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.

Hiya. I'm Christina. I'd love to add you if that is ok.

I am getting back into the flow of posting and interacting on here, so things may be sporadic for a little while. But when I do post my daily life stuff. Pets, life, crafts, gardening stuff, etc.
I tend to avoid writing about politics, religion, or most things news related (unless it's cutsie happy news). I did just put up a sticky note on my journal with some About Me type things, so feel free to check that out and see if you want to add me.

I love that you added that "A lot" is two words. 😄
Thanks to The Oatmeal comic I will forever think of a fuzzy creature when I see 'Alot' used anywhere instead of 'a lot'.💖

Sure, and I also have a sticky just for new peeps, so my old peeps don't have to read all my old stories again.
