Hobbies and Interests
What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: I crochet. I used to quilt and I'd like to get back into it. I was recently given a bunch of leftover quilting cotton but I haven't had the time to sit down and get started. I paint my nails.
I also read and write but I'm a grad student, so that's more like my job right now.

Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: I go on and off. I read every day. I do not write every day. I crochet when it doesn't hurt my hands too much.

Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: Right now, I'm supposed to be working on my thesis for my MFA Writing for Children & Young Adults; I'm a full time student, so I guess you could say that's my "job"? I don't make much money off of it.

If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: I was nominated for the Rhysling Award (for poetry) and I was a Best of the Net finalist.

Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: Like I said, I'd like to get back into quilting. I like trying new things. I recently got a darning loom and I'd really love to try dying yarn. I'll try anything once.

If you're into collecting something, what is it?: I got into American Girl and Licca dolls during lockdown. I have two new-to-me American Girls (Paloma and Jules) and two Liccas (Kana and Miette).

Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: Not really. I have ADHD, so I like to bounce around.

Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I would love to meet other adult doll collectors but I like hearing about any crafts you do! I'm always looking for writing buddies, too.

Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: I mean, none of it is cheap. 💸

Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: I do a little bit of both. Crochet is my most relaxing hobby. I like to make simple blankets and shawls while I watch TV.

And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? I can do a bit of both! I recently joined the local crochet guild. That's fun.

General Journaling
How often do you post?: It varies, but lately I've been posting a few times a week.

Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I do, when it's part of my day. I might say something like "I worked on the scrapghan today" or "I took a few pictures of Paloma at the park." I mostly write about my day in varying levels of detail. Lately my entries have been short, but sometimes they get quite long when I feel like recounting everything I did that day. (Excessively long posts, or lots of complaining, get put behind cuts.)

What do you like to read about on your friends page?: I want to hear about your day! I like reading about everyone's daily lives, including - but not only - your hobbies.

Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: I'll post a bit of squee or meta if it's on my mind, like I watched or read something and I'm thinking about it. I don't mind reading about it, but I don't think we'll click if you post more about fandom than everyday life.

Do you have any deal-breakers?: I'm a disabled genderqueer lesbian Jew-in-progress, so… I mean, the usual?
