i am new! i remember seeing this site way back in my youth, but i was too obsessed with neopets at the time to give it much attention. ^^;; and then gaia got me after neopets... and then adult life happened... and now i'm here in my thirties and really enjoying it so far! <3 the art is really cute, and love exploring the different areas and such.

anyway. hello! i'm faeraphim, i'm currently going back to school studying fine arts-i have no idea what i'm going to do with that but i'm pretty positive it'll beat working in the call center for insurance billing, lol. i love drawing, painting, mixed media. super obsessed with book binding right now-i've ordered all the stuff but am still scared to try xD;;

i love fantasy, fairytales, roleplaying, etc. some favorite authors are robin mckinley, olivia atwater, km shea, lm montgomery, sherwood smith. i love listening to music too, but again, adulting got in the way and i feel like i'm having to rediscover it. some bands i've liked but haven't really kept up with and am now coming back to are lauren bousfield, nightwish, emilie autumn, frou frou, epica, sj tucker. i've also recently discovered hemlocke springs and really am enjoying her!

anyway. that's me. -^^- i could go on but figure that's enough to maybe make some friends? hello!

Welcome! Your HA looks super cute! I don't read much, but book binding looks like a lot of fun. I do needle felting and started learning cross stitch. I spend most of my free time playing games and watching people play games lol

ahhhh needle felting is on my list of hobbies to acquire! and i need to get back into cross stitch-i used to be super into it back in college. my friend has been bugging me to join a crosstitch discord he's on and maybe i should just do it-i mean, i'm pretty sure i still have the supplies in my craft stash...

and ahhh what games do you play/enjoy watching? i've been super addicted to genshin impact, but normally i'm in the cozy gaming territory with like sun haven, stardew, animal crossing, wylde flowers(reallllyyyyy recommend this one-it's like farming sim, but with really good plot and dialogue and it's super witchy), a little to the left(organizing/puzzle game?), etc. been eyeing homestead arcana but cries in mac. i also used to be addicted to otome games, like cinderella phenomenon and a plethora of the "shall we date?" mobile games. xD;; oh! and point and click adventures, like monkey island & junk. lol, apparently i am a gamer after all. xD
