We haven't had an MaF in a while, so I thought I'd do one! Classic style - fill out the form before May 5 and on that day I'll assign everyone a group. This time it's in This Month though, because DtE was a little busy.

@Palm, oh cool! I really love The Girl Who Drank The Moon -- I'm glad you do too :D As for the things I like to explore -- well, anything, really! I love exploring forests and other places in nature. I live in a city, so I like exploring urban environments too -- I love seeing all the different people and places. I also really love old cemeteries -- they're so pretty, and it's really cool seeing all the names and dates (some good story ideas there). There's one not far from my house that's from the 1700s! It's a private family cemetery, so I can't go inside, but it's still really cool to look at.
@Lupine, yesss :D The books in the Aurora Cycle by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff are Aurora Rising, Aurora Burning, and Aurora's End.

Alrighty, here ya go! I'm copy and pasting this from Word, which I've never copy-pasted stuff from before, so we'll see how this goes! Fingers crossed I don't get the wEiRd format that copy-pasting stuff into CB sometimes results in...
Ya know, having the chat threads in This Month is brilliant--I was actually going to suggest it but never got around to it. It'll bring more traffic to TM and free up space in DtE for even mOrE public threads.
Name: Scuttles.
Pronouns: I'm Genderfluid. You can just use they/them for me!
Likes: Snakes, computers, ice cream, books, video games, computer programming, Solidworks (it's a CAD--Computer-Aided Design--software used for creating 3D models. Fun fact: Solidworks is the industry standard CAD platform for engineering), sleeping, making art, rock climbing, everyone on CB.
Dislikes: Waking up early, going to bed early, writing essays.
Hobbies: Programming, 3D modeling, reading, biking, rock climbing, ceramics (I love hand building with clay. Recently I made a chicken head figurine, maybe I'll post a photo on the Art Posting thread once it's done. The wheel is good too, but I like hand building more), sleeping.
Favorite book(s): Sunbearer Trials (Aiden Thomas), Battle Dragons series (Alex London), Skyward series (Brandon Sanderson), Lock-Eater (Zack Loran Clark), The Rithmatist (Brandon Sanderson), Throne of Glass series (Sarah J Maas), Wings of Fire series (Tui T Sutherland), Five Kingdoms series (Brandon Mull), Game Over (M C Ross), Fireborn (Aisling Fowler), Nevermoor series (Jessica Townsend), and SO MANY MORE that I can’t list them all here.
Taste in music: I like AJR, Imagine Dragons, Alec Benjamin, Walk Off the Earth, the Hamilton soundtrack, Little Mix, and probably a bunch of others that of course I can’t remember right now.
Other: Nothing I can think of at the moment, but I’ll probably think of something else later.

Alec Benjamin is a MUSICAL GENIUS!!!!

Ahhhhh nearly in time for the grouping!
I really need to check TM every once in a while.
Name: Zealatom (Zeal is accepted!)
Pronouns: He/him
Likes: Books (fantasy and other genres in general), writing stories, character creating and worldbuilding, hiking (a bit), free time to do whatever I want without someone staring over my shoulder, nature and it's wonders, fluff, cats, furries, the intriguing diffrence between world cultures and languages, and other random things.
Dislikes: Not having free time. Or not having personal space. And loud parties. Definetly not loud parties. And creepy crawlies, but snakes are fine. (I used to want to have a corn snake as a pet, by the way.), usless hate flying around the internet, and TikTok.
Hobbies: Writing, or at least practicing writing (heh), Hiking (I guess?), listening to music, origami... And that's all. My life is so boring RIP.
Favorite book(s): Gosh, I've been so occupied that I haven't even gotten to read books lately. Lemme take a few favorites... Warriors, The Ocean At The End Of The Lane, Good Omens, The Graveyard Book, Fahrenheit 451, The October Country, The Phantom Tollbooth, A Street Cat Named Bob, The Girl Who Drank The Moon, Maze Runner, The Golden Compass, The Gay Genius: The Life and Times of Su Tungpo (A personal treasure, this book. I should have put it up at the top now that I look at it, oof. AND READ IT.[Nah, just kidding. You don't have to.])
Aaaand I'll just drop off here in case I keep pouring my mind out...
Taste in music (n/a if you're not into music): Uhhh... Throw whatever you have at me, I'll see whether I like or not. My taste for music has been constantly whizzing back and forth between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres like a haywire satelite.
Other: I know zero TV shows apart from The Good Doctor, sorry. I have no televison at home, or Netflix.

Guys I'm sorry but is it okay if I do groups on May 6 instead? I messed up the dates and meant to do it on Saturday but I accidentally did it on a Friday. I'm worried I won't have time on Friday, so is it okay if I switch it to Saturday?
(May 2, 2023 - 2:29 pm)
@Peri, sure, that's fine with me! :)
@Zealatom, whee, you don't have a TV?! Neither do I :))))
(May 2, 2023 - 3:19 pm)
Cool! My parents sold the TV exactly one day after I was born, so yeah. TVless since birth XD
(May 2, 2023 - 10:17 pm)
Wow, that's so nice! My grandparents have a TV, so I watch soccer games when I visit them, but other than that no TV :)
<etoaf> Fifa! You surely don't mean to say that you ate (et) Olaf?????
