Friending Meme!
Hello all!

As the majority of us online journaling veterans are still around and newbies who are still migrating from Livejournal, I figured a Friending Meme is in order! Let's make some new friends to help rekindle activity in this asylum and help new and old users unite!

Just copy and paste this code below in a comment and let the friendships begin!
Feel free to reference this Friending Meme to others too!
(You can take out some of the questions to your liking as well.)

Name: Capy (like capybara)
Age Early 30s
Location: USA
Occupation: Currently unemployed, but I worked in retail for 3 years before early January (I quit).

How long have you been online journaling?: I lurked Livejournal and had whiny teenager accounts with no one added throughout the 2000s but was only active in 2010-2011 before everyone migrated to Facebook and Tumblr. I started again last fall and dusted off my Dreamwidth earlier this year since being unemployed is giving me 5x more free time.

What are some of your hobbies?: Drawing, HTML/CSS (my website is here - other "indie web" people welcome!), reading (99% non-fiction), etc. Need to get back on the saddle of working on original character content.

Other fandoms: I'm not really into "fandom" or things like fanfic/roleplay/shipping etc. anymore (although I do like reading reviews or other people's opinions/interpretations of things) but My Little Pony, Neopets, and Fire Emblem come up often. (My IJ username is Pokemon-related but I don't play or watch the anime anymore, but I'm capable of holding a conversation about it.)

Is your journal friends only, partial or public?: Public
How often do you update?: I mostly blog on my own website because it's more comfortable, but I try to update journal websites at least once a month and use my accounts for reading other journals and communities. I prioritize Dreamwidth and I'm more likely to subscribe to someone there because it's more active, but I automatically cross-post and am interested to see who is active here in general.

Any closing words/quotes/pictures/gifs/anything else you'd like to add: 18+ followers only and I tend to be close friends with people 20+ (25-30s preferable, open to 40+ too), sorry! I don't post NSFW thing a lot but I prefer to have an adult audience/space anyway.

	Good to see another IJ'er! I too crosspost a bit to DW due to activity. However, recently three people (two came back) added me! I'd love to see IJ active again too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly, I'm sad that I never saw IJ when it was active! I'd love a revival in general for these LJ-forks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was here back in the day; it was very active! Now mostly RP'ers, but some of us stragglers are here or those who just journal without friends. Hard to find now! (Reply to this) (Parent)
