GenX and looking for more peeps to add to my circle

[coffeetime]

Name: You can call me coffeetime. Note: please do not call me ma’am…I do not feel old, and I cringe when I get called that.

Age: 58! And as I said, I feel not so old, but it’s true I get in cheaper at the community pool as a “senior,” haha.

I mostly post about: My life. Sometimes just wacky stuff I see/hear/read. Some photos. Random and unplanned, usually, though I try to post my 1 Second Everyday video diary at the end of each month. My journal is locked, so comment if you’d like to be added.

My hobbies are: I’m awesome at starting projects I never finish. Right now I’m into cactuses, my loudmouth cat Nandor the Relentless, biking (not in the winter, not super hardcore), travel, food (it’s complicated), and I cannot stop watching TikToks about big change haircuts, fails, meows that get sampled into songs, food too complicated for me to make, aspirational plant spaces. And puzzles: I’m on a trivia team that plays every two weeks, my favorite puzzle is worldledaily.com, and it takes me months to finish a Sunday NYT crossword because I only start working on it about 5 minutes before I fall asleep. Don’t ask me to tackle sudoku, my brain is bad at mathy things.

My fandoms are: I’ve never been a superfan. I do have favorite podcasts, does that count?

I'm looking to meet people who: Post often about their lives (not just fandom and games, sorry, I’m not into these), enjoy conversation, are not racist/sexist/anti-queer/anti-science. Over 18 only, and over 40 would be welcome, since it's harder to meet peers at this age.

My posting schedule tends to be: weekly/monthly but sometimes more, sometimes less. In 2024 I'm trying to do at least weekly.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Terrible spelling, right-wing views, religious talk, "spiritual" things, Tesla enthusiasts

Before adding me, you should know: I used to have a livejournal, but I’m in favor of not giving money, clicks, etc. to them. I live where it's cold, but not like Svalbard cold. I don’t get enough vegetables for Complicated Reasons. I still wear a mask to the grocery store. I can’t sing. I like ironing. Thrifting is a lifelong passion. Unlike Mr. Jeremy Fisher, I do not live in a little damp house amongst the buttercups. I’m not ashamed of the bologna sandwiches of my youth, but I won’t be eating any henceforth. I work out a lot and if I post about that, it's not a judgment of people who don't work out. "A lot" is two words.

Yes, let's do this!

I learned a tiny bit of German many years ago and I hope to try it out someday. Alas, learning bits of other languages just polluted everything and I invariably spit out the wrong word when I attempt to speak anything but English. ;)

Awesome, I've added you back.

If you would like to have a conversation in German some time, just to practice, hit me up :)

I can relate, I've learned a couple languages on Duolingo and sometimes I just confuse them xD
