Do you have any pets?? Yes, a cat named Lucy who's 15 years old and the light of my life ♥ How long have you been online journaling? I've been doing it on and off for years...I think I started my first LJ back in 2002 or so o_O blows my mind that was 22 years ago! Why do you like online journaling? It's a great way of getting out my thoughts, figuring things out along the way and especially getting input from others. Writing down stuff in a physical, private journal might be nice, but hearing feedback and sometimes advice is much better/helpful!
It is also a great way to keep my English skills on a decent level...writing in German feels weird these days xD and lastly, meeting people from all walks of life, being able to get a glimpse into others' lives (as I am a curious type) and expanding my mind by getting different perspectives on anything. What are some of your hobbies? Reading, taking walks, hanging out with friends, listening to music, doing jigsaw puzzles, colouring in adult colouring books, taking pictures, going to concerts, travelling, playing Pokemon Go, cooking, listening to podcasts, cuddling my cat ♥
Favorite bands/artists: ohhh so many! gonna list some favourites from the top of my head, but I am sure I'll forget a lot. Nightwish, Within Temptation, A Day to Remember, Bring me the Horizon, Ice Nine Kills, Billie Eilish, Marina, Florence & the Machine, Olivia Rodrigo, GAYLE, Taylor Swift (haters gonna hate!), Alan Doyle, Great Big Sea, Shanneyganock, Kellie Loder, Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks, Derina Harvey Band, Chris de Burgh, Freya Ridings...and yeah, so many more! Favorite TV shows: I don't watch a lot of TV, and if I do, I often forget I started a show and never finish it lol. I do like The Crown, Law & Order:SVU, Stranger Things & Wednesday and have in the past enjoyed Breaking Bad, Call the Midwife, Pushing Daisies, Modern Family, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Frontier & Republic of Doyle. Favorite movies: Anything starring Meryl Streep ♥ and also Despicable Me 1-3, the Minions movies, The Secret Life of Pets 1 & 2, Kinsey, If these walls could talk II, Extremities, Forrest Gump, The Chinese Botanist's Daughters, Imagine Me & You, Creep 1 & 2, Little Evil, The Hunger Games series; and I also love so-bad-its-good animal horror movies (think Attack of the Killer Bees xD) Favorite books: OMG this is such a tough question! Some faves: "Lolita" (V. Nabokov), "Middlesex" (J. Eugenides), "The Wrong Boy" (W. Russell), The Hunger Games series (S. Collins), "Ms Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children" series (R. Riggs)...and many more! I love non-fiction books on topics like psychology, true crime, sociology, feminism, racism etc. as well. Used to be a huge Potterhead but I don't feel comfortable with the series anymore since I realised what kind of person JKR is :( Other fandoms: I don't really have fandoms so I will list some more interests. Unicorns, true crime, serial killers (I don't idealize or glorify them and their crimes though and I don't want anything to do with those "Bundy fangirls" and the like!), intersectional feminism/social justice, veganism (I don't care what you eat and won't try to "convert" anyone tho).
Also, two years ago I fell in love with the Canadian island of Newfoundland, its culture, music, dialect (it's one of a kind!) and everything about it. While I am not as obsessed with it as I was when learning about it first, I still enjoy looking at pics, reading about it etc. and might sometimes drop facts or just mention related stuff. I know it's quite an odd obsession/special interest but so it goes. xD
Is your journal friends only, partial or public?: Friends only. I want to know who is reading my stuff and don't want to have it out there for just everyone. How often do you update?: Well, I have been going through some health struggles (mental and physical) in the past month or so, so I've been on a hiatus. However, I'm ready to slowly get back now (or else I wouldn't look for new friends ;)). I am aiming for a weekly update and will do my best to also read my flist at least once a week. What do you want in an DW friend?: Kind, open-minded and understanding people. As I have some mental health issues (even though I've gotten much better over the past couple years), please be aware that my journal isn't always rainbows and puppies. I am going to keep the whining to a minimum, but I also need to be comfortable with letting out all my feelings here without fearing that it might be too much for someone. So if you dislike "too much negativity", you might give me a pass. (I don't mean this to sound as rude as it probably does, sorry :().
The usual "no bigotry" rules apply, even though I don't think anyone would think of themselves as a bigot?!? this picture sums it up quite well:
Any closing words/quotes/pictures/gifs/anything else you'd like to add: I know I might sound complicated or arrogant but I promise I am really quite approachable and nice...just bad at selling myself lol. Please reply to this thread or comment on my Friends Only post before adding me, thank you ♥
