obscure youtubers who make werid videos and never go over an inside voice. it's so calming
 
Getting interested in the furby fandom and furbies in general. Too bad old furbies are like 50-80 dollars each
 
Heaven help me, I'm writing a Ready Player One work of fan-fiction, for reasons unclear even to me. Other than as a method to teach myself Scrivener, maybe. And deep seated masochism, definitely. I did in fact like both the book and the movie, but honestly not that much. Yet here I am. 8,000 words in and researching the best-selling vehicles of 1981.

What's odd is that there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of fan-fiction about the book or movie on either Wattpad, FF.net or AO3. And what there is, is mostly of the "Wade wakes up and finds he's now Nolan Sorrento's rent boy. Find out what happens as he enters into a new life of submission and feminization. All to a soundtrack of Duran Duran," variety.

Which is not what I'm doing. What I'm writing is going to be -- insofar as I can pull it off -- a completely canon parallel story to the novel, utilizing Cline's world-building but none of his characters, with maybe some reference to them at the end. We'll see how that works. I guess one thing I don't need to have to worry about a fandom getting pissy with me, at least, if I garble any details. There simply doesn't seem to be much of one.
 
I used to be really into making clay sculptures, and I'm thinking about getting back into it. My proudest creation was a model of Homer Simpson as a pony I made for my brony friend. He was not amused.

I also started playing the old Donkey Kong country games to 100% and I gotta say I remember why I ignored most of the bonuses as a kid.
 
Slow Cookers are amazing and I have been obsessed with making food in them lately. I got a recipe for a pot roast using ranch and au jus mix off reddit and people love it. Maybe it will even get me laid one day
 
The Isle. I can't play enough of this game, even if it's still in alpha.

I don't like to use the term "fangirling" but after watching The Wicker Man (ORIGINAL Wicker Man, mind you! Not the Cage-tastic remake) I've totally been fangirling over Christopher Lee. Very handsome, and holy shit he was so badass. I am sad that I didn't learn how badass he was until after his passing, I would like to have appreciated the man more while he was still with us.
I've been watching his Dracula films, which has branched out into an interest in Hammer Horror films in general. In my research I'm also learning a lot about Peter Cushing who in addition to being a great actor and Christopher's best friend, was apparently the sweetest cinnamon roll of a man to ever exist.

We've got plenty of cows (Abby Brown, Stacy Barrington, etc) that are perfect examples of why you should never get a tattoo of your current obsession but fuck me, I CANNOT get the idea of a Christopher Lee tribute tattoo out of my head. I want it to be based on this image...

...but with an Iron Maiden shirt. Don't even try to tell me that isn't badass. The man was a metalhead, he would have appreciated it.
 
My corporate job is soul crushing me and i miss the days of being an industrial mechanic so I'm getting back into car building, I've had this 85 ranger for months and the engine is starting to go. So I'm going to swap from a 2.8 v6 to a 302 and redo everything internally and externally and hopefully I'll have a 700hp truck within a year.
 
<---- My Waifu.

In all seriousness, I got back to a DW/ROTK kick for about 2 years since my last fandom was fucking shit. Fandoms suck, but it's best when you have a small group of friends who will love and bash your passions at the same time.
 
Old-school sci-fi anime, namely Dirty Pair, Bubblegum Crisis, Patlabor, and Urusei Yatsura. I've also been trying to get back into drawing in between classes and work.
