Hello,

This is the first time I've opened it so please be nice and sorry in advance if not correct.

I went in without thinking of what content I would put so.. here are some questions?

1. What's your favourite piece of stationary?
2. Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!)
3. What are some wrong assumptions people make about you?
4. What was the last book you read?
5. What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary?

My answers are:
1: The filofax!
2: I love them but they are friendly in my area and will just come and sit with you (ducks, on the other hand....)
3: That I'm quiet because I'm either rude or nervous - and then get a bit upset when I stand up for myself (this is usually at work). I just don't actually say things (out loud, in person, totally different story here) unless they need to be said.
4: I do not think I should say
5: "init"

goodmorning and/or evening folks.

today is ok for me, it is rainy which is ok and i have a few more days off work which is nice. anyways here is my answers

1) favorite stationary; i was always a fan of mechanical pencils growing up. i just think they are really neat. i can't remember if i like d .5 or .7 mil lead more though *hmm also i worked in a dollar store one time and enjoyed stocking the stationary aisle

2) i dunno about swans but can't say i'm that fond of geese, they are always just hissing if you get close. one thing i do admire about them is apparently they mate for life which i think is cool.

3) i am not sure of any wrong assumptions people make of me, for all i know they may be making correct assumptions lol

4) last book i finished was called "24/6" it's about taking one day a week off of technology, which i haven't managed to do lol

5) "yeah"

Okay @Lux, I will answer these, but only for you.

3. That because I am quiet, I must be a bor.
4. Uncle Tom's Cabin.
5. Have no friggin idea

 

[Ash600]

1. What's your favourite piece of stationary? - A pen where the ink flows beautifully
2. Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!) Swans - they are arrogrant shites, poncing around in their lakes as if they own the place. They might have Royal protection in the UK at the moment, but one day you bastards, should the monarchy fall, I'll be waiting.
3. What are some wrong assumptions people make about you? That I'm a nice person
4. What was the last book you read? Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. (plus the latest one from SF bookclub, Lux)
5. What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary? Actually it's two, "fucks sake"

 

[lost_in_a_fairytale]

ugh yeah people think similar for me when I'm quiet!

What's your favourite piece of stationary?
I don't know!

Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!)
I like them from a distance *bleh I'm scared they're gonna attack me lol one time I was walking a path by a lake and geese were blocking it, I tried to confidently walk up to them thinking they'd be scared off but they charged at me and I gave up and walked back the way I came

What are some wrong assumptions people make about you?
-I'm anti-social cause I'm quiet/nervous/not talkative when actually its just social anxiety or shyness or introvertness
-that I must have lots of friends
-that I must have a boyfriend/have had lots of guys like me
-that I'm smart (well I have good common sense, but I'm not academic smart so idk what counts)

What was the last book you read?
I don't remember

What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary?
my first reaction was "I don't know" and that makes me think.... "I don't know" probably IS the most used words in my vocab or "oh" or "what"

Totally relate to every word. Just silent because I have nothing valuable to say. 2

1. What are some wrong assumptions people make about you? That I'm a nice person

Who assumed that? *bleh

[Witty_Sarcasm]

1. What's your favourite piece of stationary? Pens if that counts. Or else cute papers.
2. Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!) Lol they are alright. Never had any major issues with them.
3. What are some wrong assumptions people make about you? I've been called bimbo, demon, crazy, bitch, stupid, fat, ugly...well I guess some of them might be true anyway.
4. What was the last book you read? Not sure, it's been too long since I've been able to go to the library.
5. What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary? Maybe "yeah", don't know for sure.

 

[Sunspots]

Good job @Lux

It's a glorious day here today so I thought I'd bring along a BBQ and cook for everyone

What's your favourite piece of stationary?

Probably my notebooks although I don't like to use them in case I spoil them.

Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!)

I love looking at them but have a healthy respect for their pecking abilities.

What are some wrong assumptions people make about you?

I can often feel quite intimidated in groups of people I don't know very well so tend to keep pretty quiet. I've always thought they probably just think I am boring.

What was the last book you read

Overcoming Borderline Personality Disorder: A Family Guide For Healing and Change.

What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary?

It's probably of the four letter variety.

 

[Bergerac]

Thanks for the tag @Auri

1. What's your favourite piece of stationary? Gel pens
2. Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!) Not keen, but when I was a child, my Father was like the geese whisperer, so we'd be surrounded by a flock in no time, when visiting Stratford Upon Avon. So, you had to get used to them.
3. What are some wrong assumptions people make about you? That I'm quiet.
4. What was the last book you read? WW2 home front
5. What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary? Lovely

[Auri]

1. What's your favourite piece of stationary? Notebooks

4. What was the last book you read? Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici (non fiction)

[Road to Nowhere]

Baseball bat

2.Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!)

I like to feed geese and ducks, pretty much like all birds except seagulls and crows.

3.What are some wrong assumptions people make about you?

That I lack communication skills, life experience, intelligence, wisdom and knowledge that's what my SA brain tells me, I know this couldn't be further from the truth.

4.What was the last book you read?

Dave Mustaine's autobiography from Megadeth {mustaine}

I try not to swear a lot but probably Damnit, f@ck, son of a bitch, or c@unt

 

[Baywasp]

• Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!) I think they're cool but don't wanna get too close.
• What are some wrong assumptions people make about you? That I'm serious 100% of the time. People don't always understand when I'm making a joke. Likely due to the way I say it.
• What was the last book you read? Don't remember the last book I actually finished. Maybe Man in the Dark by Paul Auster. That's the last one that I put on my Goodreads account. But that was back in January. I've mainly been focusing on stuff for school lately.
• What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary? Something like "probably" or the phrase "I don't know" because I don't like to commit to things unless I'm fairly certain it's right.

Bought myself some Bold Party Blend Chex Mix today when I went to the pharmacy to pick up some prescriptions. I'll share with everyone.

 

[britishbloke]

Nice one opening the cafe @Lux bud. Cheers for the tag @Auri

1. What's your favourite piece of stationary? I used to really like fountain pens. I have plenty mini notepads... As a one size fits all, reminder for... All things..
2. Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!) Fond of looking at them, not so much up close. Swans especially.
3. What are some wrong assumptions people make about you? If they're good assumptions, they're wrong
4. What was the last book you read? Last proper long one? I know why the caged bird sings
5. What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary? Something with "bud" on the end of it

Cool cafe, congrats on opening your first one @Lux I hope you will open more in the future, these q's are very fun, here's my answers to them Oh & also thought I'd do some tags sorry if these ppl were tagged already: @Kiwi2016 @Tana @KM76710 @extraterrestrialone @DrownedFishOnFire @foreverforgotten @Sad Elf @AFlower @LonelyHiker @Blue Star @BlueGreen @RCee

1. What's your favourite piece of stationary?
My Disneyland pen that's 20 years old as of a couple months ago lol (don't think it even works anymore but I don't care about it cos of that I just think it's adorable, wish I coulda gotten it in all the colors they had but had a limited amt of $ to spend so oh well maybe someday if I find them on ebay I'll get the rest of the colors

2. Do you hate swans and geese or like them? (and why?!)
I like them cos I love birds, they're so funny, cute & adorable.
Also I love most animals anyway

3. What are some wrong assumptions people make about you?
That I'm "shy" but I completely understand cos when I don't know someone I think I must def. come across that way but what people see as "shyness" is actually just a mix of anxiety, self-doubt and lack of confidence. Once you get to know me you learn, I'm not really very shy at all lol. There's prob. other assumptions people make but I can't think of what they are. Kinda hard to know this anyway since I think you can only ever know what people tell you with this kind of thing overall.

4. What was the last book you read?
The Untethered Soul, for the millionth time lol (it's a great, non-fiction book that has extremely excellent advice in it imo, highly recommend it to everyone in the world).

5. What do you think is the most used word in your vocabulary?
The? Or maybe and? I dunno sorry. Lol some people put some hilarious answers to this one though! :p

Here's some treats from me to everyone here too, hope you like them!

(Chocolate churros omggggg yummmm lol)

(Rainbow pizza lol hope this will work...)

(Lol a Jabba avocado bread, so creative whoever did this!)

There's never a right or wrong way.
I like scrapbooking so anything to scrapbook with.
I love geese and swans. Swans and goslings especially. Just posted pictures of a swan I saw and her eggs! (Can send the link, not posting on here). I love watching them.
3. Some people think of me as really superficial, open, friendly and that's all there is. Some think of me as snobbish. Some think I'm stupid. Some think I'm way more intelligent and I insightful then I am. Don't think anyone has ever assumed correctly about me.
4. I'm hiding in shame because I can't remember. Oh, I do. It was am entire week ago...... Cathy Cassidy's chocolate box books. I like her books. I love childrens books.
5. I don't know if I have a most used word...

Great questions!!! Thanks for the tag
