Janina - Hedonistic language nerd

This text was written in Oktober 2016 as part of the 'Who am I' section in the newly created discourse forum. As it is forseeable that said forum will not be used much longer, I wanted to save this text. And also have it accessible, so that I can link it on my facebook page, because I think it came out pretty well...^^

Hey there, I'm Janina, Djahnie or hopefullyunique and I produce a lot of words...^^

This is just a short introduction, if you're more interested in what I do and who I am, you can check out my personal space on the wiki (that's where you are now), as well as all the official stuff I write and wrote there for yunity and mainly FSINT.

Why am I here?
I am here because I immediately felt at home when I found the yunity project and people. I always wanted to do "something" to make the world a better place, but never really knew where to start or how to motivate myself to take responsibility. In yunity these problems somehow just disappeared...

What motivates me?
I am motivated by doable tasks, that have a foreseeable endpoint and immediate value. Translation tasks are a perfect example for that IMHO. But also foodshaving (yes, it's a portemanteau of 'foodsharing' and 'foodsaving' and I find it funny...^^) as a tool to actually build a real-life network of communities is something that makes the abstract dream of changing the world more graspable for me. I am also motivated by positive feedback and yunity luckily provides lots of that...

Something I would really love to do?
I'd love to see a world, where people freely share their trust and resources with each other, only to learn that this world is not such a bad place after all, and that human beings can be lovely, if you just treat them as lovable. I'm happy to experience an ever-growing scope of my horizon, and to feel the cognitive categories I built over the years softening, reorganizing and dynamically adapting to new situations and encounters. I have the feeling, that it is possible to fragment them so finely, that basically everything human can be appropriately perceived. Not that I am already able to do it, but the sheer possibility is such a relief to my scientific mind.

What am I working on?
For now I am mostly working on FSINT, because - as I said before - to me it signifies the way to make the big dream of yunity reality. It's something concrete, through which interested and interesting people can come in contact with each other to finally get active. Food is something everyone can relate to and reducing food waste is a cause nobody can object to. It's the perfect method for me to be active in and I am really motivated to spread this wonderful idea as far as possible!

What am I interested in?
I am interested in pleasant experiences. That can mean the rewarding sentiment of understanding Korean grammatical structures or subjectively solving a philosophical dilemma; writing texts, that receive comments and/or are useful for other people in their lives and work; feeling the warm prickling inside when listening to a beautiful song or looking at a capturing artwork and most of all the overwhelming sensation of being intensely embraced by caring arms, of looking into lovingly sparkling eyes, of sharing a bond that is as physical as it is emotional and intellectual, of spending hours just floating in this ultimate feeling of joy.
I am interested in figuring out how to make interhuman bonding and body sharing less complicated and restricted. I think that social interaction is one of the most complex and interesting topics out there and since I have a pretty good access to it, it seems doable for me to write up the mechanisms I observe and to propose solutions for challenging situations. I really think lamâschology is important and a valid subproject of yunity.

What are my requirements?
Sadly, I have to say that my requirements for being productive are a lack of pleasant distractions...
No really, I'm not very ambitious and I don't like challenges, which include the possibility of me failing. So I guess I need a lot of positive feedback to keep me going and also the occasional kick in the butt if I spiral out in party or chill mode.

What resources do I want to share?
Hm, dunno. I have a lot of stuff, that I actually don't need. If you need something just ask me, maybe I have it available...
When it comes to immaterial resources, I always love to share hugs and conversations! Do you want to discuss the inner structure of language or how language and cognition interact, while lying down and lamâsching each other? Please come to me! ^_^

What's my story?
Oh I think I covered a fair bit...^^
For the rest just follow the links...
