Newbie looking for friends

[wi110w]

Name: wi110w (alias)

Age: 32 male

I mostly post about: Microblog, Internet interests, gaming (older), and maybe chess. I'll keep work-related material out of this journal.

My hobbies are: Urban biking, writing, and gaming

My fandoms are: Bea and Puppycat, Gilmore Girls, Eurekaseven, Greek and English Literature

I'm looking to meet people who: can entertain ideas. I'm a well-educated, small-city urbanite. I'm looking for intellectual-type folks who like to dig into problems but also chill out with a camp movie. I enjoy spending my evenings with a regular critic columnist and the adventurist, working-class foodie. My professional circle includes a lot of smart tech people from many backgrounds, so I'm looking outside of my comfort zone and going back to my Humanities major roots. I like solving big system problems, but that is only day stuff material.

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Please don't add me if you must know my first name and my work and my city.

Before adding me, you should know: I have been here before but have taken about a 5 year break. I felt like my journal was too serious, and I want a place to be social without talking too seriously. I don't mind reading other people's rants. I just want to not rant here. I'm still working on my journal design, and then I will start posting soon. Thanks for reading!

Go White Sox!

Welcome back to Dreamwidth!! :D Not sure if I'm the kind of person you're looking for (I am also a tech person 😆) but otherwise I feel like we have similar general interests-- hope it's OK I went ahead and added you :-)

Hi -- thanks for the kind words in my journal and here. I believe people can self-select, so we'd likely get-along. :^) I am a bit distracted as of late, but I'll check out your latest entry soon.

[blueshiftofdeath]

Great!! :D Thanks for adding me :^)

I've been way out of my routine recently (moving!!) so my latest entries are very non-standard for me 🙈 but I hope you enjoy poking around on there regardless! No pressure to comment or anything though, just so you know! (I love that Dreamwidth has a very low-stress culture where people don't feel like they're obligated to comment on posts, especially within any particular timeframe.)

Hey there! Added you :) I'm also interested in tech although I'm more of a learning-by-doing type and thus not formally educated or anything. Feel free to take a look around my journal and add me if it interests you. No hard feelings otherwise.

(Also Bee and Puppycat <3)

Hi -- thanks for the add. Yes, I think we share some interests, especially Bee and Puppycat. Pretty Patrick is my favorite. :^)

You would probably enjoy my Recurring Posts and some of my random links. I like big-picture questions very much. Currently I'm running Philosophical Questions on Saturdays. I also have tags for Recipes and I like to review cookbooks. I am very much rural rather than urban, though.

Hi! I added you :), Im new to DW so I’m not sure if you can see my https://addme.dreamwidth.org/ intro thing, but i also came here to post more intellectual content, at least on my main journal, and just in general we have a lot of similar interests lol. Hopefully it’s alright I just added you already bc you seem pretty chill :)
