Profile

📚 BOOKS
The Dresden Files is my favorite series followed closely by The Iron Druid Chronicles (Oberon is the best character, you can't change my mind 🥺). So far, I have also enjoyed Hearne’s latest series, Ink & Sigil. Overall, I mostly read books in the Urban Fantasy genre and Fantasy but occasionally read Mysteries, Thrillers, novels in the Horror genre, and more rarely, Romance. The Steampunk genre is also my jam.

🧶 YARNBENDING
I don't really have a wide repertoire when it comes to crocheting. Since roughly 2014 I've been making scarves and blankets and, once in a while, a cozy for phones or tablets. Sometime this year I do want to try and make garments, but in the past I've had difficulty meeting gauge requirements. Hopefully with some practice, I can get better at it. 🤞

🎮 GAMES
A casual/social gamer, I mainly play MMOs, RPGs, and games in the Survival Horror genre. My favorite games are Firewatch and the Silent Hill franchise even though I haven't actually played much of Silent Hill 😅. The game I mostly play is Dead By Daylight, but other games I've been enjoying are Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy XIV, New World, Palia, Genshin Impact, Minecraft, and Little Nightmares. I also try to stream at least one or two days a week over on Twitch I'm not much of a streamer anymore.

☕ TEA
Since I'm not a big fan of coffee and as a way to get myself off of drinking pop/soda all the time, I've become a tea drinker. Once in a blue moon, I post about new teas I've found and enjoyed.

⚠️ I don't post here very often, but that's something I want to try and change for 2025.
✅ Posts about books I'm reading, recently read, and want to read (this will also include manga).
✅ Posts about anime I'm currently watching or plan to watch.
✅ General life posts or events or activities I've done outside the house. I do try to keep the work rants to a minimum and when I do post about them, I put them under a cut.
❌ Politics and religion. I get enough of the former in RL that I just want one little corner of the Internet free of it. If you regularly post about politics, that's perfectly fine but, if it's possible, please put me in a No Politics, No Religion filter. Of these two topics, I am generally the Agree To Disagree type of person.
❌ Vague, ranty type posts. After a 7 year hiatus from this blog, I found a lot of these when going back through old posts and that is something I want to change. If I need to rant/whine about something in my life I will probably just make it a private post as a way to get it off my chest and move on with my life.
