Hello world!

NAME: Logan. That's not my legal name, which I still use freely in the offline world -- but almost everyone calls me Logan online these days. I'm a guy. He/him.

AGE: Old. Well, all right, let's say "in my 40s" and leave it at that, shall we?

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I'm not into anime/manga, really. Right, now 90% of you have stopped reading, I'll scare away most of the rest. My primary and most active fandom is My Little Pony. Yes, it's still a thing. We didn't all fade away years ago as you may fondly have imagined! I'm not a hugely fannish person beyond that, though Watership Down was my first and remains my favourite book (my username comes from that), and I'm a fairly casual viewer of Doctor Who. Oh, and Miraculous Ladybug on occasion, too.

I used to be fairly active in furry -- with a rabbit fursona, hence a few of my icons -- but that's largely a thing of the past now. In the non-fandom world, my interests include cricket (hey, I am English!), weather/meteorology, retrocomputing, reading (mostly non-fiction, especially history), current affairs, walking, trains (especially steam trains), motorsport, photography (at a fairly casual standard) and using too many brackets. There are probably more that have entirely slipped my mind at the moment, so you can add "forgetting what my interests are" if you like.

LOOKING FOR: People to talk to, really! I was on LiveJournal from 2003, and only finally left after one of the Russian anti-LGBT palavers. Dreamwidth is (obviously) very familiar in look and feel, but I really do miss the vigour of LJ at its height. DW is very quiet sometimes, and it would be great if it were a little bit less so. I love rambling on in comments and so on. That said, I won't mind at all if you don't comment or post yourself very often. I'm pretty easy-going about that kind of thing, and it's not as if I can always think of what to say to other people's posts.

WHAT I POST: Nearly all my journal is public, so flicking down its last couple of pages will give you a pretty good idea of the sort of rambly waffling I go in for. I'd like to post a bit less pandemic stuff, but realistically it's going to be a major topic for quite some while yet. I generally only lock posts that mention personally identifying details -- family subjects, detailed health matters, exact location, you get the idea.

I do post about politics sometimes. I'm centre-left by UK standards, so adapt that for your own country's norms. I'm pretty open to people of other views for the most part, and I actively try to avoid the Twitter/Tumblr echo chamber effect. If you're going to give me "Gates and Soros made a fake virus to forcibly vaccinate us all with 5G" stuff then we probably aren't going to connect very well. Otherwise, things should work out all right.

ANYTHING ELSE? I have several trans and non-binary friends. Their validity is not negotiable. Oh, and feel free to add/remove me as you wish. No offence will be taken.

ALSO KNOWN AS: I'm Logan(berry) pretty much everywhere these days.

Have added you too :) Son was a fast bowler and generally an opening batsman. He was known as a bit of an Ian Botham type in his teen years. He learned the game as an 11 year old with Wiltshire CCC (minor counties) - practiced so many forward defensives ;) Played for Hythe and Dibden in his teen years winning the New Forest U15 and U16 cup as captain and played for his university (UCL). Too busy to play often these days but gets the odd game in. Still bowls, still bats :) Do you play at all?
