Hello, he said with staggering originality

[loganberrybunny]

This isn't my first time posting here, but repeats are allowed if I wait a while, and it's been many months now, so here goes!

NAME: Logan
AGE: In my 40s, but happy to chat to anyone over 18
INTERESTS & HOBBIES:
Fandoms: My Little Pony (all gens, but especially G4/FiM); Miraculous Ladybug, Watership Down; His Dark Materials (books then TV); Marcus Didius Falco; Doctor Who (very casually these days); various old British sitcoms
Sports: cricket, motorsport, athletics (I don't actually compete!)
Other: steam railways, retrocomputing, weather, space exploration, history, old pop/rock music, books in general. My profile has a rather longer list.
LOOKING FOR: Anything I can take a genuine interest in, whether it's fandom, shared interests or everyday happenings like where you've been or what you've been eating. I'm not a pet person, so if your journal is overwhelmingly about your beloved dog/cat/centipede then we probably won't click.
COMMENTS: I'd like at least occasional interaction, but I certainly don't expect people to comment on all my posts! Just any that happen to interest you. I will return the favour.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I live in Worcestershire in central England. I avoid posting about work and rarely talk about family. I'm diabetic but it doesn't have a huge impact on my everyday life. My journal is 90% public. My politics are centre-left by UK standards but all reasonably moderate political views welcome, left, right or centre -- just no anti-vaxxers please! I dislike Twitter-style shouty politics; it's a big reason I revived my blog here. LGBT people welcome. Kindness is a virtue.

Okay this is spooky as I live in Worcestershire - Worcester to be precise! I also was born in Worcester and grew up there. So obviously I have to friend you. :-)

[ranawinter]

Adding you! I don't expect anything, I don't mind whether people interact with my journal or not.. just happy to have the company and posts to read!

[loganberrybunny]

Well, how about that! I was in Cripplegate Park just this last Saturday. Very nice it was too in the sunshine. Hello, and adding you back now! :)

[loganberrybunny]

I can understand that feeling, certainly! Hello there, adding you back now. :)

[waterfall8484]

Hi, you look interesting and it looks like we have some things in common. I hope you don't mind that I added you, don't feel like you have to reciprocate if you dont want to! :)

[loganberrybunny]

I have, though! I mean, it's not often I see a Pony icon these days, so it's hard to resist. Welcome along! :)

[waterfall8484]

Funnily enough, it's not really one of my fandoms, but they make for great icons! :D I still have very fond memories of the first G1 film though.

Hello Logan, I'm Sammy. :) I don't have any pets to harp on about, but I have virtual pets! LOL (Neopets)

Added.

[loganberrybunny]

I like G1; it's probably my second favourite generation after G4.

[loganberrybunny]

Hi Sammy, thanks for the add! Just added you back. Welcome!

Wow, Neopets... there's a word I haven't seen for a while. I never did that myself, but I'm happy to find it's still going! :)

[ouroborostattoo]

Neopets is still going strong!

[waterfall8484]

It's all that was around for my childhood, I'm pretty sure I have some comics lying around somewhere as well.

[loganberrybunny]

Pretty likely: there was quite an extensive range of G1 comics made for the UK market, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if many of those found their ways to other parts of Europe. I don't own any, but I've seen them fairly often on sale at cons.

[waterfall8484]

I was in the UK at the time, we would buy them at Sainsbury's. MLP and my stay in England as a kid are pretty much linked in my mind, it appears :)
