User:PastelBlackbird

Hi there!

This is my Wikipedia userpage. I started it for a university translation class.

I like singing songs, eating ice cream and watching the birds on my balcony (especially blackbirds). A few weeks ago, I put some bird food there. Now I can watch them take the food every day!

All time favorites

Here I will list some of my all time favorite things.

• All About Love: New Visions by author bell hooks is a book that really changed the way I look at life. It's truly a wonderful book for anyone interested in the topic of love.
• Older music. I will always be jamming to classic rock and soft rock.
• Chocolate ice cream. Doesn't need an explanation.
• Ducks! I think they're the cutest. Make sure not to feed them bread as it has almost no nutritional value to them. Instead, try feeding them grapes, peas or corn.
• My favorite visual artist has to be Claude Monet. His art, especially his water lilies are stunning.

• The video games Stardew Valley and the Animal Crossing series are also fantastic.

Guilty pleasures

I am a huge fan of musical theater and strongly believe that most movies would automatically be more enjoyable if the characters started singing. This makes it clear why one of my comfort movies has to be Mamma Mia! and the sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

I also unironically enjoy the absolute trainwreck of a show that was Glee.

Personality related stuff

Not 100% sure about astrology but I still calculated my birth chart. I'm a cancer sun, aries moon and cancer rising!

I am definitely an introvert. I don't see this as a weakness.
