Me:

Comet, or Ju, 27, Brazilian, but I only post in English.

I mostly post about:

I like posting about things I may be into at the moment, like a game I played or something I’ve found interesting, and some basic thoughts about them. Mostly I have been logging in my Solo TTRPG plays, my Doronai Nui adventures mainly. Sometimes a post about real life, but not much. The plan is to just blog about anything I feel like sharing.

My hobbies are:

I play video games, I solo TTRPGs, I draw, I drabble, some fandoming, and some light toy collecting. Want to read more.

My fandoms are:

My main fandoms are Bionicle (G1) and Transformers (G1, Beast Wars, Skybound, Prime, and some IDW), I also like No Man’s sky, and have been getting into The Dark Crystal. And a little bit of many things. I have been playing a lot of Vintage Story.

My posting schedule tends to be:

Sporadic. I’ve made an effort to post more frequently, but it’s more interesting when I actually have something that has been on my mind.

I'm looking to meet people who:

Post similar things or may like similar things. I’m not around all the time, and I’m a bit quiet, so I don’t mind people who are similar.

1. Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?

My dad gave me a fiver a week that he put into a bank account I had. First it was with Leeds, then the Abbey National. I saved it mostly until I was a teenager, and then I mostly used it to go out with my friend Lisa Taylor. In sixth form every Tuesday we went to see the new film at the Commodore and then played air hockey at the Peir until the last bus. We went regardless of what film was playing and we watched some doozies lol. My mum gave me £2.50 every week on Monday to suppliment my free school meals allowance. 

2. How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
I was 16 and babysitting for the Moore-Colliers. My mum cleaned their house and they were both academics of some sort. Mrs Moore-Collier often worked in Edinborough and was away so I babysat for Mr Moore-Collier. They had two boys who were easy to look after and then Mr Moore-Collier would come home drunk more often and not, shove some money in my hand and send me home in the taxi that had brought him home. Mrs Moore-Colliar paid me exactly what she said she would, lol. 

3. Which do you do better: save money or spend money?
Spend. I used to be better at saving, when I was a kid, but I dunno, I got some independance. I can save for big purchases, like my bow and other stuff. But also, I sold some stuff on Vinted and have already spent the money before I got it.

4. Are people more likely to borrow money from you, or are you more likely to borrow from them?
I am more likely to borrow money. Definitely.

5. What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
My wife's cars. And my printer. It's an Epson Eco-tank 8550. My bow and extras cost less than 300 all told.

Hey everyone! My name is Leslie but I'm usually called Lilith online. Either works. I used to be on LiveJournal for years then fell away once Facebook became a thing. I am venturing back to LJ and I will also be posting here as well. I remember having really great connections on LJ and I am hoping to find that again.

Name:

 

Leslie aka Lilith. Either is fine.

Age:

45. I've always been an old soul and now my body is catching up.

I mostly post about:

I don't know yet. I think it's going to be mostly a diary kind of thing where I talk about my life and thoughts and dreams and goals and the nice stuff and the bad stuff. A little bit of everything that makes me ... me.

My hobbies are:

theater, acting, directing, doing tech, art, singing, writing, photography, anything NASA (I go to the Space Center a lot), thrifting, true crime, documentaries

My fandoms are:

Anything Broadway, Marvel, Wicked, paranormal shows, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Taylor Swift, etc

I'm looking to meet people who:

Are chill. Some things should be serious about some things, but also a sense of humor is great. I am very "woke" though. Please be aware I am "woke". I am also disabled and will talk about my illness and disability issues. And I am mom of an nonverbal son who is autistic and those subjects will come up. I am adult too so I'll bring up adult issues as well, like sex.

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

My goal is to post at least weekly, maybe twice a week. My illness can throw me for a loop and suddenly I can't sit up some days. So, it depends on my spoons.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

If you are conservative. We just won't connect or agree on things, and I am at the point in my life that I want peace. It's better to just move along. I'm also not Christian but I do have Christian friends, but I am not into Christian Nationalism. If you are, we won't be a good fit. I identify as pagan/witch. I'm also LGBTQIA+ and have a trans son.

Before adding me, you should know: I am unapologetically myself. I can be a strong personality and I will always say if I disagree with someone, but I won't be rude about it unless I am needing to match energy being thrown at me.

As part of my attempt to get a certificate of higher education in art I'm doing an intro to digital drawing and painting. Except I know how to use procreate - the basics - I was hoping for more guidance on how to use/choose the right brushes but maybe that's in the next one.

Anyway, here is a watercolour flower I drew as part of the course.

Blodyn Porffor is Welsh for purple flower.

Hi folks, I hope you all are doing well. Not good at doing these intro things, but I'll give it a try. I'm Lesley. I'm in my late thirties, happily married and I have one cat child. I love books of all types, I'm currently making my way through the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, Tv shows including The Golden girls, How I met your Mother, Grace and Frankie and others. I love all kinds of music, and I enjoy baking. I welcome people of all backgrounds and stuff, I'm a Christian myself. as for what I write about in here, To be honest, there's only one entry in here, but I plan on changing that. I will most likely write about daily life things, and sometimes about what I'm watching/reading/listening to as well as mental and physical health stuff. I am totally blind, so sometimes I will write about that. If there is anything else you wanna know, feel free to take a peak at the profile. I will be writing in here probably every few days to every week. Depends on the mood I'm in. I hope all of you have a good day, and if you celebrate them, happy holidays

Seeking New Friends

[personal profile] dandylover1 posting in [community profile] addme
Name: Georgiana or Georgie. Neither is my legal name, but they are what I use here and in most situations.

Age: Forty-two.

I mostly post about: Entries may consist of anything from short summaries of my day, to surveys, to essays on various topics, to interesting links and quotes that I find, along with my commentary on them. Lately, I have been writing reviews of opera recordings from the 1950's and earlier. I have no interest in politics and modern celebrities. I wish to keep my journal light and happy as much as possible.

My hobbies are: studying dandyism, Received Pronunciation, the Regency, and the Italian language, reading, writing, cooking, baking, playing cards and dice, and enjoying warm weather.

My Other Interests include: coffees, teas, antique menswear and accessories (usually Edwardian), chamber and classical music, old opera singers, plants and gardening, crafts, and history and nature documentaries. I love wit, wordplay, and sarcastic humour without vulgarity. I also love cats.

My fandoms are: I don't have any.

I'm looking to meet people who: are positive, who share my interests and can introduce me to some new ones, and who enjoy at least some elements of high culture. While the minimum age I will add is twenty-one, I tend to get along with those who are older than I, particularly seniors. I am also single and searching, but since this isn't a dating community, I'll just say that you can find more about that in one of the sticky entries in my journal. You can also find my Mastodon and Escargot.chat information there.

My posting schedule tends to be: It varies, from a few posts in a given week to a few in a single day. Often, I post what I call filler entries toward the end of the month. These are entries posted on one date but for another. I try to post a few entries per week.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: minors (I prefer at least over twenty-one), depression and/or anxiety (posted regularly), bad self-esteem, life drama, recreational drugs, religion or politics (posted regularly), a lot of bad grammar and spelling (unless you're learning English), and frequent obscenities. Please note that I am totally blind, so if you mostly post images, I won't be able to comment on them, as I cannot see them.

Before adding me, you should know: I have no time for political correctness, lies, or drama. While I always try to be civil during discussions, I share my opinion without reservations. If you are easily offended, please do not add me. I have a very dry and witty sense of humour. Otherwise, feel free to read my profile and/or posts and add me if you wish. I will most likely reciprocate. I also comment when I have something to say, but there are times when I don't read my friends' page for awhile, and I am trying to change that.

The Prodigal Son Returns

The lens didn't take too long: little more than a week (during a Thanksgiving week at that) and they returned the lens to me. I checked the form with anticipation as I had spent months--MONTHS--testing this lens to figure out what was wrong with it.

They confirmed that there was something wrong with the lens and had it fixed. I FEEL SO VALIDATED. Michelle felt like it was fine and I wasn't entirely sure so this was something I needed to confirm it.

TBF I don't think what was wrong with it was anything too big: it was very likely an element was out of place and that was screwing with the focus, but I gave it a test at the problem range and it looks so much better now. Thank god. Though to be honest, I was fine if they took a few months for parts, too.

Michelle wanted to celebrate by spending a night in Northern MD and going to the dam where the bald eagles go to give it a proper field test but we're waiting on some gifts for Secret Santa and some of the items just happened to be scheduled to come in on that weekend, so yeah, we canceled it.

By the way, I visited my parents this Thanksgiving and I saw a bald eagle flying around. Holy shit. The Hackey has really cleaned up if we're at this point imo.

Speaking of gifts, the stuff for the nephews mostly came in without a hassle and I have my usual batch of stuff prepped for Michelle. I must have been spending generously because I got my paycheck, prepped to do my usual credit card bills, and watched the entire paycheck go to those bills plus a little bit of the savings. I am a savior of the economy, thank me for my service! Christmas necessities are already taken care of so that's all that matters to me atm.

But yeah, Thanksgiving was fine; I made vegan dishes in case the SIL's GF came around and although she wasn't really around everyone seemed good with the dishes. Whew. Now to figure out what to do with all these cashews and this vegan parm... By the way, the in-laws went crazy with the food.

I'm now playing Battletech again because I missed it but also I want to goof off.

Work is still piling up though so maybe I need to knock it off.

I've got a lot of photos to work through because I've been going to the zoo more training my tracking but also getting Michelle more used to tracking which I think she really should get used to if she wants to take full advantage of that telephoto she has. I think that's the other reason she wants to see the bald eagles and get some practice sorting the process better. To be honest, different types of photography require different types of settings and I think she also understands that as well.

I probably should be using my time working on photos though, My system can't really handle juggling more than one resource-intensive task anyway. I'm probably being slower because my portfolio's been getting bigger these days. It's starting to feel like more of a job and I guess I wanted some time to step away from it, especially as a job where I'm making nothing from it lol

That's all I can really think of for this week, so gonna call it here. Hope everyone's good.

Name: Mistee

Age: 45

I mostly post about: I don't use it to post anything right now, I forgot I had this journal to be honest lol. I am going to turn it into a fandom/graphics blog though, with some other stuff sprinkled in probably. I don't usually post personal stuff online but have no problem discussing it with people in PM/DM if they're interested learning about me, etc..

My hobbies are: Fandom roleplaying (I only play fandom characters, but will rp with fandom or oc characters), gaming (mostly MMO's), reading manga or fanfics, watching anime or anything that catches my interest, getting back into icon/graphic making cuz I miss it, listening to music, watching movies.

My fandoms are: Teen Wolf (MTV show), Trigun Manga/Anime, and various others I'm trying to keep up with lol but those two are my biggest fixations right now.

I'm looking to meet people who: Have the same interests, being near or the same age is not necessary. I have friends from all different age ranges/walks of life.

My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I have the energy. I work from home due to medical problems, so my hours are roughly 8am-630pm Central Standard time, Mon-Fri. Though I am mostly around a lot of the time.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Discrimination, ableism, racism, animal cruelty, transphobia, gay-phobia, bigotry, speaking negatively about LGBTQ+, honestly any of the bad shit lol.

Before adding me, you should know: I am chronically online due to medical issues/being disabled so I am around a LOT. Going to be around even more so due to our work's reduction of hours they're putting into place soon so I'm going to have a LOT of free time coming up to work with lol. I also mostly connect through either Discord or Plurk.

A fun fact about me is that I have a Guinness World Record and a star named after me. :)

Name: Sam

Age: 30's

I mostly post about:

I write about my learning journey from zero (not really) to masters in Computer Science, with the goal of getting formal admissions into a program under 2 years. I have a lot of IT applied experience, but now I want to be able to master the material and also for myself learn as much as I can about the topics of programming systems, Linux, and math. For math, I really do know very little. I would very much like to improve that.


My hobbies are:

I like to play video games, take walks, and exercise. My favorite games right now are Lord of the Rings Online and Guild Wars. I also play retro games and am going through the Harvest Moon series on the original DS.


My fandoms are:

I don't invest a lot of energy into fandoms. But I like Linux. I think that counts.


I'm looking to meet people who:

Journals about goals, dreams, and ideas. I do enjoy reading about criticisms, first draft essays, and general naval gazing.


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

Sporadic with a weekly update on what I'm learning.


When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

I want to avoid negative spaces, so if you are constantly ranting about how terrible things are, I understand. I'm going to put a positive energy in my journal.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
