Hello. I'm trying to get back into the habit of updating here more as I miss it, but it's difficult to feel motivated without the community feeling. I'm looking for people with shared interests to talk to and hopefully connect with and form genuine friendships.

I'm in my late 20s and I'm European. I have a degree in illustration, and I enjoy journaling/planners and get excited over stationary, I'm learning to knit, I like web coding and building early 00's style websites on Neocities (I'm hoping to study for a masters in this area soon), playing The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, and building Legos.

I'm passionate about musical theater, and my favorite musicians are My Chemical Romance and Elvis Presley. I love reading (mostly horror and classics) and watching movies (I'll watch pretty much anything tbh). My ideal vacation is to a Disney park, so far I've been to Paris, Tokyo, Anaheim and Orlando. I love whimsy.

I mostly post about things I do, stuff I create, places I travel, shows I see, media I consume, and introspection. I think of my blog as a memory keeper rather than a stream of consciousness, but sometimes it's both. I prefer to keep my difficulties private. I don't have any posting schedule - it might be everyday, it might be once a month, but I visit my reading page daily.

I find it very difficult to connect with people who only post about their children as I'm not on that path. I appreciate everyone struggles from time to time, but I don't enjoy reading depressing rants on a day to day basis either.

My journal is my safe space, and I subscribe to Thumper's philosophy: "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."

howdy. feel free to check out my journal and profile and see if we'd click. we seem to share a few interests, at the least. maybe not listed profile interests, but ;v;

Sure, I've added you :)

Hi! I like Sims 4 & Animal Crossing! I also like MCR and Elvis! We have some similar interests and mutual friends too! Want to be friends?

You sound great, I'd love to be friends! :D Added

Awesome! Thank you! Added Back! :)

I'm a Sims fan, but haven't played in a long time. I also recently posted about missing the earlier days of the internet. May I add you?

Of course, I've added you :)

I'm not sure if we'd click, but I'm a bit of an artist myself (exclusively digitally, I haven't drawn anything traditionally in ages), I very likely won't have children, and lately I've been attempting to refresh the programming knowledge (web and otherwise) I acquired in college in hopes of transitioning my career.

we don't have much in common, but we do share interests in neocities/site design and animal crossing! i think you seem pretty cool so i wouldn't mind subscribing if you're alright with that

Hello! I am in my mid-thirties and I'm Eurasian. My undergraduate degree was in preparing to get a PhD, so I am in the process of obtaining one of those now because it makes me happy to be in the graduate student community ^o^ until the migraines start up, that is, but I have srs heavy-hitter drugs for that eventuality!

I enjoy - ... hmm. I'll have to get back to you about that! I might not enjoy anything at the moment.
Previewing this before I submit it, that sounds too depressing to have come from me. I like playing the oboe, and studying interesting literature, but I don't know what is interesting, so have to refer to a research committee.

I read a library book about web coding years ago but had to put it back because I was getting a headache. It might have to do with my concurrent health condition, though, not the subject of the book. In fact, I have to take medicine for that right now because it is 9PM.

My "light sister" (best friend from fifth grade) Seren loves knitting.
I remember a friend named Trina who loved musical theater from high school. IDK anything about it myself. My ex-aunt loved Elvis Presley. (Ex in that she is no more, not in that my uncle divorced her. It's OK, I am no longer sad, my s.o. comforted me enough.)

I don't have any children so what you wrote is fine.
I hope my rambles are not depressing.

I like Thumper's philosophy! I think this is a match! n_n

Hello! I love stationery and journaling as well! My post is here if you're interested!

Sounds great, I added you :)

Hello, I'd like to follow! I'm an illustrator and love scrapbooking pretty stationery in my journal/planner as a more relaxing and low-stakes artistic endeavor! I currently have Animal Crossing running with headphones so I can listen for balloons while I finish painting my current project... gotta get those seasonal DIYs. So uh... lol, lots of things jumped out at me in your post.

"things I do, stuff I create, places I travel, shows I see, media I consume, and introspection" I enjoy reading about these things! Though I'm often AWOL from DW for long stretches with unpredictable flurries of reading/interacting activity.

Sure, I added you :)

I'm interested in adding you simply because I love Moomin. But I do also like Sims games, horror genre, and early 2000s internet.

I just started posting to Dreamwidth and looking for friends, but just from this description I would love to be friends with you. I am not sure exactly what my Dreamwidth posts will be like yet, but I live in Japan so if I post about that it might bring back memories for you! I have a lot of relatives in Sweden so I am very intrigued by daily life in Scandinavia. I don't know a ton about musical theater, but I was in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in college and my favorite musical is Chess!

Sounds good, I added you :)

Thanks :D

You seem like someone to whom I can relate. Adding you if I may.

I’ve been missing a couple of weeks, but I’ve added you back
