In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Hmmm. Not much to say, really. I love to run (as long as my ankle doesn't act up). I'm not an accomplished marathoner like the lady I'm living with, but I do like it. It makes my mind go blank, which has been welcome especially over the past two years.
Knitting. With regards to fandom: I came into knitting by way of Harry Potter.
I wanted a Harry Potter scarf, and couldn't find one in the colours I wanted (not everyone is a bleedin' Gryffindor or Slytherin). So I found myself on a tram once seeing a woman knitting a scarf back in 2004, and that sparked off my knitting jones. I've been knitting on and off ever since. As much as my heart beats for a good cable and fairisle pattern, I'm really a stocking stitch wearer, soooo. I had to leave my yarn behind for a lot of reasons (I could only carry things that fit in ONE suitcase). But I like knitting, the rhythmic action of yarn and needle, the slinky drag of yarn as it moves through your fingers (I love a good Malabrigo sock yarn).
Train rides are also another favourite. I love the rocking of the carriage around me, the murmur of people having conversations amongst themselves. The time that is actually mine. So I might have a book to hand, or just look out the window, seeing the rolling bits of country side that you can't get via car or plane. I don't even go on social media at this time, because I like train rides that much.
Stationery. Give me a lovely quadrilled book, smooth writing pens and I'm in heaven. As much as I can write stories on my laptop in a tight time line, there's nothing like a bright ink against lightly quadrilled paper (because I don't like lined paper). I love stationery, to the point that I keep a bujo and buy notebooks despite the fact that I also have wunderlist and a smart phone.
That's about it, really.

Re: Yeah, I'm not in HP anymore
Date: 2019-01-02 02:24 am (UTC)Agreed on the current writing, and I have some issues with the way the books were written... but the universe itself is still a wonderful, beautiful one I still occasionally dip into. :)
