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."

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!
