NAME: Ante (she/they)
AGE: 27
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: general interests: I am an educator (middle school world language - german) and, as such, am constantly reading research in pedagogy, education, language acquisition, equity, etc.. I love cats, dark chocolate, astronomy, avant-garde art of the early 20th century (modernism), literature, language learning/acquisition, linguistics, trains, thinking about memory/time... the usual. :-)
hobbies reading (my main interest is german lit and cultural studies, go figure, so I read a lot of nonfiction in that realm; I do also appreciate fictional literature as well), writing (mostly privately), taking photographs, dabbling in watercolor (just started last summer with zero training), playing with my cats and gerbil, taking walks/cycling/being in nature, cooking and baking (vegetarian and vegan). does riding public transit also count? I also like to travel, go to museums, be by myself but among society, etc. I also really like coffee (and tea, but I have more fun making coffee in various ways at home).
fan interests: my animanga taste stopped when I was in middle school; as such, there are few things I care more about (still) than Fullmetal Alchemist (both '03 and Brotherhood/manga) or Katekyo Hitman REBORN! (manga). though I'm not terribly into the anime scene in general, I will always be down to discuss these at any length.
I generally don't watch series (I have watched... four, I think, in the past decade), but lately have been very into Everything's Gonna Be Okay and The Good Place.
in the past two years, I've become someone who listens to podcasts a lot. this was surprising to me because I appreciate silence, but it also makes sense because I don't have a TV/online subscription/watch series in general and it's as close as I can get to reading while driving or cooking, haha. I love listening to things related to history, science, equity (racial justice, etc.).
I can't make music at all, but I love listening to music. my taste is generally indie, electronic instrumental, hip-hop/rap, and alternative from the 00s. I can name some favorites if you want.
also, I like films! I like drama, historical action, classic/silent cinema, horror, some sci-fi... a little bit of everything. I do not, however, like most forms of comedy.
LOOKING FOR: it's been a while since I've made some new online friends, so I'm just trying to poke my head out and see if there's anyone I might get along with. I think my ideal new friend would share general interests with me and not necessarily fandoms, but if you happen to be into one of my ancient (ha) animanga interests, I would be so glad to nerd out with you. in general, I like to talk to people who also have a field of study they're passionate about/talk about (I love learning things, period) or who like to share their daily life and introspections. even if I don't comment all the time, I just love gleaning how people live and what their experiences are like. if you have cats, that's also a huge plus.
ANYTHING ELSE?: located currently in the NE US, but I go back and forth between here and NE/SE Germany. also, I am a gay woman/lesbian/use the word queer sometimes, so that comes up every once in a while. I also have some low-grade chronic health issues that come up (namely migraine and some other stuff).
ALSO KNOWN AS: millefiore @ twitter; future.pasts @ instagram. I also use plurk. I tend to use all of these more than my journal, to be honest, but (like many of us), I do hope to get more into writing here with some consistency.
nice to maybe meet you!
