Reintroducing myself! Hi, Rae here. I like #crochet, #fiberarts, #reading (especially Japanese lit), #anthropology (in school for it), #videogames (#stardewvalley, #falcom, especially the Trails/Kiseki series), #languagelearning. Aprendo #español. I’m learning #piano and #singing. I enjoy #writing and #conlanging. I’m really shy (but I think I’m slowly coming out of my shell here), so please be patient with me.
#introductions

Hi, I'm Rae. Mastodon sounded nice so I decided to try it.

I like #crochet, #reading, and I have an interest in #languages. I'm currently learning Spanish. I'm studying #anthropology in school. I'm really shy so please be patient with me.

On one hand, I could look at the weather so I know how to dress. On the other hand, I know it's cold, do I need to know how cold? If I see "<X> degrees below zero" will that really make me feel better?

Yesterday I woke up with a start from a dream. Does it count as dreaming in #Spanish if I had been reviewing vocabulary in my dreams? I dreamed I was getting them right. Maybe I was. Crecido, Crecido, Crecido...

Here's that swatch I finished yesterday. Gauge finally matches! Will proceed on hat soon. Was thinking of making this hat unless someone thinks I'm better served with an alternate hat- https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/alma-hat #crochet #yarn #craft

I'm feeling under the weather. Called in sick to class. Despite illness I want to do a bunch of things in my house. Not just videogames, chores. Pals, I'm beginning to get the feeling I don't know how to rest. *sneezes 5 times in a row*

Waiting for ECT. Did finish hat swatch. Can't measure other than guesstimate because I forgot measuring tape. =( No pictures right now. #crochet #boredinhospitalbed

My #dog is being temperamental about eating the past few days unless I spice it up a lot or just give him canned food. Should I be concerned or have I finally just reached peak spoiled? #dogs

I also worked on a swatch for a hat when I needed to return to the world of #crochet. That wasn't much though. #yarnuary https://witches.town/media/N073uSAzhRF3ht7sB60

This is what I did this week for #yarnuary! My goal was to relearn #knitting. I tried to do Seed/Moss stitch, but did I? I don't think my stitches look like the pictures I see. Is it because I'm on circular needles?

For #yarnuary I'd like to share another project I made in 2016. For my brother I made an #amigurumi #Doraemon, IIRC he was really pleased with little guy. I don't do amigurumi that much though I do enjoy doing it. #crochet

My brother has been coming to me every freaking day with "Wanna bake something?" And I'm weak. I don't have the power to resist, but as I mix the cookies, I think "I'm trying to lose weight!" Then I eat raw cookie dough.

*looks at time* Okay I guess I have to stop playing #StardewValley. I don't want to stop, but I have a bajillion and a half things to do. I'll introduce myself to these other villagers later.

I got chewed out for playing Stardew Valley instead of a different game. I know what my brother meant but I just wanted to do some farming. orz

I haven't played Stardew Valley since before it updated. Got too busy. I think I should start over. What all changed I wonder?

Maybe it's the lack of caffeine. I typed "anthropological world" for this paper for class and briefly imagined furries instead of anthropologists doing their jobs. 😓 #sendcoffee

#Question. IIRC it's a bit early to do searching of my own, but does anyone know of any #archaeological digs outside of Nebraska? #archaeology #archaeologist #anthropology #academia

Yay my brother's not mad at me! 😃

I need to email my brother to tell him something I don't want to tell him 😟 Two things actually. One's bad, one's probably okay. Should I get it over with or space it out?
