So. I can't find my debit card ._.

I know it's not lost-lost, because I have a distinct memory of taking it out of my pocket to do laundry. The thing is that I thought I put it back in my pocket later. And I thought that because it's not where I normally would've set it down. Which most likely means that I used it at some point before the hypothetical point when I would've put it in my pocket; I would've grabbed it to double-check some info since it was recently replaced. But if that's the case, it should be right on my bed or on my desk, since those are the places I use Chad. Aaand it's not there.

This is so frikkin annoying, lol. If I can't find it after another sweep of the area tomorrow, I might have to try and stop by the bank for a replacement before leaving. I want to be able to use cash at the con.

Name: You can call me whatever you want, as long as you call me 😎

Age: Old enough to know better. A former LiveJournal user from the 90s

I mostly post about: Life, random thoughts, work, observations, whatever comes to mind

My hobbies are: Reading, movies, sport (cricket, F1, hockey (real not ice), australian rules football, and a few others), science, psychology - I like a little bit of all things, realy - history to anthropology, I'm there

My fandoms are: Do dogs count?

I'm looking to meet people who: Kind people, open minded, those who enjoy learning, ahve passions in their lives

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: racists/sexists/fundamentalist religious nuts who believe their religion is better than others, genocide apologists, ignorant people, those who don't value science and intelligence

Before adding me, you should know: I have a pretty terrible sense of humour (by terrible I mean excellent) and I'm neurodiverse

addme

Name: Oneinist, or One (they/them)

Age: Middle aged

I mostly post about: So far I've posted general journals, a bit of poetry, and some prompts from the snowflake_challenge. I've posted in English and Japanese. I'm still figuring out what I want to post about. I have a Naruto/KKIR fandom Tumblr, but I haven't decided to what extent I'll be posting fannish content here yet. I feel like I might post thoughts on fandom? Or at least I would like to. I'll find an excuse to turn anything into a bingo board.

My hobbies are: I have too many hobbies, and I tend to cycle through them, but I also have some core ones like watching anime, reading Japanese BL manga and listening to BLCDs, cooking, baking, writing, journaling, drawing and crafting. My latest hyper-fixation is Obsidian (note organizing software), and along with it HTML and CSS. The intensity of it varies and sometimes I take breaks or have slumps from my main ones too.

My fandoms are: I'm only active in the Naruto/Boruto fandom, but I still enjoy a variety of fandoms/media. As an example, love Star Trek Voyager and Natsume Book of Friends too; I just haven't created anything for either. I grew up on 90s Sailor Moon anime, so that one holds a special place in my heart.

I'm looking to meet people who: Post about a mix of things that we both have in common and don't have in common, it doesn't have to be fandom related, and it's not a requirement to share fandoms. I enjoy reading about everyday life around the world, hobbies, thoughts and feelings. I'm hoping to build relationships slowly and steadily.

My posting schedule tends to be: I've sort of gotten into the habit of doing the justcreate check-in on Mondays, and at the same time I catch up on reading and commenting. I also post then if I'm feeling inspired. That being said, I don't want to stress myself out by trying to explicitly keep some sort of schedule.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: If you write mainly about Christianity from a practicing Christian perspective we are likely not a good match. I'm fine with more cultural or secularized aspects of Christianity like Christmas for example (I decorate extensively myself).

Before adding me, you should know: English is not my first language, and sometimes I misunderstand. I'm sure we can work it out though. I can also be a bit bad at asking questions (I process a lot through association, so my mind slips into "that reminds me of the time I..." as a way of connecting when I've read something). In all languages I write in, I struggle with missing letters and spelling. Because of that, I'm quite self-conscious about my writing, and I can only ask for a bit of patience and grace. My energy levels vary throughout the day as well as the year, and if I go from very chatty to not that chatty, it's me and not you.

Current Mood: nervous
Current Location: Home - Study Desk

Still not quite where I'd like to be with getting stuff done before I go but, hey, I've got tomorrow and about half of Wednesday.

I texted my oldest niece-- my brother's first kid-- to see if she'd be interested in any of the books I'm getting rid of. Haven't heard back yet. I may be going over there tomorrow to drop off the Christmas gifts that've been taking up my space, though. If I do, I'll probably just bag up what I have and cart them over. Whatever she doesn't want can go to the Free Little Library downtown. That's not far from the station where I'll be catching my bus and it's also near a playground besides, so I might ask my sister about taking the kids out on Wednesday before I go. She was probably gonna give me a ride to the station anyway and I know they don't have any particular plans.

In the meantime, I've made a rough schedule for what I want to accomplish tomorrow. Gonna try the fifteen minute method. Of course, I'll possibly need to account for going over to my brother's place but I wasn't intending to stay long anyway. And it could be nice to have a sort of natural break.

Packing... I just realized I've not done any packing, lol. I need to double-check the baggage restrictions on the bus website, actually. I usually only take a backpack and maybe a purse or shoulder bag when I go to LA but that's just because I don't want to check a bag. If my suitcase isn't too big for the bus, I might just go ahead and take that. Not that I'm planning to buy much, come to think of it, but it'd sure be easier to keep any posters I get safe.

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: Daily life - my thoughts, things I'm up to, things I've created (I'm an artist), my travels, movies I've watched, photos I've taken. The mundane and anything that grabs my interest. I try to find whimsy in everyday life, and I probably think too deeply about a lot of stuff.

My hobbies / interests are: Drawing, journaling on paper and stationery in general, reading fiction, watching movies, musical theatre, EGL fashion, playing The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, Lego, learning languages, traveling whenever I can (usually on my own), and whatever actor I might be obsessed with at the moment.

I'm looking to meet people who: Thoughtful people who have similar interests and values. I'm looking for community and people I can connect with. I'm feeling very burnt out from social media and how loud and demanding it is with people just observing each other and nothing ever going any deeper than that. I miss feeling like I had actual friends on the internet, and learning about people's lives from all over.

My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I feel like. Sometimes that might be daily, sometimes weekly. I try not to post any less than that.

When I add people, my deal breakers are: Bigots. People who exclusively post about fandom, fanfic, or book reviews and little else. As an artist, I'm anti-AI. And just mean, judgemental types, I don't have space for that kind of attitude in my life. Be kind or get out.

Before adding me, you should know: I have C-PTSD, hEDS, and I'm neurodivergent. I don't talk about these things much, but they exist in the background and shape much of my world.

Man, Idk what was wrong with me this weekend. I almost said "today" right there because at least I went to the farmer's market yesterday but I really have been almost useless for most of the weekend. Just wasting hour after hour telling myself that I'm going to Do Things any moment now.

Vacation time~

I don't have any particular plans before I leave for the con but I do have things I'm hoping to get done before I go. I'll have roughly four and half days, since I'll be leaving Wednesday evening. Then I'll be getting back the following Wednesday night, so that's another four days to spend at my leisure before going back to work. Yay!

Can't say I'm especially looking forward to the bus trip but I'm trying to not dread it either. Might be bad, might be good. Might be neither! Whatever else it is, it's a new experience.

Tell you what's really annoying me, though, is that I forgot my book at work. I was not especially enjoying the book, tbh, but I was still intending to finish it this weekend. I'll probably see if my sister is willing to take me by to grab it on Monday, as I'd rather not wait the full two weeks' worth of my PTO.

i used to be super active on livejournal, mainly in the icon community. i made a dreamwidth account as livejournal was fading, but i didn't really connect to the site and with irl changes i ended up leaving this part of the internet altogether. i've been reminiscing and have wanted to get back into "journaling", so i'm giving dreamwidth a proper go this time around.

name: laura

age: 30

i mostly post about: life updates and the occasional book review. i dealt with a lot of changes last year and a major loss at the end of january, so i'm navigating this new chapter (that sounds so corny) and just want to document the ups & downs as i experience them.

my posting schedule tends to be: for now, i'd say sporadic, maybe a few times a week.

my interests: reading, bookish content (new/upcoming releases, challenges, etc), horror, thanatology (see: Caitlin Doughty), arts/crafts, trying new recipes/cooking, hockey (nhl & pwhl), the sims 4, historical facts, theatre, concerts, cleaning/weekend reset videos (specific fandoms) lord of the rings, the boys, sailor moon, three days grace, prison break, jujutsu kaisen, tokyo revengers, schitts creek, supernatural, gundam seed, mcu

my dealbreakers are: aggressive or continuous political content; i'm well aware of what's happening in the world and i have no problem with people who want to discuss or vent, but i have no desire in befriending anyone who is consumed by politics (especially whatever trump is up to). anti-lgbt, conservatives/traditionalists, ableists.

before adding me, you should know: i have social anxiety; i have good days and bad days. i might come off as standoffish, but i promise i'm not. i love reading/hearing about other people's experiences and getting a glimpse into their lives. i'm just too nervous to approach them lol

We eat rice almost every night, so I buy it in 20-pound bags--Goya medium-grain rice. For us, it's pretty much as good as Japanese short-grain rice and less expensive. (Sometimes we have different rice--basmati or jasmine or wild rice, or any style of brown rice, but generally it's white Goya medium-grain rice.)

I like the look of the bags, and I thought it would be fun to use an empty bag as a bag ... and finally I got round to making one:

Here's the front, with a fold-over flap

And here's the back

Might take it grocery shopping with me next time I go!

I have like three things to do because I procrastinated, shouldn't take more than about thirty minutes total. Then? I'm going to bed!! I killed my "slowly getting sleep schedule in order" streak but I'm getting back on track tonight, babies B)

Wip Wednesday! Probably because I was so late last week, I didn't get any prompts. So, I figured I'd just toss up something I'm working on, to keep things rolling. I flipped through a few options and decided on the escape-fic, which I'm again posting all I've written of so far. I'm close to an ending, I can feel it...

The protocol for entering the palace changes from time to time, so I can only offer a general outline. If your business is with the court or council, you should present yourself and your credentials to the guards at the southern gate of the outer wall of the palace. It is best to arrange beforehand for your visit. If this not possible, or if you cannot provide an exact time for your arrival, expect to wait as your credentials are sent into the palace to be checked.

Normally, you will be provided with an escort into the palace. If you arrive at a time before the palace begins its day, you will be expected to make your own way to the eastern gate of the inner wall. There your credentials will be inspected again, along with any document that the palace has sent out, permitting your entrance. You will then be allowed to enter the inner wall and make your approach to the palace itself.

The palace being located atop a high hill, you will find yourself faced with the steepest and longest set of stairs in the world. Pace yourself. You may wish to bring refreshments to partake of at the halfway mark.

At the top of the stairs, once you have recovered your breath, you should show your credentials and palace document to the guards at the gate, holding them up for inspection. The guards may not appear to look at you or even notice you. Do not be deceived. Those are real spears they are holding across the doorway.

If the guards grant you entrance, they will lift the spears. If they do not, you must retreat to the palace's inner wall and determine there what the problem is.

Assuming you manage to pass all these barriers, you will find yourself in the entryway to the palace. You will be guided at this point through the remaining stages of reception, which vary according to your rank and status. At some point, however, you will be let loose from Emor's protocol and permitted to take your own path. Let us start with a general introduction to the Chara's palace.

[Translator's note: This breathtakingly long procedure can be cut short if you possess the right credentials, as can be seen in Breached Boundaries.]

Today was such a frikkin drag. I very, very rarely get motion sick but I nauseated myself trying to read on the ride to work this morning-- which I cannot stress enough is something I do almost every morning without incident-- and it didn't really start going away until it was almost time to go home. I had a headache most of the day, too, and so of course those two things just kept feeding each other.

Besides that, we got our usual notice of last months corrections and I made more errors than I have in actual years. Didn't feel good, lemme tell ya. At least all but one was the same type of error, so I at least know where I need to pay more attention. It was actually something I've felt like I've not been paying enough attention to lately-- double-checking name spellings-- so goes to show me, I guess. Funniest thing is that I remembered one of the names because it was a minor spelling variation I'd never seen before of a common name. As I was looking over the scans, I even thought to myself, "How did I mess that one up?" because it stood out to me so much at the time. Aaand it turns out I got it wrong by instinctively spelling the name "correctly" and not noticing when I looked back over it, lol.

It was also just plain slow, which is usually annoying enough on its own. And it looks like tomorrow is gonna be the same way...

On the other hand! One step closer to vacation time :D

I was so shocked to hear you have left us,

minoanmiss. You are a fountain of art and fic and joy at making babies smile. You've sent me poems, you've sent me stickers that have decorated letters I've sent people. When the pandemic hit and I posted about the Japanese amabie, you made a fridge magnet of one. She's on my fridge above your Minoan dancers.

Do you remember when you sent me a postcard for a pine tree, and I took it there?

You made magic happen.

I will think of you every time I see someone making a baby smile. I will talk to that pine tree about you. Maybe it has your forwarding address, and I can send you a postcard.

These past couple of days, I've been getting closer and closer to being in bed and ready to sleep at the time I'd like to (I say as the clock ticks ever closer to midnight). At this rate, I should have my sleep schedule nailed down just in time for my vacation to ruin it, lol.

In 2018, Wakanomori and I went for the first time to Colombia. We went just as an election was happening. We were in Bogotá, and we ended up walking through rallies for both candidates--the progressive ex-guerrilla and the conservative son of privilege. We ended up with some of the flyers for the progressive guy--they were bright and optimistic, and I made them into postcards:

We didn't know much about Colombian politics at the time, but we hoped he'd win:

But he lost. The conservative candidate, Iván Duque, won.

But then in 2022, the progressive ex-guerrilla won. And that's Gustavo Petro, who's in office now. So you know ... change does happen.

( My microfiction for today was partially inspired by the memory of picking up those flyers. )

I've been trying to think of something to say about what's happening in the Middle East right now but everything is happening so much and it's so exhausting just trying to keep up. Still, I've been saying nothing and it's felt Bad, so I want to at least ramble a bit. Not really trying to say anything of substance, just get some thoughts down. Idk how much sense any of this will make but how much sense does anything make anymore anyway.
