Introduction Thread: Getting to Know You!

hi, everyone! what a great idea! :)

  • name: enbee (preferably, because of the pun) or mara (boring, because real name)
  • pronouns: they/them
    (or other neural ones should be fine, too, but i find that’s always a subjective thing, too—for example, i find “fae” sounds rather feminine. long story short, any neopronoun is okay, but they/them is best/safest)
  • beeminder gallery: click link
  • favourite goal: i don’t want to feel bad right now, so i’ll say gmuns, which hasn’t derailed once yet!
    it’s keeping my unread emails in check (mostly). [it actually works wonderfully for actual unread emails in my inbox, it just lets me open a lot of emails on my thunderbird tab which i plan to get back to eventually but neglect most of the time … yes, i need another goal for this :p]
  • what i use beeminder for: various things! work-related, uni-related, leisure-related, health-related (steps, fruits, veggies, flossing, …)
    i use it for pretty much everything so far, but haven’t figured out my ideal balance / goal types yet (does one ever? ;)
  • hobbies and interests: languages (japanese and korean, currently), movies/series, game nights with friends, ttrpgs, (book) design, writing lettersemails to my future self (not affiliated with futureme.org, just a big fan), rambling a lot, gratitude journaling, …
    (okay, that last one especially is more a daily routine rather than hobby-hobby, but i’m proud of myself for sticking with it for over a year already without missing a day. i’m kind of hogging the thread currently.)

if you’re active in the forum you’ll probably come across me, if only because i liked your post. :sweat_smile: (i like 99% of posts i read, and i think i might only have one thread muted?—liking is, among other things, a great way for my forgetful brain to see if i already read something!)
