non-writers will never understand the mental illness of writing an entire conversation in your head while doing dishes and then forgetting every word the second you open a blank doc
Hi all, I've been under a rock for most of the year and I hope you've been alright! Things have been very up and down for me, but I'm chugging along.
thefridayfive has posted this week's questions already, so why not sneak in some participation?
1. If you had to participate in one Olympic event, what would it be and why?
Biathalon! Not that I would be any good at it, but I like the idea of cross country skiing and target practice combined into one. There's something very prairies in it for me that calls to some of the more positive thoughts of my heritage.
2. What is the one song you always sing along to?
I have to pick only one? Alright, let's see. I think that "Your Song" from Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge would probably be my #1. Kat and I sang it a lot together when we were first dating and it's been lodged in my head as one of those 'most romantic ever' ditties that lifts my heart and makes me smile.
3. Do you wear a seatbelt in the car?
Yep! I'm generally law-abiding if I have proof that it's sensible to be so, and I have second-hand accounts from coworkers who experienced trauma due to friends and family not wearing seatbelts, so I'm taking their word for it.
4. Car, SUV or truck and why?
Car! I like being low to the ground and being able to sense where the corners of my vehicle are. I also like having more maneuverability than either an SUV or truck can offer. I currently have an SUV right now and am having to relearn how to drive it, but I'm looking forward to understanding the new proportions a lot better.
5. Are you a good/bad driver? Explain.
I'm an inexperienced driver. For 40 years I have managed to get away with living as a pedestrian and a transit user, but a semi-recent move out to the boonies has required the use of a vehicle, so I've been working my way through getting learners and then new driver licenses, and practicing. In fact, I'm going to purchase some new driving lessons before my current work contract is over so that I can replenish some guided experience, because inexperience is worse than simply being a 'bad' driver, you know?
Anyways, sending lots of good vibes to y'all! I hope your holidays go well and that we all get a good break in the months and year ahead.
I mostly post about: I don't use it to post anything right now, I forgot I had this journal to be honest lol. I am going to turn it into a fandom/graphics blog though, with some other stuff sprinkled in probably. I don't usually post personal stuff online but have no problem discussing it with people in PM/DM if they're interested learning about me, etc..
My hobbies are: Fandom roleplaying (I only play fandom characters, but will rp with fandom or oc characters), gaming (mostly MMO's), reading manga or fanfics, watching anime or anything that catches my interest, getting back into icon/graphic making cuz I miss it, listening to music, watching movies.
My fandoms are: Teen Wolf (MTV show), Trigun Manga/Anime, and various others I'm trying to keep up with lol but those two are my biggest fixations right now.
I'm looking to meet people who: Have the same interests, being near or the same age is not necessary. I have friends from all different age ranges/walks of life.
My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I have the energy. I work from home due to medical problems, so my hours are roughly 8am-630pm Central Standard time, Mon-Fri. Though I am mostly around a lot of the time.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Discrimination, ableism, racism, animal cruelty, transphobia, gay-phobia, bigotry, speaking negatively about LGBTQ+, honestly any of the bad shit lol.
Before adding me, you should know: I am chronically online due to medical issues/being disabled so I am around a LOT. Going to be around even more so due to our work's reduction of hours they're putting into place soon so I'm going to have a LOT of free time coming up to work with lol. I also mostly connect through either Discord or Plurk.
A fun fact about me is that I have a Guinness World Record and a star named after me. :)
