waving from a land far, far away.
Name: Syrene
Age: 37
I mostly post about: WRITING. No, honestly, 99% of my entries will talk about what I'm working on currently (the chances that it's historical fiction are good), what plans I have for writing, my story ideas (it's mostly original, once in a while fanfic) and asking for input and/or help with stuff I'm doing, writing-wise. OTHER THAN THAT, my posts are about everyday stuff, some family drama which is an ongoing issue, health since I broke my ankle very badly in January and still am in a process of rehabilitation, therapy things and similar. But, yeah, 99% writing.
My hobbies are: Writing, Dreamwidth roleplaying, obscure Japanese musicals (Takarazuka), watching ballet and reading/doing a lot of research, making icons (I'm not very good at it, but it's a nice pastime) and spending way too much time on Discord.
My fandoms are: A lot of classic literature (Sappho, Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias, Mishima's Spring Snow, Vivien's A Woman Appeared to Me) and other literature (big Murakami and André Aciman fan), plus some ballet fandoms - I call myself the Queen of Obscure Fandoms, because most of my fandom participation is in fandoms where I am the only one or one of a few who have uploaded fic to AO3. I used to be very engaged in the community around the Royal Danish Ballet and attended almost everything they put on, but after covid that has unfortunately changed, I am, however, still a big ballet enthusiast although from afar and with a more nostalgic approach to it, looking back fondly on old memories.
I'm looking to meet people who: Will gush with me about beautiful things (writing, ballet, films, whatever) and discuss writing stuff with me or literature and sometimes come with thoughts and comments on the rest of the things I post about.
My posting schedule tends to be: Generally a couple of times a week, once in a while several times a day.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Politics. I am politically invested, as most people are, but in my DW space, I just don't have spoons for all that negativity, worry and ranting. I've got enough of that in real life. So, my journal is as far as possible a politics-free zone.
Before adding me, you should know: I sometimes take long breaks from posting, due to mental health reasons, but I always come back after a month or two and will as a rule keep people updated on what went down. As part of writing about my RL, I will touch upon my relationship (I'm a lesbian in an almost 20-year-long relationship this year), past school and family trauma (though I never go into great detail), my interest in religion (mostly academically these days, but I grew up pretty Protestant Christian) and mental health issues like anxiety and bipolar disorder. If that isn't your cup of tea, you should probably not friend me.

It’s always valuable to see the world through someone else’s eyes, especially yours.

I hope you gain something from it, in that case!
I'm following you back, hope that's okay.

I'm from Denmark, forgot to say, hahaha. I just added you and look forward to seeing you around my journal and learning more about you, too. Hi!

Another person who has been through the forever and ever rehab game! *wave-wave*
It sounds like we might make reasonable friends.
I have always been trying to spend next semester in Europe. And then it doesn't work out.
So then it turns into next semester in Europe. And then it doesn't work out.
So then it turns into next semester in Europe. And then it doesn't work out.
So then I went to China. That worked out.
But then I had to save up for next semester in Europe. But that didn't work out.
So then it turned into next semester. Etc. It has been a long, frustrating, and disappointing game.
I had to check your (and my) profile to see if we were already friends.
It seems like not yet.
Would you like to accept my friend request?
I have only heard stories about my English friends visiting Denmark. I wonder if it's like how here in Pennsylvania we often flock to Delaware, for the tax-free shopping. I am American, myself. I have never been to Europe before. I've only read stories about there being less congestion on the roads.
Ooh ._. I researched that there is up to a 52.07% tax in Denmark. Wow! That's a lot!
But I am sure that it is for a better way of life.
So, you like to make icons? ^_^ Wow! I made this icon, too!! This icon is a self-portrait I made which my family told me looks remarkably like myself in person. I think that we can make friends, therefore. Would you like to be my friend?
/tbh I dislike being so open and outgoing, but since asking for friendship is nothing like being forced to do retail, it is much more manageable.
oh no, sorry to hear that!
Hope you'll one day be able to go to Europe for a semester.
Taxes in Denmark are the eternal debate, but it works for us for the most part, so I think it's a good thing.
I've made all the icons for this journal, too. It's a nice icon you've made, very lovely.
Onwards and upwards!
I hope that I will be in Europe in the fall, or the spring after that. If it comes to it, possibly the fall after that. Maybe the fall afterwards. I might have to enunciate more active, exacting plans about what specifically I want to do, to more people than just the inboxes of one or two busy people in England. But then again, I don't know what exactly my plan is, so I might have been frustratingly vague with everybody involved. I am good with languages according to the professors who have instructed me. Persisting with any one in particular is difficult though.
My high school politics and economics teacher had some sort of surgery in Denmark when I was in his class. I think it was that he spent spring break overseas and told the class all about how its health care is so stellar afterwards. I think he had appendicitis and had his appendix removed free of charge, but this memory is getting to be sort of old by now so it might have been some other malady...
I am impressed! Some of the icons for this journal I made, some are looted from my LJ - which I have kept since I was a sophomore in high school - the same name a livejournal account instead of a dreamwidth one, and some are gifts from other users.

Also I'm a transman, but consider myself a lesbian, at least shapphic as well. I'm subscribing to you and giving you access.
P.S I think I made one political post nad haven't made one since. I might post about what's happening in the LGBTQ community as well, especially concerning topics. If that's a dealbreaker, just let me know.
