I wasn't at @btconf this year but I'm still gonna make my “things I'm a dork about” list:

- music
- more specifically: hardcore, melodic hardcore, emo, indie
- going to concerts and somehow making friends with the musicians (enough so that they invite me to their weddings and/or become my wedding witness)
- NASA, space, the Hubble telescope
- CSS, HTML, & shitty web design from the early 00s
- books, all the books, but specifically non-male authors
- tea (not in a teabag please)

[continued]

- knitting
- more specifically: sock knitting
- making zines & drawing comics
- ceramics (porcelain) & glazing
- baking
- running an experimental music venue in a basement (oh wait this is about music again, isn't it)
- somehow running a semi-successful music blog (here we go again), enough so that labels still send me demos 15 years later
- dog training
- Taekwondo
- languages / growing up bilingual / raising bilingual kids
- Ghost World (the movie)
- analog photography
- origami

@alicetragedy that's so much! I love your attitude of doing things you love. I hope more people get the opportunity to pursue what they love!
