#introductions
Hello! // Bonjour ! π
I never introduced myself but I already exist in the fediverse, here: @xenthreaded but this will now be my main.
I like to draw and paint but don't take enough time for it.
I am slowly trying to get back into reading, mostly #scifi but I can read whatever is good.
I also like #computers, #freesoftware and #programming (I'm learning #Rust). Hopefully, next year I should be able to call myself a #computerscience student.
Uh ... and I identify as a man.
@xenthreaded @xenthreaded A lot of people appreciate preferred pronouns in bios/bio fields
@maloki oh right π
@xenthreaded Hi, nice to meet you! A lot of those sound like things I enjoy, too (all the scifi, and free software, and compsci, and identifying male, and stuff), and the ones I don't enjoy yet are things I'd like to try (drawing and Rust π).
@rixx And you too ^^
I don't have much perspective with any of these but I can definitely advise you to get into drawing.
It's frustrating and takes time but it really teaches patience and is very rewarding. Just go without expectations.
@xenthreaded @xenthreaded Oh, I so hear you on the "don't take time for it." I've managed to bash out a couple of drawing/painting projects - have enjoyed them most of the time, but oh... focussing on them is disappearing down the rabbit hole and not emerging for *days*
@OldBrushNewPaper @xenthreaded
I dropped for long periods a couple of times and now I feel like, finishing something is crossing a desert. I can sketch things and the like ut yeah.
But I know deep inside that it's getting into the habit that's hard, then it's a highway
(well that's what I heard, it never felt like that haha)
@xenthreaded @xenthreaded The highway, as you put it, seems to open up if I commit to a project. So I've developed a certain... resistance? to embracing an attractive looking project.
#shodΕ at least has the virtue of being individually quick. (Just don't ask how many tries each "finished" project actually represents. *wan grin*
Yeah trying over and over is the real secret ^^
I should try calligraphy (in general), thanks for reminding π
@xenthreaded #unironichashtags are tiring
