Hate humidity

Do you mind making phone calls (the ones with calling companies and doing business stuff like bills, ordering meds, etc)?

Jul 16, 2021 at 04:17 AM

it has to be done after all, I guess

me personally: I prefer talking to automated hotlines (press 1 for this, 2 for that etc etc)

but suppose it's a part of life. I don't really enjoy it, but what can you do.

question: have you ever won any type of compitition or contest?.

If you count rankings as competitions, I was first in my small graduating high school class. A more casual contest was strongest leg muscles/hamstrings in my class. Once in gym, all students (including boys) had to be in sitting position up against the wall as long as possible (no chairs). Over time, all other students fell in pain, while I had no problem. Intensive ballet training was to thank. I was also a frequent winner in badminton, trivia games, and a particular video game.

What game, subject, or sport were you bad at?

sewing

favourite musical iinstrument?

Jul 16, 2021 at 08:58 AM

the violin

did you pay attention in school?. fall asleep in lessons?. mess around in the back?. how did you handle things

Nammu · Jul 16, 2021 at 03:35 PM

I loved school. I paid attention, I had to, because I read lips. I was so-so on homework though. My parents didn’t hover or insist that any of us kids do our homework. As long as our grades were good they let us self monitor. I tested very well and got good grades without trying so imagine what I could have learned if I had tried.

What was your favorite age growing up? Why?

Jul 17, 2021 at 05:36 AM

anything before the age of 9 was fair game, and I think the younger the better (I just really liked my baby stuff, my bottle, my passifier and stuff) I didn't give up on the passifier until the age of 7 (true fact!)

but things started on a downward slope for me at 9

Possible trigger:

I attempted suicide

and that set the wheels in motion really. things just got worse from that point and I feel my childhood was robbed from me quite early (and I wish I still had a passifier!)
when you were a child, did you have a favorite comfort item/ items?. what were they

Not in the traditional sense. I was a very tough kid, though that's not to say I wasn't hurt, over time. If I must choose, I'd say my bicycle was like a comfort item. When I needed to escape, I just got on my bike and rode around. It made me feel freed and more at one with the world. Or my ideal world. Dancing was also a means of escape.

What is your favorite way of expressing yourself?

Jul 17, 2021 at 09:44 AM

I would say words and the way I present them (if I say them calmly, shout them, swear, what ever)

also body motions. if I'm impatient for example, I'll show it (andn ot just a bit either). a lot. same goes for any emotion. I was never good at hiding how I felt, or if you like, putting on a mask. I show raw emotion.

do you like swimming?

Fuzzybear · Jul 17, 2021 at 09:49 AM

I do like swimming

Favourite scent?

Nammu · Jul 17, 2021 at 09:52 AM

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.

Lavender, absolutely! It’s so calming.

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

Fuzzybear · Jul 17, 2021 at 11:48 AM

The Girl Who Speaks Bear. I did enjoy it

Favourite film you've seen recently?

Jul 18, 2021 at 09:08 AM

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?

Fuzzybear · Jul 18, 2021 at 10:23 AM

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.
