General
Name/Nickname: Tina
Age or Age Group: Turning 34 on May 10th.
Country: Germany.
Pronouns: They/them.

Hobbies and Interests
What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: Reading, colouring, jigsaw puzzles, cooking, taking walks, hanging out with friends, taking pictures (won't call it photography because I pretty much just snap pics of anything I like with my phone), travelling, learning Turkish; podcasts, psychology, true crime/serial killers, paranormal stories, cats, unicorns, intersectional feminism, social justice in general, languages, music (just listening, not making any myself)...probably more that will come to mind later!

Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: Yes to reading, taking walks, taking pictures and learning Turkish. As for colouring and jigsaw puzzles, I do these about every second day, depending on the amount of time I have and which one I feel like doing at that moment. When it comes to interests, I definitely devote time to (learning about) them on a regular basis - I especially listen to tons of podcasts which encompass some of the topics I mentioned. To give you an idea, I am tracking the episodes I listen to in a DW post and just hit 801 episodes so far this year xD

Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: No, and even though some of these would probably be cool jobs, I am currently very satisfied with the one I do have.
If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: Not sure...maybe cooking some dishes that family and friends genuinely loved? At least it didn't come across like they were just humouring me LOL. Also, I have a 391 day streak of learning Turkish on Duolingo and have completed Project 365 a few times. No idea if these are achievements worth mentioning?!? I feel like I'm bragging now xD

Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: I want to get into Tarot! Just ordered myself this beautiful deck: https://www.lisasterle.com/mwt <3
I also want to get back into going swimming regularly which came to a major hold during the pandemic and I miss it :(
If you're into collecting something, what is it?: I collect rubber duckies, and anything cat- and unicorn themed.
Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: Probably reading, listening to podcasts and jigsaw puzzles.
Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: It would be a plus, of course, but it's not required at all!
Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: It's not the hobby/interest itself, but rather the fact that I don't have enough time and often not enough spoons to do enough of all of them. And of course, in case of travelling, there's the issue of money or rather, lack of it...
Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: Both, for sure. Some of them are very beneficial to my mental health, too.
And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? Most of them are rather solitary hobbies, except hanging out with friends.

General Journaling
How often do you post?: Lately it's been about once or twice a week, but I am wanting to get back into it.
Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I do mention them a lot! In fact, I do a Project 365 post every Sunday, showing the pictures I took everyday. Other than that, I post about daily life, work (I do data entry/part-time office work in a sheltered workshop for people with mental illnesses) and just anything I feel like mentioning/talking about.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Everything that gives me a glimpse into people's lives, what they love, what makes them get up in the morning...I'm not a "good vibes only" person though. I will take the good, bad, ugly, anything you are willing to share. <3

Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: I do not, but I'm willing to read about your fandom passions, as long as it's not anything hateful towards other fandoms/ships etc.

Do you have any deal-breakers?: The kind of "good vibes only" people who want life to be all puppies and sunshine all the time. As I wrote above, I deal with some mental health issues and while I have been working on them for years and made huge strides towards getting better, I want to be free to talk about my struggles and express my feelings without worrying if I am being "too negative" for you.

Also, the general hatefulness/bigotry, although honestly, who would admit to being a bigot? I am rather left-wing politically so if you are more conservative, we probably won't be a good fit, especially since I don't like getting into discussions on here.

Apart from that, I welcome anyone from all walks of life. I haven't been active much this month but I am hoping to change that! <3

We share many common interests! I'm adding you; hope that's okay.
