Questions Bipolar Version #8

I love being in the water. Swimming eh, I’m not good at the American crawl. Never learned to breathe properly. But I can do the butterfly, back stroke, side strokes and of course the dog paddle.

Have you ever disliked something, then changed your mind.

Often....

Favourite scent?

Lavender, absolutely! It’s so calming.

What’s the title of the book you read most recently? Did you enjoy it?

The Girl Who Speaks Bear. I did enjoy it

Favourite film you've seen recently?

I'm going to say the downton abby movie

it was funny, it was a good story, and even if you'd not watched downton abby (I have), I think people would still enjoy it. I can't wait for the second movie coming out in december.

do you like winnie the poo?. have you seen any films with him?. got any stuffed animals from the 100 acre wood?

I like the book winnie the pooh, I have an eeyore stuffed animal.

intrivert

Sometimes, usually at weekends. Right now we have strawberries from our garden

Did you learn a musical instrument when a cub/child?

yum!. berries!. on a hot day like today, they'd be extra yummy
no. no instraments here, though my music teacher was kean for me to learn the piano (I wasn't.)

name a song that gets you singing everytime you hear it

I took a few years of piano lessons, but unfortunately didn't continue or later have a piano to practice on. Perhaps in another life...I was OK at playing. Not a special talent, though. I was a better dancer.

See raging vortex question further above. [We posted, simultaneously.]

Bacon roll by Mark Knopfler always gets Papa bear singing (I'm not sure about one song that I always sing to, there are a few I sing to sometimes )

Favourite food(s) for breakfast?

Homemade waffles (especially blueberry waffles) topped with fresh fruit/berries, a little maple syrup, and whipped cream. OR, a Dutch Baby topped with a little maple syrup and fresh berries and whipped cream. OR, homemade crepes with a variety of fillings (preserves and fruit and whipped cream OR cinnamon-sugar OR lemon juice and sugar). French toast is also a favorite. If I have a big hunger, a favorite side would be either crisp bacon, fried pork roll, or fried breakfast sausages. Grapefruit or orange juice and coffee is a must. Maybe a little yogurt, too. I most like sweet high carb breakfasts.

What smells/aromas do you like the most?

Freshly baked bread, coffee, scent of roses, sea spray

Favourite tree?

none.

but any that don't have bees I guess. alergic

do you enjoy puzzles?

No, I have no patience in doing them. Especially not the kind where you put little cardboard shapes into place. Perhaps I like crossword puzzles, and the like, slightly more, but still rarely do them.

What do you have little patience for?

explaining stuff

once.... okay. fair enough

twice... maybe if you missed something first time round

but when I'm explaining something 10/11 times, that's what gets annoying

also, I really don't have patience for people who seek attention. people who say something like, oh come here, it's really important, I have to do it now, it can't wait, so you go thinking they really need you and they go.. how are you?. how are your family?. dog?. other people in your life?

and I'm thinking.. I thought you actually needed me?

and when you try to leave they are like.. all ready?. really? and you're like yes, I can't stand here all day talking about what my dog ate for breakfast

and re: those puzzles with the cardboard peaces, I know someone with a disney puzzle with over 1 thousand 300 peaces..

favorite disney movie?

The lion king (or I think it would be, I've been intending to watch it)

Favourite comedy movie?

It's hard to pick one. Maybe "Airplane". It's an older one, but hilarious.

What is the sickest you've ever been, physically? [Not mentally.]

I think maybe when I broke my leg (aged 5)

Favourite psych book (or books) that you've read?

the lion king is a good movie

my favorite disney movie too

Question - favourite disney character?

peter pan.

I mean if he could just fly through my window and take me to neverland for ever and ever and ever, I'm in!. sucks growing old.

I also really like his fairyfriend tinkerbell. the bell makes me feel calm.

do you believe that their's a character (disney or otherwise) that you relate to?, or have you been told you relate too- me, people tell me I'm like elsa, shy and love the cold. I can work with that..

Baloo from the Jungle Book?

Are you interested in history? If so, do you find some parts of history particularly interesting?

I do enjoy studying history. I was one of the more enthusiastic students in those classes. Even my major at university included a good amount of history-related courses. I suppose I'm a little more interested in modern vs. ancient history. European and Asian (particularly Chinese) history were my focuses.

Were you a good student when in school? Either way, in which subject did you do best?

I was mostly a good student. I think I did best in biology (except for sometimes the dissections)

Colour of your first (or favourite) bike?
