Autumn1973 · Mar 22, 2021

Thanks for the invitation, Auri

1. "Star Wars." The original trilogy (Episodes 4,5 and 6). Your age or general taste in movies doesn't matter as far as "Star Wars" goes. If you have an open mind and heart, you will see it through the eyes of your younger-self and be blown away by the ultimate journey.

2. Queen Live at Wembley Stadium, July 11th and 12th, 1986. The greatest concerts of all time as far as I'm concerned. Freddie's performances still make me smile, no matter how many times I watch. Queen's Live Aid performance still makes me get tears in my eyes, and Freddie still mesmerizes me just as much as when I was a kid.

3. "To Kill a Mockingbird." This is one that I think everyone should read at least once.

1. A hug is always nice, and I get that every time I visit this site because I've found a place where I belong. Where I can be myself.

2. I'm okay. Very saddened by the recent mass-shooting in this country. Still saddened for the victims of the one last week.

3. My desire to be who I really am on the inside all the time. Her mind, her heart and her gentle nature.

1. Greek or Italian.
2. Greece. Would love to see this country's monuments to classical mythology with my own eyes.
3. I've never seen a ghost, but I'm open-minded to the possibility.
4. Yes. I'm very good at it, too.
5. Neither. I still have a flip-phone, lol. I'm not on social media, and when I want to go online I do it on my laptop. I only use my phone for phone-related things.
6. Both. LOVE chocolate, LOVE ice cream, LOVE chocolate ice cream.
7. Don't know. I'd have to think about that.
8. No pets.
9. A lot of things, multiple collections, but my most favorite and largest collection is my Marvin The Martian memorabilia. I have two shelving units packed - overflowing, actually - with everything Marvin The Martian.
10. I do sing when I'm alone. Lately it's been "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.

I am happy to say I turned Lux onto one of my favorite films. And I second the recommendation!

Oops, one of HER favorite films.

Harrow said:

The entrance fee is about the cost for a therapy session I used to pay, excluding the meds.
I cannot really fake happiness, though. The best I can do is pushing the suicidal thoughts aside to feel something else.

Recommended movies: Forrest Gump (1994) and The Terminal (2004) - Tom Hanks' movies, light-hearted with a bit of action, romance and thriller.
Recommended songs: Paralyzed - NF (a rap song about depression and anxiety) and Jesus in LA - Alec Benjamin (not a Christian song, it's just about an artist with a broken dream)
Recommended books: Brave New World - Aldous Huxley (the most accurate predictions about the outcome of this world) and The Prince - Niccolò Machiavelli (just life and how you are supposed to deal with it, in the context of a 15th century Italian noble)

I want to ask for a therapy discount that can be used in my country. Well, is that even possible?
My low point is over. It's guaranteed that I will have another one coming in a visible future. Perhaps, it's better now. I don't feel the urge to tell everyone I want to die.
The 3 beautiful things (about me): intelligence, open-mindedness and creativity.

If you could learn any language instantly what would you choose? - Japanese and French
Teleportation has just being invented and you can instantly appear anywhere in the world where would you like to appear? - Greenland. It's getting hotter at my place.
Do you believe in ghosts? - No.
Can you touch your nose with your tongue? - No, I've tried.
Android or iPhone? - I'm having an iPhone.
Chocolate or ice cream? - Chocolate ice cream, which is basically ice cream.
What would be your ideal job? - I don't know. CEO?
How many pets do you have? - None.
Is there anything you collect? - Sanity, reasons and common sense?
And lastly, do you sing when you're alone? - Yes, I do.

Baywasp · Mar 23, 2021

Thanks for the tags @Harrow @Auri

If you could choose one movie to share with us what would you choose? We have a big SF couch and we all want to watch it with you. Little Miss Sunshine. It's a fun and heartwarming movie, but it gets deep at times too.
Same for some music. Let's share what we love I'll share my favorite song here. I think I've shared it a lot, but I really want more people to hear it.

And you know me I have to ask for your book recommendations too? I think I recommended this in a previous cafe, but The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a very fun and interesting book.

You can ask for anything a hug a friend to care for you, someone to share with, or even just a joke, what do you need right now? Just spending time with someone would be nice.
How are you doing today, be honest, let it all out? Know you are cared about here. I'm doing okay. I had a pretty nice day. My roommate took me to Best Buy and I ordered a cool laptop that should be coming hopefully on Wednesday, I came home and relaxed, went and got some food, and then my roommate's friend dyed my hair for me. At the same time, I'm a little lonely, and I'm also still stressing about my research but not motivated enough to actually do anything for it.
And lastly, I want you to tell us three beautiful things you love about yourself, it's important you are number one and it's time to acknowledge that. I am very caring, I'm fairly smart, and I have the capacity for extreme dedication when I get really into something.

If you could learn any language instantly what would you choose? I'm already working on it, but probably French for the girl I like and for my mom too.
Teleportation has just being invented and you can instantly appear anywhere in the world where would you like to appear? Rochester, NY to see my sister and my best friend, who both live there.
Do you believe in ghosts? No. Might be interesting if they did exist though.
Can you touch your nose with your tongue? Yeah, sort of. Not the very tip of my nose though
Android or iPhone? I have an iPhone, but I'm not too fussed about it. The only reason I have an iPhone is that when I was choosing my first smartphone back in 2018, most of my friends had iPhones. I got to choose from some Android phones or an iPhone SE to get for free for switching my provider. So I've got my 1st generation iPhone SE and I still love it.
Chocolate or ice cream? Ice cream is my favorite.
What would be your ideal job? I'm aiming to be a psychology researcher, but I'd really love to be a jazz bassist or something like that.
How many pets do you have? None myself, but my roommates who are a married couple have 3 cats, and my other roommate (the original one I had in the old house too) has 4 snakes and 2 tegu lizards.
Is there anything you collect? I used to collect bottle caps and still have most of my old collection in a bag somewhere, but I haven't actively added to it in years. Currently, I guess I collect Tottenham Hotspur shirts. I have about 5 of them, plus a tee shirt (that has a hole under the one arm unfortunately.) I'd like to get at least one of the shirts they have each season, but it's not always possible because they're so damn expensive.
And lastly, do you sing when you're alone? I love singing. My voice has been pretty terrible and fairly weak lately for whatever reason, so I don't do it as much as I used to

JMG · Mar 23, 2021

Tysm for the tags @Harrow & @Auri and congrats on your first cafe Harrow, great facts, quote & q's, love it all!

Here's my answers to the q's.

1. If you could choose one movie to share with us what would you choose? We have a big SF couch and we all want to watch it with you.
Same as what @Autumn1973 said, the original Star Wars trilogy, for sure. And it definitely is very true about it not mattering what kind of genre you usually like when it comes to movies cos Star Wars is just completely it's own thing

2. Same for some music. Let's share what we love
ABBA!

Love a lot of their songs cos they are always so happy which is really uplifting to listen to. Listening to them has helped me through some of the worst most painful times in my life for sure. Would not be the same person without their songs to have helped me in my life journey.

3. And you know me I have to ask for your book recommendations too?
Harry Potter.

Now that we have shared. Let's be selfish a little bit and ask for something

1. You can ask for anything a hug a friend to care for you, someone to share with, or even just a joke, what do you need right now?
To talk to someone and have them really, truly understand how important it is to get a sincere and at least fairly positive response back to what I have said. It is one of the best things a person can do for another person in this world so I guess I just really wish there was a way I could make everyone truly understand that.

2. How are you doing today, be honest, let it all out? Know you are cared about here.
Conflicted about what to do and how to do it with...certain things. I guess aside from being a bit stressed about that, I'm pretty good.

3. And lastly, I want you to tell us three beautiful things you love about yourself, it's important you are number one and it's time to acknowledge that.
- That I'm loyal
- That I'm creative
- That I am sincerely caring and accepting.

random questions

1. If you could learn any language instantly what would you choose?
Spanish.

2. Teleportation has just being invented and you can instantly appear anywhere in the world where would you like to appear?
California, definitely. Either the redwoods forest, the golden gate bridge or Hollywood Blvd where Mark Hamill's walk of fame star is

3. Do you believe in ghosts?
Hmm, it's evening here right now so I really hope I won't be bitten in the butt by...anything...if I answer this honestly. Ok, what the heck, no, I don't. Never saw one (and kinda hope I never do cos I think the shock of it could very likely kill me).

4. Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
Yes.

5. Android or iPhone?
Android.

6. Chocolate or ice cream?
Chocolate.

7.What would be your ideal job?
Fashion designer or maybe actress but only if I was actually good at it.

8. How many pets do you have?
1, a perfect lil kitty named Bella. She will be 2 years old next month. If I could have as many pets as I wanted then I'd have at least 5 cats, a dog or 2, an aquarium full of cool, unique fish, some snakes, rabbits and monkeys. Oh maybe some birds too. Ya that'd be really cool

9. Is there anything you collect?
Lol. Anyone who's familiar with me here and how much I love Star Wars probably already knows the answer to this. For those who aren't, ya, I love Star Wars so I tend to collect Star Wars themed things. Don't have a big collection overall (not compared to most fans of it probably) but aside from the original trilogy movies, some of the other Star Wars things I have are: a bunch of books, some magazines, dozens of pics, 4 shirts, 4 figurines, a blanket, some bookmarks, a wall calendar (for this year, an Empire Strikes back 40th anniversary one), a Yoda pez and a pen with Yoda on it.

10. And lastly, do you sing when you're alone?
Yes, only when I'm alone. Lol

This is Macau that used to be Macarena.

The cat, the fence, the stone and even that plant in the back are so similar that I was a little confused when I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the picture. *rofl

Sorry for that! I remember that you posted a picture of him, so I found it and reposted it to confirm that his face could have easily been mistaken for either gender!

adamjam · Mar 23, 2021

Morning @Harrow thanks for the cafe and tag, hello @Auri thanks for the tags.
1. Hmm I'm not really a movie watcher, Babel was pretty good.
2. I like all types of music so let me think. Anything by Two Cellos, Carol of the Bells Trans Siberian Orchestra, anything by Crowder, La Luz, Crushing Snakes and Prove it are my go to.
For books I'd recommend Going by Sumner Elliot, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers.
I already speak a foreign language, Toddler, comes from the other dimensional land that is Toddlerhood.
If I could appear anywhere in the world?
Um does the afterlife count? Haha
I do not believe in ghosts.
Just tried it, if I use my hand to smash my nose down, yes I can.
Android or iPhone?
Whatevers cheapest when I'm buying one at the D.G.
Both chocolate and ice cream, I cant pick just one.
Ideal job would be something working with customers, it's odd, as hard of a time i have in a social setting I excel at customer service, must be all these kids lol
I have 2 cats and a brood of kids.
What do I collect? See above answer.
I sing whether or not I'm alone. Especially in grocery stores to embarrass my teen. He stands there shaking his head "mom just...no" cause I dance too.
Have a good day everyone, I enjoyed reading all your responses, and its almost impossible to tell whether a kitten is male or female, one must what a month for things to grow...or not.

Harrow · Mar 23, 2021

@VioletDawn asked me to answer my own questions and who am I to refuse a request *hug

Today I want you all to think of a good deed that needs doing and then go out there and do it. Go on we'll be waiting

A good deed is something as simple as wishing someone a good morning, you just never know what someone needs at that moment do you, so have I done a good deed today? Nope, not yet I have not wished anyone good morning yet. But I will work on it

Secondly, find a favorite song and play it for yourself, you deserve it after your good deed, go you

I am not sure why but I relate to this song lately, walking a mile in someone else's shoes. It makes me feel happy not being alone. I think at least I am understanding it, I wish he would rap a little slower so I can make sure lol

Now it is time to reflect on that good deed and your awesome new mood. Feel the happiness wash over you

I do not like to take my own advice, suck it, Harrow of yesterday, nice try trying to trick me. But I will try to do something nice for someone today and give it a go

And all this time you've been wearing an outfit that just makes you feel good right?

Nope I am home alone, I have unironed trousers and an unironed long sleeve shirt on (do not worry the curtains are down) But I do wish I was wearing a really well-fitted suit

What I am, currently mind wearing and don't I look good.

Now it's time to make that decision, this is the new you, the happy you, and you're going to hold on to that right?

I have been trying

And if you're still struggling that's okay, all you need to start with is just a little smile. I believe in you ((hug))

I do not smile I more cheekily smirk

If you could choose one movie to share with us what would you choose? We have a big SF couch and we all want to watch it with you.

The Trial of the Chicago 7, you want change go out there and fight for it. Best movie I have seen in a long time. Abbie Hoffman and Tom Hayden are amazing

Same for some music. Let's share what we love

Maybe later I have a headache at the moment to think of something

And you know me I have to ask for your book recommendations too?

Dracula, I loved it

You can ask for anything a hug a friend to care for you, someone to share with, or even just a joke, what do you need right now?

I am feeling very unwell today so it would be nice to get a bowl of noodles in bed. Asking too much probably lol

How are you doing today, be honest, let it all out? Know you are cared about here.

Honestly, I am feeling terrified and sad today and a little disappointed in myself. But that is on me and one step at a time and then I will be better

And lastly, I want you to tell us three beautiful things you love about yourself, it's important you are number one and it's time to acknowledge that.

I thought this would be easy, but I literally cannot think of anything. Oops

If you could learn any language instantly what would you choose?

Japanese.

Teleportation has just being invented and you can instantly appear anywhere in the world where would you like to appear?

The International Space Station. Just because.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Logically no. But honestly yes.

Can you touch your nose with your tongue?

After about fifteen minutes of intense trying, I can sadly say no, what a bummer

Android or iPhone?

Android because I am poor and iPhone is expensive

Chocolate or ice cream?

Honestly neither, Marshmallows all the way

What would be your ideal job?

Something that allows me to wear a suit every day

How many pets do you have?

Four dogs, Charlie, Lilly, Henry, and Duke and one cat Ellie

Funny story in my section of the house Ellie never leaves and Charlie is mostly with us too, so we are the three gingers so it is known as the Ginger room

Is there anything you collect?

Digital books and movies

And lastly, do you sing when you're alone?

Not really, I cannot even stand my singing voice alone, how sad is that lol

Once again thank you for everyone who participated it means the world to me *hug

And you have intelligence beyond your years.

Harrow said:

I posted my three things... and I really don't understand why 70% of this post is about me and not you... but I'm not supposed to complain about it, so thank you for your kind words. And thank you for replying to the question, you are absolutely right. :p *hug

You can be any guy friend to me you wish. *woohoo

Not sure I love clothes that much, I just love feeling "good" in my clothes, but sure, I can discuss clothes anytime. I could certainly need the help in picking what to wear some days! *stars

Harrow · Mar 23, 2021

@VioletDawn you didn't say three things about yourself either.

I will help you out ☺️

* You are caring kind and compassionate
* You are loving strong and loyal
* And you beat dark souls just saying 😉

And yeah I always make things about other people, sorry.
I'm confident in who I am, but doesn't mean I like sharing it always so I avoid and yeah
