my mother taught me knitting and crochet and drawing and painting, my father taught me electronics and computers.
i lean a bit more towards science but i do a bit of art now and then. probably my favourite form of art is typography, and then writing, i love me a good polemic
oh, my father also introduced me to chemistry and physics. haha... i can't really say which of the sciences i like more, i'm just better at CS than anything else.
funny, my mom also taught me how to crotchet. i crotchet'd a little oval rug for the cat. you could switch out yarn colors halfway through to make concentric patterns.
i don't care much for painting or drawing. i always liked making boats, planes that actually float or fly. there's an element of randomness to where they end up.
the neighbor gave me their old hummingbird feeder and that started a years-long fascination with hummingbirds. i would read a book beside the feeder. the hummingbirds prob just thought i was crazy
hummingbirds are awesome. i'm a big fan of birds in general... i love crows and rooks and jackdaws and magpies, and then i discovered blackbirds, and now here in madeira there is thousands of canaries as well as the blackbirds singing up a storm on and off throughout the day, the blackbirds are the best tho, second after the roosters and the most varied songs all through the day... so i guess probably mainly i like talkative birds. jackdaws especially i love the sound of a flock of them flying past, and when they sit on the edge of a wall and "caw caw caw" flexing their wings.
i could never get tired of listening to the sounds of birds. this is also one reason why i can't ever live in a city again, with the traffic and construction noises drowning out their songs.
