I would say I'm a techy/nerdy geek. Love Star Wars, and Star Trek, pretty much all SciFi really. Huge Discworld fan. Like Lego.
Fairly run of the mill middle aged white guy stuff i guess.
Very hard to offend - and I swear a lot more than I do online.

We also have a "family game night" each week, so if you've got a favourite card game that's in budget, that would be great!
We've got Uno & Uno no mercy. We also have the Cluedo card game, one about growing beans (actually fun!), monopoly card game, and a Star Wars escape card game. Oh, and CAH. Obviously 😂

I do love stationery! I use a fountain pen (with refillable cartridge) as my main writing pen. A previous Santa bought me some sealing wax and a seal, which i still use to this day (my will is sealed with it for instance).
I have also been gifted some watercolour pencils which I often use in my model painting (they're great for rust effects etc).
-
I don't really do "fun socks" (I really CBF pairing them), and any t-shirts etc need to be 3XL or larger - not (just) because I'm fat, but because I need the length because of my height.
I don't really "do" hats. And I seldom wear anything for pins/ badges (except i do have a Tino Rangatiratanga pin for my suit lapel).

#SecretSantaAoNZ. #Hints Hi Santa. Most importantly, Have fun! Anything handmade, recycled, repurposed, or second hand is ok. Currently my paperclips are stored in their small cardboard box.If you are in an op-shop & see something beautiful that could hold them, think of me. 1/n

Third sub-thread. Another link back to Twitter days... this time not so easy to navigate.
A list of 100 (un)interesting things about me....
-
Far too many! I bake, decorate cakes, paint canvas, build models, paint miniatures, sew, program code, volunteer with the New Zealand Cadet Forces, build Lego, and am learning Te Reo Māori... but they do all tend to be inside hobbies. Again, my @crafty account is a good pointer.

For an average cis male, about what you'd expect. I have no piercings, so I usually only wear a toki pounamu, my 4-colour gold puzzle wedding ring, my engagement silver bangle, a cheap AliExpress health/activity ring, and a watch. Oh, and reading glasses, if they count?
-
Hmm... as little as possible 😂 I'm probably a bit of a closet hoarder, so it's not a great thing.
Saying that, i have lots of Lego. I have a lot of material (I sew), more paints and brushes than you can count (I paint models), and probably too many Raspberry Pis... you can see some of my stuff over on my @crafty account.

I've never understood this whole "favourite colour", "favourite number", "favourite food" thing. Even as a kid, I could never understand how anyone could prefer a number over any other numbers... that's not changed as I've grown up.
So... knock yourself out and go wild 😁
-
No dietary restrictions. I'll eat pretty much anything put in front of me. But I do have an incredibly sweet tooth. And I love "fizzy sour" lollies too.
For contentious stuff, love feijoa, love peas in Mac'n'cheese, love tinned spaghetti hoops (not a fan of them on pizza), pineapple on pizza is great.
-
Sub-thread kick off number 1... hints.
Pets... I'm a cat person, not a dog person. That said, my cat has passed on, so I now steal cuddles with my wife's cat.
I also live with her two dogs (Bert, mini Schnauzer, and Leuy, a psychotic Lowchen).
Also have a couple of tropical marine fish.

#SecretSantaAoNZ is this thing on?
Donkey is my nickname (after the annoying talking animal in #Shrek). Kāihe is #TeReo for donkey, or ass.
Things not listed in my bio/pinned posts, I’m a fan of:
• #Firefly
• #DoctorWho
• #Pixar Movies (the earlier ones, really)
• #Capybara (my spirit animal)
• #StarTrek (#StarWars is fun, but - if I had to choose just one - it’d be Trek. All of them except Enterprise)
• #Jacinda’s politics of empathyUmmmm … not sure what else to say - it’s been a while since I last did #SecretSantaAoNZ back in the old days when the bad place was the good place.
