I'm secretly a lagomorph disguised as a boring 30-something humanoid. I've got two kids (almost-3 and almost-13) and two spouses (whose ages seem irrelevant). We live in a standard suburban starter home with a giant black walnut tree in the back, and enough room that we were able to plant our own fig tree before it and apple tree out front.
That might seem a strange thing to focus in on, but not for me. Trees are important. Were I a D&D character, I would unquestionably be a forest gnome druid. Literally everyone I've spoken to about it agrees, and they also place my alignment at neutral good. So I've got that going for me I suppose.
My time is usually spent:
+ taking care of my tiny one (and my no-longer-so-tiny one)
+ cooking and baking (feeding people is my primary love language)
+ playing board games (Bunny Kingdom is my favorite)
+ trying to get back into reading-for-pleasure (currently tackling some Mira Grant)
+ playing video games (usually old incarnations of Pokemon)
+ crafting to the best of my abilities (I primarily make earrings)
+ doing schoolwork (I'm a perpetual student)
+ brainstorming fantastic book ideas (that I'll never have the guts to write)
+ playing Dungeons & Dragons (I'm currently active in 4 weekly campaigns)
+ snuggling various furry darlings (I have 3 dogs and 2 cats)
+ watching comedy news shows (fun) or the actual news (less fun, but a necessary evil)
+ drinking any of the 100+ varieties of teas I have collected (because apparently I've got a problem)
+ trying to include my partners in most of these activities (so I can count them as quality time)
As you might have noticed, these endeavors are all of the staying-in variety. That's because, due to disability, I'm usually a homebody. But I do try to go out occasionally; for example, I enjoy hitting yard sales on weekends, and going to the movies on Discount Tuesdays. If I go out shopping it's usually to the craft store, and I generally can't abide by the cost of eating out now that I've finally become a well-rounded cook. (I'm also a vegetarian, and have found that I can create far more interesting meals at home than the bland one or two options provided for me at most restaurants.)
I'm a far-leftist with no tolerance for conservatism. I'm an atheistic pagan who utilizes the goddesses of the Greek pantheon as metaphors for earthly concepts. I'm a queer enby who despises gatekeepers. I'm a high-masking autistic who's working to embrace their stims. I'm a tattoo enthusiast who dislikes the question, "How many tattoos do you have?" because at this point I can only respond in a vague guess at percentage of body covered.
I wonder if this reads like the world's most unintriguing dating profile. I don't suppose there's much I can do about that, as I'm not getting more interesting any time soon. I'm satisfied with my life though. It's simple but it's calm and it's generally happy and that's all I need.
