General Name/Nickname: Kalloway Age or Age Group: ~40 Country: USA
Hobbies and Interests What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: Video games, esp. mobile games. Anime, manga, fantasy/sci-fi... Writing (both fan and original work)... Bookbinding, zines, some beading... Sometimes I am crafty in other ways, but mostly I've realized that's a more aspirational area than a practical one. I would like to get back to exploring local cemeteries and lesser-known points of interest. Oh, and sometimes I build plastic models, mostly Gundam. Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: If I'm not too tired. I'm working a lot right now. ^^;; Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: Not really. I do like robots, and I do work with robots... but there's really not much actual overlap there. If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: Hmm. I don't think I codify my hobbies this way. Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: I don't have the energy right now, alas. Actually, I'd just like more time to do current hobbies. If you're into collecting something, what is it?: Aside from books and games, I used to collect Monster High/Ever After High dolls and still have them everywhere. Eventually I'll pare down the collection a bit, but they were truly fun to collect. I also have a collection of spatulas. Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: Right now, video games. Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: Video games, anime, manga, etc. We don't have to be a 1:1 match; I truly just enjoy reading about people having fun with their stuff. Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: Video game fandom can be pretty toxic, tbh. And so can animanga. But, like, it's fine to play on Easy mode or not care about the sequel or whatever. (Also scalpers, scalpers annoy me.) Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: Both? I basically don't do things with my spare time if I don't find them fun/relaxing. And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? Mostly alone. I don't mind having friends in games or chatting about things after I read them or whatever, but I'm pretty bad at group reads/watches and my internet is crap so I don't do MMOs.
General Journaling How often do you post?: A few times a week. Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I've been working on a series of posts about the games I'm playing/played, so yeah. I also post about whatever else I'm reading/watching, household projects, working-with-robots, writing, etc. What do you like to read about on your friends page?: People enjoying the stuff they're doing. Bad days happen but if every day is a long post about everything going wrong for you, we're not a good match. Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: To a degree? Mostly regarding writing, or letting people know about events. I do run a small fest and I mention that. I'd prefer something more substantial than endless fic notifs and exchange letters though, for reading. Do you have any deal-breakers?: Minimalism evangelists. People who mind my swearing.
