My Hobbies

Reading

I enjoy reading and learning new things. My favorite place to be is the library, especially when it is empty and no one is there. My favorite books are mystery books and horror stories. I grew up reading with my family especially with my mom. I always need to read something before bed, even if it is just an article online. I have an immense love for books. I wish to own my own in-home library someday. My favorite library to visit at the moment is the Fowler, CA library because it is the closest to my house and rarely gets packed. Besides horror and mystery books, I enjoy learning about science and religion. When it comes to science, I love to learn about Chemistry and Biology. When it comes to religion, I love to learn about Christianity and the overlapping history between prophecies and events that have actually happened in the world.

Creating Pinterest Boards

I like to create Pinterest boards in my free time. Pinterest is my favorite social media app because it is very private. There are never really any negative comments. I have only ever posted my own art and creations on Pinterest twice, but I really like to save other peoples posts to my pinterest boards. The type of stuff that I like to save is anything from zombie themed posts to wedding planning pictures. While I do not plan on getting married any time soon, it is still nice to think about. I can spend hours on pinterest if I have the time. There are a lot of creative ideas on there and I like to see what other people are working on. Then, I try to recreate it in my own art style or with my own addition to the original idea. Pinterest is the best social media app, because it is the least social.

Watching Movies

I love to watch movies. Particularly early 2000s superhero movies. One of my favorite movies is the 2002 Spiderman with Tobey Maguire. Another one of my favorites is X-Men. Certain Tim Burton movies such as, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and Corpse Bride are my favorites. Shows and movies are always comforting. Supernatural is always playing while I eat or sleep. It's a show that I grew up with and in some weird way, relate to. If im not watching a movie or a show, I am watching YouTube. Youtube content from people like Joyce Meyer and Johnny Chang are my favorite. There is this podcast that Johnny Chang has and it's called the "Unlearned Wisdom Podcast". These are Christian content YouTube creators that I love to watch daily.

Playing Games

Another one of my hobbies is to play games. I love single player games that have maps that I can run around on for hours. My favorite game is Ocarina of Time. I grew up playing it on the family Nintendo 64. But now I play Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo 3DS. I have other games and I could always check games out at the library, but I prefer to play Ocarina of Time. If I am not playing Ocarina of Time, I am playing Breath of the Wild, which is also a Zelda game. I'm gonna be honest, I only beat three of the Divine Beasts in the game. I could always go and finish the game another time, but what I really like to do is run around the map collecting stuff and completing side quests. I also like to play this game on Steam called Stick RPG2. It is really boring to the average person, but it's just nice to play. It consists of clicking buttons to earn achievements as a stick figure, and for some reason I cannot stop playing it.

Crochet

I love to create unique things. Espcially clothes that I cannott typically find in-store. So, I learned how to crochet and create the things that I want. My mother taught me how to crochet when I was very young, but I never really stuck with it. It has been two years since I began to learn more from YouTube. There are many tutorials on how to create alternative clothes, bedding, and accessories. I also look up patterns on websites such as Crochet.com for an alternative style of clothing. I made my brother a set of The Wizard of Oz plushies as well as a bunch of Spidermen for my sister. It's nice knowing that I can create something for others that they will cherish.
