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 more, the merrier:

The Basics (Can't Really Change Them)
Name: Tash
Age: Late 30s
Location: NZ

Currently, what are you...
... Reading? I just finished Book Lovers by Emily Henry, super cute and lighthearted!
... Watching? Star Treks - Picard, Strange new Worlds, 911 & 911 Lone Star, Stargate sg-1 rewatch, Top Chef, Great British Sewing Bee, The Staircase, Law and Order, the Rookie, and lots of british crime shows
... Listening to? I just listened to some of the new florence and the machine album today, otherwise general radio.
... Playing? Animal Crossing & Stardew Valley - I restarted my ACNH island about a month ago so i'm playing that more than i have been.
... Working on (job-wise and/or leisure-wise)? I started a new job recently
... Looking forward to? Long weekends in June, Thor: Love and Thunder, Pilates class & usually my next meal
... Worried/concerned/annoyed about? The world is always a stressor these days

What were your last three LJ entries about and when did you post them? I usually post a wee update with TV, Books and life events which was 2 of my last entries, the other one was saying how everyone should watch Gunpowder Milkshake. I would like to post more, but it seems a bit dead in my flist other than a few regulars, so i'm here.

Anything else? Hoping to post some more positivity and reflection on my flist!

Yeah, that's one of the reasons my posts are so sparse these days. When I do post, I get 0-2 responses. Kind of a vicious cycle, unfortunately. But I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

Yeah it's hard when you post and nothing much happens, and some of it is posting for prosperity, but i like the feedback loops too :)
