Because I want to pack up my computer because we are leaving tomorrow.

So I got up this morning at 9:00, Theo came and joined me in my room, and we sat a bit before I went down and had breakfast and coffee.

Then I didn't do much of anything except hang and talk to Dani, until Dani and John took Theo's camp trunk to UPS to send.

I got my book and read, and socialized with Theo.

They got back, and at some point I drifted off to sleep for a nap. Then they went out to do some shopping, and I stayed with Theo.

Then Dani's aunt, who is going to house sit while they are gone, arrived, with her dog Zoe. Shawna (if I spelled that right) is a very nice person, and we visited while we were waiting for John and Dani to return.

They got back, and again we hung out for awhile, and then at 6:15 I got on the computer, and at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB.

Moose got into the kitchen and ate the cats' food, and I had to pull him out.

Now Dani and John are getting fried chicken for donner, so that will be nice.

Tomorrow is the start of our Road Trip!

However, sad family news. Cousin Virginia, who had been in hospice for several months, died this morning. She was 91 or 2, my mother's first cousin, and a very sweet person, that I didn't get to see an awful lot, but was very nice whenever I did.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Good books.

3. The life of Virginia.

4. Naps.

5. Fudgesicles.

6. Heading home tomorrow.

Name: Holly

Age: Mid-30s

I mostly post about: Shower-thought essays and musings, fandom, fan theories, world-building, drabble snippets, OC and character development, creative process, occasional IRL that's in a digestible form for the internet.

My hobbies are: Writing, art, paragraph roleplay, video games, reading, book annotation, note-taking theory, journaling, hand-sewing, crochet, knitting, playlist-building, theory-crafting, wiki-building and information management.

My fandoms are: Anything cat-related, The Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age: Origins, The Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time → Twilight Princess), Silent Hill (1-4), The Evil Within/サイコブレイク, The Apothecary Diaries, Higurashi When They Cry, Hayao Miyazaki, anything horror by Mike Flanagan, anything by Guillermo del Toro, Asian horror, found-footage films, high-end animation.

I'm looking to meet people who: are preferrably 25+ in age, neurodivergent, share my fandoms, are open-minded and fun to talk with.

My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic, due to fluctuating spoons and hyperfocus binges.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Anyone under 18, anyone supportive of America's current administration/MAGA/right-wing idealists, excessive political posts, crypto/AI/Tesla/entrepeneurial bros, religious evangelism or witnessing, animal cruelty, bigotry, racism, homophobes, transphobes, lore-policing, drama-llamas, unsolicited mental-health bombs (I'm your friend, not your therapist), overt neediness/attention-seeking, inebriated/intoxicated messaging, atrocious grammar and spelling (my native language is English), toxic behaviors in general.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm west-coast American (and yes, I would rather be anywhere else right now, but can't be), I'm AuDHD (progressively demasking after years of working corporate and burning out) and queer (AFAB genderfluid, pansexual; she/they pronouns). I'm 15-years-happily-married and monogamous. I'm very direct, because I would rather be honest than polite. I grew up in a household where expletives were every other word, so I hope you don't mind if I curse at times. My creative works are intended for mature audiences and are not intended for people who are easily triggered (I do try to tag accordingly, though, I'm not a monster 😅).

Got up at 10:00 this morning, had breakfast and coffee, and settled in to read.

Dani, John and the kids left around 12:00 to see Dani's father for his birthday.

I stayed with Moose, who was very well behaved. I read, and napped, and he mostly slept.

They came back around 4:00, and there was just general hanging out for the rest of the day.

At 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB, and at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. All is good, Middle Brother is looking forward to his Spring Fling on the 18th.

After that I had dinner, and read and played on my phone til I started here.

And that was the whole day.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Middle Brother is doing well.

3. Moose was well behaved.

4. Texted the Kid last night after I wrote here, she is fine.

5. Relaxing day.

6. RK sent pictures of Oreo.

Current Mood: calm

I got up at 9:00, breakfasted and coffeed, showered, washed my hair and used the curl product the Dani showed me, and then was ready by 10:00.

Dani drove me and Winnie to Wadsworth to pick up the FWiB! He was waiting outside the condo, and looked good.

Dani drove us to Barnes and Noble and dropped us off and it was wonderful. We went to the cafe and had drinks, then went to the science fiction and fantasy section. I found the book that I thought I had bought at the Barnes and Noble with Winnie, the third in the Godkiller trilogy.

After that we went around the store, the magazine rack, children's section, and the YA section. Then we got food in the cafe again.

By that time Dani and Winnie came back. They sat with us for awhile, and went to the children's section for while.

Finally it was time to go, the FWiB had to get back and Winnie was getting tired. So we took him back home and then came back here.

It was wonderful actually being with him after the years since the last time I was able to see him. Which was I think 2019. Or 2018. I would have to go check my journal to be sure.

Anyway, I ate when I got back, and then we Teamed even though we had seen each other.

Now Dani and John are watching Ghosts UK.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Actually getting to see him, hug him, and kiss.

3. Got that book.

4. Dani being willing to drive me.

5. Dani liked him.

6. Barnes and Noble.

addme

Name:Rafi. If you come across this post or my profile and you think "hmm, looks familiar," that's possibly because I changed my DW name several months ago. It used to be "Emerald Em."

Age:58

I mostly post about:My daily life, my writing, my disabilities, autism, mental illness, being queer, my wife, fanfic, my gender journey, chronic illness (feh!), the political reality I and my people live in

My hobbies are:writing, crocheting, studying Wicca

My fandoms are:The West Wing, Man from UNCLE, Criminal Minds, some others

I'm looking to meet people who:share similar interests,

My posting schedule tends to be:three or four times a week, sometimes more often

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: TL;DR = don't be a bigoted jackass. Longer version: no queerphobia of any kind, no Trumpers. Be open-minded. Accept my lived experience in my queer self and my disabled body and mind. I welcome respectful questions if you have them, though.

Before adding me, you should know:I don't always have the spoons* to comment on all the new posts that pop up on my reading page when I log in. But I do do my earnest best to read the posts. So I generally know what's going on with my DW friends. Also, the mini-bio in my profile is currently (as of June 14 2025) pretty short--I'm working on updating and lengthening it--so it might not tell you much. If you have questions, please ask!

I am AFAB nonbinary, and again, happy to answer respectful/curious questions. But no phobias. If you don't like it, lump it and move along.

Got up at 10 with Theo knocking on my door. Came downstairs and had breakfast and coffee.

Eventually everyone was upstairs except me so I took the opportunity to shower and dress.

Hung out in the living room after that. Dani sent Theo over to the library, and eventually he came back with his friend Uriah, who stayed the rest of the day.

After awhile Dani, Winnie, and Uriah went out and walked to a small store and got ice cream. Came back, and continued just hanging out.

Around 6:30 Dani and I went to Walmart and got some stuff, mainly a dog house for Moose. We also got some food, including a pizza for Dani and I for dinner.

Came back and Dani and John put the dog house together while I Teamed the FWiB. Then Dani put the pizza on and when it was done I got off, and ate.

Tomorrow Dani is going to take me to see the FWiB!!!

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Ice cream.

3. Quiet day.

4. Seeing the FWiB.

5. Got my prescription refill approved and

mashfanficchick is going to pick it up for me.

6. Friends.

Got up and had breakfast and coffee, then hung out for awhile until Dani suggested going to the Japanese market for awhile with Winnie.

So I got dressed and that's what we did. The ramen place was closed until 4:00, but the sushi place was open, so we had sushi for lunch. We went to the Japanese grocery first to get drinks. It was very tasty.

After that we went to the gift type shop. I looked around for something I could get as a souvenir for the Kid, but didn't see anything.

Then we went to the Japanese bakery and I got a mocha mousse. Delicious.

Then we came back to the house and more or less just hung out for the rest of the day. Dani did a craft with the kids while I Teamed the FWiB. Then at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He's fine, had a music thing yesterday, and looking forward to McDonald's tomorrow.

Dani was supposed to take me to see the FWiB tomorrow but he had to cancel, and hopefully reschedule for Saturday (the day after tomorrow).

The Kid texted me about the NYC Mayoral debate which was tonight. My union is backing Mamdami.

I sat for an hour with Theo, watching him use the computer.

RK facebook messaged Dani with pictures of Oreo cause he fed him tonight.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. My friends here.

3. Sushi.

4. The Kid.

5. Lovely summer weather.

6. Middle Brother is well.

addme

Name: Simone

Age: Late 30s

I mostly post about: What I'm reading (probably some kind of cosmic or folk horror, or something adjacent to that), what video games I've played lately (mostly indie/puzzle/adventure/detective), bits and pieces about my life. Occasionally more personal things if I feel they might be interesting or useful in some way, otherwise I keep it private.

My hobbies are: Drawing, watercolour painting, reading, playing video games, vintage fashion, listening to music (classical, opera, symphonic metal, soundtracks, dark cabaret, electroswing, old jazz, some more modern stuff...), singing and playing the autoharp (I also used to play piano but kinda stopped...still have a keyboard but haven't dug it out in months...), occasionally cross-stitch and embroidery, puzzles, going for walks, learning about pretty much anything but especially animals, mythology, history, and science. When I was a kid, my special interests were Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, butterflies, cloud formations, the planet Jupiter, and English folk superstitions, and I feel like I've just carried on from there. During the pandemic I got fixated on learning how to identify birds by their songs. You probably get the idea by now.

My fandoms are: I don't tend to write about fandom stuff but the only fandom I've ever been active in is Pokemon. I still write fanfiction occasionally but it's not something I write about in my journal. Other games I love include Portal and the Rusty Lake games but there's lots. In terms of watching things, I enjoy the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon, Black Mirror and Stranger Things. I'm getting back into Welcome to Night Vale (podcast) but I'm like 5 years behind...

I'm looking to meet people who: Share some of my interests? Similar age preferred but not essential. If you read and/or play similar stuff to me I would love to trade recommendations.

My posting schedule tends to be: Once or twice a week right now but during busy times I might drop off for a bit.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: If your journal is very fandom-focused, I probably won't have much to say in comments. I'd also prefer to avoid lots of posts about religion and/or politics, regardless of "flavour". I don't really care what your political views are (I mean, unless you're a white supremacist or a neo-Nazi...I'm a mixed race Jewish woman so that could be awkward...) but I'd rather not be reading racist, antisemitic, misogynistic, homophobic, etc. content. Or anything that's overly mean-spirited about anyone.

Before adding me, you should know: I live in the UK, in case you wanted to know that. And I'm autistic, not that it comes up very often in my journal posts. Also, as a sort of "reverse" to the above question - I also don't post about my political views (or anything controversial, really) in my journal.

I've wondered a lot recently: how can these evil, hateful people who literally want "others" dead call themselves Christians. How do they not see their hypocrisy?

I found this video to be informative and explained a lot.
