2020 LJ Friending Frenzy

[lavenderfieldss]

I did this a couple years ago and was super suprised when I got almost 3 THOUSAND replies. @_@. I have some friends who want to come back to LJ but need more friends, so I figured i'd do it again and see if we can at least get them some more LJ friends, if not others, too!

I also love emo bands of the 2000s! Friends?

[belleweather]

I'd love to! Friending you now. :)

[keypike]

I think we use LJ the same way, and I'd love to get to know you. Mind if I add?

[belleweather]

That would be lovely! I'll add you right now. :)

[suzanna_o]

I've been on LJ since 2004! Just added you. :)

[belleweather]

Added you back! :)

[eclips1st]

I use LJ in the same way. :)
It's become quite useful to track when things happened later (once for legal reasons!!)

Most important question though: Jimmy Eat World - yay or nay?

[belleweather]

I only know their singles, but I like what I've heard? They're on my list of "people to listen to more" on Spotify.

Wanna be friends?

[eclips1st]

Sure! :)

[morning_stand]

Added! I, too, am passionate about emo bands of the 2000's :) I just saw the Juliana Theory recently!

[belleweather]

Added back! And I haven't thought about The Juliana Theory in forever!

[ellinou]

I need to know more about that game...

[belleweather]

Heaven's Vault? I highly, highly recommend it -- It's basically my catnip in the premise, but the more I play it the more I enjoy it. The translation mechanic is really interesting and fun and the story is engaging. Plus, it's got a sort of laid-back exploratory vibe... a little bit like Myst without the frustration? It doesn't like, require a lot of precise jumping and accidental climbing up walls and whatever, it's more of an interactive puzzle/story, which I think is my jam.

I love photography! I've been into film photography for the past few years. I also love romance novels, but I go back and forth if I want to write them.

Mind if I friend you?

[belleweather]

Please, feel free! I'll happily friend you back. :)
