If you could stop one habit of yours cold turkey, what would it be?

[Turnip Head]

It's not a simulation but there are immutable rules that are discoverable.

What is the most "real" experience you've ever had?

[reywaS]

something that seems completely impossible outside of the experience. I was laying on my bed with the window open and music playing..not thinking of anything in particular. The music cut off and it was really quiet in the house. all I could hear were outside noises that were in the distance. I started concentrating on the noises with everything i had....was completely organic and not forced at all. All of a sudden, at least in my head, i was not in my room anymore but i was floating through the air like a ghost. no one could see me but i could see and hear the noises i was concentrating on before. I chalked it up to being in between sleep and awake only i didnt feel like sleep or dreaming at all. I have had lucid dreams and sleep paralysis before and this was way way way different. It was the craziest thing ive ever experienced in my life.


Do you believe in alternate dimensions and otherwise seemingly nutso things?

[S~V~S]

Just like in the past when things like thunder were explained by things like, "The Gods are bowling", becasue the people of that time did not have the knowledge set to understand the scientific explanation, I think many things we view as paranormal or seemingly nutso will someday be scientifically verifiable things.

What is something you like about yourself today, that you disliked at some point in the past?

[reywaS]

(side note..i do not have such faith in "scientific" explanations. I don't think all things CAN be explained "scientifically" and not every "scientific" explanation offered is legitimate. yeah i said it, scientism seems like a religion sometimes.)

Anyway, i used to dislike the fact that if I always said what i thought it would be a big turn off for certain people. Now I love that my honesty irritates some people. Its a great filtering system.

which accent is the most pleasing to the ear? world wide choice

[S~V~S]

I love the Irish accent, especially when spoken by a woman. It's so soft.

What's a thing about you that would surprise people?

[Epignosis]

Old friends of mine have been discovering and being blown away by the fact that I can talk circles around them with regard to baseball, football, and basketball. I had zero interest in sports the first 28 years of my life or so.

What motivates you more than anything?

[S~V~S]

Learning new things. I get bored fairly easily, so I am motivated to learn and do new things.

Do you like wall to wall carpets?

[reywaS]

Sometimes. Great for bedrooms and bonus rooms. I love me some hardwood and tile too though.


Wall color: Pastels or vibrant paints?

[S~V~S]

Depends on the room, but overall, vibrant.

What's the stupidest things you ever did to impress your friends?

Spoiler: show

i would never laugh, good sir. My first vehicle was this but almost the same color as the car you pictured there:



I paid 125 bucks for it. It ran for 5 years. Oh and it had this issue of the horn getting stuck. It was as bad as it sounds.

The dumbest thing I ever did to impress my friends was apply "sun in" to my hair a week or two before school started back. My hair went from being dark brown to yellow. I thought it was gonna be more blonde....nope it was yellow. first few weeks of 8th grade were especially rough on me mentally.


what was the first especially embarrassing thing that happened to you as a youth in front of the opposite sex?
