i picked up the practice of keeping a commonplace book in my freshman year of university, though i have been on and off keeping books throughout my entire life. my memory isn't what i'd like it to be due to chronic migraine, sleep issues, complex ptsd, and severe depression, so writing things out can often help me keep track of pieces of my life that i wouldn't otherwise remember. i struggle with dissociation and losing time, so writing things out helps sometimes- it at least tells me what i was feeling/doing/whatever at a given time, which is fine.
i'll make an actual index soon! 
here's a list of my interests (what to expect a lot of writing about lol):
fear and hunger - downloaded the first game in april of 2024 and have been in intense special interest hell ever since. my sibling and i (mainly them) played both games several times over the summer, so its super special to me.
the horror genre as a whole - my favourite movies are hereditary, the ritual, hellraiser [all iterations, the original is so campy and fun UWGH], midsommar, IT (the 2017 and 2019 films and the original book!) longlegs [i know it was bad but it was so fun to see in theatres so i don't care], the scream series, and the original dracula. i'm currently watching iwtv because i love vampires sooo much lol.
my favourite tv shows are: house md, breaking bad & better call saul, barry, criminal minds, and law and order svu - 
i'm also just generally a reader; i try to read at least 35 books per year, though the number isn't too important to me as long as i'm actively engaging in something and keeping my attention span alive 
i'm going to try to archive articles/research papers i find here too as a means of saving them and keeping them on hand. i'm particularly interested in biomedical engineering, neurodegenerative disease/degenerative disease as a whole, and genetics.
thanks for stopping by :)

Regardless, a very interesting read.
