I am the sort of person who collects hobbies. I pick up at least one new one every 5 months or so, and cycle around all my other hobbies every year or season or so, depending on what speaks to me. As a result, it's impossible for me to put all my interests and hobbies on here, but here are a few!

I've loved art since I was a kid! I consider myself an artist as an adult. I’ve studied fine art and design, and I’ve done a lot of work both traditionally and digitally. My two favorite sub fields are illustration, and the history of art. I love to track the changes that take place between decades and centuries and eras and the ways that art is changing in the present day.

I've always loved games both analog and digital. Board games, puzzles, TTRPGs, CRPGs, co-op games, etc. I have a hobby of running various types of games via forums (often original games or heavy modifications of the party game Mafia (also known as Werewolf in some variations)), and acting as game master in tabletop role-playing games I run for friends. I also have made a few attempts at developing video games, but it's something I've had limited success with so far.

Astronomy is an interest of mine that is rarely passionate all year round, but that I always come back to. I've gone to conventions, met real astronauts, and helped my dad to do astrophotography, something I would like to get into myself someday. I really enjoy going out stargazing and wish I could go more often! I'm not a space expert or anything, but it's something I have a fondness for.

A few years ago I became obsessed with trying to learn how to sew and make my own clothes… but I decided it was too hard and decided to take CIS145 instead! I'm still hoping to get started, and planning to try quilting which I've become especially interested in. Both fortunately and unfortunately, I've found this to be a very offline sort of hobby, but here are a few links I've found:
