1) Age and location: 33, ATL, Georgia, U.S.
2) Self-labels / identity: queer, genderfree, trans, intersectional feminist, fat-&-proud, polyamorous (relationship anarchist), demisexual, poor, Southern, nudist, tree-hugger (literally & figuratively), vegetarian, non-neurotypical ADD-PI thinker, eclectic pagan Quaker, and artist.
3) I live with: an amazing human housemate with their sweetheart service dog and my anxious cranky cat.
4) My posts usually fall into the following categories:
--introspective self-examination
--my methods and 'hacks' for intimacy and self-awareness
--society; my ideas on why it is the way it is and how it could change
--meaningful experiences in my everyday life, especially emotionally intense ones
--analyzing relationships in my life
--goals and progress in self-growth
--personal feelings/thoughts about broad topics that have a script most people go by -- like when someone talks about an aspect of parenting which is common which they disagree with
5) My favorite things to read on my friends list are:
all of the above categories^ plus
--stories of personal history -- like "this one time when I was 12..."
6) In the past few years the biggest issues for me with friendship have been: an incompatibility of either communication style or core values. I don't do phone calls or real-time messaging, most of the time, and I don't live near enough to have in-person be my primary way of communicating. I also can't deal with lying or putting expectations on me that I have not agreed to.
7) I post entries on average once every (day, 2 days, week, etc): I aim for once a day and usually miss one or two days a week.
8) If someone made a deluxe action figure based on me, it would have these 3 props and 3 outfits: A laptop, a craft table (I know that is a little cheating but I like mixed media the best!), and a bookshelf (with social justice books and sci-fi/fantasy). One outfit would be a floor-length rainbow tiedye skirt with a sleeveless colorful shirt, one would be a short multicolor skirt and bra, and one would be a kneelength full-circle bright colored skirt with a deep-v top in a different color, a sheer patterned colorful overshirt with long sleeves and a collar, and knee-high socks that don't match. There would be one pair of black tennis shoes to be worn with every outfit.

You had me at "eclectic pagan Quaker." And again, I fail at order of operations, but I've taken the liberty of adding you to my f'list; let me know if this is problematic or you have any queries.

[belenen]

Oh, I don't mind *smiles* I added you back!

[mousme]

Oh, hello! A fellow Quaker! *waves*

I am trying to get back into posting, and I feel like we might be like-minded in interesting ways, and not-like minded in other, even more interesting ways! Let me know if you'd be comfortable with my adding you as an LJ friend. :)

[belenen]

omg yay! I have no Quaker friends yet so I'm extra excited about the possibility of friendship. Let's add and see how we get on!

[mousme]

Sounds good! I am still learning the ropes of being a Friend, in the Quaker sense, for what it's worth. :)

[brujah]

I found my way here via slipjig. You sound like someone I'd very much enjoy reading and I'd like to add you.

[belenen]

added back! *grins*

[panda]

I would love to add you, if that's alright?

[belenen]

Sure! I'll add you :)

Thank you for this friending meme, would also love to be friends if you're keen. I am super interested with your hacks for intimacy and self awareness ;) Also that you post about self growth progresses, I do such as well. <3

Hi there! If you don't mind that we're multiple (more than one mind in a body), may we add you? We're collectively genderqueer, fat and proud, have Pagan leanings but have just started attending Quaker meetings for worship, so it seems like we have a few things in common.
