Name: Lea

Age:

Old. *coughs* (early 50’s) I actually do not feel old but when I see that number it does always tend to throw me - how did that happen? Lolol

I mostly post about:

I’m just getting back in DW after about five years of not posting much at all. I am hoping to return to my old habits of posting a little bit of everything: fandom musings, books that I’m reading, tv that I’m watching, music I’m listening to mixed in with various day to day life ruminations.

My hobbies are:

photography though I’ve not been engaging in it much lately. I also like to write, read, and am trying my hand at learning new graphic art programs. Some day I’d like to learn to crochet too.

My fandoms are:

Mostly Star Wars these days. I’m an old school fan of the originals from seeing them as a kid. I also really like the Mandalorian. :D Other fandoms I flirt with include the original Superman films, Smallville (or as I like to call it Crackville), other DCU things (though I wasn’t much of a fan of the films to be honest), old school tv shows like MASH and Northern Exposure, Buffy, and I should mention my online fandom life started with Harry Potter and I was very active in that fandom for years but have since lost enthusiasm thanks to JKR’s bigotry though I do still occasionally skim new fanfic once in a while. I no longer contribute to any of the franchise financially.

I'm looking to meet people who:

Share various interests, are fun, like minded, caring, and have a sense of humor.

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc

I’m going to try to post a few times a week. Will see how that goes.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

If you’re a MAGA please don’t bother. I don’t really want to post about political matters but that is a huge deal breaker for me. Also, if you’re racist, sexist, homophobic or anti-science we probably won’t get along well.

Before adding me, you should know: Even though I said I don’t really want to post about political matters I should state upfront that I’m fairly liberal and that will probably come out from time to time in things that I say and talk about. I engage in fandom spaces / LJ-DW blogging to escape so I don’t think I will post about things such as that often but it may come up at times. (Though I hope to use this space as a refuge!) Let’s see what else - I have ADHD and at times can be very forgetful though I’m working really hard to curb that! Anything else and you’ll probably find out on my journal. :)

Hi, I'm a 61 year old divorced librarian in New York City. I live alone with my cat and my turtle. I post mostly about my daily life, and I'm kinda' boring but I post every single day so you always have something to read. I think you sound compatible, so I'm going to add you, hope you add me back.

Hi! I will go right ahead and add you - I look forward to getting to know you. :)

Hi! I’m in my 30s and I love Star Wars, Buffy, & MASH. I used LJ for years but took a few years break and got into DW coming on 2 years now. Would you like to be friends?

Yes! I'd love to be friends! Anyone with a Grogu icon is cool in my book. :D

Hello yes, I'm a fellow fandom person! I like The Mandalorian and Grogu, and I also dislike MAGAts. I'm 40 but also have no idea how that happened. If you want to friend me, feel free to do so and I'll add you back ASAP!

Hi there! Sounds great - I will add you right away. :D

Yay! Added you back!

Hi there :)
I'm Tina, 35 (hopefully that's not too young for you?) and live in Germany. I love reading and photography & used to be a big Harry Potter fan but by now share your feelings on JKR :(

I am also liberal/left-wing when it comes to politics and my journal posts are similar to yours when it comes to content.

Want to give it a try?

35 is absolutely not too young! <3 I would love to be friends - I'll go ahead and add you right now. :)

Awesome, I've added you back :)

Hi. I also am a photographer who writes and reads a lot.

Hi! Want to be friends? I'll add you. :)

Sounds good!

Awesome. :)

Hi! I think we'd get along very well. Love photography and I post photos in bursts. :) I also do crochet, don't do as much fannish anything as I used to, but like to read, and am absolutely not MAGA. Add?

Hi! I would love to be friends - I will add you right now. :)

Hurray! We're also in the same age group. Bonus! And did I see hiking in your interests too? I love hiking though I've had to back off quite a bit recently.

I used to love hiking but it's sadly been a while due to knee issues but I am hopeful to get back to it! :D

Hi! I hope you don’t mind I added you! I’m 45, liberal, and we also share quite a few interests. I just did a massive overhaul of my journal so there’s not a lot there atm but I’m hoping to post more regularly this year. I miss the old LJ days as well!!

I don't mind at all - LOVE the MASH icon, too. :D I'll add you back. :)

Thanks! I have a small set of MASH icons that I made which are posted on my journal. Feel free to nab any that you like. :)

Would love to be friends.

My two cats love your squirrel profile icon. 😻

Hi hi! Sorry it took me a bit - I haven't been on DW much in the past couple of weeks and just saw this. I would love to be friends. :) Adding you!

THANK YOU 😻
