I told you guys, I'm Swedish.
Why I came: I came looking for a person who disappeared from another forum. Either he is not here, or I cannot recognize him.
Why I stay: I appreciate the lack of strict moderation. I do not mind other people picking on me but I do mind moderator power trips which are common on other forums. That also means I do not have to self censor any topic I want to bring up.
I'm into self sufficiency and I used to have a small rabbit farm for meat. I got fed up so I just grow things now. Although the deer got my favorite apple tree. I think it will die. sad Once in a while I go on a hike, go camping or trail riding.
I'm also a creative writer even though not published yet. I might make a few ebooks instead. It's sort of up in the air.
I also paint in acrylics. Sometimes.
I make retro web pages, in the past I made them for people when they actually weren't retro yet. But I still will not take coding into web 2.0. I'm a bit nostalgic. And backwards.
I'm also interested in science even if I have been locked out of the field academically since I really, really suck at math.
Although my favorite pastime is just kicking back with a beer, IRC, something good to watch on TV or on here and a good meal.
I used to be into console gaming but I don't have the money for that now. I have never felt comfortable gaming on a PC.
A few things. There is more, but more a little of this and that.
TY for asking.
Haha, I share many of these hobbies, sans growing things/rabbit farming, painting, web design.
I am also an unpublished creative writer, though my big issue is I get distracted from my projects before their finished farther then first draft. Sometimes before I even get that far.
I manage to follow through some of them, some not. I participate in Nanowrimo which is a big help with discipline. As far as finishing the novel itself. Then of course you are stuck with something draftish anyway.
I have two young adult novels that probably are the best candidates for publishing even if those are the two I put the least effort into and like the least. However, they need editing, and my friend is very good at that. She said she would do it, but she is as unorganized as I am.
