I'm Neon. I'm 39, queer, and live just outside of Portland, OR.
I like the sun, fresh air, being silly, playing music, singing, making stuff, old video games, wandering my neighborhood, wearing as much eye blindingly bright colors and rainbows as possible, and attempting to speak languages I don't know very well. I also travel as much as I can and I love old books with awesome illustrations (esp. medical or nature). I'm obsessed with Disney theme parks and Tokyo (planning trip #4 for when it's safe).
My favorite arts and crafts are crochet, making zines, making miniatures, watercolor, making silly and weird collages, and UV resin. I also pretend I know how to sew.
I'm a nerd. I like science, geography, and history. I love languages and speak English (fluent), Spanish (okay), Japanese (learning, intermediate beginner), and I just stared teaching myself Polish. I also love trivia and puzzles (mostly paint-by-number/nongrams/griddlers and anything put out by Games magazine). I go to the library at least two-three times a week (well, when it's not a pandemic).
I mostly just listen to the same music I've liked since the '00s/'90s.
I like stuff that's loud - pop-punk, riot grrl, grunge, post-punk, emo...not metal so much though.
I also like J-pop and K-pop, but not really enough that I know any artists or anything. I put it on Spotify sometimes.
I also love Disney music, of course, but it usually makes me cry because I don't know when I'll be able to get back to a Disney park again!! :'(
I don't have a ton of time to read these days, and with all the shit in the world, my focus is...unreliable. I read in the bath sometimes. I like queer YA fiction the best, dystopian is good although a little close to home sometimes these days...
I also am going through a phase where I LOVE reading obnoxious business books, I don't even know, your guess is as good as mine as to why, LOL, but I've been reading Russell Brunson's Dotcom Secrets series and I CANNOT GET ENOUGH. WHY?!
Also also, watching the new Baby-Sitters Club made me want to re-read the old books, so I'm now on the hunt for them when I go thrifting. So far, I've only got #2.
I don't watch a ton of TV. I have Netflix and I watch a lot of YouTube. Some of my favorite shows are:
My favorite movies are queer stuff, documentaries, Studio Ghibli, cute things, Disney, cheesy Hallmark type stuff. Mostly things that are feel-good because the world is feel-bad.
I love so many characters! Here are some of them:
I'm pan-craftual...I love learning new crafts!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Happy Birthday from Maui Neon!!!
Happy Birthday my Friend
I THINK WE SWAPPED WAY BACK WHEN I FIRST STARTED.
Welcome to Weirder Every Day!
Darn! The dimensions seemed to have transferred wrong! I'm so sorry. Here are the right dimensions:
Here's an extra for screwing that up:
Hi Neon,
We are partners for the Cryptif Profil Deco #1. I picked the chupacabra for my cryptid. I have fond memories of my grandma sending all her grandkids to bed with supernatural stories of her childhood in the countryside of Mexico. My favorite was always the tale of the chupacabra.
Sorry for the late send. I mixed up the deadline for a later date.
Hello! For the Cryptid Profile Decoration Swap. Stay safe and healthy!
First we have the grootslang. It has the head of an elephant and the body of a snake. It is an African legend said to be one of the first creatures the gods created. However, they gave it too much strength and cunning and it proved far too dangerous. The gods had to destroy the grootslangs and created elephants and snakes from its separated parts. However, one grootslang got away and created more.
The Black Shuck is a ghost dog found in England. It is a large black dog said to have glowing red eyes and is often seen as an omen of death. One of the more famous stories of the Shuck is from the 1800's where it was said to have entered a church during a clap of thunder, ran up the aisle and killed a man and his son. The Shuck left the church in ruin after breaking a pillar and leaving burn marks at the exit.
Last, the Tatzelwurm. Said to be found in the Alps of Europe. It has the upper body of a cat that turns into a snake tail. I really just like this one because I love cats and snakes and this is the best of both worlds! Also, I love this picture because it's adorable. Tatzelwurm's are said to be quite ferocious, though.
Haiku For You (x2) NRGordon
I hear a whistle
The train will soon pass by me
I like to watch it
Flowers are blooming
Spring is here in its glory
Allergies kill me
Do you go to Disney in Florida? Maybe we will run across one another. I'm guessing, from your profile, that I would recognize you.
