I mostly post about: So I'm 2 years into my transition as a female, I'm pretty much woman except I can't land a job so have no friends, dates, nothing. I'm EXTREMELY stressed. I try to game to escape, but my mom purposely stresses me out while I do that, I'm in hell. I go outside only when I have to now, 'cause people treat me like shit. So my posts are mostly musings and psychological bs. You can see the shit I put up with on the first on my first page.
My hobbies are: Listening to y2k music, sometimes 90s music, playing video games, indie/y2k/multiplayer/remakes&sequals, and working out.
My fandoms are: Final Fantasy. I've played them all, though I haven't beaten every one. Will be getting more into Zelda when I get a Switch 2. The Last of Us (TV) and I've played the games. Gay shit in general.
I'm looking to meet people who: Nerds who don't get butthurt or threatened about me.
My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever the mood strikes.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Well, the exclusionary workaholic tools already aren't adding me, so I don't have to worry about anyone!
Before adding me, you should know: If you stop commenting after 2 weeks, as most journalers do, I will remove you so let's skip the unnecessary steps and just not add me if you're gonna do that, okay?

Now I am imagining Austen's books illustrated by John Leech instead of Hugh Thomson
The bathroom is finished. The shower was fixed without demur or difficulty. The electrician came back and now we have a heated towel rail (height of luxury) and it's all very pristine & cool green tiles. My mother has given me some mr.muscle spray for cleaning tiles & I may even use it.
My newsletter got done. Or doneish enough that I could send it out to other people for review. I went out for cafe brunch to celebrate the doneness and had eggs & 2 large coffees & amazing brownie which I ate very very slowly. And then I came home and, emboldened by brownie, emailed peeps to say 'guys, running out of energy & enthusiasm here can someone else takeover this the newsletter thing'.
Himself has been away for the weekend and is now back. I had a sibling zoom and it was good. I will sleep well tonight.
hunningham) wrote2025-05-31 05:54 pmToday has turned into another day spent wrestling with servers, and security reviews, and pushing code live and installing patches. Among other things, I am trying to work out what 'TCP/IP Predictable ISN (Initial Sequence Number) Generation Weakness' means and how I can fix it. And why are all the most recent bot attacks originating from Brazil?
I am being very flaky and procrastinating about a lot of things. Mostly Green Party responsibilities. I am meant to be writing a Green party email newsletter and I really do not want to do this for reasons I cannot fathom. I have been procrastinating about this all day (all week) and I am not sure why so very much reluctant. TCP/IP Predictable ISN vulnerability? I need to put this job down and see if someone else can pick it up. I also have about 8 hours of newsletter deliveries to do next week and am very meh about that. So much cannot do, and I am being flattened by whatsapp messages.
Good things have happened, are happening. Himself is away, so I am cooking. Lentil & sweet potato soup and I am roasting vegetables for tonight and also for lunches later in the week. There's asparagus with tomatoes, and broad bean pods ('tis the season), and some young beetroot with lashings of balsamic vinegar. There's some rhubarb (probably the last I'll see this year) which I have stewed with ginger and will eat with greek yoghurt. And a glass or two of some very nice wine.

fkficfest '25 is releasing!hunningham) wrote2025-05-28 06:18 pmRomantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld. What it says on the tin. I am deeply interested in the woman's job as a comedy writer for a late-night show, and I do not give 2 hoots about lack-lustre romance with some guy. Back to the library it goes, and next time I will borrow that book about giant spiders.
Jane Austen's Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector's Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend by Rebecca Romney. I appreciate her journey, but really, do we have to do this again for every generation? Sigh. Yes, I know we do. See How to Suppress Women's Writing by Joanna Russ, which (sadly) hasn't dated at all. Romney does impress me by reading AND ENJOYING The Mysteries of Udolpho. Myself, I gave it two solid goes and just couldn't. The sublime poetry, the sublime landscape, the sublime feelings - just no. I couldn't.
But I do still have some paperbacks from the Pandora Press series 'Mothers of the Novel', and I'm feeling like a reread.

Age Group: N/A
Country: Ukraine
Subscription/Access Policy:
Feel free to read, comment, and share your thoughts. I'm always open to dialogue.
Before adding me:
I’m an open person without any specific agenda. I’m Ukrainian — and perhaps it’s worth mentioning these days, just to avoid misunderstandings.
Welcome aboard. Think of this journal as a collection of messages in a bottle.
I mostly post about:
Stories from my life — thoughts, feelings, and moments during this time of war in Ukraine. I try to write honestly, capturing emotions: memories of peace, reflections on the present, and fragments from my life as a mariner and traveler.
This journal is still young — I’ve recently returned to writing after a long break. Most entries are bilingual (English and my native language), and I often include my own photographs — chosen to match my thoughts or mood.
Main Fandoms:
I’m not active in any specific fandom, but I enjoy stories that resonate. Some shows I like include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and others.
Fannish Interests:
Photography (almost professionally), lomography (capturing daily glimpses), music (especially acoustic, alternative, and instrumental covers), psychology, and classical literature.
I love discovering new things — ideas, places, stories, and people.
I'm looking to meet people who:
…feel connected to what I write — kindred spirits or simply those who find meaning in my words. I’m open to everyone (with one exception: I don’t welcome those who support or excuse the war). My posts are open and honest. I’d love to find new interesting people to read and connect with.
Favourite Movies:
Disney classics, Pearl Harbor, Greyhound, Loneliness on the Net, Sweet November, and others that reflect emotion and transformation.
Favourite Books:
Loneliness on the Net, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Art of Loving, To Have or to Be?, and other books about meaning and depth.
Music:
Acoustic and instrumental covers, alternative and classic rock, hip-hop, and popular tracks — I don’t limit myself to a single genre
hunningham) wrote2025-05-28 10:46 amSlept badly (awake since 3am) but I have been to the 7:30am crossfit class. The spur to getting myself up & dressed & out was that was a alert that my bicycle was booked in for a service. (And can we all applaud my past self who set the default calendar alerts to day before, 2 hours before, 1 hour before, & 30 mins before event.) I had said I would leave bike at shop between 8:30 & 9am So I got out, got exercised & deposited bicycle and now feel very virtuous and impressed with myself.
I have recently discovered (via Anna Jones) that (i) broad bean pods are edible and (ii) that I really like them. This morning I tossed some broad-beans (in the pod) in olive oil and roasted them in a hot oven for 15 mins, until they were just starting to char. Then I tossed them in a dressing - olive oil, lots of chopped dill and just a taste of vinegar. Delicious. I have already eaten them all. The beans themselves can be eaten with the pods (which I do) or removed and cooked separately.
I have also started a new batch of yoghurt. The last batch didn't work - I had set it up to strain and then forgot about it until the next day. It was solid - not like cheese, but much more rubbery like that. It was like edible window putty.
