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: Tracey

Age: 33

Location: Colorado, USA


Currently, what are you...

... Reading? The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab, and The Mandarins by Simone de Beauvoir

... Watching? Selling Sunset and The Ultimatum. I love trashy shows, haha.

... Listening to? A lot of old pop punk and current indie rock

... Playing? Video games are not a hobby I'm drawn to

... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? For work, I am a marketing content writer, so I am usually working on a variety of somewhat technical projects for clients. In my leisure time, I'm almost always working on a cross-stitch project. Also working on training for some mountain climbing this summer.

... Looking forward to? My brother's wedding next weekend

... Worried/concerned/annoyed about?
I recently totaled my car and we're still dealing with insurance and procuring a new vehicle.

What were your last three LJ entries about and when did you post them? I've been a little lapsed in my posting lately, but these three have been posted in the past three weeks:
1) My anniversary with my husband and some quickfire bullets
2) My stupid car situation
3) Also car and a trip to visit family


Anything else? I'm trying to be more active on DW, as a recent refugee from LJ.

I'm trying to be more active on DW too! I'm a fellow cross-stitcher. We also have a few friends in common. Can I friend you?

[spaceagecrystals]

Sure, let's be friends :)

Thanks for the add! Added you back! :)

Hello there :)
I am also a recent LJ refugee who likes pop punk and indie rock (among other stuff). "The Mandarins" was a book I really enjoyed a couple years ago, and "Addie LaRue" is on my to read list. So it seems like we might be into similar things. Want to give this friends thing a try? :)

[spaceagecrystals]

Yes, let's be friends :)
