I'm Tom. You can call me Tom or Tommx. Don't ever spell my name Thom.
Most of my posts are friends only, but I'm also pretty easy going about whom I will add as a friend. Here are a couple of things you should be aware of:
- If you're adding me as a friend, it would be nice if you'd let me know a little something about yourself, or at least have a journal that has some meat to it. If you're adding me, and I look at your journal and find practically nothing there, I'll likely not add you.
- Be respectful of me, and others who comment on my journal. Some may express opinions you disagree with. That's fine. This is a free country. I merely ask that everyone be respectful of one another. Cardinal rule: Don't be a dick. I don't have time for it.
- I don't talk that much about politics these days, and dislike labeling myself, but it's worth noting that I lean pretty far left on the political spectrum. I believe that vaccines work, I'm pro choice, I strongly support LGBTQ+ rights, and I strongly support gun control. (As in I wish the fucking lot of them could be melted down and used for something worthwhile, but that's not the world we live in.) Point is, if you have a problem with any of that, you may not want to have me as a friend.
- I'm a cancer survivor who has been in remission since 2022. I'll never be "cured" but if I stay in remission long enough, I won't need to be.
- I have a pretty colorful vocabulary. In other words, I've been known to say "Fuck" a lot.
- I don't guarantee that all of what you read here will be interesting. Sometimes I can be pretty damn boring.
- I don't post much publicly. I've done some public posts here and there, but anything personal (which is most of this journal) is access locked. I'm pretty open to adding new folks, so if you want to be on the list, just ask and you're in like a future dad on prom night.
