icons | Friending meme, and Holiday cheer!

Hi everyone!

Tis' the season for more giving, and cheer. Along with our Friending meme, I thought it would be a great to also post your Holiday season themed icons on this entry, for all to enjoy! Are exchanging Christmas cards your thing? You might make someone's day!

Lets make some new friends, to keep our online journaling aesthetic alive!

Just copy and paste this code below as a comment, and let the friendships begin!
Feel free to reference this Friending Meme to others too!
(you can take out some of the questions to your liking as well.)

Name/Preferred Name: Rina.
Age/Location: 40/Germany.
Occupation: I am self-employed concerning tarot/cartomancy readings, horoscopes, numeroscopes, rune casting, etc. that I offer for my clients.

Do you have any pets?? Yes :3. Six cats and a dog.
How long have you been online journaling? Since 2001 (LJ - So for 23 years now), so... Since I was about 16 (I started one month before my 17th birthday)? I blame several friends of mine who started journaling on there, and honestly, I met a lot of lovely people this way!
Why do you like online journaling? I think it has the potential to make people feel less lonely in general, and to increase empathy for other people in general, because you get to see the world through their emotional lense either way. It is fascinating.
What are some of your hobbies? Making music and songwriting, listening to music, learning about topics I am interested in (music theory, musical instruments, all kinds of cultures around the world, animals (I especially love seals!), philosophy, spirituality, psychology in general, ...), dancing, creative writing, learning foreign languages, travelling, drawing, video games (As of recently, I am mainly into playing old-school games like Worms Armageddon or Rollercoaster Tycoon, and I now started playing Harvey's New Eyes, too.), ...

Favorite bands/artists: Oh, there are many. I listed a bunch in my profile info, but my absolute favourites are Közi and all of his projects - Dälle, E//+Z, Eve Of Destiny, Köziy & Sadiy, Malice Mizer, Vamquet, Xa-Vat, and ZIZ of course!
Favorite TV shows: Currently mainly Bob's Burgers, Spongebob Squarepants (I am late to the party, I know), Futurama, some old The Simpsons episodes, BBC Ghosts, Horrible Histories (at least the excerpts I saw from it thus far :D), etc.
Favorite movies: Labyrinth, Dead Poets Society, Inside Out, Bara No Konrei, Bram Stoker's Dracula, What We Do In The Shadows, Trainspotting, Interview With The Vampire, Encanto, Fight Club, Velvet Goldmine, Verte Aile, and Soul. But there are loads more still.
Favorite books: My absolute favourite of all time is probably "Living Out Loud" by Keri Smith (She is also responsible for Wreck This Journal, if anybody remembers.). I also really enjoyed "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon (I at least think this was his name...), "Your Head Is A Houseboat" by Campbell Walker, and all books Marianne Curley released. And all books by Dr Brian Weiss that I read thus far.
Other fandoms: Hm. As of now, I think this about sums it up.

Is your journal friends only, partial or public?: Friends only. I used to write public entries, and there are still some entries that remain that, but as of the newer ones... Friends only.
How often do you update?: I try to do so at least once a week. Recently it has been more, though.
What do you want in an DW friend?: As long as you are kind-hearted, open-minded, and just overall true to who you are, I think we will get along well. I cannot stand people who live for being cruel to others, esp. in terms of racism, fascism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and animal cruelty.
Any closing words/quotes/pictures/gifs/anything else you'd like to add: I recently stumbled over the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" in alphabetical order, and I found this hilarious, to say the least. :P

I can't believe I came across someone who enjoys Malice Mizer here! OMG. The memories of my early visual kei days came back in full force when I read your taste in music. I'm so sad that Spotify doesn't have so much of my favorite Japanese music, damn.

I love your vibe overall and would love to be friends ♥. I wrote more about me in my own comment in this entry, but I've also made public on my journal my own intro post if you want to take a peek :3

I read through your comment on here, and am currently reading the one on your journal :). (My Ascendant is Virgo, too, btw :D.) I think we will get along well, and I would love to learn more about your life!

We used to have a cat called Silvester once, too, btw. He was a kitten born to our female cat Minka on June 3rd, 1994, and was born around midnight. He was a really cute one, brown with black stripes (So a brown tabby, I think ^^.). I remember he was very fond of food... Back then, Minka had three boys (one grey tabby, one brown tabby, and one all-black) and three girls (one grey tabby, one calico, and one brown tabby). As for Malice Mizer and VK, this is one of my longest music loves of all time! I think Közi, Mana, and Kaya recently travelled to Chile and Mexico? I am not sure about Mexico, but Közi sang a song called "Dubi Dubi Da" at one of the events... *babbles*

I will add you in a minute. :)

I am so out of the news for everything VK related! But I remember that in the 2010s Moi dix Mois was going to come to Argentina, I got my ticket and then they cancelled T_T I was so so sad!

Friending meme, and Holiday cheer!
