Hello! I’m looking for someone to talk to since I have been very lonely lately and most of my friends I cannot talk to online. If this is the wrong community, sorry, but it’s the best I could find. I can delete this if needed.
Looking for SFW chat, no romance or anything, just someone to talk to. I’m a young adult with a lot of interests. I like coding, history, music, languages, cultures, and I’m interested in learning new things. I’m okay with chatting in comments or in PMs.
I will probably delete this in a few hours or whenever.
For music I like Rammstein, Die Ärzte, and Radio Tapok a lot! I like metal, but also a lot of other styles that I wouldn’t even know how to explain (like whatever Tally Hall is). And thank you!
I’ve also been doing a lot of reading (and trying to do some writing). Currently reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I tried to continue writing the story I was writing yesterday, only to discover that for whatever reason it was just gone from my drive. All that work wasted! 😭
Oh no! ☹️ How frustrating to loose all that work. I’ve been trying to get back into writing myself. I find my mind has adapted to technical writing for my professional life, but creative writing eludes me. I had a LiveJournal back in the day and maybe getting back to something like that might help. What kinds of stories do you like to write?
Which english translation are you reading? I haven’t read Crime and Punishment but it’s on my list.
I become obsessed with OCs that I make and write about them. Usually Cold War espionage stories or something more casual but in a 60s or 70s setting in Europe. I find that that helps with my creativity, when it’s something I really enjoy like characters I’ve made. I never had LiveJournal, though, embarrassing as it is to admit, fanfiction is what got me into creative writing, so that might help as well.
I’m reading the McDuff translation, it’s really good, I recommend that.
