General Name/Nickname: xnera :p Age or Age Group: late 40s Country: United States Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Hobbies and Interests What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: Knitting, Crochet, sometimes pin loom weaving, playing video games, very occasionally reading books Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily? : Video games daily! I play Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on a daily basis. I usually knit or crochet several times a week, and often enough it's daily but not always. Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: I sell some of my patterns on Ravelry, but I barely make any money at it. I stream myself playing video games on Twitch three times a week but have yet to make affiliate, and doubt I will. I have considered taking craft commissions, and this year am actively investigating selling at craft fairs, but it will never be a full-time job. If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: Oh! I'm very pleased with my Aerith Doll Clothes because it took some trial and error to get the lace hem to stop flipping up, but I did it Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: Weaving, on inkle looms or a table loom, but (a) I need more money, (b) I need more space. Also, I'd really lie to get back into reading fiction on a more consistent basis. If you're into collecting something, what is it?: I collect floating pens, also sometimes known as tilt pens: those pens that have a small scene in their barrels that when you tilt them, a piece of the scene moves. I have over 50 of them, but they are packed away so I have lost count of exactly how many I have. Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: Hmm, no? I'm pretty equal with my video gaming and crafting. Both take up significant portions of my time and mean a lot to me. Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I wouldn't mind getting to know other Twitch streamers Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: I have anxiety, and it can interfere with my video gaming, especially since I play an MMORPG where you sometimes have to play with others. It's annoying when the anxiety rears its head. As for the crafting: annoying that I have just one room in my house where I have to have ALL my stuff, and thus my room is cramped with both unfinished and finished items. Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? Mostly alone, even with the MMO I tend to play alone when I can, but I don't mind playing with others! I am always up for talking about gaming, or crafting, and in fact for the latter I'm captain of a crafting team on Ravelry, which is great fun!
General Journaling How often do you post?: Several times a week. Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: Yes, I do! I make a monthly Crafting Update post, and often talk about my video games in my posts. But I also post a lot about regular life stuff, especially living with aging parents and dealing with anxiety. What do you like to read about on your friends page?: A mix of things. I am fine with reading about life updates, but it'd be super fun to read about others posting about their interests! Even if it's not an interest I do, it can be fascinating to read about someone writing passionately about their interests. Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: Very occasionally I write fanfic, and will write about it in my journal. I don't read much fanfic though, and most of my fandom interaction these days is linking things I saw on Twitter into a Discord group I'm in. I don't mind reading about fandom stuff but it's not what the only thing I'd want to read. Do you have any deal-breakers?: -isms of any kind: racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, etc.
