped supporting it on their app--I'm convinced these fucking people knew that there's enough parts for the older machines to keep one running forever so did it to force you to keep buying. Anyway, long story short, there's a mixture of smart lights both wall-mounted and standing that we're using to get the living room well-lit and while it's eclectic, it adds to the loft-style aesthetic which I think is pretty cool.

I like to think there is no better sign of progress in your life quite like going to the same cheap place you go to to get things but buying the expensive things instead. We ended up getting a 300 dollar lamp at IKEA and a few of their experimental pieces as well to fit the constrains of a smaller place (not big sellers so more expensive but genuinely fun as hell to build because I think it's more custom pieces that are built exclusively for it and I wouldn't be surprised if they emphasized easier design).

It's been a month of cardboard in here, endless paper. We still haven't worked on the patio yet.

The friend's wedding is coming closer and I think I have an idea for a design I want to work on but I also need fewer distractions.

I had a lot of health inspection crap and honestly it lead to me going to fucking Yonkers from Central Jersey (an hour plus drive!) because they were one of the few in-network options I had and it was for a screening for something that I didn't even want to see a gastro about. The gastro also asked for blood tests and I ended up filling a 12-pack of blood tests. I am not even kidding, it took forever for LabCorp to even sort through all the things I needed and this was after an already annoying trip to a different facility where they basically ditched me without warning for lunch.

This also lead to how I learned that I owe a shitload of money because Michelle was unaware of how expensive high deductible insurance is. She felt really bad that I was stressing out because honestly the colonoscopy I had years ago traumatized me to the idea of going to a doctor due to bills. My friend also kept insisting I go to a proper hospital with professionals and recommended the one associated with Rutgers without realizing that they also charge a premium and we found out about that after the fact so yeaaah I'm not getting any more checkups for awhile until we get the medical bills sorted unless I need more than 3000 in work. Ironically this was all because I wanted to see if I could get my colon checked (which it hasn't been mentioned again). Like imagine paying 250 to see your doc who is pretty much there to ask what you did to get your blood pressure so low (a month of hard exercise and four hours mandatory physical labor moving does wonders). lol The healthcare system is such shit man.

Since the bachelorette party is coming soon, we're going to mostly try to keep things clean around here. I also need to at least do some work because I feel like I've been slumming these past two days.

Also finally FINALLY finished those images of Conowingo. Holy shit does it feel amazing. There's some really cool shots I got and I'm glad they're out there now. I also miss it already though and want to go back--I've heard there's owls there too. TBF I feel the same way with a lot of cool photo sites and the only thing holding me back right now are these obligations and this awful heat.

Hope everyone is good.

I had the following video in Randy Rainbow sings 'A Very Stable Genius Part Two!' for Wayback Wednesday, but replaced it with one from the stage.

Modern Major-General | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE.

When the Pirates of Penzance attack Mabel (Linda Ronstadt) and her sisters, their father, the Major-General, arrives! What is The Pirates of Penzance (1983) about? Frederic (Rex Smith), who has spent his formative years as a junior pirate, plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King (Kevin Kline) and beginning his courtship of Mabel (Linda Ronstadt). But because he was born on Feb. 29, a date that only arrives every fourth year, Frederic isn't technically 21 -- and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King's new nemesis: Mabel's father.
Randy didn't include the parts where he rhymes himself into a corner then has to rhyme himself out. That would have been even funnier, but apparently it's only in this movie. The original didn't have those, and it's the original Randy is parodying.

I could have used this in Marsh Family sings 'Bile and Lies' about JD Vance for Tuneful Tuesday, but decided to stick to a song about a U.S. politician.
