Here and Now — A Friendzy

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 more, the merrier:

Currently, what are you...
... Reading?100 Great Black Britons: A Celebration of the Extraordinary Contribution of Key Figures of African or Caribbean Descent to British Life
by Patrick Vernon
Fire in the Night: The Piper Alpha Disaster
by Stephen McGinty
... Watching? Just the Disney shows that come out. I'm behind on the Mandalorian, Boob of Bobba Fett and Moon Knight though. Loved Hawkeye, Loki, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision ect
... Listening to? wwe theme songs, bon jovi, assorted rock music, random pop songs and pretty much nothing that has been released in the past couple of years. I've officially become 'urgh what's that noise' old.
... Playing? pokemon go, and like 5 variations of that crime scene mystery game you get on your phone where you basically try find all the objects in a picture.
... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? I just left my job as a supervisor in retail after 4 years. It had become hell on earth and after having covid again I thought nah I'm done. So job searching at the moment. Probably stay in retail as I'm not great at sitting still so it works for me. I just adopted my cousin's ten year old cat though so working on settling him into our home with my and two other dogs! I'm glad I'm around to do that because before I was work sleep rinse repeat.
... Looking forward to? A new job and meeting new people wherever that may be. My social anxiety is getting nervous about it but I'm trying to think positive. My mum is standing in the local election next week so looking forward to see how that all plays out. Our whole homelife dynamic could change as I still 'live at home'
... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? Also if she wins the election! Just need to see. I am hugely worried about how far down the no rights/right wing rabbit hole the UK seems to be tumbling but that seems a bit deep for here. And not likely to come up on my page too much.
What were your last three LJ entries about and when did you post them?
April 22nd - wrap up of my last medical appointment, a whine about the diabetes community and my cat's progress.
April 20/21st a meme about my cat I made and me talking about his health after he ran away for a month.
April 19 sharing the news that we had found the cat and brought him home.
Anything else? I mean, I'm queer, pro Scottish indy, pro-choice, nonbinary. If any of that is an issue then...obviously don't circle.
Hello!
That sounds interesting. Got a favorite?
I had someone request a black, British, female, genderqueer, steampunk engineer and that turned into a series.
>> I've officially become 'urgh what's that noise' old.<<
LOL yes, I feel that way about most music from the last several hundred years. There are bits that I like, but most of my favorites are things like 400 year old Irish harp tunes.
>>pro Scottish indy,<<
I support the right of all peoples to rule themselves as they see fit. However, I note that this is a great deal harder than it looks, and long-held countries routinely fail at it.
Re: Hello!
Scotland is in a unique state as a union that was put together and therefore can be taken part

It seems like we have a bunch of things in common (cat owner, queer, nonbinary, pro-choice etc.) and I play Pokemon Go as well. I also love Scotland and would love to have more friends who live there :D
Want to give it a try?
