NAME: Samantha (Sam).
AGE: 31.
INTERESTS AND HOBBIES: Gaming, reading, writing, baking - as much as I can do while I work and deal with Real Life. I also have vast fannish interests too large to list here, but my active fandoms are Dragon Age, Mass Effect, World of Warcraft, Sailor Moon, and Final Fantasy. I have a complete list here for those who are curious. I plan on posting book reviews and real life events, but hopefully I'll talk about fandom junk as well!
LOOKING FOR: I used to have a Livejournal and switched to Tumblr like everyone else. I've been on Dreamwidth for years but haven't been active. I'm looking for likeminded people who share my interests and hobbies, love to read and write as much as I do, and don't mind reading about my (admittedly) mundane life and occasional social justice tangents. I also prefer people closer to my age, or at least older than twenty. Bonus points if you're queer and liberal!
ANYTHING ELSE?: I have two dogs named Lucy (toy fox terrier) and Elphaba (chihuahua mix), and a white bunny named Ruby. I love them very much.
ALSO KNOWN AS: I'm academiczombie on Tumblr and smvnowin on Twitter.

Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

It sounds like we have some common interests. I post a lot of my writing, occasionally about cooking, social justice, and other stuff. Feel free to drop by and see if you like my blog.

Hi!

[pastryqueen]

I definitely like your blog - I automatically checked out the writing tag and immersed myself in everything. (Especially the bingo cards! It's been ages since I've done one of those.) Sending a friend request your way.

>> I definitely like your blog <<

Thank you!

>> I automatically checked out the writing tag and immersed myself in everything. <<

There are individual tags for Poem and Fiction. I also have a Serial Poetry page if you want to read those in order -- some won't make much sense by themselves. I'm on AO3 too. I recommend reading when you have time to kill; my writing has been described as "flypaper for eyeballs" and people have lost whole weekends down that rabbit hole. The next live activities will be the Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday, February 5 with a theme of "personal or public ritual."

I run allbingo with a new fest each month, hosted by various folks. This month is Valentines Bingo including romance, erotic, platonic, and some other categories.

I have friended you back. :D

Oh hello! We have a lot of similar interests, and I am also in my early 30s. I mostly post about videogames I'm playing, but I do want to start doing mini book reviews because I read a lot too. Friends?

[pastryqueen]

Hi! Mini book reviews are what I was thinking about doing. It's fun to share thoughts outside of Goodreads, and I like seeing what everyone else is reading and enjoying too. I'm sending a friend request. :)

I like the vidddddeeeaaa games (currents are ESO & Subnautica BZ) I recently made a WoW acct but haven't started it yet. Got too sucked into the early access of SBZ at the same time... haha!

I also have dogs. And other various beasts. And a twitter (@mybeautifulwars) --- I just found and followed ya ;)

[pastryqueen]

Nice! I still have my toons on WoW (I play on the roleplaying realm WyrmrestAccord), but I haven't played through the last two expansions much. I have OCs from the game that I adore very much, but I don't have the stamina for long sessions for it as I used to, heh. It's fun once you find the right guild, though!

I followed you back on Twitter, and I'm giving you a friend request. :D

[peachpai]

Check on gaming, writing, baking, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, queer, and over 30! Want to give it a go? :)

[pastryqueen]

Awesome! Sending a request your way. :)

[athenasleepsin]

You sound so cool 💖 I LOVE Dragon Age & Sailor Moon. Mind if I add you?

[pastryqueen]

Aww, thank you! And your Chibichibi icon is super cute. And I don't mind at all! I'll add back.

[helvetica]

Hey! I added you if you don't mind! I am 30 and I love reading and writing and cooking though I'm not so good at baking! I try to be though, I'll get there someday :)

I love the names for all of your pets! I have two cats named Flapjack and Rigby and would love to have dogs and bunnies someday!

[pastryqueen]

Hi! I don't mind at all! And I'm an amateur baker myself. I just enjoy doing it. I usually stick with cookies but I make a damn good carrot cake from scratch.

And thank you! I love the names of your kitties, too. :D And I think if you like cats, you'll enjoy bunnies. They're very emotional creatures with big personalities once they're comfortable with you and their surroundings.

[chaosonwheels]

Hi! You and I have quite a few similar interests! I'm also a big Sailor Moon and FF fan, among other things on your list. I gave you a follow, if you don't mind ^^

[pastryqueen]

Hiya! I don't mind the follow at all. Thank you for doing so. :) It's great to meet other Sailor Moon and Final Fantasy fans.
