"In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so."
This is my first year participating in this challenge and I am extremely nervous. I don't like talking about myself honestly and typing it is even worse because I can so easily delete everything and just not post... but I am determined!
I am 34 and still living with my parents, which is frustrating but a culture thing so yeah, in Cape Town, South Africa. I run the office of a small business and am bored most hours of the work day - when I first started I thought it'd be perfect because then I could write! Sadly, that has not happened OTL
I spend my time rewatching series & movies (I find it very difficult to watch new things because of anxiety), rereading favourite books (same reason as before), playing video games (I bought myself an Xbox One in my first year of this job), occasionally socialising with my family (I don't have many friends because I'm socially awkward, it's why I've lurked for so many years in fandom) AND reading fanfic of course (I read on my phone all the time - on the bus to & from work, @ work, in bed @ night, on bed over weekend, sneakily in the corner of a family gathering, you get the picture). Oh! I write too but that's a complicated story which forms part of my fannish history I suppose.
- I love all animals but absolutely adore corgis and cats of all sizes ♥ except I cannot have any pets - sister has allergies & parents said no :C
- I've always wanted to go to space. To be more specific; I want to stand on the Moon and gaze at Earth.
- I have a weakness for doughnuts and space ships (I feel like there should be more here but I'm drawing a blank)
- I absolutely believe in: "Live & let live" and "You snooze, you lose". The first is so important in this global community we live in, and the second is mostly in our house/family when it comes to food :D
- I post my fic to AO3, I have an LJ & DW that I hardly ever use, I deleted my tumblr because I spent too much time on it when I was supposed to be studying (Is it possible to reactivate it?), and I have a fanfiction.net account I'm embarrassed by and am thinking of sharing when I do the next challenge, we'll see...
To sum up: I'm an introvert who spends too much time in other worlds because it's more exciting.
Ask me anything; I will attempt to answer without pondering too long and retyping too many times.
I'm going to stop fretting about this and just post it because it is home time! ^_^

Haha, I can relate.
Friends of mine have corgis, they're adorable.

This made me chuckle.
