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| Ember
Age| 24
Other platforms| colorilluminates
Fandoms| Mainly Percy Jackson these days! I have a wide range of things I'm interested in, but Rick Riordan is pretty much the only thing I write for with any regularity. I tend to like big bombastic emotional powerhouses; I love NBC's Hannibal, ALW's The Phantom of the Opera, Earl Cain/Godchild, Naruto up to 699, The Hunger Games, The Mighty Boosh, Teen Wolf, MCU, Newsies, Zootopia...
Interest| Gothy stuff, witchy stuff (I'm a practicing Hellenist!), music, alternative fashion, queer stuff, politics, abandoned buildings, the intersection of feminism and disability, MBTI and psychoanalysis of characters, cannabis, the resistance.
Speed Bio| INFJ/Gryffindor/Melancholic temperament/Chaotic Good/Honorary Scorpio/Daughter of Apollo/ask me for other personality trivia/metrics, I've probably given it consideration.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| I have no idea! I used to keep an LJ religiously, but it's been a long-ass time and I was an idiot teenager who mostly had feelings explosions. There has been a lot of pain in my life, and while I tend to figure it out by writing it out, I sort the hell out of everything and use custom friends groups a lot.
Posting habits| Back then, I did a lot of diary stuff, and tended to comment less often, but again. Self-absorbed teenage idiot.
Warnings| I have a Serious Business Complex Trauma History involving childhood sexual assault and intimate partner abuse, and so I have pretty significant PTSD. I also have a stubborn form of depression, OCD, am in recovery for anorexia nervosa but still have some food-related difficulty, and disabling chronic pain and fatigue. The physical conditions are newly discovered since I was last keeping a journal, and have gotten dramatically worse in the past four years. I'm diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but still pursuing a couple of other issues.
Looking for| I'm kinda quiet, but I can honestly get along with almost everyone...
Deal breakers|...except neonazis and bullies disguised as social justice activists. Life is too short for cruelty.

Tell us any interesting thing about you! Absolute pitch is correlated with music-color synesthesia, which I know because I have both. If you need to know what note on the western scale a toilet flushes in or what color acoustic guitars sound like, I'm your gal. :D
Anything else?
Me. Aren't I cute? :3

PJO, hellenism, fellow gryff, and honorary Apollo fam (shhhhhhh, shhhhhh I count, I very...want to count >_>). I'm hella down with this.

U GOT IT SIB

[rootsofthestories]

*makes grabbyhands* You seem great! I'd love to add you, if that's okay.

[desmodontinae]

Definitely! Happy to have you. :D

[longmagpieroads]

What color do door chimes sound like? And what notes does a toilet flush in? Is there variety there?

(also hi, fellow fibro person!)

[desmodontinae]

This is going to sound like a cop-out but I swear it's true--it depends on the toilet and door chime! Door chimes are basically bells or tones, so it's a little easier to identify, which also makes the color clearer. Usually for me, higher notes are lighter colors, and door chimes are usually higher notes. Bells in general are blueish (ymmv though, different people see different colors). Toilets are affected by the shape of the bowl, although most I've heard are somewhere between E flat and F.

Also dude very gentle hi 5, fibro is the pits. :(

[longmagpieroads]

Fibro is totally the pits.

Haha, I don't think it's a cop out at all. It makes perfect sense to me that it's totally dependent on the variables of the chimes and toilet. What's a red noise if you don't mind me asking?

[desmodontinae]

I don't mind at all! For me, strings are varying shades of red--violins and cellos and such. again depending on the tone, it can be brownish red to burgundy to orangey.

And when I am stoned, sounds take on texture as well as color. Plush or glassy, for example. :3

[longmagpieroads]

Oh that's even more fascinating actually. chinhands I could sit here and ask questions all night LOL

[desmodontinae]

FEEL FREE TO! It's all pretty subjective, but I'm always willing to chat about my experience. :D
