Bipolar Questions #7

I try not to let that sort of thing bother me

favourite fruit?

blueberries

Can you touch type?

What is a touch type?

typing without looking at the keyboard. Sorry, must be something my teacher made up

Oh. Yeah. I do that.

Will you eat a caramel apple this fall?

I would like to.

Do you often eat chocolate pudding?

I haven't had chocolate pudding in many years. But that was always my favorite when I was a child (cub).

Have you ever gone kayaking?

Canoeing, but not kayaking.

Do you hang most of your laundry to dry, or are you able to chuck most of it in a tumble dryer?

oh I like using the drier when I can.

when I have to hang stuff up (usually when the drier's broken) it takes ages

actually quite fussy about laundry. I want it done before midday, and when I can't it's annoying.
what appliance in your house do you think is the most valuable to you? (you could literally not do without it)

The fridge. No way could I handle doing a food shop everyday.

Do you remember your first crush, back when you were only 5 or 6 years old?

I was 7 years old & his name was Gilbert. I thought about him all the time & could hardly wait to see him again at school the next day. He was so cute.

Why do you think we want friends?

We are hired wired to be social (we are social animals)

Do you like talking to new people? Online?

I like talking to new people in person and online. I struggle and get really anxious with people in positions of authority, like doctors, my cat's vet, the building manager, although she's very nice. But social chit chat with ordinary people I find easy and enjoyable. I find it easier in person than online, so covid's been hard on me.

Do you like rolling up your pants and wading in the water...whatever body of water is available to you?

Lol, yes. Rodney. He rode the same school bus and lived in a yellow house. I don't think I ever even spoke to him (I was painfully shy). Haha.

What is your favorite dried fruit?

My favorite dried fruit would be the fig, but it seems like the only time they're around is at Christmas time with mixed dried fruits in gift packages.

How do you feel about wild horses?

Sings "Wild horses...couldn't drag me away..." The Rolling Stones, you say? Ah, no - wild horses.

I think wild horses are magnificent. I hear there are great wild horse herds in Nevada, but I've never seen any.


Have you ever watched The Mickey Mouse Club?

of course!

a true disney fan needs too, at some point in their life, watch something with mickey mouse in it.

I do like the mickey mouse club. it's fun.

what did you like as a child which you've now grown out of? (food, tv show, song, activity)

Long strawberry blond hair and eyelashes w freckles. Always thought I was a little girl.

Favorite island?

fictional island, gulla gulla island

as a kid, I loved that show.

real island probably crete

because of it's connection to greek mythology, which I love reading about.

what is your current relationship with your family. close, not so close, or not speaking at all?

Pass.....

Favourite island? And have you visited it?

Treasure Island (the book, which I have definitely visited.)

Do you like to cook?

I have to be "in the mood" to actually enjoy it. Usually it's a chore. Except for smoothies. I enjoy making my smoothies, but that's not really cooking.

Do you journal?

Hi Sapien, welcome to PC!

I have a love/hate relationship with my journal. My wife wants me to try using my camera to take a picture of something that emotionally evokes something from me daily. I might try that. She's a smart one, that lass of mine.

Have you ever read the posthostumous autobiography in the way of an author's journals either in the form of Cave Writings, Aboriginal Drawings, Ancient journals of poets, philosophers and generals of Rome, or a slave living in the South? What about Anne Frank or Benjamin Franklin? Just curious. I find some fascinating, some scary, some devastating.

when I was at school we did anne frank's diary, but I only remember a very little bit about it

I was all ready starting to struggle with my mental health, and as well as the general oh I don't like school, I don't like the teachers, I just didn't retain stuff because of my memory issues.

I've not read anything like that since. I've not really read anything since... I have, but not entire books. my focus for reading isn't their. shame really. their's a lot of stuff out their I do want to read

question: how did you discover this forum?. was it through search?. a friend?. another site?

I told a friend I wished I could find a support group. She used the internet to discover NAMI & sent me downloaded printouts about them. I used my cell phone browser to visit their websites. That eventually led me to PC.

Have you ever had a pet duck?
