Study, work, ice skate, play with my dog and bird, go for random drives, climb mountains, play video games, collect sounds... Sometimes I make brickfilms. That's probably it because I can't play any instruments other than the flute. And that's just sad.  

I really like hanging out with friends, watching Star Wars (I am a BIG Star Wars fan, can’t wait for Solo: A Star Wars Story coming out this Memorial Day), playing video games, occasionally pulling pranks on my sister, and (of course) playing with LEGOs.

I would say "VIDEO GAAAMES!" But that's not really a hobby since almost everyone plays those.


The more interesting answer is: Building Gundam models!


So far I have the Schwarzritter, Star Burning, and Astray Blue Frame Second L. All of them high grade as opposed to Master or Real Grade, assuming you don't know what that means, it basically has to do with the build difficulty, level of intricacy/detail, and source-material accuracy.

I am currently expecting 3 more, all of which will arrive by mid April: the Transient, Ninpulse, and Exia Dark Matter. All of them also high grade because 1: none but the last of these have a master version. 2. High grade already pushes the limits of what I'm capable of handling. 3. Master grades come in a larger scale than high grades (1/100th as opposed to 1/144th) and I don't want to devalue the models I've already bought and worked hard on.

For those intimidated with mech models -- you should be. These things have some of the TINIEST stickers you could EVER imagine, and the models themselves can be pretty delicate and can have some pretty small parts. To put this into perspective, some of the pieces can be smaller than LEGO studs! ._.

There are also what are known as "polycap" parts, which are made of an especially soft plastic that can actually be crushed if too much pressure is applied.

To make matters worse, each individual piece is molded to be pre-attached onto what is known as a "runner", a tray of sorts where pieces of (usually) identical color are arranged. What this means is that you have to cut each individual piece out from the various runners with a pair of nippers, which leaves behind noticeable marks on the pieces themselves. Not to mention you run the risk of damaging or chipping the parts while actually trying to get the parts out of the runner (let alone trying to go at them with an exact-0 sword to get the nubs on (see what I did there?))

On the bright side, however, once you get the hang of it: each build becomes a fun, satisfying challenge to tackle. Even better is the fact that the franchise has lasted for over a decade without being inexplicably abandoned by its creators, and it's still going strong

I like the Firestrike. It's light is perfect for shining in you opponent's eyes while your trying to reload!  

To me it looks like Ruby, te original.

Me personally I've never let anyone borrow anything I own, unless we were going to play with said object on the spot and then have it returned right after.
