I always found being instructed to introduce oneself about the most anxiety-provoking thing possible, but I'll likely just go on lurking forever if I don't take a deep breath and do it. And so.
I'm 32, Australian, and when I like something, I tend to become obsessive very quickly and very thoroughly. When I was about thirteen, this was The Wheel of Time for me. I had almost no regular internet access at the time outside of school assignments, so the books were the beginning and end for me. I was looking for long novels and specifically a very long series at the library (I've always been a bibliophile) and it fit the bill. I did re-read all the books that had been released thus far less two years later, but my interest then flagged whilst waiting the newer novels and I only recently read to completion. Finally. Was spurred to do so by the television show, it must be said, which I gravitated towards out of major nostalgia but also Rosamund Pike.
I don't have hobbies, per se, but I read almost as many books as I buy, am very into mythology and folklore, etymology, word and logic puzzles, and spending far too much time on forums and social media obsessing over actresses (and their characters), especially those playing sapphic roles. Apart from that, I work a not enjoyable job, try to avoid getting buried by mental health issues, and listen to a lot of music and podcasts.
So hi. Salut (And yes, that's almost the extent of my knowledge of other languages. Thanks, Christie/Poirot, for providing the goods.)
