Hi all! Let's do an old school friending meme. LJ is pretty quiet these days and I, for one, would like to have more friends here. Please share this post around. Anybody is welcome to comment below.

Comment if you're looking for friends, and then comment on other people's threads if you want to add them as friends!

Name: Allison
Age: 33
Where are you from: Connecticut, USA
A little bit about you: Currently, I'm working for a university here in Connecticut. I've been there for almost two and a half years. I just celebrated my three year anniversary with my partner, who is non-binary (he/she/they). I'm cis (she/her) and bi/pan. I'm living in an apartment with my sister. I have no children by choice. I'm really interested in politics, though it's been more difficult to keep up because my mental health has been pretty bad lately. I'm taking a break from twitter and I've been avoiding the more political podcasts I listen to. Basically, I just wanted to give a warning that I'm liberal, feminist, angry, and I'll probably talk about those things from time to time.

What are your interests?: I'm interested in gender and queer issues, politics in general, social justice, etc. I enjoy listening to podcasts and reading books. I play some video games (single player RPGs mostly) and watch some television. I used to write a lot, and I'm working on getting back to it.
Any hobbies?: My hobbies revolve around my computer. Here on LJ I like making icons and modding some communities. I screencap tv and movies for a website call KissThemGoodbye, which is partnered with grande_caps. I have a fashion twitter where I just post the latest runway shows. I also have an Etsy shop where I sell printables. I read, too.
Favorite fandoms?: Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Killing Eve, Fincher movies, some specific Marvel/DC stuff, Mad Men, a lot of period drama/fantasy stuff and some horror, Star Wars, Dexter, The Witcher, Stranger Things, The X-Files, and a lot I'm probably forgetting. Favorite video games include Dragon Age, the Witcher, Skyrim, Tomb Raider, and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Dislikes?: Ignorance, willful ignorance.

What do you look for in a friend? Do you have a policy?: I'd prefer friends 25+ and I can't relate to moms if that's all you post about. I'd like friends who care about issues, even have specific issues that drive them, but in general just have their minds open to the world around them.
What are your posts mostly about? They've been about my daily life. I bullet point my posts, so every post can have totally random things going on in them.
How often do you post? How often do you check your friends list?: I could update every day for a few days and then go away for four or five days. I try to check my friends list at least twice a week, but it's probably more.
Anything else?:

Name: Behind flock.
Age:Behind flock, but in my thirties.
Where are you from: The US, where we kicked out Voldemort but Death Eaters are still chilling in government positions. (In case you were curious about my political persuasions.)
A little bit about you: She/Her. Don't talk about politics too often here because Facebook ranting makes me miserable enough, but pretty liberal. I've been in fannish circles since high school under the same two usernames, more or less.

What are your interests?: Writing, reading, history, old newspapers, miscellaneous social causes.
Any hobbies?: I write?

Favorite fandoms?: Currently very involved in Schitt's Creek fandom. Also known to tinker in Harry Potter and Buffy, and I love Parks and Rec to fannish levels and would probably be in that fandom if there were one. Same with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Necessary disclaimer: I love Harry Potter, but don't take this to mean I in any way endorse JK Rowling. All of my Harry Potter books were bought decades ago, and I do not plan on financially contributing to any projects or merchandise coming from her. More the reason to love SC fandom. Dan Levy is a gem of a human being.

Dislikes?:What do you look for in a friend? Do you have a policy?: I'd prefer friends at least be in their twenties. Someone with common interests who enjoys discussion. The thing is... I'm not here only for fannish reasons anymore, but I do prefer posts that are conversational and interactive, rather than day-to-day posts.

What are your posts mostly about? Well, largely what I said above, though not as much fannishness as I used to. I talk about why people do the things they do, observations about books/movies/shows, occasionally politics.

My last three entries:

- Reddit gripes and a rant about middle school DARE programs

- Halloween stuff

- Answering questions found on Reddit and Quora, including a mom who wanted her sixteen year old to take her twelve year old to a high school dance with her (the 16 yo) friends.

How often do you post? How often do you check your friends list?: I only update once or twice a week these days because no one's really around, but I check at least once a day.

ETA: One more thing! My LJ is flocked big time, so don't take the apparent lapse in updates to mean anything. My public entries are few and far in between, but do give a general idea of the kinds of things I post.
