sound_of_silence | Here and Now

Pastel-coloured cloudy sky with, in the middle, the silhouette of a signpost with arrows pointing away in different directions. Text on either side of the signpost reads "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? Re-read of Wheel of Time at

tar_valon, and just got started on "Because Internet" by Gretchen McCulloch. Breezed through "Guardian of the Whills" last weekend, and oh no my Chirrut/Baze feels are back.
... Watching? Yellowjackets, Russian Doll s2, re-watch of Our Flag Means Death at

ourflagmeansgay.
... Listening to? Luke Howard, Jenny Hval, King Princess.
... Playing? Horizon Forbidden West. Civ6 on the iPad.
... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? Free from work atm. If the weather clears up again, I might do some painting. Been gazing wistfully at the fabric for Stede's pink banyan robe, and out of the blue my aunt gave me her old sewing machine... I may do something foolish now 😬
... Looking forward to? Dr Strange on Wednesday. Hot delicious soup tonight. Hopefully Deep Purple in October, and Mother Mother in December.
... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? Plague denial, war. On the way way smaller scale, worried the local cinema won't put up "Everything Everywhere All At Once".

What were your last three LJ entries about and when did you post them? A bit of a flail about Jane!Thor, tiny whinge about the HBO app and some reactions on OFMD, a post about

3weeks4dreamwidth and other community shenanigans. No personal journal posts the past week as I'm busy elsewhere.

Anything else? idk I like icons an absurd amount. Fannish gopher. Would love to have a physical hobby where I actually make something, but never actually get around to doing that. Love traveling to look at new places and visit all the museums; I miss it dearly.

I'll be seeing Deep Purple at Tons of Rock in June, and I'm based in Norway (but not Norwegian) and appreciative of anyone who can share the Nordic perspective. Friended you so you can take a look.
