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: ship
Age: over 40
Location: Finland

Currently, what are you...
... Reading? working through my book bingo books, namely Lang Ya Bang (aka the NiF novel) and Aubrey Gordon's What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat.
... Watching? Mostly C-drama and K-drama, but I have Archive 81 on my Netflix queue...
... Listening to? Right at this moment Faun's new album Pagan.
... Playing? Does Duolingo count?
... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? I should be working on my longfic but as my brain's fighting me, I'm not.
... Looking forward to? My tattoo appointment next Friday. I hope we'll manage to finish my back piece but if not, I'll just have to make another appointment. What a shame if that happened.
... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? Many things, but the most pressing issue has to do with how TPTB are dealing with the massive shortage of nurses. Or, more correctly, how they're NOT dealing with it. *growls*

What were your last three LJ DW entries about and when did you post them? I try to post several times a week but it really depends on my shifts. The last three entries were posted in Apr 23rd (a Bulgasal episode 8 reaction post), Apr 20th (an Army of Lovers music video), and Apr 19th (Gods & Lies audiodrama review).
Anything else?I think my intro post is a pretty accurate summary of my journal, so check that. Follow or unfollow at will, there's no need to ask me if it's okay.

C-Drama, K-Drama, Faun AND in my very expansive geographical neighborhood. Can we be friends?

[shipperslist]

Sure. I mean, as a Finn, I’m antisocial but, otherwise, yeah. 😁

[belleweather]

You'll fit right in. :)

How are you liking the Aubrey Gordon book so far? I have been meaning to read that one for a while.

[shipperslist]

I'm liking it a LOT which isn't really a surprise, considering I've been following her on insta for ages and am a fan of her and Michael Hobbs' Maintenance Phase podcast (which I highly recommend to everyone).

Then I need to read it very soon. I love her blog too.
