General

-dance
i've been a dancer for about eight or nine years, competitive for two (though i've taken a break from competing), and i love any genre of dance. big shoutout to tony testa.
-movies
i love movies so so so so so so so so much (i know they're a later category, but i have to mention them). i've spent my whole life watching movies and wanting to make movies and be in them and write them, or really just be involved in any part of the process.
-guitar
i'm still pretty sucky at guitar, but i've only been learning for maybe two (and a half?) years, so i've got a long way to go
-theater
perhaps i'm not a full blown theater kid, but i really love theater and the performing arts. i've been in two musicals, matilda jr. and matilda, and i did show choir before starting theater so i'm also not a total fish out of water
-art
i've never really taken art classes and i'm not an insanely good artist, but drawing and painting and taking pictures and everything have always been things i enjoy and art has no rules so...who cares?
-reading & writing
nerd alert! yes i'm a bookworm, yes i write shitty r/im14andthisisdeep type poetry, yes i correct my friends when they use the wrong your/you're or there/their/they're. it's okay to do that and type in all lowercase.

Music

muse, my chemical romance, sufjan stevens, fiona apple, weezer, bikini kill, elliott smith, dead kennedys, ayesha, system of a down, bassvictim, fall out boy, panic! at the disco, SOPHIE, radiohead, be your own pet, primer 55, korn, paramore, silverstein, car seat headrest, deftones, neutral milk hotel, nirvana, pierce the veil, lana del rey, hole, a heartwell ending, massive attack, rage against the machine, many MANY more. i'll listen to any music that's good. i even listen to some music that's bad. (give me music recs PLEASE)

Movies

not ready to pick a top four until i'm either lying on my deathbed or have seen every movie in existence. some favs for now:
drop dead gorgeous, ladybird, the rocky horror picture show, cinema paradiso, humanist vampire seeking consenting suicidal person, jojo rabbit, midsommar, sucker punch, call me by your name
i don't care if those are basic, i love them

Television

i'm a gleek! also love brooklyn nine nine and i've been watching the walking dead lately. i don't watch many tv shows.

Books

pjo, hoo, toa, etc. i wanna expand on the riordanverse and not just stick to the pjo related books, but i have yet to do so. one of my favs is the secret history. justice for camilla macauley. others i loved:

-the song of achilles, madeline miller
