Hi, I'm new

Hi, I'm Petra from Cologne, Germany. I dabbled with Mastodon and the Fediverse years ago but never really got into it. Let's see if it works this time. I am mainly looking for people who are talking about personal things. I am very politically interested but recently had to cut back on consuming news in order to stay sane (haha, more or less). I love traveling, but have never left Europe (there are still so many interesting places I haven't seen yet), animals, plants (I do a bit of urban gardening on my big balconies), music (Marillion, Dido, Porcupine Tree, Vanessa Carlton and so forth), drawing, paper crafting, photography, art, and lots of other things. It would be really nice to find a few likeminded people to chat with.

Hi Petra,

I live in the US. I am an Artist, Author, Film Maker, Martial Artist, Sartorialist, and Ponderer of strange and wonderful things. I also have limited my interactions with the news for my own sanity.

Hello and welcome.

I also live in Cologne and have been using Mastodon since 2023 (new on friendica).

Apart from (early) Porcupine Tree my music taste seems to be a lot heavier. 😬 But maybe we'll meet at a concert some day and have a few Kölsch. 🤘

Hi Neal, if you mean Fish-era Marillion we're not on the same page, though, I love Hogarth-era Marillion. 😄

My friends and I were way into Fish-era Marillion in high school. When he left (same year we graduated) it was too big a shift for us and we never got into the later stuff. I'm sure it's great though

My best friend was a Fish-Marillion fan, too. She didn't like them with Hogarth.

@Petra hi, Petra! 😁 welcome here.

Have been around this place for 3 years and it's quite cool. Never been into Mastodon either fwiw, although I do have to admit it has an easier onboarding process.

Your interests are quite cool 😁 I also seldomly post some photos around this place and listen to Porcupine Tree.

Hi! There are so many Porcupine Tree fans out there!
I wanted to check out your profile but couldn't, maybe because you're on a different instance? I could look at your timeline, though. I really don't understand friendica. 😵‍💫

@Petra I made my profile unavailable for anyone not logged in to my instance (i.e. anonymous users). Sorry about that 😁 now you can check it. If I turn the option back you'll still be able to see what reaches to your instance from here 😁

Hi! Where in the US are you? Anyway, I'm really sorry about what is happening there right now. Here in Germany and most of Europe many people and political parties move more and more to the right as well, so it seems like the whole world is going mad...
I love watercolours but I'm not good at painting, I mostly draw pencil portraits. I love to use watercolours for backgrounds in cardmaking, though.
