NAME: Dido Twite
AGE: 42
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I'm your typical middle-aged cis hetero married white-girl quasi-nerd: choral music, athena division triathlon training, gardening, reading, ass-groove development in front of screens (I don't mind subtitles, K-dramas suck me in, I have a BritBox subscription and it's not just for Monty Don and grumpy detectives, McLeod's Daughters is my comfort watch, you'd never catch me checking out Euphoria), lite mechanical fiddling and self-back-patting (bikes and cars, building simple garden stuff), hiking camping skiing general fresh-air-ing while lacking all competitive/gatekeeping drive and more just reveling in nature's gifts (dang, that's sappy*), politically and socially a left-wing liberal navel-gazer, also apparently a big fan of hyphens. I used to say I love languages, but that part of my brain is kind of wearing out. I work with my computer in tech sometimes (I'm a combo reformed-retired-management-consultant-drone-goon).
*see what I did there?

LOOKING FOR: Similar to my own page. I like daily life blogs, attempts at deep thoughts, good snarky drama, bad snarky drama, photos, art, book journals. I love to see others' crafts, but do not myself have the patience or skill. I'm not into fandoms, and I was basically born middle-aged. That means if you're just out of college, I might be totally lost on the latest bands and climate change action slang (right, y'all are gonna fix that?) and need a glossary. Also, we chose not to have kids. I still don't mind hearing how others are getting through the ~18 years of no sleep, haha :)

ANYTHING ELSE?: The least interesting part of me, but it might help figuring out my entries: I'm American, dual UK citizen through my mother, and I've had almost 8 expat years now in Germany, Denmark, Kenya, Thailand, and now Australia. Some as a student, some for work. I grew up in the northeast US; I met my spouse in DC; we moved to Australia from Colorado.

You sound glorious! I write about my days, crafts, media consumed. Childfree here. Living my life with some ice chokers!

Right back atcha! Let's do this!

You sound really fun! Honestly, I have no idea how to pitch myself here, because I've got an empty journal (LJ convert) and I've never been great at keeping one before, to be totally transparent. But it's a big priority at present as I'm homebound (and have been since the start of the pandemic). I'd love to hear about your adventures, "sappy" and otherwise. I'm hoping to start taking pictures with an actual camera again, so my dog-walking might get artsy, I guess. It's pretty here. Oh, and books! I read constantly, so now that you mention it, that's something I'll definitely write about. Here's my Goodreads, if you're into that.

I added you!

Hallo!

I am a computer in tech person, blog about day to day mundanity, art stuff, craft stuff, photos of random things. Mid forties, no kids, dual Canadian/US citizen and living in California.

I have added you!

Added, thanks!

Hi! I can say about myself a lot of the same stuff you did: I'm the same age and gender, not into fandom, love hyphens and funny comments with stars, books, languages (I speak five), thoughtful daily life journals, I, too, have lived in several countries and consider myself citizen of the world (well, this last one might not be "too", but it should!) So, I'm pretty sure we'll match. I'll go and add you now. But since I'm adding a lot of people these days, I might forget your username by tomorrow XD

Thanks, added!

Hello! *subscribes*

Hi, added back.

Hello!

I'm also middle-aged, a little older than you, married female but I do have 3 adult children & 4 grandchildren. I just write about my life.

lol I'm not crafty at all either. I didn't get that gene.

Add?

Done!

I am looking for some journals to read; and yours seem like it might be interesting.

I work with data (as a data modeller), mum of 2, married. I mostly write about daily, stuff, work, food, fitness (just my own progress).

I do not read or write fandoms, but I just skip those posts without drama.

Would you like us to be friends? :)

Sure, let's give it a whirl!
