I'm a disabled neurodivergent NEET who has been happily married since 2011. ![korilakkuma with a heart](/img/koriheart.gif) I'm a multilingual audodidact, and one of my goals in life is to be able to say something in every language. Languages I have some proficiency in are English (native speaker), Japanese (self-taught), and German (studied in secondary school). I have some limited vocabulary and can construct basic sentences in Spanish and Korean and can say a few words in Italian, Russian, French, Mandarin, and Brazilian Portuguese. I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, ehlers-danlos syndrome, complex ptsd, and misophonia. Before these disabilities prevented me from working, I worked in food service for ~10 yrs. ### statistics πŸ‘ **also known as**: momo, makky, pulilith, pinky, hitsuji πŸ‘ **been with my partner since**: 2009.01.01 πŸ‘ **age**: millenial / 30's πŸ‘ **mbti**: [infj](https://www.16personalities.com/infj-personality) πŸ‘ **zodiac**: leo β˜€, pisces πŸŒ™, aquarius ‴ πŸ‘ **timezone**: UTC-6 (most of the year) / UTC-5 ([dst](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time)) ### favorites πŸ’• **animal**: [two-toed sloth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffmann%27s_two-toed_sloth) πŸ’• **sanrio character**: [little twin stars](https://www.sanrio.co.jp/characters/kikilala/) πŸ’• **san-x character**: [sumikko gurashi](https://www.san-x.jp/characters/sumikko.html) (tokage) πŸ’• **flower**: [lycoris radiata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoris_radiata) πŸ’• **food**: [tiramisu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiramisu) πŸ’• **coffee drink**: espresso con panna or iced latte with oatmilk & honey πŸ’• **boba tea**: sakura rose milk tea πŸ’• **thing to cook**: pasta πŸ’• **thing to bake**: cookies πŸ’• **fashion aesthetic**: [softgirl](https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Softie#Softgirl) & [yume kawaii](https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Yume_Kawaii) πŸ’• **song**: [ζ·‹γ—γ„η†±εΈ―ι­š](https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=iBDnRK9ACTY) (sabishii nettaigyo) by [Wink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wink_(duo)) πŸ’• **film**: [karigurashi no arrietty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrietty) πŸ’• **tv show**: [twin peaks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Peaks) πŸ’• **video game**: [mother 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EarthBound) πŸ’• **anime**: [sailor moon superS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor_Moon_SuperS) πŸ’• **anime genre**: [iyashikei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyashikei), [slice-of-life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_slice_of_life_anime), [mahou shoujo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_girl) πŸ’• **manga**: [watashi ga motenai no wa dou kangaete mo omaera ga warui!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Matter_How_I_Look_at_It,_It%27s_You_Guys%27_Fault_I%27m_Not_Popular!) πŸ’• **manga genre**: [josei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josei_manga), [seinen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seinen_manga), [4koma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonkoma) πŸ’• **book**: [1Q84](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1Q84) by haruki murakami πŸ’• **genre**: [yuri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_(genre)), [cosmic horror](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovecraftian_horror), [cyberpunk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk), [psychological thriller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_thriller), [LN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_novel) ### hobbies & interests DIY (cooking, crochet, sewing, jewelrymaking, needlepoint), japanese idols, coding/web design, blogging, modding games, customizing/decorating (with stickers, washi tape, etc.), journaling & planners, singing, kpop, gardening, doodling, video games (animal crossing, harvest moon, stardew valley, jrpgs, and VNs are some favorites), spending time with the homies ### likes cute things, sanrio (little twin stars, my melody, my sweet piano), san-x (sumikko gurashi [tokage, ebifurai no shippo], korilakkuma, tare panda), plushies, flowers, coffee, tea, floral flavors, nice people, open-minded people, teas & tisanes, soft & soothing music, naps, animals (sloths, fruit bats, pandas, lesser pandas, sheep, and frogs especially), sweets (tiramisu, crΓ¨me caramel), pastries (croissant, pain au chocolat, cornets), fountain pens, pastels, tattooing, skincare & makeup, old web ### dislikes awful people (nazis, racists, ableists, homophobes, terfs, swerfs, maps, etc.), crowded places, bugs (especially arachnids), hospitals, insomnia, my parents, tiktok, capitalism, nfts/crypto bullshit/web 3.0 ### codes -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GCS/FA d--- s-:+ a C++ UL P L+ E?
