Additional Information (about me)

I've got a few hobbies that show off different sides of what I like. I really enjoy playing Warhammer because it's fun and strategic, plus the little figures are cool. Gaming, in general, is more than just something to do—it's a way to get into different worlds, think strategically, and have some friendly competition.
I'm all about pop culture, too. Whether I'm keeping up with what's new or going back to old favourites, it's like my creative playground. It inspires me and adds a cool layer to how I see things.
And then there's my love for animals. It's not just a thing I'm into; it's a real passion. Whether I'm hanging out with pets or learning about wildlife, it shows my caring and nurturing side. The connection with animals isn't just a hobby; it's a source of happiness and a way to feel connected.
So, my hobbies aren't just things I do—they're like threads that come together to make a colourful picture of someone who appreciates strategy, creativity, culture, and the beauty of animals.
