General

I've been a jack of all trades, master of none with my hobbies.

My big interests lately have been journaling and reading more often. My favorite genres have always been science fiction and dystopias. Technology has been a fascination since I was a child, so I enjoy thinking about what we could create. Dystopias intrigue me with the possibility that our world could be a worse place if we remain apathetic about what goes on in our lives.

Besides reading, I also enjoy programming, which is something I've done since elementary school. I've made only a few programs, but I do imagine cool apps I could make. I'm working towards writing down my ideas so that I could actually make them one day.

Some other hobbies I've picked up but have yet to master are: chess, crocheting, knitting, game design, web design, drawing, streaming, and video editing. I also play games too :P. I'm on PC if anyone has Steam.

I'd be great to chat about similar interests, but it's great to learn about new things too.

Music

i don’t really know how to describe my music taste because i'm a bit bad with genres.

some artists i like are: Green Day, Sublime, Deftones, Snow Strippers, Tyler, Frank Ocean, Gorillaz, Radio Head, MF DOOM, Sade, Mitski, and Faye Webster

playlist i made

Movies

• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (I rewatch this every year with my best friends)
• The Matrix (I've always liked the idea of code, so the visuals were really neat)
• Knives Out (I do enjoy a good murder mystery)
• Soul (I learned that my passions do not necessarily have to be my career)
• Guardians of the Galaxy (Found family has always been a core part of my beliefs)
• Star Wars (I watched all the films with my childhood friend online over quarantine)
• Stand and Deliver (Math has always been my favorite subject, so seeing how mastering it could better someone's live, especially one I relate to, was a beautiful experience)
• Freedom Writers (For similar reasons, I greatly value education and its positive impact on people)
• La La Land (The most realistic depiction of love I've seen in media)
• Everything Everywhere All At Once (I've thought about parallel universes before and what it would be like if things were a little different)
• The Truman Show (Sometimes I have similar thoughts that maybe my life isn't what it seems)
