'Ello there!

[hallowspite]

My name is Dusty. I am from ze land of Australia, and I'm eighteen.

I have depression and anxiety (mostly social anxiety, but other stuff thrown in occasionally), and will often post things influenced by one or both - while I deliberately try to be more positive these days, I can't always promise it. (Don't worry - I cut most of it.) Most of what I post is introspection and learning about myself, and I don't often post about what I did in my day because I don't leave the house much, yet.

I'm most likely to comment on introspection and pondering. I love getting to know myself and watching people get to know themselves as well, and their opinions and explorations of stuff. I'm a supportive person and I like giving out hugs, and advice when asked. I'm curious about alternate lifestyles and love to learn about them.

I love ferrets! Given the chance, I could talk about my fuzzies for ages and ages. I own seven, with an eighth (our fourth rescue) who will come home after the new year, and occasionally post about them. I also have a dog I love to pieces and two cockatiels who are just as dear to my heart.

I'm very fascinated by the paranormal, spirituality and religion, and lately I've developed an interest in Kemetic Orthodoxy and the Egyptian gods, and I'm beginning to learn about those things steadily. (I have a filter for these things - feel free to ask to be on!) I am accepting of other people's beliefs and really like to learn about them, but I draw the line at what I see as pointless hate and/or condemnation.

So hullo, folks! All I ask is that if you friend me you comment here as well so I know where you found me.

Hello, I'm looking for DW friends

Bit of an obvious subject line, but I didn't feel like leaving it blank.

Hi, I'm fergmus! I started to move from LJ several months ago, but haven't made any new friends here yet.

I'm interested in reading detailed and reflective personal journals. If you consider adding me to your circle, please note that my own journal is my "safe space" for talking about whatever I want. There may be entries you find triggering - read at your own discretion.

I'm from Scotland. I have lived there, in England, and in Canada. Right now I live in two Canadian cities. I speak (and write) English, French, and Scots. Here's what I'm reading right now.  I'm not involved in any fandoms. If anything, I'm a Proust fanperson. From time to time, I do a bit of my own writing. See my tumblr for some of my inspirations and irritants, and last.fm for the music I like.

I'm not comfortable sharing certain kinds of personal information on here, but I think taking a look at my tumblr and my writing might give you a bit of an idea. Please bear in mind that the writing on my Wordpress blog is all fiction - the identities and opinions of my characters do not represent or reflect my own.

On the other hand, I think it's important that you know that:

1) I am in a same-sex relationship. I have "come out" to all my friends and a couple family members, but I'm only allowed to be "out" around my friends.

2) I'm not "out" as plural, and you won't find any posts about that (yet). Although I have lived my way for almost half my life, I am only beginning to identify as plural.

3) There are posts in my journal about my experiences of domestic violence and depression. They aren't graphic, but they could still be triggering.

If you'd like to read my posts, and to share your journal / some of your journal with me, please let me know :)
