Here and Now — A Friendzy

[sound_of_silence]

I don't know about you, but lately I've been bored by the redundancy of friending memes. It feels like I'm always being asked the same things — favourite books/movies/games/fandoms, things I post about, things I look for in friends... This is all well and good, I don't have anything against those questions — I've found so many good LJ-friends through them, why would I? — but I find myself hoping to be asked something new at every friendzy I participate in.
And then I thought, why not organize one myself?
So here I am, with an attempt at an original friending meme! Share, comment, find friends, you know the drill!

The Basics (Can't Really Change Them)
Name: Christina
Age: 47
Location: Sooke, BC Canada

Currently, what are you...
... Reading? "I Thought You Said This Would Work" by Ann Wertz Garvin
... Watching? Tropical Plant Party on YouTube, and also random Frasier, MASH, or the Monkees episodes. Last movie I watched was "Hot Millions" (1968) with Maggie Smith
... Listening to? The Q FM Radio 94.7FM (100.3FM) on in the background daily. Soundtrack to Harold & Maude, ABBA, or Jack Johnson lately otherwise. And audiobook called "A Year of Mr. Maybes" by Judy Leigh
... Playing? Nothing at the moment.
... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? Cleaning up the backyard, refreshing wall paint in the house (which is taking forever), getting a donation pile built up for when the weather gets nice, and keeping houseplants alive.
... Looking forward to? Actual Spring weather. Being able to plant peas and tomatoes outside (It's too cold here still). Warmer weather will be nice.
... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? We have our dentist check-ups this week. And, well, the world is still wonky so I'm not looking forward to that one bit. Also it's coming up to the anniversary ( mid May) of losing my best friend to cancer and my dad to kidney disease, so I am not liking that coming up.

What were your last three DW entries about and when did you post them?
April 11th Hail No - Photos of my kitty. Unexpected hail falling.
April 16th I foresee scarring in my future - An update on a cat scratch on my face.
April 23rd Relaxing days (for the cats) - Kitty photos, and plans for backyard improvements.
Anything else?I really like adding pictures to my posts. Like, a lot. Also, we have four cats, and so pictures of them are going to happen.

Oh no! So sorry about the cat scratch on your face. I'm still healing mine from this summer when we had to move by plane with a cat who would very much have preferred we not do that -- and made her displeasure KNOWN. I hope yours heals fast and clean!

(Wanna be friends?)

Thank you, and Oh man ouch! I'm sorry you got kitty scratched as well. For being so cute and cuddly sometimes they sure can be sharp little death machines to our poor bodies. I hope yours does the same and heals well.

Done! Added you. *grins*

I'm also in the Victoria area, and ugh, the weather. Please, actual spring weather, hurry up! I'm also building up a donation pile and spending my time keeping my houseplants alive, and living my life to a sountrack of the Q. Friends?

[xinas_island]

Sounds good!

Added you. 😁
