I have not had a real home with a permanent address since...2023
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
glowingfishThis is more backstory! And it might sound worse than it is.
When I left my apartment in Corvallis, Oregon in September 2023, that was the last time I lived in a place where I had my name on a rental contract. I then lived in an AirBnB in Costa Rica for six months, with my mother in Montana for six months, back in the same AirBnB in Costa Rica for six months, and then I ended up in Spokane for six months. So that is two years of moving between places, and at no point was this a legal, guaranteed, signature on a contract living situation.
There are obviously a lot of people who are homeless and living a struggle day by day. I am not that. But I also don't have the comfort of having a guaranteed living situation. Right now I am renting from someone I know, but that could change any day. It makes things a little bit harder to arrange. Like, you know, I haven't changed my credit card billing to this address. And thus, some things on Amazon can't be delivered here. I haven't tried. And I don't know how long I can/will continue living here. Sometimes I get tired of it. But also, I don't know if I have another option.
Anyway. There is more back story.

tipping my phrygian cap toward you in a cheerful greeting
tombstuck posting in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
addmeBefore adding me, you should know: that i am open to making friends with people who are very different from me! i think it's wonderful and healthy to be friends with people who have a different worldview from me, and i always try to be nice and respectful, even when i don't agree with someone.
basic info: tombstuck, mid 20s, missouri usa
basic info: tombstuck, mid 20s, missouri usa
gender and sexuality: bisexual, poly (not currently open to new partners), trans, enby, femboy, they/them
other identifiers: alterhuman, gnome/elf otherhearted
my vibes: silly, horny, friendly, excitable, odd and unusualI mostly post about: daily life, my current exciting interests, music, and fandom
My fandoms are: I read widely in any fandom if the summary and tags catch my eye, and if the author is a friend! my fandoms in particular are supernatural, homestuck, and marvel stuff (specifically spider-man right now). But I have a lot of other fandoms I'm less active in too.
I'm looking to meet people who: are interested in my writing and will listen to me yapping about it (i will do the same for others!), people who will interact with my journal entries... um, not a dealbreaker by any means but it would be nice to know some other alterhumans, therians, otherkin and things like that, because my brother is a therian, i'm otherhearted, and i don't know any other alterhumans at all.
My posting schedule tends to be: very sporadic! i just created my account recently so it's up in the air, but i plan on being here every day for the foreseeable future.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: i'll add anyone who adds me, but i will probably remove them if i have personal issues with them after that.
i hope to hear from some of you soon!~

toothpastepancake posting in addmeName: Agnes
Age: mid 20s
I mostly post about: personal stuff and fandom equally, also my creative projects (I'm a huge writer and artist!) I also talk about my tech projects and such. Health struggles & disability/mental health activism and destigmatization. Cooking. Life goings-on. My OCs. I'm trying to get back into using dreamwidth more, so I'd love to make some new friends!
My hobbies are: writing, digital art, watching tv, making video games, playing video games, crafting, thrifting, technology (mostly self-hosting and personal websites right now), cooking...
My fandoms are: I'm a huge science fiction fan, so right now it's Babylon 5, The Orville, Star Trek (mostly lower decks and star trek online), etc. Also super into Yellowjackets and Psych at the moment.
I'm looking to meet people who: don't mind my journal being a little all over the place, are kind and accepting, love science fiction, art, writing, tech, or making OCs, or creativity in general. People who are spiritual but queer-affirming, pro-choice and open-minded. People who like to talk and don't mind if I'm awkward. People who share my fandoms, especially my special interest which is currently The Orville. Other neurodiverse folks. Or anyone who is cool with the things I mention here!
My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia. Please don't be a bigot. Also, I don't wish to add anyone who identifies as an "anti" or believes certain types of fiction should inherently be censored, and will unadd for this kind of behavior.
Before adding me, you should know: I have autism and dissociative identity disorder. These things make it a little hard for me to communicate, but I promise I always mean well. I also have memory issues.

My first real winter since 2022.
glowingfishA bit of relevant backstory:
From October of 2023 to March of 2024, I was in Costa Rica.
From October of 2024 to April of 2025, I was in Costa Rica again.
In between, I did experience a few places with cold. But not the middle of winter, and not long, long dark hours.
So right now, I am preparing myself for both. I am in Spokane, and we had our first frost, and daytime temperatures are hovering around 10C/50F. And it is getting dark earlier and earlier. Before long, we will be in the middle of winter...and all I will want to do is sleep and eat.
Lets see how I adjust to that...

Education and planning on hold for a bit
a_natural_beautyTalk of death, green burial, cremation and donating bodies are going to be talked in this post - so be aware.
I'm not sure if I posted about this before - but close to a month ago Mike and I went to view our first green burial center. It's called Foxfield and is a lovely place. It's two hours away and is the closet one. There was another one I was in contact with that is a part of a college - it was a bit more expensive and a bit further west for us. While there I felt hopeful this is what I could do when I pass away - just be a part of nature and give my body back to the earth. I think others in our tour group felt the same way, too. I liked the parrie option more than the forest one.
Soon I was in contact with other funeral homes in the area to compare prices and see how much general services would cost to have my body cleaned up and then shipped down to Foxfield and the prices were terribly high. That's on top of the price of buying the plot and services that would be at Foxfield and I was looking at a scary amount. Places offered payment plans but even so I was looking at a-lot more money than I thought I would spend. I think it was foolish on my part. Right now I am in a place where I can't be careless with money because I still have some repairs on my house that need done. And some expenses in the near future - like dental work that my insurance isn't completely covering.
So these plans for now are on hold. I did look into one option that I'm leaning towards more and more which is donating my body to a medical school. Ohio State University has that as an option and I looked over the site a bit. It would be a much cheaper way to do things and I would be giving my body back to a cause - helping medical students how ever they may need to do it. My main requests are that I don't want to be pumped full of chemicals and viewed by my loved ones. Nothing against those who have that be their final wishes but I just would rather have those who knew me remember me for when I was living and not like that. I don't even wear makeup so the idea of being kept preserved to be viewed and touched and cried over by those in my life seems weird. Un-natural comes to mind. There is also the choice of being cremated which is the most popular choice currently. I could do that but also the idea of being all burnt up like that just makes me sad. I have a fear of fire and feel like that wouldn't be a good way for me to go. But again - all the more power to those who want that!
Currently I am working on my will at least. I actually am meeting with two different attorneys nearby and today is a phone meeting and the other on the 23rd I'll be meeting with in person. And I have read the papers for my living will - I just need to fill it out. So things are going a different course. I have talked to Mike and I have a plan for what I would like done when I am gone to an extent. But talking to these professionals will help with what I need to do going forward.

I'm still here ~
a_natural_beautyGosh, it's getting close to I think a month since I was last on here... sorry guys... I hope all of you have been doing well. I'll be writing some updates on different subjects as things have been going on in my life. Nothing horrible but I've just had the typical case of 'I don't feel like turning on my laptop'. I'll check out the reading page and see what you all have been up to.

Finch
serafaeryThings my Finch app has helped me with:
* getting out of my youtube addiction
* taking supplements daily
* physical therapy daily
* teeth brushing daily (this used to upset me so much, missing this basic task so often)
* reaching out to friends more often
* appreciating the beauty around me in small quiet moments
* reading
* getting 10 min of natural light in the mornings outside
* taking permission for rest breaks
* accepting myself where I am at in the moment
* regularly revisiting favorite memories
* breaking through blockages to do hard things like fill out closing document forms and other hard things
* staying consistent with hormones
* red light therapy, skin care and such
Things the app has yet to impact much:
* work procrastination/avoidance
* housework (it helps a tiiiiiny bit, I need some heavy lifting, here)
* snacking (seemed like it helped for a moment but now not so much)
* evening walks (again, it seemed like it helped the first week and now not so much, maybe I need a different schedule or phrasing on the goal to try to trigger this to happen)
* bank runs
* overall mood (remains unchanged)
* grief (no help at all whatsoever as far as I can tell)
* guilt and discomfort over family dynamics with my brother and step-fam
* exercise
* showering more frequently (maybe once or twice has it helped with this)
* staying on top of car maintenance
* creativity or art, writing or decorating, very little of this is happening, still
Just reflecting. I'm grateful for everything it is helping with!

ghost season
serafaeryI hit a wall on my list of things to do today while driving around like a madwoman trying to get it all done and realizing I was dangerously overdue for an oil change. I got that done but it was SLOW and I was just done after that.
Lots of documents to go through for the house but we're chipping away at it, look at us, being adults together.
I think because of the house buying process, because of my mammogram tomorrow and my friend's breast cancer not responding to chemo, remembering my mom's house getting foreclosed on, watching her lose everything and become a ward of the state with alcohol-induced dementia, and then having to escort her through endometrial cancer radiation and surgeries, the childlike nostalgia I have over the changing weather and Halloween, I just hit a tsunami of unbearable grief, in the midst of all the errands, today.
( dreams )
...
Missing my mom suddenly and devastatingly, today.
I miss my dad, too. He died 25 years ago.
I miss what it felt like to have grandparents, as a small child (my dad's parents were no longer living when I was born, but my mom's were around when I was little.)
Wishing for a relative to laugh/cry over the osteo-arthritis in my hands commonly termed "Mommy Thumbs," while never having had the chance to be a mommy.
There are many blessings in my life. But also many gaping black holes of loss that I sometimes stumble into, unaware, unexpectedly, and then I'm lost in the dark for a few moments/hours/days.
I think I have a ghost child who has unintentionally injured my hands with her invisible yet chronic neediness. Maybe she made friends with Lunar, who has haunted our apartment since his death. I don't believe in ghosts, not even cat ghosts, but that doesn't change the fact that Lunar is haunting this apartment.

sweater weather
serafaeryChaos in my mind, swimming swimming spiraling thoughts, need to make a list!
( list for moi )
I feel really good after getting up at 6am today, still in the darkness, to fill water jugs and the tea kettle and get henna in my hair and do all the dishes and shower and such before the water got shut off at 8am this morning. It will be off until 2pm. I am not sad to be leaving this problematic apartment complex. All apartments have their issues, but I have literally lost count of how many days we have had to go without water this year. It's at least 2x per month on average, for a while there it was every week. Power often gets shut off as well. I hope such things are more consistent where we are going. The house we will have more control over, but public utilities are another matter. Hopefully it will be okay.
I am *so nervous* about every aspect of home ownership. I could not sleep at all last night, so worried about the loan and mortgage and how to keep the house in tact and clean and in working order and comfortable and everything. It's daunting, to say the least. Nothing like say, parenting, but still.
Going to run off to silks soon, but I also wanted to journal about yesterday.
Had a ton of work to get done in the morning so I spent my day until about 1pm boxing up orders and cooking meals for Josh and such.
Finally got out the door and grabbed a latte, shipped my orders, and drove out to Saddle Mountain.
It was warm and sunny and I didn't get on the trail until 3:40pm, so I motored up as fast as I could within reason. Enjoyed the birds and chipmunks and squirrels, ravens and swallows and the autumn dryness and late flowers, most stuff has gone to seed at this point. Lots of mushrooms but I wasn't looking for them - the shaggy chanterelle were especially cute.
Reached the summit at 4:51, had it to myself, took ten minutes to hydrate and snack and gaze at the ocean and surrounding hills.
I'm really grateful to my body for being able to do this. My hands and hip and feet hurt a bit when I was done, but not too bad. I feel like I'm re-building my fitness after a really sad spring and summer. I feel hopeful this can continue. I just sort of had to re-set how hard I can actually push myself, and adjust my activity levels, but I'm slowly filling back in some of the activities I lost, and feel able to do them at a slightly softer pace. This is appropriate for my age and where I am in life, it's okay. It was really difficult to be forced to slow down, but I'm okay.
Looking forward to more time for art and wings and letter writing/snail mail and reading and today the weather is shifting, high of 62 and mostly overcast, and tomorrow the rain begins again. I'm actually excited for sweater weather and snuggly evenings on the couch with Josh watching spooky movies.
I'm tiiirrreeeed - got up too early lol. But need to grab some snacks and run off to silks!
I have my first mammogram tomorrow and I am DREADING it, I have to work all day tomorrow and Friday, but I have the weekend to myself, yay! Hopefully Saturday will be visiting a donkey sanctuary and carving pumpkins with Steph, that would be so nice.

Posting again.
midnight_heavenly_bodies posting in addmeName: C.K. or Chester, if you like.
Age: 36.
I mostly post about: Linkin Park (specifically the 2000-2017 era, before the band became a cult puppet show), wrestling (classic SMW, WWF, the always sexy Jim Cornette, and my own very cursed WWE 2K25 Universe where I resurrect promotions and pair people based on vibes and trauma), Culture Club/Boy George fic, chaos, conspiracies, and timelines that make Doctor Who look basic, my OCs, who are so deeply real to me I've fought people in my head about them, Witchcraft, spirit work, folk healing, moon rituals, grief magic, retro gaming, random emotional overshares that sound like a journal entry from a possessed poet with too many piercings
My hobbies are: Writing fic that's 70% emotional breakdown, 20% worldbuilding, and 10% people getting railed in a meaningful way, hexing cults with sigils and sass, collecting music like it's my religion, drawing OCs, editing cursed screenshots and organizing old files like I'm preserving the Library of Alexandria, going to work like a normal person, coming home, and spiritually becoming a haunted glitter goblin with eyeliner and vengeance
My fandoms are: Linkin Park, wrestling (SMW, WWF, WCW -- but mainly the universes in my head), Culture Club (I write a huge fanfic AU for them), t.A.T.u., Verka Serduchka, obscure Eastern European pop acts with synths and trauma, Star Trek AOS (specifically Into Darkness)
I'm looking to meet people who: are too weird for Reddit, too raw for Instagram, and too smart for Twitter/X, overshare about their OCs like it's their religion, are into long-ass posts, rambling, and crying over character development
My posting schedule tends to be: Erratic. Sometimes I post a lot, sometimes I disappear for three weeks and come back with stuff.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, or being a dick in general, "Hamasniks", Scientology apologists or people who think Mike Shinoda is evil because they saw an Instagram reel with eerie music behind it (or buy into a certain someone's heavily cherry-picked posts), anyone who says "you still like Linkin Park?" or "isn't wrestling fake?"
Before adding me, you should know: I'm trans. My pronouns are he/him and they/them. I am autistic and ADHD. I write the "controversial" fanfic trope of mpreg a lot. I am very defensive of my faves. I am a Zionist, and hate how the term has been turned into something it's not. I am pro-AI, and use it a lot to make AI song covers. I find it fun. Also, I smoke weed, lol.

wantedonvoyage posting in addmeI'm trying to be on here more than LJ because I'm paying for a lot of userpics, so I figured I would try again.
Name: Chris
Age: old
I mostly post about: My life and interactions.
My hobbies are: going to rock concerts, camping, kayaking, stand-up paddle-boarding, drawing badly, reading and writing fiction.
My fandoms are: I don't really know that I'm into any specific franchise enough to count other than bands. I don't watch TV or see many movies. Some peculiar nerddoms: I have long been interested in the history of passenger aviation and shipping although I do very little about it these days.
Who I want to connect with: I am curious about people's lives which are different than mine and I am glad DW gives me a chance to experience them. Thus if our interests don't seem to align don't let that be a show stopper.
When I add people, my show-stoppers are: No drumpfreich apologists. I am also not particularly interested in following "celebrity" bloggers who are only on here looking for an audience. I like for my connections on here to be a two-way street.
Before adding me, you should know:

Before adding me, you should know:
- Currently I have two things consuming a lot of my non-work time, which has meant less time to read and write. I'm doing my best to keep up and do not want to fall out of the habit. Accordingly...
- When I am pressed for time, I may make more of an effort to read/comment the people who also more frequently engage with my posts. This doesn't mean we shouldn't be connected if you can't be constantly be lavishing me with attention.
- One of the two distractions mentioned above is I am currently in a leadership position in my small, progressive/inclusive mainline protestant church. Although i do post about it, it's more in the vein that people post about their work life. I do not use my blog to proselytize. Also, I am not in the least bit uptight or prudish, or here to judge your life choices, and--as you would learn--I would be on thin ice if I did. It's just another thing that i do.
