So, as the title indicates, I have a lot of hobbies. I read a lot and currently I'm doing most of reading in German. I just finished The Night Circus (in German) and now I'm going through some books about how logical fallacies that people fall victim to and how to improve yourself. I bounce around a lot between fantasy, sci fi, horror, non-fiction, and whatever interests me. I focus on a subject for while and then switch to something else. I also do a lot of online reading. I'll research something and then move on.

I do write, but my language learning has taken up most of that time. I've published one story and aim to publish another someday. But just don't have the time to focus on writing at the moment. With my weight lifting, languages, and other stuff, it's hard to find time for it. I've accepted I don't have enough time for all of my goals. I tend to write fantasy and horror. My stories tend to be odd and bizarre. One story is about a robot that falls in love, and another is about spoons that comes to life and attacks people. I'm currently working on a story about a group of people that are on a TV show but don't know it.

I also started learning Italian. I was learning Japanese, but I lost interest so now I'm doing Italian. It's a lot of fun!

I make a lot of tea and order it from other countries. I drink greens blacks, oolongs, and whites. At some point I want to try pu'erh, but I'm not sure about storing it. Apparently it needs to be stored differently than other teas. I drink around 16-34 ounces of tea per day. Sometimes I just like sitting there and drinking tea for a little while to relax.

I do work out and try to stay in shape. I was doing a lot of barbell and dumbbell work, but now I am doing bodyweight stuff. I like working out, but I don't let it consume me and it's not my main goal. I just do it to have energy, to stay in shape, and to stay healthy. I also do a lot of walking. I try to walk a few hours a week.

Right now I am learning German. I have achieved a high level and can understand most things I come across. I'm focusing on improving that while I also write more stories. I'm currently entered into the Writers of the Future Contest, so I'm hoping I can at least place in that. If not, I'll keep trying.

So I am looking for someone to just chat with. I'm not looking for flirting or a relationship or anything like that. I just would like someone to talk to. I also like calls. Just to be clear, I am not looking for just text. At some point I'd like to video chat. It's weird not having a "face to face" conversation with someone at some point. Please be good at conversation. I'm not into one word answers.
