OMGosh journals are love 😻 I am addicted to them 😹 my room is full of them 😸 I used to write in them and fill them up but now I don’t want to ruin them so they stay unwritten 🐾
I used to make cards but just before Xmas mum started to teach me cross stitch and I love it (but not the endless unpicking 🤦♀️)
I don’t have a fandom love right now either, but I wonder, is The Boys any good? I watched the trailer and I wasn’t sure how violent it was (it looked pretty bloody) but if you’re recommending it, I might give it a go?
Journals are love!! I remember how much you love them. You used to collect them when we first met. I'd love to see your collection one day.
OHHHHH I cross stitch too!! I have so many unused and partly started projects. I will have to go through mine and send you one if you enjoy it. I started in my 20s and love it. My eyes are not the best anymore but I still try.
OMG The Boys are AMAZING!! Karl is fabulous and the baddies are so BAD.. and Jensen will be joining S3. I would totally give it a whirl if I were you. Actually it's pretty violent but not all the time, if that makes sense. There are a lot of ewwww moments and exploding head moments, but it happens so fast that the minute you see it, they are on to something else. If blood and gore bother you even if it's fast, then maybe you might not like it. I don't like bloody violent things either. I had to stop watching The Walking Dead, but for some reason The Boys doesn't bother me like the Walking Dead did.
*LOL* my room is about half full now, just pretty journals 😹 If anyone is ever stuck for a gift idea, they just need to buy me a pretty journal and I’m super happy 😺 The last one I got was before Xmas, it was a really lovely Harry Potter diary for this year 💙😺
Next time the litter box is being cleaned, I’ll pull the whole collection out of the cupboard behind it and take a picture for you 👍😸
I am LOVING cross stitch 😻😻😻 but omg it’s so teeny 😹🤦♀️ I have to wear my really close up glasses and even then I still need the magnifier 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I just couldn’t watch The Walking Dead any more, but if you think the violent bits are few and far between, then perhaps I might have a go at it (I do love a beardy Karl 😸🐾)
Oh I definitely want to see pics of all your journals!! I remember how you would always get them for presents.
hahaha yes I have to wear my cheater glasses too! Share some of your projects! You are making me want to get mine out. I'll have to find an easy one to start out with. I am bad at starting and not finishing.
Walking Dead was bad. The Boys isn't at bad because they mix humor in which it. I am not going to lie... there are exploding heads but it's quick and like a balloon and then they are on to the next and the jokes are crazy. I would definitely give it a try and see how you feel. They always lighten the mood somehow so it makes it not so bad... The Walking Dead was just so damn depressing.
If you're not too bothered by the trailer then you won't be bothered by the show. It's all in the trailer. :D
Karl Urban is sooooo hot and so is the guy who plays Frenchie. If the trailer is too much for you though, then I wouldn't watch. *hugs*
HI! I just thought this was a good post to pop in because I got to learn so much about you already. I have to admit, I love that there's this sorta older contingent that's hanging on to LJ and making it our own. I always say that you get from a place what you put into it. :)
I just finished watching The Boys and I adored it. So weird and full of dark humour. I love The Deep because he's so... not. (Deeper: A Memoir. Aaaahahahahaha!) It also was one of the few shows that made me gasp out loud (and not during any of the gross bits.)
I also love Bath & Body Works soap (Twisted Peppermint? So good.), cats, and journal/journaling. My not-really-a-bullet-journals have been much fun for me this past year or so. I used to craft, but not much anymore. I love all animals, really, but I hate bees.
Thanks for jumping in here! I love that the older generation stayed here during the LJ mass exoduses that happen every so often. I couldn't leave it behind when the new social media platforms came out. I just found them so impersonal. You play to an audience at twitter, tumblr, instagram, etc., where here there is so much more interaction. I love getting to know people and them getting to know me. *g*
The Boys is soooo darkly funny! I love all the marvel movies and shows but for a bit there, it was becoming a oversaturated with all the superhero stuff, so to have a show that is anti-superhero was exactly what I needed. Plus Karl Urban?! You can't go wrong. lol
Ohhh I love twisted peppermint too!! I know if I started a bullet point journal, it would definitely morph into a not really bullet point journal too, but that's the fun of it... making something your own! I only love bees when they are plump and cartoony and not real if that makes sense. hahahaha
Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I have a tumblr and participated there for awhile, but there's simply no way to have a thread like this where actual *conversations* can happen. I don't think there's really anything out there that operates the way LJ does.
Karl Urban is absolutely delicious. So with you there. Some men can just pull off a beard. He's so good in Chronicles of Riddick, too.
There really isn't! There used to be a site called Booklikes that was set up like LJ but all about books and that site was really cool but the owners let it go and now you can barely log in and it's been a mess. It was really sad.
I loved him in that movie! Lord of the Rings was my favorite though. He was such a good Eomer!

I see this in my journal every year, too. I'll try it out one year.

That would be fun if you did. I'm trying to get here more, I really am! lol
