Name: Indigo
Age: 27
Birthday: February 28
Location: Lancashire, England
Job: Enforcement Case Administrator with the HMPS. I make sure case files on offenders and victims is accurate and up to date, and arrange referrals for offenders and victims relating to inventions, service providers and external agencies and partnerships. My favourite part of the job is that it can help enhance positive outcomes and reduce re offending. I also do a shit ton of boring admin work which is a lot less interesting!
TV shows/movies/books/games:
Cookery and home & garden shows are my go-to happy place, especially Location Location Location, DIY SOS, Grand Designs, The Great British Bake Off and anything with Gordon Ramsey.
I'm currently a little obsessed with all things Good Omens, Seven Worlds One Planet, His Dark Materials, War Of The Worlds and the MCU.
Music: I like happy pop music. Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Ollie Murs are the first few names that jump to mind
Hobbies: match 3/home games on my phone, getting too emotionally invested in tv shows and films, tattoos, reading, movies, music etc. I'm very much a goes through phases person which makes me flit from one thing to another for a few months.
Things I like to talk about: random stuff I find on the internet, tv shows, books, music and movies that are ridiculously good, my cat, tattoos, the meaning of life and death, the relationship between the study of religions and the theologies of various faiths, the unsolved mysteries of the universe, Chris Evans' ass, Hayley Atwell's boobs and ass.
25 Random Facts About Me
Nov. 28th, 2019 10:32 pmI've seen a couple of people posting these lately so I'm going to give it a go and reveal my own random facts about me. I know what you're thinking - how exciting
My middle name is Kelley
My favourite subject in school was Religious Studies
My favourite drink is either coffee or raspberry vodka. And now I'm wondering what they would taste like together
My favourite song at the moment is Jonas Brothers - Only Human.
My favourite foods are actually fruits - apples, pears, peaches and plums. I also really like cod, with brown rice and steamed broccoli. I am aware that I'm weird. Do I redeem myself if I say my mum's roast chicken dinner?
The last thing I bought was a new backpack, my old one from uni that I use for commuting to work broke :(
My all-time favourite book is probably The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by CS Lewis
My favourite colour - unsurprisngly- is purple
I've never had a pet
My favourite perfume is Jo Malone, Wood Sage & Sea Salt
I love finding hidden beaches, lakes, or streams, and will happily hike miles if it means it's only me enjoying the water. Water is kind of my happy place - the ocean, the river, or even sitting somewhere I can hear the sound of water trickling down a fountain
I lived with my boyfriend in university but we broke up when I moved away from London for my job. I miss him and it still hurts.
I truly believe we are all connected, and I want inspire people to understand the rhythm of the seasons
I keep trying to learn Latin but it doesn't stick
I have two brothers - one older (Jay) and one younger (Dell)
My favourite shops are New Look, Hobby Craft and Wilkos
I don't care if people think I'm cool. I march to the beat of my own drum - and I think that makes me cool
I cried watching Escape To The Country this evening
I want to try Aqua Zumba. Seriously, how amazing does that sound?
My favourite movie is Captain America: The Winter Soldier
My favourite TV show is Location, Location, Location
I love digging my toes into the sand
Wandering around a museum is one of my favourite things to do, although I'm one of those annoying people who don't read the signs
I am 5'7
I make fantastic spaghetti bolognese and carbonara

Behind The Name
Nov. 26th, 2019 12:16 pmI don't know if this is stating the obvious or not but Indigo is not my actual name. It's in the same family as my given name and I've been using it as a nickname for about 10 years at this point. When I went to university and no-one knew me and you could be all 'call me Indigo' and no-one questioned it. I really like it and I've even thought about changing it legally but it seems like an awful lot of work!
practicalvisionary came out of the fact I couldn't find a username that hadn't already been taken and I didn't want to just use my name because that would have been boring. Plus I'm not sure I want my surname online, don't know that I want people who know me in RL to find my journal.
I was playing around with the symbology behind Indigo because I find that incredibly interesting. It's scary how well it describes me actually. One of the terms used to describe the personality of people who's favourite colour is 'practical visionary' and I thought that sounded pretty freaking awesome and, most importantly, wasn't taken!
nothing is permanent is pretty much my motto in life. I think it was Charlie Chaplin who said Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles. and that's something that's helping me with my battle against depression. Because this too shall pass.
Now if only I could find usernames on other social media sites that weren't taken... #firstworldproblems

Sunday night TV
Nov. 24th, 2019 09:06 pmI never thought Sunday would become my favourite evening. After all, it signifys the end of the weekend and the return to the M-F 9-5 doldrums. But BBC1 are KILLING it with their line up this winter.
First, we get Seven Worlds One Planet. And who doesn't like a David Attenborough documentary, am I right? This one is all about each distinct continent has shaped the unique animal life found there.1
Then, we get a 45 minute break to have a hot shower, wash my hair, put clean pyjamas on, make a mug of hot chocolate and grab a packet of biscuits2
After that, there's His Dark Materials, an adaptation of the Philip Pullman series of books. Starring James McAvoy and Ruth Wilson, so even if it had sucked, it would have been worth watching. It does NOT suck. 3
As if that wasn't enough, we've now also got a new adaptation of War Of The Worlds. I never get bored of retelling of this story, they've kept it in the time period and god knows the Beeb excels at period dramas. Also bonus added Robert Carlyle and I recognise Eleanor Tomlinson from somewhere but I can't place her
I see one of the US tv networks is doing a modern version... anyone know if it's any good?
Now if only any of the people I worked with had decent taste in TV. All they'll be talking about is Strictly Come Dancing and I'm a Celeb... hence why I've come online to find people to talk to these things about!
1 note to self - Add 'David Attenborough' in your interests
2 or, if you were so inclined, the Strictly Come Dancing results show. Yawn.
3 note to self - do you still have the books? If not, can you get them cheaply?
