I’m sad to see the general chat over here so quiet lately, so would anyone wanna play a game? We dis these sorts of things in my old school placement at the start of every year so bew admissions would find friends with something in common and I thought maybe old & new users here could have fun with it too!
All you have to do is ask the user who’ll post under you a question, and answer it yourself. ex. “What’s your favorite place to be? Mine is the barn!” or “What did you have for dinner last night? I had pasta.” Feel free to start a conversation with whoever answers you, just make sure you quote or tag the person so we know it’s your own convo and not for the next poster.
If you want you can boldface your question and answer so it’s easier to see in case the thread gets a little messy. I’ll start!
What’s the last song you listened to? I just find DBS Out by Days N Daze!

I just listened to Be The One by Dua Lipa. I went to see her in Ruisrock Festival in Turku just a few weeks ago and that song is what reminds me of her amazing gig, the sunshine we had and all the colourful festival people having a great time!
What's your favourite piece of clothing at the moment? I love my blue denim skirt!

What discipline do you ride? (If you don't ride, what discipline do you want to try?) I'm currently doing show jumping and dressage, but I think I might stick to dressage Yay for choosing dressage! Way too many people go for show jumping, haha. I personally don't ride a lot at the moment, but I love dressage and I'm hoping I could compete in low-level shows one day.
As for the latest question, I would love to go to see Scotland and/or Iceland. Both have phenomenal nature, beautiful scenery and a lot of history. For a smaller destination, I would really like to see the Three-Country Cairn live.
What do you usually have for breakfast? I usually make some sandwiches and have coffee to drink - I'm really bad at preparing a fulfilling breakfast! I'm better at lunches and dinners lol.

For breakfast I usually prepare something quick like cereal or coffee if I'm in a hurry, but on my days off I like to have a bigger meal like french toast or pancakes.
What is your favorite video game & why?

Love that this is taking off! Besides TS3, though when I had my game last it was giving me nothing but problems, I'm not that much of a gamer. Growing up we were pretty deep into poverty and moved aroubd between shelters a lot so I was pretty fortunate to have my two stuffed toys. I didn't even live in a house with a TV until I was 14! When I had my PC, I was starting to play old ROM hacks of the OG pokemon games--R/B/Y, G/S/C, and R/S/E (gen I-III). I absolutely love them! I never knew the anime or manga, though I was a kid at the right time (born '94), so the games are all I know and I'm still way behind, but I've been learning more about the later generations on Bulbapedia via my phone since selling my PC, and I'm so ready to jump back in when I can settle down in a stable house again and get a new computer. I might even look into getting a used 2DS someday to play the later games, when the prices on used consoles/games go down (they're still $200+ for the DS and $35-50 for games RIP). Idk what draws me to them so much but I think it's the adventure and world building. I'm a writer more than anything else and I'm eager to join a written pokemon RP as soon as I have a computer again, because the sheer amount of lore and detail in these worlds and games is overwhelming and would be so much fun to play around with outside the boundaries of the core games. Is your current ES/EC/ESRPG stable your original, or did you ever revamp or totally restart? If so, what made you want to change direction? Barrhead School of Horsemanship will be my first stable when I can actually start making my stuff, but I've been planning my horses and sims out pretty extensively in spreadsheets to get ready. I'm already in love though so I don't think I'll ever end up restarting! (maybe downsizing though because I have 100 horses totally fleshed out in my docs already lol)

My current stables is not my original, but I've had this stables the longest and I plan on having it for as long as I'm in the community! I've restarted multiple times with different characters, but in the end when I switched to using some of my personal characters and making them in sims seemed to make me just click with the stables. I restarted because I just wasn't feeling the previous stables and characters. Though, I'd like to get a bit more organised with the stables, but I'm working on it!
What is your favourite band, and how did you get into them? My favourite band is Mumford & Sons and I've liked the music before I even knew about the band. Now I have a slight obsession with their music and the members, oops

Funny enough, I actually don't have a favourite band anymore. I was a hardcore One Direction fan when I was in secondary school, but nowadays? I never listen more than to a few songs from the same band or artist! However, I could mention Fall Out Boy because I like maany of their songs.
And coat colours? I love chestnuts. They're brilliant. So many different shades, the possibilities are basically endless!
What do you enjoy doing in your freetime during the summer? Since I'm working so much at the moment, I just like to lie outside in the shade and read a book while sipping some good drinks. We have a small beach of our own so I like to go swimming a lot, since the beach is only 500 metres away from our farm.

Right now I just like to sit at home in front of fan at days. In cooler nights I enjoy go for walk with dog.
What is your favorite season? Mine is absolutely winter. I love snow and cold, nature is so beautiful and I don't sweat like a pig all the time.

AUTUMN. Summer heat makes me pass out and I get cold urticaria in the winter. I love the breeze and shorter days, so fall comes before spring for me!
What’s the last band or artist you discovered you like? or, what’s the latest artist you’ve started listening to? For me it’s 13 & God. I came across Armored Scarves in a playlist radio and fell in love. I also started exploring Bat Country around the same time.

Tough question; I have read and adored plenty of books. Hmm. My top three are Atonement, by Ian McEwan, for the lusciousness of the writing (and the heart shattering denouement); The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, for the simplicity of the writing (hah), and the frustratingly wonderful fact that it shouldn't work but it does; and An Ideal Husband, by Oscar Wilde, which is brilliantly dry and sharp in its humour- and it's actually a play, so the fact it's coming almost exclusively through dialogue is something I, as a wannabe writer, find particularly impressive/interesting/inspiring. Honorable mention to Catch-22, by Joseph Heller. The first half of that book had me giggling in a few places. C:
What was the last thing that made you laugh? Was it a joke? Something your friend said? Your cat? A video compilation of people doing stupid things?
I was hanging out with some friends earlier in the evening and we were listening and dancing to a few throwback playlists ( like the dorks we are). Kind of hard not to laugh at (a) people who dance without skill but with enthusiasm and (b) the cringe-worthy songs we used to like???

Ooh yikes, I have been gone too long. Surprise homelessness sucks, and mental health sucks, and physical health sucks too. Like before I was drifting around but then all of a sudden I’ve been just legit sitting on the street in the same cardigan and jeans with just a little backpack and my purse stuffed with my meds and travel toiletries and gas station mixed nuts/granola bars/etc. for the last two weeks or so. But I’m trying! I’ve got my phone and charger, my friend in Wales is holding onto my important stuff from home for me, and there’s some new stuff in the works—hopefully. Can I do my favorite book too? I have so fxcking many! (&sorry ariadne!) • Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. I’m in recovery so honestly a lot of my favorite media is stuff like this, whoops 😬 • Watership Down and The Plague Dogs, both by Richard Adams • Haunted by Palahniuk • Post Office, Love Is a Dog From Hell, On Cats, The People Look Like Flowers at Last, All The Assholes In the World And Mine, Slouching Towards Nirvana, and pretty much everything else by Bukowski • Happy!, a fantastic miniseries of graphic novels by Grant Morrison (and the source of the new-ish SyFy show with Christopher Meloni and Patton Oswalt) • Felidae by Akif Pirinçci • I’m Not Sam by Jack Ketchum • Cows by Matthew Stokoe • Zoo by James Patterson • The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith • Crime and Punishment! I started producing a horse last year called Raskolnikov and it piqued my interest. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t read this sooner! • Crush by Richard Siken • Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo • Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace • The Metamorphosis by Kafka • The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks • When Rabbit Howls by Truddi Chase (I have DID irl so there’s a lot like this on my list) • Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut The last thing that made me laugh... I was just in the emergency room last weekend and I got to catch the new episode of Venture Brothers. I missed the first two of the new season because of my situation, so it wasn’t too clear what was going on, but damn that episode was still amazing and even though it had way more revelations and big reveals than laughs, I did really laugh a good couple times and that hasnt happened too much recently. (I loooove Vebture Bros like Id love my own child btw. guiltiest pleasure ever!) ummmm, questions questions questions Do you like standup comedy? and if so, who’s your favorite comedian? My favorite hands down is Bo Burnham, but I also love some smaller acts and creative groups like The Grawlix, Anthony Jeselnik, Joe Pera, Mail Order Comedy, Aisha Tyler, and Pete Holms!
