Hello, Everyone!

NAME: Georgiana is not my legal name, but it's what I use here. Some also call me Georgie.
AGE: Thirty-eight.
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: antique menswear, archery, aristocracy, art, audio games, baking, baths, boating, books, british humour, cards, cats, classical music, coffee, cooking, crafts, dandies, dandyism, dice, dinner parties, documentaries, dog shows, dogs, edwardian, elocution, england, eton, fencing, fortepiano, french, gardening, grammar, Grand Tour, history, latin, museums, nature, new jersey, nobility, organic food, parapsychology, parlour games, reading, received pronunciation, regency, silver fork novels, snuff, tea, tennis, theatre, Transatlantic accent, upper class, victorian, wit, wordplay, writing.
LOOKING FOR: I am already in a loving relationship, so I am seeking platonic friendship only. I would like to find those who share my interests.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I live in New Jersey, the United States. I enjoy Grammar prescriptivism, studying dandyism and anything having to do with high culture, trying different teas and nasal snuffs, cooking and baking from scratch, reading nineteenth-century literature, writing, and playing card, dice, and parlour games. I love wit, wordplay, and sarcastic humour without vulgarity. I don't drink (barring dealcoholised wine) or do drugs. I neither have nor want children, and I am not religious. While I am a woman, I do not wear feminine clothing, makeup, cosmetics, etc. That said, I do have a strong interest in antique menswear and accessories. I have no time for drama, lies, or political correctness, nor am I anyone's therapist, so if you always write about depression, anxiety, marital issues, or just complain constantly, please do not expect me to subscribe to you. I like to keep my life and those in it positive. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, so I won't be posting much visual content.

As so little of my content actually reflects the interests we have in common or my own endeavours in becoming a man of erudition (and, worse, it is riddled with vulgarities from bottom to top), I am not so certain I can offer you anything of value. Still, I hope you don't mind that I subscribe to your journal or comment if I have something to say — I've long yearned to make friends with others who resonate with the dignity and aesthetic of a bygone era, and among my generation (the much maligned Gen Z-ers), such individuals seem to be in rather short supply.

Hello, fellow New Jerseyan! Though I'm not sure you would much enjoy reading my journal (me pretending to be positive and happy all the time, and that everything is alright, when it's not, has been leading to some mental breakdown through repressing/bottling of emotions), I still want to say "hello," from one 30-something North Jerseyan to another. Welcome! :)
