Hi! I saw this entry on the livejournal home page, explored your journal a little, and added you because I enjoyed reading what little of your writing I've read so far, and think you have a unique perspective.

I might come back and do this quiz to try and find some more friends, but I'm still thinking on the "self-labels" question. I present and mostly interact with the world as straight/cis-female, but hopefully I don't come off as too cis-centric (I'd love to know when/if I do), but wouldn't really label myself that way...

Anyway, I won't be hurt if you aren't interested in my journal, but just wanted to let you know that I'm reading yours!

oof, it is terrible that it would take a magic wish for you to get number 8, when it should be a given!

- Satire/snarky social commentary (usually social media, but not always).

- Deeper life musings.

- Writing and other artsy stuff.

- Real life, but... I'm not one to recall everything I did today. My RL entries are either things I need to vent about, things I need to squee about, or more anecdotal.

4) My favorite things to read on my friends list are: It honestly depends more on the person, I think. I will say I definitely like having friends who talk about the sort of things I mentioned above.

5) My friendship dealbreakers are: The usual suspects, really - racism, homophobia, etc. Additionally, I find it hard to connect with people who only post bullet points.


6) I post entries on average once every [day, 2 days, week, etc]: Once a day, sometimes once every two days.

7) I consider myself more knowledgeable than the average person (average from people I've known) on these topics: Meh. I don't know the answer to that.

5) My friendship dealbreakers are: Close-mindedness, racism, liars.
6) I post entries on average once every [day, 2 days, week, etc]: Week. When I'm busy, I post bi-weekly.
7) I consider myself more knowledgeable than the average person (average from people I've known) on these topics: Absolutely nothing! I'd be lying if I said I possessed a vast amount of knowledge on anything. People seem to think I know a lot about a lot of things though.
8) If everyone alive would agree to change their behavior in a single way regarding ONLY me, I would want it to be: I don't think there is anything I would change about how people behave towards me. Everyone has been pretty amazing. Plus, if everyone treated me the similarly, it would be quite dull for me!

I'm adding you if that's all right with you. I liked what you wrote here and we have a common friend, the lovely ragnarok_08 :).

I'll give this a try!

1) My age and location: 35 and based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
2) My self-labels: This isn't something I have a lot of practice at, but: Writer, poet, cis female, Feminist, sensitive, clear communicator, perceptive, neuroatypical in several ways. I Googled other words for 'explainer' and 'decoder' came up. I like that.
3) My posts usually fall into the following categories: I talk about my life which tends to fall into musings about mental health, long-distance relationships, whether to keep my current job or move, poetry readings I take part in, working through past memories.
4) My favorite things to read on my friends list are: The above! Um... Childhood memories, thought processes, mental health, friendship musings [with backstory, not just "Ugh, I hate Sam" with me not knowing who Sam is]. The story of how you got to where you are.
5) My friendship dealbreakers are: I suppose the usual isms. People who disrespect me personally. People who talk to me on my LJ in a way I have expressed that I am uncomfortable with. And people who never speak to me. Ever. Like, in over a year.
6) I post entries on average once every [day, 2 days, week, etc]: I aim for twice a week. Sometimes I only manage once.
7) I consider myself more knowledgeable than the average person (average from people I've known) on these topics: Communication, the workings of depression and recovery cycles, public speaking and audience response.
8) If everyone alive would agree to change their behavior in a single way regarding ONLY me, I would want it to be: I get caught up in miscommunication a lot because people don't listen/read the specifics of what I'm saying. So if people would respect me enough to listen and treat me the way I would like to be treated, that would be awesome. Repeatedly saying the same things gets to a person after a point.
