Ty for the tag @Champagne & yes I agree with the other user who said something about it, cool avatar
Christmas feels a bit surreal and out of place this year cos of how it's been but despite that I'm still looking forward to it. At least it is distracting if nothing else. Plus I get to see my sis which I always look forward to. I enjoy giving gifts and cards too. That's great you are done with your Xmas shopping, me too, got all my presents wrapped and most of my cards all done & ready to send out tomorrow too.

Do you have any babysitting stories when you were young?
Yes, many, but a lot of them were not really done "voluntarily" but more as a slave labor kind of thing. (long story)
So ya, it's not a thing I really like to even think about, let alone talk about. The ones where I got paid were fine though, none of them really stand out as anything major, whenever I was able to babysit & get paid for it I was just glad to be getting some extra $

Have you ever written a love letter?
Yes, and not just that but I signed it as a secret admirer and never revealed my identity to the person (didn't have the guts and pretty sure they weren't interested anyway so w/e it's history now as they say) and no sadly this isn't even something I can say I did "as a kid" cos I was in my 20's but ya I've always been hopelessly under confident in myself when it comes to men :/

What makes you very nervous?
Going out and having to be around people I don't know basically. Don't like being put on the spot either but I think I at least give a fairly convincing appearance of seeming like I couldn't care less about it when I am.

Have you ever thrown someone a party?
No, have helped people who are throwing one though.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Ughhh hate this q so so much lol no offense but ya I hated it all through school and hate it every bit as much now. My answer is the same as it ever was and probably ever will be - I.Have.No.Fucking.Idea.

Who is the happiest person that you know?
My sis, definitely. Well, she used to be a lot funnier and more fun, but I think she still seems pretty happy anyway. She def. has the best life of anyone I know I think anyway (best financial circumstances, good amount of friends, confident, healthy, balanced and overall positive lifestyle, ya I think she has it pretty good).

Oh Goodie...
As usual, I like to think of what background image would absolutely RUIN these quotes:

View attachment 40666 Well, I started making these, but I figured I didnt want to go too far on this, because my idea for this was to put it on the background of Neville Chamberlain shaking hands with Hitler as he signed over another country for "Peace".

View attachment 40667 This one was my real reason for not posting my versions, this was a guy wearing a truly rubbish wing suit about to "fly" off a cliff.

View attachment 40668 I simply dont know where I can get a stock photo of a positive HIV test, but I think you get the idea.

Psychology facts you might be interested in...

1. Marrying your best friend eliminates the risk of divorce by over 70%, and this marriage is more likely to last a lifetime.
2. Women who have mostly male friends stay in a good mood more often
3. Being alone for a long time is as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
4. Travel boosts brain health and also decreases a person's risk of heart attack and depression.
5. People look more attractive when they speak about the things they are really interested in

1) IT also increases your chances of ruining your best friendship from less than 1% to 30%...
2) I wonder why.... :P
3) Lesson learned, if a person smokes 14 cigarettes or less a day, it is safer to be their friend than not.
4) I have something for this, but it is too cynical I fear, so Im not going to say...
5) True, there is nothing more attractive than seeing someone's eyes light up, unless of course their interests are truly creepy or wrong...

Do you have any babysitting stories when you were young?

Nope.

Have you ever written a love letter?

Nope, I did write a poem about love, but it was an anxty and naïve sort of thing.

What makes you very nervous?

Any possibility of screwing up my future, by incorrect action, or inaction. I HATE not being able to predict the outcome of an action, youre supposed to choose based on BS info and then just be OK with the consequences???

Have you ever thrown someone a party?

Actually, no... thats an interesting gap in my life's experience that you have highlighted...

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I dont think you want me to answer that.

Who is the happiest person that you know?

I dont know many happy people.
