False. My fear of flying trumps any curiosity about going places. I will fly when I absolutely have to, but the idea of planning on it for fun is anathema. Also, I'm happy in my own head - I just don't crave or need the stimulation that so many travelers love. That said, I do love road trips, and taking in new scenery that way.
False, and if i'm not mistaken i'm not really a fan of road warriors because a lot of the time when they cause accidents they are usually at fault but yet blame the other driver, or the people who complain that nobody uses their signal to indicate what lane they want to go into and here I am signalling away to get into a lane, but they don't move over because THAT IS THEIR SPACE DAMMIT AND THEY AIN"T GONNA MOVE FOR NO ONE bleh bleh blah and all that rot and then they complain when i start squeezing in, lose lose, good times,
at least when i drive semi ( actually known as tractors/ tractor trucks ) people tend to get out of the way, and other tractor truck drivers know whats up when they see you do silly tractor type driving maneuvers and they actually give you the space because they understand your maneuverability isn't the greatest
The next poster possesses some sort of driver's license that is beyond just a regular license ( aka trucking license, bus license, taxi ect... )
False. I have had insomnia since my teens. From the time I was 15 or so until about 10 years ago, I couldn't get to sleep at night. My internal clock had me wired like a vampire. Left to my own devices, I would go to bed at 4-5am and get up at 11 or 12 in the afternoon. Nothing could change this internal rhythm and it was hell because, when forced to function during conventional hours I felt like shit. While I couldn't get to sleep at night until the wee hours, once I was asleep, man did I sleep. Waking by any forced means (i.e. an alarm clock) made me feel physically ill. However, about 10 years ago it started getting easier to get to sleep at night. Then guess what happened: I started waking up early, in the middle of the night and not be able to get back to sleep. The story of my life, now.
False. I dream of course, but it's very rare I remember them. Funnily though, I actually woke up remembering fragments of a dream this morning; I think I was participating in some kind of Masterchef TV show or something. I recall frying some kind of vegetarian meatballs, for some unknown reason.
The next poster writes down their dreams and tries to interpret them.
So true. I'm a hospital doctor who has to work 24h shifts, night shifts, or early mornings, or other weird hours. Everybody said "you'll get used to it:" No way. I love the job. I hate the hours. My internal clock would make me stay up until 2 AM and sleep until 11 if only I could.
close but false, i never wear pants, in fact i believe that last time i wore pants was december 16th 2018 and i live in canada hahahaha, i only wear shorts, pants are just to tight an uncomfortable especially jeans, in fact i have a friend who must be mad because i sometimes see him at his own house, wearing jeans by choice, madness, absolute madness, even back in the day when i used to wear them, as soon as i got home, jeans came off
I used to wear baggy jeans constantly, and they remind me of my pre-transition life, when I didn't care about clothes. Now I kind of have to wear certain clothes to feel normal. These days, I cycle through a pink skirt, pink leggings, black sweatpants, and some skinny leopard print pants.
The trans flag stockings I stole from my girlfriend have now broken and I'm pretty sad about it. They were one of my favorite items.
I don't literally insist, but I consider them pants, sort of. I was actually disappointed, because when @sarevok57 said that he never wore pants, I thought he'd confess to running around in underwear or a kilt or something like that.
The next poster will tell us about their favorite board game.
Although no one likes playing with me because I am too good Most people quit after my first or second turn.
There are two tricks to scrabble. The first is playing the board and not your letters. The more coloured squares you hit with higher level letters, the more points will accumulate quickly, especially by combining it with the second trick. If you can prevent your opponent from getting DWS and TWS, and keeping vowels away from TLS tiles, your opponent won’t be able to score that high unless they start playing loose. Which opens up the board and allows you to get bingos by playing all your letters.
The second trick to Scrabble is not knowing the biggest words in the world, but all the smallest words in the world and play parallel to words instead of perpendicular. I call this playing tight.
So for example if the first word is ROPE, playing EDIT right under it for (EDIT, OD, PI and ET) scores you double points for all your letters and scores there word as well (minus any bonus titles). So ROPE (on a double word score would have 12. Playing EDIT would score 20, possibly 22 if the D hits a DLS). A player can then play PET under that (creating PETS, REP, ODE, and PIT) for 19 points or 31 if the P hits the TLS. This shows the benefit of the first trick. Playing a ‘P’ (worth 3 points) parallel on a TLS scores an automatic 18 points. Getting an X there (XI, AX, OX, EX) will score 48 for the X alone.
I even have scrabble fridge magnets that I get to fool around with when I am brewing up coffee. I like just making word squares out of them where there are 4, 4-letter words reading across and 4 4-letter words reading down in a square.
So ya! Scrabble!
The next person loathes word games and would rather play chess.
False. I love word games, especially puns, alliterations, and those ever so misleading double entendres and naughty jokes. I guess I'm a cunning linguist.
False. I was the class clown since nursery school. When I went back to grad school in my 30s I was STILL the class clown. If I decide to do a PhD, I'll be the class clown again, too.
The next poster spent a lot of time in detention during elementary school.
Umm... could you define "a lot"? I'm pretty sure it wasn't daily...
So, yes, TRUE. Mostly for talking back. Didn't stop in elementary school, either...
Every day in grades 7-12, before that I loved school and was very energetic. I was blessed with a memory that let me read a book once and score just enough points to get a decent grade with minimal effort. And since I'm a low-achiever, that was enough for me to browse through the last 6 grades of standard school only partially awake. In University I think I cut back my sleeping to no more than 20-25% of the classes, so a rather significant improvement. I also kept this up when I started to work and even managed to fall asleep on my very first department meeting, which of course made all my co-workers very happy!
The next person never finish a movie because they tend to fall asleep at the end.
false, i believe i have beaten IWD 2, 3 times at most, recently being a year or 2 ago and still not liking that game much over the years, hopefully that "enhanced edition" some of the forum members are working on, can make that game way more tolerable because to be honest i just find the game a giant slog to get through with very boring battles, i feel that when this game was made it was really rushed and it feels like it as well
the next poster tries to go to bed at a decent time but stays up past midnight because adulting is hard haha
True. I very rarely sleep before twelve. Though I'm lucky to live close to work so I can walk there in 15 minutes, thus I'm usually at work at a reasonable time even if I sleep late.
The next person have to commute to work 1 hour per way every day but don't mind because they love their home.
False. I have 15-20 minutes by car. I love my home, and the remaining time of the day is precious. Also, I already have to get up around 6 AM... I would only take a job more than 30 minutes away if there was no alternative.
The next poster has a pet with either more or less than four legs.
True! Though not kept traditionally. I've been encouraging jumping spiders to live around the house for over a year now. They are really smart and will stay away from people, and they tend to hang out at doorframes and windows outside, where all the insects come in. Its been a great partnership so far!
The next poster has a pet that changes the number of legs it has.
