I´m a 21 year-old girl from Germany that likes to hide her face behind a piece of paper. Obviously, today is not the 26nd March, but that’s the day I did my first blog post here, so were gonna go with that. Welcome to my #introduceyourself (I´m sorry for the cheaply made Paint picture, don’t expect more from me, though.)
As a student of a bachelor degree course with a complicated name that is best described as management with some language and culture stuff there is a lot of free time that I mostly spend at home like someone without friends and obsess over stupid things like English and German titles on book spines are written in opposite directions ISN’T THAT EXCITING and than I annoy everyone with that. You will be mostly spared, there wont be posts about stuff like this.
My boyfriend introduced me to Steemit, so if, at the end of reading this post, you think you have wasted your time: blame him. I started this blog by posting about books, and while I think this will be the main focus here, there are a lot of other things I have a passion for that might sneak their way into some posts and maybe even videos.
Musical Theatre
Using music to tell stories, be it in a classic or new musical, a opera, operetta or whatever, is something that I thoroughly enjoy. And having lyrics in a song actually have a context and meaning, instead of being just some stuff the writer came up with because there have to be lines, is just great.
Even if I don’t live in an area where I could enjoy that many musicals live (and I wouldn’t have the money for it if I did) I listen to cast recordings practically all the time and watch the existing DVDs (there need to be more of them).
Old Movies
If someone tells me they have seen an old movie I automatically assume they mean something from between the 20´s and 60´s and end up really disappointed if it turns out that they mean something produced in the 90´s or even 2000´s.
In general, I enjoy films from around the 40´s – 60´s most but I´m also open to silent films and of course newer stuff. At the time I´m not watching so many because movie phases and book phases seem to be mutually exclusive with me, whenever I´m reading much I can’t get myself into watching movies that often and vise versa. It´s not even a time thing, I have enough of that. I´m just weird.
Animated Movies
Since my best friend brought me back to watching Disney films (after having to watch them herself with her younger siblings) I really built an appreciation for the positivity and artistic styles that hand drawn and animated movies have to offer. They´re mostly full of colors and songs while story and even sad and darker moments are not neglected.
While I mostly watch the same things I already loved as a child over and over again like in the good old times, I also discovered other masterpieces that I´m glad I didn’t dismiss as “just for children”.
I am also interested to rediscover old TV shows from my childhood, mostly to see if they still hold up for me today. Maybe I could make a project to post about out of that.
Fandoms
I´m not in too many fandoms and not really active in any of them but there are definitely TV shows and other stuff that I spend maybe a little too much time thinking about. I really love all the great fan projects other people create around their favourite things, like songs, films, drawings and questionable fan fiction.
Most of them wont be the focus of anything here, so I´m not going into detail, but my first and strongest of the fandoms is Harry Potter. I marathoned the films more than once and the books are almost the only ones were I don’t shy away from rereading.
Books
I know, I mentioned books earlier but it would be weird not writing about that for at least a little. After just recently really rediscovering my interest in books I have already read more books in the first 4 months of this years than in the last 4 years (or even more) alltogether.
While Science Fiction is the genre I read most of at the time, I also enjoy classics (everything concerning the time roughly between 1700 and 1930 is really interesting for me in general, especially the beautiful clothes), sometimes fantasy and other subgenres with fantastical elements, as well as probably some other stuff that I don’t know how to call .
The End
There is probably some other stuff (maybe even a lot) that I forgot to mention here, but I´m going to leave it with that. If you think I am an interesting person (I would be surprised) feel free to follow me or read my first post. I´m not quite sure if its in a style I want to keep and what exactly I will write about later on, so if you don’t care about it much you might like other stuff in the future. I am happy for any constructive feedback.
I think that’s all so far about me. I hope you enjoyed my post. bye.

I have friends and relatives that won't watch a movie if it's more than a 3 years old. To them, that's an old movie. Meanwhile, I enjoy movies of all eras, including silent films.
I will follow you and do think you are an interesting person LOL Yes I watch the same old films mainly December and Januar (I do not watch television). I also watch all kind of cartoons and animated fims and animé. To be honest I like the old ones, the real drawings most of all. Welcome here!

Nice to meet you. The start it wouldn't be easy, but it isn't impossible. So just write cool stories and everything will be very good. Wish all the best!
I forgot,
So the German Spine goes what direction? The books I buy in America run from the top down generally.
I think it's much easier to read the English titles but that probably also has to do that all of my bookshelfs have a wall to their right so I will be looking at them from the left side
That is pretty interesting, I like finding little bits of local info. I mean how many people even realized that? I did not know it, and I read a lot, but I only know how to read english, and it has been years since I have been in a bookstore. Thank you for the picture, and the information.
I have been reading English books for years and didn'd notice until very recently
Welcome! I'm a sci-fi lover for sure. I particularly like Ray Bradbury. What are your top 3 sci-fi books?
I actually just started a series yesterday called "7 Days to a Better Steemit Blog" that you might find helpful! https://steemit.com/steemit/@stevecronin/7-days-to-a-better-steemit-blog
Hope you have fun here!
Thank you :)
In no particular order:
Dune (I'm not sure anymore if that book or Star Trek got me interested in sci-fi in the first place)
Do androids dream of electric sheep (a.k.a Blade Runner)
both books I liked the film but am glad that they are not that much like it
and I´m not sure if I want to name A long way to a small angry planet, although I love that book because for me it is less about the sci-fi elements and more about interpersonal and kind of emotional and funny stuff, but now I wrote it down so I'm going to stick with it
Hi @dedmops welcome to the Steemit family. Somewhat like you, I like to hide part of my face behind a dollar note. Reading your post, it feels you know how to appreciate the works of the pioneers. Looking forward to more of you. Cheers!
