A proper introduction
Hi, my name is Nami. I'm a 21-year-old Indonesian who really likes to write, and I'm here to...well...write. I'm not that much of a fiction writer, but I'm big on diary entries and academic-ish essays, so expect those in my blog. I used to be more active here on Tumblr back when I was younger (come to think about it, it was a long long time ago), now I'm only getting back to using it and since I barely know anyone now, I hope I can meet someone here.
Since it's probably not wise to share personal information here on the internet, here's some irrelevant facts about myself:
According to personality tests, I'm an INTP and a Hufflepuff.
She/her pronouns please.
I used to be really into politics, and I ended up choosing political science as my major. I'm currently in my final year and now I'm sick of politics.
Deep down I'm still a regular stereotypical progressive polsci student; a staunch anti-capitalist wanting to decolonize academia, but right now I'm just fucking tired.
Like, tired tired, I wish to graduate real soon.
I can play the guitar and sing quite well.
But I can't do any sports. Like nothing.
If you can't tell by now, I really like making lists.
If my memory serves right, most people on Tumblr bond upon same interests, so here are some things I like
Music; I'm a self-proclaimed music nerd, so I listen to everything, but I'm particularly big on folk music. Here are some favorites that I can think of right now:
Essentials: The Beatles (fav album: Abbey Road); Queen (fav albums: ADATR and ANATO); The Beach Boys (fav album: Pet Sounds); Joan Baez, Bob Dylan.
Edgy New York apartment vibe musicians: Ben Folds (fav album: So There); Regina Spektor (fav albums: Far, Soviet Kitsch); Fiona Apple (fav album: Fetch the Bolt Cutters), Vampire Weekend, Japanese Breakfast.
Classical: Erik Satie, Claude Debussy.
Music that pretentious indie lesbians listen to: Mitski, Weyes Blood, Lucy Dacus, Dodie.
Slow dancing in South America vibes: Natalia Lafourcade; Devendra Banhart (fav album: Ma and Mala); João Gilberto
Pitchfork folk: Simon & Garfunkel (the folkish albums); Fleet Foxes (fav album: Helplessness Blues); Joanna Newsom (fav album: Have One on Me); Ichiko Aoba; Vashti Bunyan.
Ethnic folk: Masakatsu Takagi, Coreyah, Sid Meier's Civilization series soundtracks (a great intro to world music), gamelan songs.
Pop: Taylor Swift, Lorde.
K-Pop: Red Velvet; Mamamoo.
Others I really enjoy that doesn't fit in these categories: Bombay Bicycle Club, P. Ramlee, Wieteke van Dort, Luisa Sobral, Spiritualized.
Movies; While I do enjoy watching films, I don't watch that much movies there days. My top 4 Letterboxd picks include Submarine (2010), Y Tu Mamá También (2001), Breathless (1960), and Whisper of The Heart (1995). If anything, I enjoy feel good aesthetic quirky indie films, any film by Cuarón, any film by Godard, any film by Bong Joon-ho (he doesn't make the top 4, but I enjoy everything he does), and some Ghibli.
Books: I read very randomly so I can't even name any favorite author or genre right now, but I love books and would love to talk about them.
Right. That's all I guess. Feel free to leave a like/reblog so I can check out your blog and drop a hi in your inbox. Thank you for reading this far and I hope you have a great day!
