Hello, fellow Steemians!
Here I come to you from depths of The Internets to become a better person. I believe that by writing here in consistent way I win my final battle with procrastination and start to work in consistent way as well. With your help, naturally.
But who dares to say such things, you ask. Allow me to introduce myself:
That's me behind a snare drum.
Fig 1. Big drum. Small me.
I do animations
It's fun making things impossible possible. Take a look at this Christmas hedgehog:
Fig 2. Christmas tree candy-eater.
I make soap on my own!
Hey, have you ever thought about making your own soap? I'm quite a fan of some rather uncommon soap aromas that I bet you can't get in your store. Here are couple examples of stuff that I made.
Fig 3, 4. Homemade soaps with pepper mint, barley, bee wax, coco-oil, olive oil & green tea.
I play tabletop role playing games
For those who haven't ever heard about that, it's kinda like a kids game in pretending: we gather together around a big table, everyone creates his/her own character (just like in ordinary computer games) and declares what character does in some (usually fantasy) setting that is being described on live by a guy called the game master. D'oh, that was a hella long sentence. So basically this is something in between of telling each other improvised stories and acting.
I play for quite some time now, mostly in MYFAROG, Call Of Cthulhu and Neuroshima. For example, I remember one hilarious scene from MYFAROG when we were suddenly attacked by forest spiders and one of ours managed (by some kind of miracle, I guess) to convince them to join our side and attack an evil sorcerer that send them to attack us in the first place. But you know, spiders are rather vicious creatures, whole thing was ridiculously tricky and we all thought back then that we gonna be totally eaten. And then comes part when he rolled his dices and got three 6 – critical success, the maximal possible score. Yeah, friendship is magic! :D
Fig 5. Choose your weapon.
I shoot photos and make movies
Frankly, I don't take this hobby seriously by any mean. It seems to me thats it's just some historical impulse to store moments of my life to posterity. For that reason I also write a diary. I think I got into this kind of stuff when I was trying to make my genealogy tree as complete as I could. Back then I had ran into some blank spots – I literally couldn't find anything about certain of my ancestors, they left nothing about themselves.
Moreover, some photos turn out to be quite pretty, by chance.
Fig 6, 7, 8, 9. Photos I made in the autumn.
Fig 10. …and a random cat photo for a good ending.
That's about it for now. See you next time, bye!
Those are some great photos and animations! Welcome, @alpena, you sound like a really interesting person <3 Very creative :D Can't wait to see more of your work on the blockchain!
Thank you! :)
I’ll do my best not to disappoint you :)

STOPDo not miss the last post from @steemitboard:
Welcome to Steemit! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! I explain this initiative on one of my previous post.
There are a number of great content creators on the platform to help you on your journey. I have recently ran into a great post by @roleerob that is great to get off to a great start here on the ecosystem. As I continue to expand this initiative, I continue to find great content and guides for new users such as this post from @finnian who not only includes a great step-by-step process of registering for #Steemit but also provides great security and engagement tips as well to help you on your journey. Another great user creating content for new Steemians is @paulag who is creating community backed video series on learning to navigate STEEM.
Keep your eyes out for these tips and references to help you on your journey to becoming a minnow! It is also a great idea to follow some of the great projects being built on the #STEEM blockchain. You can see these projects here. Some of these projects provide you the ability to interact and engage within the community and have the potential to provide rewards for your engagement. For example, @actifit is a fitness app that tracks your daily activity which you can post to the blockchain and earn rewards for your participation. Another interesting project is @steemmonsters which is a digital trading card game that enables you to collect and battle with the community all within the #STEEM ecosystem.
Lastly, a new initiative has just been launched by one of our top witnesses @gtg to support new users that become very active and need additional bandwidth to remain actively engaged in an effort to build enough Steem Power to grow your influence and interaction in the ecosystem. I would highly encourage you to visit his post for further instructions. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!
WOW!
What a skill you have there!!!!! These animations are just awesome :) And the fact you make them into gifs is even cooler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made my own soap one time, and it came out ok considering I had minimal equipment (a gas cooker , a wooden spoon , and a pot) it came out ok :) Oh yeh thats right, but I didn't know you have to leave it for 2 weeks after making it, I burnt my face - but I was super clean from it hahahahahah :)
Thank you! :)
Oh, poor you. I hope that didn't discourage you from soap business :) At the first time I left my soaps for more than a month to be completely sure that they won't hurt me. It was so hard to curb the curiosity! Little by little I was shortening that waiting time and now it's up to two weeks to use soap. None of them burnt my skin, so far.
At the time I was in spain, and had no money but I did have many liters of olive oil, so I made soap after finding a book on it in a deserted and trashed caravan and was trading it for other things from people! I then also found a book on how to make various wines and around me was alot of fruit trees :) It was easier to swap the wine (which turned out as some kind of cider) than the soap, the hippys around wernt much interested in using soap hahahahahah
That soap looks like a cheese! Yummy! Ehm probably it's because it's time to have dinner here 😅 Welcome to steemit, be curious and have fun!
Hello :)
My brother told me the same, he even tried to eat one.
Btw you played the Call of Cthulhu wow! We host a fiction contest and one of our core members is an rpg author.. why don't you join our family of strange bananafishious creatures? Looking forward to welcome you (this is our discord server: discord.gg/ZWmEUWT). Ftaghn!
