Hello World!

Welcome to my blog ^-^ I've never actually done a blog before waow so I'm a bit nervous, I just don't know what to talk about. Do people just ramble in these things? Is it a safe space for me to actually just pour my thoughts into? I guess I can start off by telling you all some things about me and we can take it from there.

About Me

My name is Cecilia, but you can call me Cece if that's easier and if you prefer it. I'm 31 years old, my birthday was January 7th so it's still fresh ;-; I'm a transgender woman, and I am living in Australia currently. I want to eventually live in Japan, I don't deal well with the constant heat and even though I am obsessed with nature and being outdoors when my mental health permits it, I really don't like beaches.

My hobbies are, in no particular order, video games, anime, manga, music, reading, writing, witchcraft, and skateboarding. Bloodborne is my favourite video game, and I am a FromSoftware fangirlie. I really like JRPG games too, and sim management games, with Final Fantasy and Rimworld being my favourites in those genres.

My favourite anime is Elfen Lied, with the rest of the list being School-Live!, Skip and Loafer, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Horimiya, Toradora, Higurashi: When They Cry, Laid Back Camp, Journal with Witch, and Champignon Witch. I like cute, slice of life anime without much drama. It is just very cosy to me. My favourite manga is also very similar, as I typically either pick up a manga because I like the show, or vice-versa.

I have been skateboarding since I was about 13 years old, so coming up on 20 years soon. I'm not very good, I can do some basic tricks and I can drop in at skateparks and stuff, but I prefer just street skating. It's nice at night when it's quiet, and I can just sorta relax with my headphones in and be alone.

During school, writing was one of the best things ever in my eyes, and English was my favourite subject because of that. Over the years I've sorta stopped writing as much but I'm hoping I can get back into it and become somewhat readable, again.

Transitioning has been difficult, mostly due to other people and their thoughts and opinions on transgender people as a whole. I've been on HRT since May 1st 2025, so almost a year! I'm very happy with who I am and stuff. I'm a lot happier now that I was before I came out. I'm also asexual and aromantic, which has made getting a girlfriend very difficult because I just don't know how I'm supposed to act in a relationship.

Witchcraft is a hobby of mine. I do little spells (mainly money spells, I'm broke, send help) and stuff quite often, and I consider myself a bit of a swamp witch as I like being in nature and in swamps specifically, and using stuff like swamp water and moss and stuff in my magics. I also have started collecting crystals and minerals! We do a lil fossicking.

My two cats, Erika (she has one eye :3) and Captain Zapp Brannigan are my best friends. I'm not sure if that makes me pathetic, but I love them so much. They have both recently just turned 4 years old! I've had Rikki (Erika's nickname) for almost the entire 4 years of her life, I got her when she was 3 months old, and I've had Zapp for close to 3 years now! I would like to get some pet fish and a few pet frogs, but I need to find a bigger place to live, first. 

I am currently working as an estimator for a window fabrication company and it is draining the life out of me. My ideal job would be to run a bookstore as I feel at home around books and I love reading, and helping people pick new books to read.

This Blog

The purpose of this blog is really just so I can get back into writing. I feel like I'm a bit all over the place at the moment when it comes to getting things across, and I'm not sure if that's because of a lack of practice or because that's just how my brain works these days, but I'd like to try and start making sense again. I'm going to try and at least do a daily post, and along the way I'll figure out my blog's aesthetic and stuff properly. I'm sorry if this post looks a bit bad. I've never used this website before.

I know that this post wasn't really very much fun, but I had no idea what to write as it was my first one and I've been sick for the last 5 days so I haven't really done anything fun to report back on. I finished Donkey Kong Bananza, that was pretty fun, even if the last boss made me want to throw my Switch through my window.

I'm gonna end it here because I'm just rambling for the sake of it now. Thank you all, whoever made it through all of that. I hope something about me interested you enough to want to come back tomorrow. :)
