I run. I am a tax accountant. I love sci-fi movies. I am not into horror movies.  I like movies like The Matrix. I haven't seen any new movies lately. I can't wait to see the new Cruella movie with Emma Stone. I saw the trailer for it. I did not like the Doom movie. I play FPS games. I love chinese food.
I prefer napping to running. I work for parks and recreations mostly in the office doing paperwork. I have 2 kids. My kids are 10 and 16. I paint to relax. I love horror movies.  My favorite movie is likely Nightmare on Elm Street. I think The Matrix is great.  I don't think the second Matrix was so great. I love re-watching favorite movies and seeing new director's cuts. I saw the trailer for the new Cruella movie. I found the new Mortal Kombat movie a little disappointing. I loved the most recent Doom game. I play FPS games. I have kids who are going to a day camp. I like most foods but like chinese. my kids go to Camp Energy. they get to do archery and horseback riding. they've gone for 3 years. Both my husband annd I  work in the government. we both work for the parks and rec department. My kids volunteer at a stables and in return they can ride the horses there. We don't have a horse. My younger daughter is good at archery but not very interested in it. I have a cousin with kids.
What sorts of subjects do you like to paint? I mostly do things that are colorful and interest me.  I like taking photos of flowers, for instance, and trying to replicate them with brighter color palettes. Do you do anything artsy in your time off? Mostly movie watching and FPS games. I've been really into Destiny 2 lately, have you ever played it? I used to ride horses as a kid. I wish I still could!   I'll be honest I haven't played in a couple of weeks.  Been too busy at work. Destiny was one of those series I always wanted to try but never got to. I have played some of the Call of Duty franchise though. I honestly prefer getting out with the kids on the horses these days, though. There's something really grounding about being out in nature, you know? Oh, absolutely. My town is a college town but is near a lot of nature preserves, lakes, state parks etc and I love getting out there. I've done some fishing lately too although I haven't caught anything. It's still really cool just being out and listening to the sounds. Oh yes, one of the benefits of working for Parks & Rec is knowing all of the best secret little watering holes for fishing. My husband and I sometimes go out there for "date afternoons."  We both fish, but I'm a little easily distracted so I take a book along as well sometimes. I've tried to read but I always get distracted by things like birds. There's a feeder outside my window and I've manaaged to identify some of the birds that feed there. I have less luck identifying the ones at the lake, though. I am TERRIBLE at identifying anything unless I've seen it a million times.  I definitely have gotten distracted listening to certain birdsongs, though. Some of them are just so unique! Do you ever listen for specific bird calls? Sometimes. The only ones I'm sure on are house finches and blue jays. Can't mistake a blue jay for anything else! There is a song sparrow that shows up too. He has quite the repertoire! There is this one bird call that gets my attention every time, but I have yet to figure out what it is!  It's like this very cool sequence of four notes.  I've tried figuring them out on the piano but I never see the bird that makes them! Hmm. See if wrens come to your area maybe? They have a nice short little song but of course just in text it's hard to tell what it could be. There should be an app that lets you play a birdsong (or its notes on the piano) and identifies it from there. Ooh, I will definitely have to try that out! I hadn't even thought of finding an app or something like that. Do you have any recommendations?
