hast du etwas zeit für mich?
Name: You can call me by my username on here, or Beau for short. :) He/him
Age: Approaching my mid 20s... against all odds!
I mostly post about: Personal stuff, so musings about life, what I'm doing, mental health. I'm also a hobbyist writer, mostly original literary fiction, so I might post about the stuff I'm writing and the process behind it as well. My current WIPs are still very rough around the edges, however.
My hobbies are: Writing. Reading: mostly literary fiction, historical fiction, classics, but I'll read anything that interests me. Listening to music: old indie stuff, twee, new wave, Britpop, shoegaze. (My username is a reference to a song by the Magnetic Fields - so bonus points if you know the exact song!) Films, TV shows. Learning about history, languages, politics, philosophy, and similar topics. Astrology, from time to time.
My fandoms are: Not really a fandom person these days, sadly. Recently I wrote a fic for Trainspotting, and attempted to write some for the show Derry Girls... if that gives you any idea.
I'm looking to meet people who: I share interests with, as well as those who post about personal stuff. I'd also like to meet other writers, whether you write original fiction, fanfiction, or non-fiction. Age doesn't matter as long as you're over 18. Overall, just cool people who are down to interact and foster friendships.
My posting schedule tends to be: No set schedule, but I'd like to post as often as I can.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Conservative and right wing ideologies. Not that I get into politics a lot, but I'm pretty left-wing myself and I think that comes through with what I post regardless.
Before adding me, you should know:

Before adding me, you should know:
- I'm new to Dreamwidth (though I've lurked around a bit over the years) so I'm still trying to get the hang of things and finding my footing.
- While I like keeping a light-hearted atmosphere especially when interacting, I also want to have the freedom to express some not-so-positive things as a form of catharsis. The fiction I write also may deal with darker themes from time to time. They'll all be hidden under cuts of course. So just keep that in mind...
- My time zone is GMT+8/Philippine Standard Time.

First off, I'm German so your subject line caught my eyes, haha. That song is still so good, a real classic after all these years.
Secondly, I think we'd get along as we have a reasonable amount of stuff in common, I also love reading, (almost) all kinds of music, history, languages and politics (pretty left-wing myself) and "Derry Girls" was such a good show!
I completely do understand using your journal as a means of catharsis, it's what has helped me a lot before.
Want to give it a try?

It does sound like we have similar interests, so that's exciting! Regarding history, and since you're German: the GDR/DDR has always been a topic I found fascinating, haha. And I've lost count at the amount of times I've rewatched Derry Girls - definitely among my favourites.
That's good to hear how it's helped you! It has for me as well, though I've never had an audience to my entries before - but it's worth a shot, right?
And for sure, I'd love to be friends/mutuals/whatever the right terminology is here, haha. ^^" Is it okay to add? :)
no subject
It is fascinating for sure!
Yes, go ahead, I am going to add you now, as well :)

Definitely over 18, without too much trouble. *cough* Politics... I'd generally consider myself centre-left by UK standards, if that helps. I don't have reliably "100% solid left" views on absolutely everything, but I'm definitely not going to start supporting the likes of Donald Trump!
My DW is 90%+ public, so by all means have a look to see if you might like to read it. No problem and no offence taken if not, or if you add me and then find we're not clicking and decide to move away. :)
no subject
It seems we have quite a bit in common, and the slight difference in political views doesn't bother me. I did scroll through your DW a bit and enjoyed the content, the pictures as well, so I'll add if you don't mind? And likewise of course, no offence if you feel the same towards mine - though there isn't a lot of posts yet, so whether you jive with it or not remains to be discovered, haha. :P
no subject
And thank you for the kind comments about my DW. I just ramble on about what comes into my head, but then I've done that since starting on LJ over 20 years ago, so you're all stuck with it now!

A bit about me - I'm in my 40's, am pagan, I play a few instruments (bass guitar and trombone being my main ones), I love music... mostly all kinds, but what I listen to the most could be called goth rock. I also listen to a lot of jazz and a pretty fair amount of classical.
I do write, mostly ghost stories and urban fantasy. I have one book self-published on Amazon that I co-authored with my wife.
I have an almost 3 year old daughter... I have a son also, a few years older, but he died in NICU. Long story there.
Politics... I would say I'm libertarian, and still am in principle, but I don't like the far-right direction the party took in recent years. So, "small l libertarian"... or classical liberal. With that, I have some stances some associate with the right - a bit of a gun nut, free-market capitalist, that sort of thing... but not the bigotry or anti-choice stances associated with the right. Basically, "don't hurt people, don't take their stuff." I actually did run for office some few years back. I put most of my political stuff behind a cut, though.
Anyway, I have a sticky up on my page if you want to check it out.

Politically, we share the same stance re: bigotry, anti-choice... I grew up around guns because my dad is into them, so I've never been afraid of them, but regarding policy towards them I'm ambivalent. Economically, I lean more towards some form of socialism. In my case, it stems from me basically thinking that everyone should be assured a good living standard. I don't really get into it a lot, so we shouldn't butt heads, but it would also be under a cut in case I ever do.
Let me know if you're still down to add each other!
no subject
If it helps to know, we have the same goal here, but different ways toward it. It actually took me a while to understand it myself, but there aren't a lot of people who can explain it without coming off as a jerk.
