Seeking New Friends

Name: Georgiana or Georgie. Neither is my legal name, but they are what I use here.

Age: Thirty-nine.

I mostly post about: Entries may consist of anything from short summaries of my day, to surveys, to essays on various topics, to interesting links and quotes that I find, along with my commentary on them. I also write about dandyism, antique menswear, dating (mostly opinions and what I am seeking), and occasionally, about blindness. I try to avoid politics and modern celebrities, since neither interests me. I wish to keep my journal light and happy, though if I must discuss something important, I do so. Most of my journal is public, but adult-oriented posts are age-restricted and put behind cuts.

My hobbies are: studying dandyism, Received Pronunciation, Latin, and the Regency. I also like coffees, teas, nasal snuffs, antique menswear and accessories (no feminine clothing or makeup), chamber music, gardening, crafts, nature documentaries, cooking and baking, and playing cards and dice. I love wit, wordplay, and sarcastic humour without vulgarity. I realise that some of these are not hobbies, but they are interests.

My fandoms are: I don't have any.

I'm looking to meet people who: are positive, who share my interests and can introduce me to some new ones, and who enjoy at least some elements of high culture. While the minimum age I will add is twenty-one, I tend to get along with those who are older than I, particularly seniors.

My posting schedule tends to be: I usually post once per day, sometimes more, though there have been instances in which I didn't post for awhile.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: minors (I prefer at least over twenty-one), depression and/or anxiety that's a significant part of your life, bad self-esteem, drama, drugs, religion or politics (if you constantly write about them), a lot of bad grammar and spelling, and excessive use of obscenities. Please note that I am totally blind, so if you mostly post images, I won't be able to comment on them, as I cannot see them.

Before adding me, you should know: I have no time for political correctness, lies, or drama. While I always try to be civil during discussions, I share my opinion without reservations. If you are easily offended, please do not add me. I have a very dry and witty sense of humour. Otherwise, feel free to read my profile and/or posts and add me if you wish. I will most likely reciprocate. I comment when I have something to say.

It's the drama I dislike over there. I have had problems with people trying to gatekeep certain kinds of writing even on Dreamwidth. It isn't very easy sometimes. I'll start following you and try to set you up with the filters to keep you out of anything messy I might post.

Small warning. I am in the middle of a personal housing crisis (our house was sold for taxes 2 years ago, and the county just told us the deadline to pay), so there may be some posting about that. I'll be making a unique tag for it, but most of it will be as public as possible since a friend is starting a GoFundMe for us. Ignore it as needed. Asking for help is not demanding. I've known that for years.

Thank you for your quick reply.
