fifty days of blogging

[threeplusfire]

DAY ONE: introduce yourself / list your likes and dislikes

I go by Anton these days, and have yet to change the name of this blog because I've had it so goddamn long (almost fifteen years) that it breaks my heart a little to think about it. Because my other internet alias is already taken on LJ, alas. That's okay. This is still a quiet place for me, pretty disconnected from my life on other social media platforms which is only good. My heart belongs forever here. I'm currently writing a really weird story about three friends, murder and a lot of unresolved tensions.

I'm a thirty four year old guy who lives in Texas. I'm trans. I have a job that is mostly carrying boxes around and I really like it. I have four tattoos. There's a chunk of gravel embedded in my palm from a bike accident when I was twelve.

Things I like: food, especially sweet things. swimming. robots. wizards. tattoos. Slavic languages and literature. dumplings. tacos. pie. frosting. coffee. the Texas sky. dancing. books. magazines. the smell of cedar trees and mesquite. my hammock. autumn. Tom Hiddleston. Charlize Theron. fanfiction. agonizing sexual tension. barbecue. being cold. the feeling after I get home from the gym. peppermint soap. bats. Squishables. limestone. stories.

Things I dislike: bananas. most cheese. tiny holes. getting ready to go to the gym. kale. people who enjoy being dicks on the internet. those tiny houses everyone on tumblr and pintrest go nuts for.

I must admit to great curiosity about tiny holes - are you talking about holes in clothing, in the ground or other surfaces, or just any small hole anywhere which might conceal something?

and I completely agree wrt the tiny home craze - I look at the pictures of all those spaces and know I couldn't even turn around, much less exist for any length of time; and that's not even thinking about possessions. if I got rid of everything except clothing and personal care items, possibly I could do it (temporarily) but where's the joy in having no books, inherited family furnishings or wallspace for pictures.

I know I never use my LJ for posting anymore, but I still use it as my RSS viewer, and I'm excited by the idea of a daily post from you for the next nearly two months. :)

You've inspired me! Mind if I join you?

Reading over your entries for this 50 days thing is making me miss writing. Your posts are lovely and I miss reading them every day. Shame on me for being lazy.
