Coming back after a while away

[dreamingpixels]

Name: Beth

Age: early 40s

I mostly post about: My life in general, my cat, my hobbies, my mental health nonsense, sometimes my work (I work in IT, specifically in tech training)

My hobbies are: reading (sci-fi/fantasy mostly), watching TV (mostly sci-fi, I love me some late 90s sci-fi), tabletop RPGs, live-action roleplaying, video games (occasionally), technology, crafting

My fandoms are: Star Trek, Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica (2004), Farscape, The Expanse (books and TV), Severance, The Boys (tv), and pretty much everything Brandon Sanderson's written

I'm looking to meet people who: share similar interests (though it's not required), are close in age, or just want to make some new friends here

My posting schedule tends to be: erratic (blame the ADHD)

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

• people who are anti-LGBTQ+
• MAGA assholes
• TERFs
• minors (sorry, kids)
• journals that are primarily fanfiction

Before adding me, you should know: I'm polyamorous and talk about my relationships, because they're a big part of my life. I'm also neurodivergent - diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and likely have autism as well but haven't officially been diagnosed; I'll also probably ramble about that as well.

I'm coming back to Dreamwidth after a not-quite-five-year break, with one little posting blip from 2022 - so at the moment there's not a lot of recent posts on my journal. I've been on and off DW since the closed beta in 2009, and imported all my LJ history here too, so I've got something like 24 years of history on this account - which is kind of impressive, now that I think about it.

Hello! I have an about me here: https://cassie-faith.dreamwidth.org/276.html

Thanks for sharing that! (I need to make an "about me" post of my own for my journal.) It looks like we have a few things in common (knitting, cats, enjoying TV and movies), and while I'm not particularly religious myself, we share some similar views on religion. I'm going to add you - feel free to add me back!

Hi, 39 F here. I also post about my life in general, my dogs, my art/craft, my mental health and physical health, and my work too. Plus I am a sci-fi fan - books, shows, movies. Would love to connect!

[dreamingpixels]

Fantastic - I added you! :) Feel free to add me back.

I'd like to add you if you don't mind. I typically post about daily life, outdoor stuff, creative pursuits and gaming.

[dreamingpixels]

That's fine with me! I'll add you back - based on your profile, it looks like we've got some interests in common. :)

Hi Beth!
I would like to be friends, as we have a bunch of stuff in common...I also have a cat, am likely on the autism spectrum and love reading. I write about my daily life mostly, as well, and enjoy reading about other people's lives. My name is Tina, I'm 36 and live in Germany :)

Want to give it a try?

[dreamingpixels]

Sure! I'll add you. :)

[yourivy]

Yay! Added you back :)

I went ahead and added you so you can see my "addme" type post; let me know if we seem compatible or not. :)

Hi! I know it's a while ago that you posted this now, but you seem really cool and I hope you don't mind if I add you. We've definitely got a few things in common in the hobbies and relationships departments and I think we could have a lot to talk about!
