Childhood me (2005) briefly appears in the YouTuber Jaiden Animations's video My Time at "Camp Operetta" (2019) wearing a rhino mask.
Having appeared onscreen alongside her in a public video, I have amusingly low Bacon numbers (degrees of separation via onscreen appearances) to a lot of random people. For example, this means I have a Tom Scott and Will Smith number of 2, or a Linkin Park (well, Chester Bennington (RIP) and Mike Shinoda) number of 3 (step 1, step 2). And through Will Smith my own Kevin Bacon number is 4.
At the moment, immersion-based language learning is my main hobby. I like to read and watch TV and movies in Spanish and Japanese. Time-permitting, I also mine sentence cards from immersion content. I'm currently actively studying Mandarin to reach a basic level of media comprehension. Several other languages are on my dream list.

Here's a couple I like and either still keep up with or completed:

I've heard this is very rare and unique in the STEM field; please try to hide your surprise. I like to play the piano.
