wedding planning
Knitting, watching Netflix and hanging out with my boyfriend are probably the 3 things I do the most :) Currently knitting a baby blanket for a family friend who is expecting and I'm enjoying it so much that I've started bringing my knitting to uni to do in the breaks lol
- I help lead the years 2-4 Group at Girls Brigade and we do stuff like craft, games, cooking, devotions, etc. Kinda started off in Girls Brigade in year 7 and then went on with three of my friends to become leaders last year.
- I'm involved in my local band (both the youth ensemble & main wind band), uni's wind symphony and clarinet lessons, so I practise and do concerts/marches and events with them. Been a part of my local one since year 6, and uni's a course requirement (but it's really good). I've also been involved in school musicals a few times and I think I'm going to do the orchestra for my schools musical this year. :D
Outside of work, hanging out with my baby nephew occupies the bulk of my time. I like teaching him things. We're currently stuck on a game where I kick a ball away from him, and he carries a donut (the inflatable ones for pools), and he has to slam the donut onto the ball so the ball gets stuck on it
Other than that, I like wood-burning (still learning the movements), martial arts (altho I only do it once in a blue moon nowadays -- not lessons, but I spar with my brother at the gym), gardening (I grow a bunch of herbs, some veggies, and flowers), and cooking (I enjoy learning new cuisines). I've also been fixing an old dirtbike for the past 16 months. It's not a hobby and I'm only like 30% done haha, but it makes me sound interesting if I pretend I'm still actively doing it
Outside of work and school, my free time is divided between a fair bit of running, poor attempts at Reading, and lurking about these forums. I would like to do more reading though.
I really enjoy photography - even if the photos don't turn out great, I enjoy having a purpose for walking somewhere - also enjoy walking places just for the sake of it though (I should probably post some of the photos I took last night haha).
Love listening to music, but I'm rather bad at finding new songs to listen to.
I enjoy pretty much any water-based activity, although it's not something I do a lot due to a lot of those sorts of things being expensive/needing equipment I don't have.
Also really enjoy reading, although I haven't been doing much of it lately.
Aso, netflix. Just finished watching The Umbrella Academy
What is wood-burning, exactly? I know nothing about it, but it sounds interesting.
Based on your thread in the Creative Corner, your photos are mint! What are your favourite three songs atm?That's because I post the good ones ;)
Nice! How often do you have to practise for stuff like that? I used to play piano (and violin back in the day) but that never really developed.I try to practise around 45min-1hr most days, mainly for scales and pieces for my exams. We get assessed on the wind symphony music so I practise through some of the harder parts (the runs and faster bits), but I don't practise too much for the other band (unless it's for a concert or the musics a bit hard). I have wind symphony on Tuesdays (4-6:15) and my other band on Fridays (6:30-10) so I don't really practise at home too much on those days. :)
^That's sick, dude. I had no idea you were doing this!
So - apologies for the crass comparison - is it kinda like wood tattooing?

It's a recent and somewhat infrequent thing haha. It takes a while for the pen to heat up, so I usually need a lot of spare time to do it or I only get 5 minutes of actual work, so for now it's not super frequent (YET)
Not crass because I fucking love master tattooists haha. And yes, it's actually a perfect comparison! And just like tattooing, it's really difficult to keep the same direction/depth on the material you're using. I'm currently using poplar to burn, as it's pretty soft and the grain isn't funky so it produces no weird sap bubbles (like you'd get with really sturdier woods like oak)
Outside of actually studying/crying at the amount of teamwork I have to do at uni (and sleeping. Let's also include reading here haha):
- Going on coffee/lunch dates with mum (last time, it was an AquaS icecream one. 100% recommend.)
- Waiting in (horrendous) lines for free food whilst at uni (I waited 37 minutes for a sub-par taco yesterday...)
- Helping out at a Red Cross shop
- Helping out on two uni clubs I'm on the committee for. (Which includes freaking out that the event I'm responsible for rn lol)
- Occasionally playing my bass
- Also always planning my next flight(s) to/from Sydney for the obvious reasons <3
What's the event?A trivia night! The faculty asked one of my clubs to run it and I'm the person allocated to it (mainly because I was kinda really keen). I honestly thought like only 2 people would be interested, but I have ~33 people coming, so I'm mildly surprised tbh!
And don't think that cheeky white text got by me hahaha.

#exposed :O
Who's your favourite tattooist if any?
^Yeet. Yeah that's nice work. I really like Chris Garver (I used to be a big fan of Miami Ink haha). So much talent.
Ahh that's totally sick! Already a big fan of this dude. I see he does a lot of Japanese-style tattoos (Irekumi?), which is actually my favourite style. If I can keep my head on one design for the year I'll be planning on starting mine haha. Feel like I should bump your old tattoo thread ;)
Would love to hear more about your running. Pls give me tips.I run about 5-6 times a week. This breaks down to an easy jog on (some) Mondays and (all) Wednesdays, Faster repetition work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and longer run on Sundays. In addition, on most Saturdays I will have a race of some sort (In the summer this will be track races, and In the winter this will be cross country). In terms of track racing, I tend to focus on the longer events such as the 1500m, 3km and Steeplechase, but do get around to do most events if only just for fun. Currently, we are at the closing end of track season and I have just run in the victorian champs for steeplechase with success, so I am off to the national championships in Sydney soon.
PROMPT: What extracurricular activities do you do? Why?

Signed up for ATAR notes Lectures for April.

PROMPT: Do you have any fears? If so, what?I have two main fears!
PROMPT: Do you have any fears? If so, what?
^Re: dogs, is that with all dogs, or a particular type mostly?Pretty much all dogs, especially if they're near me and are off-leash 😅
I think my only real fear is being helpless and/or having to depend on other people.Also this. I know I'm 100% dependent right now (speaking more materialistic-wise) but mentally and emotionally I'm really scared of opening up to other people/depending on them for support.
Rats. Give me massive heebie jeebies.My mother had a pet rat. His name was Ralph. But he died because my grandpa fed him 7 Up and he ODed on alcohol
I think my biggest fear has to be death. Like I always wonder when, where and how will I die? Is there an afterlife and do I reincarnate into something else? Or do I just die and that's it. I always joke about 'I'm here for a good time not for a long time' but in reality I only joke about that in order to cover up my fear of dying.Do you find that to be a good motivator to get things done in life, or does it get in the way?

I don't have a favourite type of weather, but I just want consistency.
PROMPT: What's your favourite type of weather? What's your least favourite? Why?Favourite: A nice 20-something degree day where there’s still clouds dotting the sky and you can feel just the right amount of sun on your face. Great for a walk outside to get some fresh air. This seems to happen in early Autumn and in spring. (I don’t favour spring as much though, since hayfever is a thing. Many of the people around me get it and I feel terrible for them. Also, early autumn means you can be blissfully ignorant of the impending flu and cold season.)
PROMPT: What's your favourite type of weather? What's your least favourite? Why?
RUNNING IN THE RAIN - its the best fun! ;D
Do you ever get sick from doing this? 😱😱😱

Like most have already said I think it’d be hard to pick one day in specific that’s my favourite ever, but there’s one memory from late last year in particular that I think I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

I can absolutely imagine you watching this haha.
PROMPT: What were your favourite TV shows growing up? Why?
I was always more into reading books than TV when I was a kid though (probably because we had one crap TV between 6 kids lol).
wait you have 5 siblings !Sometimes it's a good thing haha. Not so fun when my sister decided she didn't want to play our rough games when she was about 12 and it became me (9ish) vs. my brothers who would have been 10 and 11. My older brothers were kind enough to put my little brothers (who would have been about 6 and 4) on my team. I got beaten up a lot lol.
That would be so epic!

PROMPT: What were your favourite TV shows growing up? Why?
The Simpsons... I can remember the summer nights in front of the boxy tv waiting for the (then) boring news to end on Channel 10. And then... the most glorious theme song would play. Honestly, the show taught me some useful things. How to skip school, Darwin's evolution theory, Elon Musk (he is such a mitochondria omg) and how to be a little Lisa Simpson.
Fun fact: I have watched every Simpson's episode to date :D
Omg I watched so much of this. Had totally forgotten about itSpoiler

What's your opinion on the early seasons v. the later ones?
The earlier seasons have more originality and more of an aloof plot. It gives the viewer a supposedly unknown scene and plot to each episode. However, with the new episodes, I find that it reflects moral ideals and issues facing society. The episodes are somewhat predictable in nature but the refinement in the animation really assists in storytelling (i miss those wacky animations you get when you randomly pause on an old episode though...). The new episodes aren't boring as many fans propose and I really hope the series continues well into the future (probs won't though :'(). The Simpsons just require it's silly plot lines again. What're your opinions?

I would disagree that the current episodes reflect current issues/situations more as I think this has always been quite a strength of "The Simpsons" series.

Starting up a Youtube channel! I have this vision of combining my musical endeavours with my education studies where I cover a bunch of cool songs and then do a little song analysis/deconstruction at the end of the videos. I love performing as much as I love musicology so I figured this would be an ideal way to have my own side project, alongside full time study/work. I've just never had time. It's definitely something I want to pursue long term though :D You'll all be the first to know about it ;)
That would be so cool and I'd totally watch it even though I know nothing about musicology. I started up a YouTube channel this week (something I'd been thinking about for a while) and it was surprisingly easy. Would totally recommend and can't wait for an update!
PROMPT: As a rule, what's your favourite day of the week? Why?Probably Friday. I don't have uni on Fridays and at the moment it's the day I have clarinet lessons and band (and get to meet up with a bunch of my friends). In year 12, it was the night I took off studying, and was just the last day before the weekend. :)

For what other films does your statement apply to?
Here are a few random facts (or mini essays, whoops) about me:
- I'm an avid gamer, more specifically RPGs and open-world games. Yes, I'm the self-proclaimed queen of side quests. I will finish EVERY single side quest and level up my characters to its maximum level before finishing the main story. Fun fact: I completed every single contract in The Witcher 3 before completing the main story (plus the two DLCs), and with FFXV I completed ALL side quests before finishing the main story, including those stupid fishing quests (mind you, this is the Royal Edition so extra lore and side quests).
SAMEE FAM I'M A HARDCORE RPG COMPLETIONIST OMGG. My favourite series growing up was the Dragon Quest Series. I will literally do everything. Like finish every side quest, buy every possible equipment, max out every class/skill tree- I just graduated Year 12, and I'm only now remembering how much I missed doing this during junior years ;(Omg nice to see a fellow gamer! Most of my gamer friends are into FPS/PVP but I'm to asocial to play with others lol
Omg nice to see a fellow gamer! Most of my gamer friends are into FPS/PVP but I'm to asocial to play with others lolI felt that omggg. A lot of my friends are gamers too. But I go solo for most of the games I play :D
Any games you're playing at the moment? I recently bought a PS4 (I had an Xbox One before buying a new console yikes) so I've finished Spiderman, God of War 4 and now playing Horizon Zero Dawn.
- I failed my L’s the first time. I just booked my Hazard Perception test and I have a feeling I’ll fail that too.Of all the three test for driving (L's, Hazards, actual drive test) Hazards was probably the only one I wasn't too confident in. Be prepared for the graphics of the test to be super grainy (something like a 1990s video game) so you really need to look close to see if a car in front of you is breaking and also it can be difficult to make out road signs. The biggest mistake people make on this test is thinking that they need to click for every single question. There isn't always a hazard within the video.
- I love staring into the night sky and wondering about the mysteries of the universe.Oh yes I love the sky at night, it is so pretty, I could stare at the stars for hours upon hours
- My all time favourite show is Gravity Falls. My brother and I have been obsessed with it ever since we saw the first episode. We compare ourselves to the characters in the show and surprisingly relate a lot (although I am yet to get a pet pig :/). Also so sad that the show only got two seasons, it deserved so much more :'(
- I'm a huge fan of Rick and Morty, and I love season 4. People are hating on it, as the show creators have only released 5 episodes after a huge break, but every single episode is so detailed and complex that I understand why they took so much time.
- I'm also very passionate about healthcare being accessible to all walks of life. I feel that being raised in a privileged society we have a responsibility to serve those who are struggling and help them reach the level as we are if that makes sense. I hope to work in rural areas as a doctor in the future (at least for a period of time).
That's awesome :) it's great to see someone with similar aspirations to myself, although I do veer towards wanting to provide better healthcare for people, in particular children, with disabilities that serves to their overall health and quality of life, rather than just the ailment they present with. (more specifically again, those with disabilities who are unable to access the healthcare they deserve - whether that's due to money, living rural etc.) You would make an amazing doctor if you do decide that's the path you want to take :)
That's amazing! I veer mostly towards the mental health aspect of medicine (at least right now), which deserves a lot more talk such as breaking down stigma and generally help people live a better life emotionally. I don't know much stuff on it, but I hope to research more about it in the future. It's great that you want to focus on disabilities- it's something I thought about here and there, I hope to delve into it much more in the future, as I have almost no knowledge of it right now ;D. How did you get to this aspiration?
I am probably one of the most contradictory people I know - I love rap music and classical.Why do you think this is contradictory? :)
Why do you think this is contradictory? :)
Haha, it's less that I think they're contradictory, than they tend to be placed in those categories. As you said though, it's happening a lot less nowadays.fair enough... I agree that with casual music listener's and anyone not properly exposed to each "genre" may still hold those sort of views haha
I mean, I love 2016 Golden Era Records Cypher https://youtu.be/alPNKJ3IXxM and also Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, so... :)
(Also, is it just me or would dance of the sugar plum fairy be the perfect music for a horror scene starring giant spiders terrorising people?)
I'm so glad I found Hilltop Hoods - their restrung album had rap to a classically inspired backdrop and they're my staple songs. I think they actually used a choir when they went touring with that album, which would have been amazing live. So, they, like you said, blur the lines between genres.

- Don’t cough in front of paramedics during a pandemic (although it makes for a funny story at least)
I'm intrigued.Suicidal and drunk Morgan coughed in an ambulance because I’d been throwing up and was put in the coronavirus section of the acute ward. It was a very unpleasant and scary night but I find it funny now (and tbf I thought it was a bit of an experience at the time too).

When riding downhill on a motorbike, don't pull the front brake too hardDuh...haha jk, how bad was it?
Duh...haha jk, how bad was it?
Haha, actually not too bad! I didn't even feel anything hit my head, as the helmet was fantastic. I dislocated and fractured my right arm, my right side was purple from bruising for a bit, and I was limping for a few weeks, but that's about it. Other than a few minor scars on my arm and knee, you can't even tell I was an idiot!Haha not too bad then. How long ago was this? Is it still healing?
Haha not too bad then. How long ago was this? Is it still healing?
This was during the long weekend in late January. Thankfully I'm fully healed, which means I'm all set to do it againGreat to hear! This time, when riding uphill, pull the rear break hard to see what happens :P
First book i bought: Skullduggery pleasant books in a local op shop i got like 4 of them for $8Haha came here to say Skulduggery Pleasant also! I don't know if it's the first book I bought, but definitely one of the first that I remember buying.
First book I read: No idea but there are photos/videos of me reading gold spine books when I was 2 or 3
Haha came here to say Skulduggery Pleasant also! I don't know if it's the first book I bought, but definitely one of the first that I remember buying.Its suuuch a good series though, i reread then in the first round of iso and was like huh these books are still good 😂
Its suuuch a good series though, i reread then in the first round of iso and was like huh these books are still good 😂They're so good right!! I got halfway through re-reading the series last year but got sidetracked. Should get back into it soon but I have so many books on my to-read list haha.
I'm not sure what the first book I bought was - I never bought any as a kid except perhaps from book shop vouchers because I had 5 siblings and practically a whole library at home already (I'm not joking, we must have had at least 10 bookcases full + what we had in our bedrooms. Dad built a bookshelf designed to cover one entire wall of a room.)Same! except 7 siblings. We have probably 11 or so now and more when my siblings were all at home! Books. :)

I love Anna Akana and her videos on Youtube.Same!! I get so excited each time I'm notified she's posted a new video!! I haven't read her book but it sounds like it's good from how you've described it, I'll have to read it next year!
There is this one show that all of my siblings used to make jokes about, called ‘Malcolm in the Middle’. Its basically about this poor/middle class American family with four troublemaking brothers who get into a lot of mischievous (but very funny) situations..
There is this one show that all of my siblings used to make jokes about, called ‘Malcolm in the Middle’. Its basically about this poor/middle class American family with four troublemaking brothers who get into a lot of mischievous (but very funny) situations..I definitely know that show. I never watched it on a season to season basis but have randomly watched a heap of the episodes (but this was ages ago ahah).
During semester holidays I found myself binging about 6-8 episodes a day and I absolutely LOVED watching it!!! Its sooo funny and relatable! I really think that show is quite underrated..
I'll go off the categories that you have listed!ahhh exile came 5th on my Spotify wrapped
Albums: folklore and evermore- thank you Taylor Swift for dropping not just one but TWO new albums this year. I still haven't recovered from Lover and all of sudden she drops two new albums. Three of her songs from folklore (august, exile and the 1) were in my top five most played songs on Spotify.
TV Show: I finished watching 'How I Met Your Mother' after starting binging it in November last year. My god. I've probably at least rewatched it at least 4 times by now. I fell in love with the characters, the advice that it shared, the stories that it had and so much more. It such a simple concept that was done so well. After watching the show the first time round, it really did make me consider how the different people I've met, the friendships I've made, the experiences I've been through, etc. has shaped the person that I am today. I can't thank the show enough for this.
TV shows: Young Justice!!! Also so many other good ones ( Emily in Paris, Elite, Babysitter's club, Community, Never Have I Ever). ahh now I'm looking through my viewing history on Netflix and remembering so many good ones I forgot about --> Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Locke and Key, Spinning Out, The Witcher.Yes for community! rewatched it countless times (most recently end of last year iirc).
PROMPT: What are your favourites of 2020?Albums: have I mentioned how much I like Amira Willighagen's three albums (I discovered them free on YouTube a while back). Amira (mostly opera) Merry Christmas (Christmas songs) and With All My Heart (classical crossover I think). (these links ought to work. they're also legal in I think most countries, or at any rate Australia.)
Given it is more of a year-end question this can really be anything.
Some categories I thought of were:
- Albums
- Books
- Movies
- TV shows
- Podcasts
- Poetry
- Food
- Games
- Hobbies
- etc, or anything else you liked in 2020 that you wish you could talk about more!

PROMPT: What are your favourites of 2020?Ironically, it’s been a busy year for me despite the pandemic.

PROMPT: What goals are you hoping to achieve in 2021?In 2021 I'd like to:
The goals can be academic or non-academic (including the areas listed in the previous prompt), and as abstract or as concrete as you like.
For example, in 2021, I’d like to:Spoiler- get more exercise
- learn more things at work
- continue to improve the quality of my work (which I did a lot of in 2020)
- read more books
- continue the same self care that I did in 2020 (Recovery was a big thing, as I had a break up and a family member pass away.)
- reconnect with friends in person, taking into account COVID restrictions
- get better at my foreign languages (particularly both dialects of Chinese that I currently know)
- learn Vietnamese
- organise my sleep regime (I’m better than I was in uni, but still need to increase my hours asleep.)
- make it a habit to have less screen time each day where possible
- cook more
Stand mixer.
With 10 set speeds from fast to interstellar, 4 mix attachments and the fury of the gods, this baby can whip your cream in 0.5 seconds flat and probably detach a limb if you get too close.
I love it.

Why is your favourite colour, your favourite colour

My favourite colour is purple and it has been that for as long as I can remember. I think my closest friend back in the day liked purple, so I decided to copy her :DMine is green! I don't have a real meaning to why but it reminds me of nature, and that's super calming 🥰😂
But anyway, I feel like purple has a lot of personality, but is also kind of unique? I don't really know how to describe it, but purple has a cool personality.
The funny thing is, if I was to choose any colour to decorate my room with or something like that, I'd always go for a light pink, and rarely ever purple, but for some reason its still my favourite colour XD
What about you, insanipi?
