Hey @Sevven :)

Do you have any gorgeous skies to share?
I love the night sky, looking up at the stars, especially if I'm lucky enough to see a shooting star.
original_meteor_20shower_20calendar_202020.jpg

Where did you go on your favorite vacation?
I've been lucky to go to some really cool places. Svalbard to see the Northern Lights and Borneo to see the wildlife. Bali, Thailand, Grenada, Morocco were all cool too. But the Greek islands are my favourite place on earth and I feel homesick when I'm not there.

Have you ever made a sudden, drastic change without hesitating?
Walking out of art school just before graduating - probably a bit of a dick move.

If you could have Any pet, what would your first choice be?
Hard choice, I love pretty much all animals (as long as they don't have eight legs). I miss having a horse but I'm not sure I could cope with the demands of looking after one again. I guess I can never imagine my life without a dog in it. When Eddie goes to live with my daughter permanently I will definitely get another one. Not fussy on breed, just one who's not too big to snuggle next to me on the sofa. I'd probably rescue an older dog as there are so many in the shelters.

Do you like your name? If you could change it what would it be?
I hate my name, first name and surname. I've always liked the name Zoë so I'd maybe change it to that. Or Charlotte (Lottie for short).

What's one thing you can't stand?

Where did you go on your favorite vacation?
I've really only been on vacation one place, but I had a good time - Colorado.

Have you ever made a sudden, drastic change without hesitating?
I have been known to have an impulsive streak

If you could have Any pet, what would your first choice be?
I want a panda

Do you like your name? If you could change it what would it be?
Not even a little bit. I'd change it to Nicholas of course.

What's one thing you can't stand?
Seams in socks! Or really seams in clothing.

I can relate to this. I was given a name by my parents but it’s not mine. I actually feel uncomfortable if someone asks me what my name is. I don’t really know if I would relate to any other name though either.
Yeah, I hate answering that question, I actively avoid saying my name, and when called by it, I cringe and want to hide every time. I think it even shows. My username here kinda grew on me though (although it was chosen quite randomly), I don't have any bad reaction when called by it and even associate something positive with it, so I think it's just a matter of time before relating to one. At first you certainly wouldn't because *you* haven't worn that name before, but it grows. :)

Thanks for opening and sharing great pictures @Sevven . This is one of the best sunrises I've ever seen.

Where did you go on your favorite vacation?
It’s really difficult to pick out one place as a favorite. Maybe Cuba. Or hiking close to where I live now.

Have you ever made a sudden, drastic change without hesitating?
Yes, not so long ago.

If you could have Any pet, what would your first choice be?
I can’t have a pet because I travel a lot. But I’m sure I would never have a caged one.

Do you like your name? If you could change it what would it be?
I like it, I wouldn’t change it.

What's one thing you can't stand?
Hypocrisy and double standards.
Wow that's insanely gorgeous!

Where did you go on your favorite vacation?

When I was 6 or so trips to San Antonio and Houston/Galveston. I have been back to both areas since. It was interesting as a kid who had only read about the Alamo or saw the old John Wayne movie to see it in person and many who have never seen it before are surprised how small it is. A good sized two story house is bigger and many are expecting to see the entire Alamo complex which was quite large. No the Alamo is in the middle of downtown San Antonio so you see: gas station, pawn shop, barber shop...what the hell was that old, small building? The Alamo then you see a strip mall. LOL. At Galveston it was interesting to tour the Battleship Texas. It is interesting to see pictures such as online at how spartan and bare everything was. Uncomfortable and hot because until World War II no Navy ship had air condition so in the Tropics they were sweatboxes. The only A/C areas were because of electronics needing to bet kept cool from shorting out nonstop, nothing was for crew comfort.

Have you ever made a sudden, drastic change without hesitating?

I did when I quit a job without any prospects at all in 1998 but I swore the place would have had me going postal if I stayed.

If you could have Any pet, what would your first choice be?

Fully tamed and trained? A grizzly bear. Imagine you are out for a walk and a mugger tries to rob you while you are out walking your pet grizzly bear what a shock that would be and the guy would need to change his drawers. LOL

Do you like your name? If you could change it what would it be? I like mine just fine.

What's one thing you can't stand? Inconsistency in people. I can't stand double standards.
Aagghh I almost said bear. I ducking love bears!!!

That's how I felt since childhood I'd look in the mirror and say it over and over and it just wasn't me. My parents were anti nickname because it "showed disrespect for their decision" on what to call me. 🤢
I secretly used an array of nicknames at school. I was Ollee for a while. Lol. I wanted something new before heading off to college and, long story short, chose Sevven. I legally changed it when I was 21. It had become me, despite not even really being a name. I couldn't just pick an ordinary name, that actually felt more odd. Sometimes I think about changing it to something that doesn't sound like it was made up by a teenager but Idk what... y'all wanna name me?? 😄

Ty for tagging me @Sevven & for opening the cafe! Nice pix you (and everyone else too!) posted, love them a lot :)

Where did you go on your favorite vacation?
Disneyland I guess, Spain was cool too though.

Have you ever made a sudden, drastic change without hesitating?

Yes & I think overall kinda regret it but I try not to dwell on that cos it was over 9 years ago now so whatever.

If you could have any pet, what would your first choice be?

The kind I already have which is a cat.

Do you like your name? If you could change it what would it be?

No cos it's way too common. I think a name I would like a lot for my first name is either Marina, Veronica, Vanessa or Valerie cos they all sound much more seductive than what my actual name is. Guess there's lots of pretty girls w/ my name too but it seems like it's a name that can go either way & either becomes prettier if the woman is pretty, or a lot less pretty if she isn't. I guess it's good it's at least a "forgiving" name in that way.

What's one thing you can't stand?

When people give way more credit to a person for something than they deserve (meaning this mostly when it is more upsetting kinds of things like if they are a mean, cold, heartless, disloyal jerk yet people say they are great or w/e, just despicably blind imo but w/e, I know I ultimately need to just work a lot harder on caring a lot less about people in general & believe me when I say I am working absolutely as hard as I possibly can on that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
