There are NO wrong answers, this is just a super silly, fun and easy list of questions that anyone lurking, stalking, or actively participating can take part in. I have done similar games/quizzes here before but this one is SUPER light hearted and perfect for a Sunday evening! Some questions are stupid, some are a little more introspective and some are more exciting, as always, answer 1, answer all! I know we can all be a little nosey at times and THIS will be the perfect way for us to get to know one and other a tiny bit better... Who's in? (At least one or two of you, I hope....)...BEAN WOULD LIKE TO KNOW....
I'll go first...duh. <3
NO pressure to answer them all...But I do hope you have fun with at least a few of them! Looking forward to seeing your responses!
What does an average weekday morning look like for you? Wake up...groggily...sometimes a walk (mostly in the summer) a strong coffee, music on and a shower. What is your default "I cannot be asked to cook" meal? Noodles, fried egg....soup and a toastie...chicken rice bowl...(I love to cook so this one is a lil harder for me to answer.) What’s a small habit you don’t think about, but would notice if it was gone? Listening to music as I get ready in the morning. Well...It's either a playlist or a podcast and I feel this sets me up for the day...without my music/coffee rotation I would be a grumpy mess for the majority of the day. Oh and my daily afternoon walk. THIS I could NOT go without...cheaper than therapy and more things to look at so its a win win
Is there a food you don't eat/never order, no matter how popular it is? Mmmm....probably fish and chips? I mean, I have eaten it many times but its never EVER the first thing to come to mind...that and KFC or Burger King, I don't eat either of those. Maccies all the way IF I am going for fast food. Do you prefer a quiet night in? Or an evening out? A quiet night in...with wine and good snacks. (Contrary to the belief of others I assume haha) Cats or dogs? (answer this one...very carefully) For me its both but my cats are my furry four legged humans....
What’s the last thing you cooked or made that you were super proud of? (Bonus points if you share pics) Red wine and caramelised onion sausages with mash and greens. Unfortunately this got DEVOURED, no pics...bonus points lost.) What’s one thing people often get wrong about you at first? First? That I am a loud, extroverted weirdo with a FANTASTIC taste in music..okay maybe not the last part BUT....I come across quiet shy and reserved because I don't tend to trust people and open up easily...BUT...once you get to know me god DAMN does the weird come out.
What’s a very small thing that can ruin your mood disproportionately? (The sillier the answer the better.) People standing to close to be in a queue...Loud chewing and swallowing, followed closely by knives and forks scraping on plates/teeth... EW eat carefully please...Drinking from a cup at someone else's house that tastes like soap or dust (RINSING EXISTS...), Bin bags ripping when you try to carefully open the first one in a roll.... What’s something you refuse to buy the cheap version of? Butter, olive oil and perfume. What’s a sound you either love or absolutely hate? LOVE brown noise. What’s a small thing that instantly improves your mood? A debrief with friends. TEA. Favourite current tv show/book/movie Well I would say Stranger things but that is ALL over now. Reading: Alchemised and the Secret Life of Addie Larue side by side. What is a compliment you love receiving?Urgh, You know me, I love all compliments...but the best are those that I can tell are thoughtful, not generic and tailored just to me <3 What are you most proud of currently? The work and commitment I have to my degree for sure!

Thankyouu for answering these and stepping out of lurker mode!Catching up on the thread ... personal mental care should always come first. That's just my opinion and glad to see you doing it!
If you enjoyed Cards Against Humanity you should try the Tales version. It's basically dirty mad-libs. New Years Eve was a blast!
I'm a lurker (social introvert even online) so here goes!
What does an average weekday morning look like for you? The snooze button gets smacked several times before a fast shower and a quick dash to work.
What is your default "I cannot be asked to cook" meal? Anything that involves baking. I'm a chef trained in classic French cuisine. I can't bake my way out of a wet paper sack.
Do you prefer a quiet night in? Or an evening out? Quiet night in definitely! I get to concentrate on those I'm with without any distractions.
What’s the last thing you cooked or made that you were super proud of? Thanksgiving dinner
What’s one thing people often get wrong about you at first? People think I'm chill and happy.
Cats or dogs? Both but right now my Yorkie is the bestest boy ever!
What’s a very small thing that can ruin your mood disproportionately? The sound of someone chewing with their mouth open.
What’s something you refuse to buy the cheap version of? You might think it's food related, but all food either cheap or expansive has a different taste of its own that can be enjoyed. So I would have to say I won't buy cheap socks.
What’s a small thing that instantly improves your mood? A text from my best friend who I rarely get to see.
What’s a sound you either love or absolutely hate? LOVE the sound of a running lawn mower!
What are you most proud of currently? Being back in school and hating the B I recently got in my last class.
Favourite current tv show/book/movie - Notting Hill & Conan the Barbarian (old I know, still great), Fringe, and whatever I'm currently reading is my favorite. We Who Will Die is next in the massive queue.
The thoughts going thru my head, both of them. Now how am I going to get my heart beat to slow down?
I wish I had someone to make me a coffee in the Am. I may need to invest in one of those alarm clock coffee machine thingy miggigies!

I recommend the getting the coffee maker with that will brew your coffee in the morning. You can go straight from bed to a cup of coffee/tea in the moring. The one you posted looks great.I wish I had someone to make me a coffee in the Am. I may need to invest in one of those alarm clock coffee machine thingy miggigies!

It does like you have super busy mornings! At least you wake up quickly
I SO agree on the music front…loud heavy metal for me in the mornings ESPECIALLY in a car is almost as good as coffee… though I doubt very much that that is the vibe you go for… in fact… what’s on your morning playlist?
I have to say there’s a fine line between confidence and cockiness… slightly more insecure people can get the two mixed up because they feel somewhat jealous of the way you hold yourself. I say as long as you’re not rude with it you’re confident. And not cocky.
There’s definitely a fine line between confidence and cockiness. People who are a little insecure can mix the two up because they’re uncomfortable with how confidently you carry yourself. As long as you’re not rude about it, that I think… without having met you, is confidence and not cockiness.![]()

Broccoli is an ELITE veggie. It can go with almost any meal, ever!I love broccoli, especially raw in a salad. I would cut of pieces in my garden and eat it. I must be a heathen. I never heard tender stem broccoli.
