DREAMWIDTH FRIENDING MEME

Heyo!

So after a few plurk discussions, the want to start journaling again a la Livejounal came up a few different places, and this idea was born!

We ask if you participate, that you attempt to post 1-3 time a week, and comment as much as possible to help jump start personal journaling here on dreamwidth. And if you use your journal already (or if you start from here) we'd love a link back to this meme! The more the merrier!

You can also follow this community for both daily writing prompts and a monthly friending meme!

To participate, copy and paste this in a comment, fill it out, and go make some friends!

YOU
Name| Wei
Age| 30
Other platforms| zeroq1 weijiangling wei_jiangling expcreations
Fandoms| Kamen Rider (OOO mostly but expanding), Doctor Who, Yuri on Ice, lots of visual novels and sci-fi and horror type things in general, also keeping up with some crunchyroll simulcasts that I'm not hugely into fandom for but would appreciate having people watching with me, and I'm in that Animorphs book club that was trying to get started on plurk and plan on reading the rest of them over this year whether the club actually happens or not
Interest| ...everything? Except sports. Unless it's sports anime, then maybe. For a recent example, let's go with archetypes as a self-reflection/career branding/character analysis tool. Also making floggers out of paracord.
Speed Bio| I am a humanoid of fluctuating gender who has a truly eclectic list of interests and a passion for trying to make the world we live in not suck.

YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| I haven't used a journaling site in ages, so I honestly don't have a clue, but it will probably be fandom and craft projects and babbling about sex ed type things (I have a podcast, on that note. Check it out here), possibly activism, and maybe some weird mystical type stuff like reiki and tarot.
Posting habits| I'm going to guess this will be something like equal parts long babbling philosophical posts, fandom silliness, and "Hey, guys, look, I did a thing!" but I honestly have no idea. Pace is really a mystery right now, too, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's twice in a day sometimes and once in a week other times.
Warnings| Sexuality discussion will happen. Maybe not in personal detail, but in general. Also general warning for depression and PTSD over a past abusive relationship.
Looking for| Anyone who thinks my randomness is interesting and wants to talk about things.
Deal breakers| People who never engage in conversation (which given the premise of this meme shouldn't really be an issue) or who want arguments all the time. I don't mind if people disagree with me, and actually like hearing from different viewpoints, but not so much antagonism.

Tell us any interesting thing about you! One of my old posts from when I used to LJ was about how money literally burned a hole in my pocket. I only remembered that because I went back and looked through my old journal recently, but it seemed like a good anecdote. Also, I own a lizard. (If I had infinite money and space I would probably own every animal ever.)
Anything else?

We seem to have a few things in common, and I'm really interested in learning more about tarot in particular! Mind if I add you?

[savethelilin]

Go right ahead!

[briteskies]

we have some fandoms in common and you just seem awesome in general. you wanna do this?!

[savethelilin]

Sure!

I was going to ask what fandoms, but I see at least one from the icon haha

[longmagpieroads]

Hysterically I think I remember that LJ post.

Also HI! Welcome. I am intrigued by the random and wondering what the paracord sounds like compared to other forms of floggers.

[savethelilin]

Do you?! That would be hilarious. Does that mean I know you from back when?

I'm not sure I've had enough experience with different types of floggers to be able to give a real answer on that. The ones I've made have sort of a nice light swish sound when I swing them in the air.

[longmagpieroads]

It's entirely possible.

Light swish sound is good though. Makes me think it'll do more of a sting than a thud, if that makes sense? Thank you for the answer though.

[savethelilin]

Definitely a bit on the stingy side from my brief testing whacking my own arm with the one I'm keeping for myself. Adding metal beads to them makes them a lot more thuddy, which I prefer, and I want to make some like that at some point, but I don't have the beads yet. The person who showed me how to make these things had one with beads on it that I was definitely admiring, so it's a plan.

[longmagpieroads]

Ooooh. Awesome.

[longmagpieroads]

That does sound lovely. Are you planning on selling any at some point?

[savethelilin]

I don't have any posted up on Etsy yet, but the top and bottom ones here are available. Someone else also asked about them on my journal so I'll give them first pick of which one if they decide to get one. $30 for right now, though that might go up a bit once I get them actually set up in my shop. If you're more interested in beaded ones, I can let you know when I have some.

[longmagpieroads]

I would definitely be interested in some of the beaded ones nodnod
