I just put together a Gakkenflex-clone camera and haven't felt so not-smart in my entire life! But it provided a big sense of accomplishment and I get lost in the worlds I see in the viewfinder. I'm trying to learn more about Lomography and photo editing.

Never heard of an Gakkenflex-clone camera before. Does it work properly? I am currently trying to get an agfa isolette V camera to work but I really have no idea how to.

I got the shutter working before I finished assembling it (but am skeptical that it's still working). And, while the film slipped a bit at first, I've got it winding properly now. (You have to manually advance the film after each photo unless you want a double-exposure.) The Isolette looks really cool! Have you tried asking around v/photography to see if you can get a hand with it?

I'm a fencer. I'm not very good at it, but it's social and it keeps me fit :)

Does it hurt at all when you get poked?

Not really, unless it's a flick-shot which can sting a bit sometimes. There's enough protective equipment that you'd very rarely feel any pain.

I started knitting a few months ago. I also play clarinet.

It's an antidepressant

My hobby is pole dance. I started getting into it in March of this year and I absolutely love it! I feel like it's made me much more comfortable with my body.

I do some worldbuilding, some writing and roleplay on and off, I play the saxophone, and reading... which probably isn't that interesting.

What do you mean with worldbuilding? Do you create your own world in that aspect that you're essentially god.

I think saxophone is interesting. What kind of music do you normally play?

I'm not too good at explaining it, but worldbuilding, at least for me, is building a fictional world for many purposes, including stories, movies, etc. I personally don't create my own world in which I am essentially god, though, but I am attempting to form a pantheon of some ancient gods, among other things.

As for the sax, I normally play whatever I have to play for my HS marching band and on my own time I try to find ballads or epics and such.
