@Oxymoron6demon

Aw those animals sound fabulous! I've seen that some people like having dermatographia, do you? Ohh reading and writing sound like it's fun for you! And you're artistic with music and art, I'm jealous! (You have to keep this on the down-low but teenies are pretty cool). I'm glad you enjoyed this, thank you for participating!

OMG I saw the oreo cookies on the title and clicked the notification. Good thing I don't eat strawberries, heh.

3+4+0=7

1. Nu strawberries

2. I've kind of subscribed to all sub-communities' forums, but I click on the notifications only when I see oreos. jk jk

3. My first role on 7Cups was a discussion writer of the Anxiety Support team.

4. There is a reason I picked 3 cookies from the bowl and 4 from the plate... I imagine the plate square!

5. I love cats

6. I, more than often, sing without noticing it.. while walking, on the bus, definitely at home, more when it's raining.

7. @rebecca947 I'll join the directionally-challenged team xD I blame confusing right from left on being left-handed, but then again I got lost every day for two weeks trying to get home from my uni.

@rebecca947

@Feathersfall

I hope you're okay after getting COVID! I have a secret sweet tooth too, but it's a shame you can't eat boxed chocolates! Birds really are fabulous, and having a twin sounds so cool! Thank you for participating!

@Feathersfall

I hope you're better now! *sending infinite hugs*Purple heart

Yayyy-a fellow "not a huge fan of strawberry"? And I love birds too, although I'm more inclined towards the crows~ (points at pfp)

@24Help1

1. How many Oreos would you take from a never-ending bowl?
Well-my answer is most certainly not an accurate representation-but considering that I could take how many ever I wanted-I would probably be content with 4.
(One would definitely not want to end up with a condition as grievous as the havoc-wreaking Oreo burnoutDizzy)

2. How many cookies (of your preferred flavor) would you take from a never-ending plate?
A mere 2...Nay, 3...Um, scratch that-6 (I think you see where I am headed)
.
.
.
6.

3. How many strawberries would you eat from a never-ending box?

Ooooh-I am not a huge fan of strawberries (high-five @VickyP), so I'm going to stop with 1.

So- 4+6+1=11 Astonished

(How did I get here? Redoes the Math)

Ah well-it is what it is. Here goes:

1. I'm an incredibly confused person irl, and so whenever someone asks me for my opinion-I usually go "I dunno". I end up opposing my own opinion when I do have one, and for the sake of mental equilibrium-I try and refrain from having any opinions at all(except "No pineapples on my pizza", of course!).

2. I love the stage. In no way do I mean to say that I am a good actor, but I am extremely free in expressing myself, when I am on stage-it's just a strangely wonderful feeling.

3. I love walking around in areas I am not familiar with. Or taking the local trains or buses to other places!

4. I work best-creatively, after I have overslept (>9.5 hours).

5. Though Tamil is my mother-tongue, my accent while speaking it is a lot different, from how it is locally spoken. Hence, before I ask/state something-in the language, I'm super anxious about my enunciation.

6. I involuntarily bow while thanking someone. It's a superpower at times.Winking

7. I observe the birds and animals in our neighborhood keenly. Lol, I have been fortunate-to notice some super funny incidences involving a squirrel and a crow.

8. I sometimes lose interest in reading mid-way, even if I was extremely interested in the beginning. It rarely has to do with the content.

9. I love playing the air-electric-guitar~(Who am I kidding? I do not know how to play a guitar)

10. If you're my neighbor, you've likely heard my singing voice (*hides*)

11. Well, I don't have any roles here. But, I never knew what the chatrooms were for, until after I had spent a looooong time here! I didn't know the forums either!


Thank you for tagging me, @optimisticMagic0014 !!Purple heart

and

Thank you for this wonderful post, Mary!!! (You had me thinking quite a bit!) Purple heart

@bouncySalamander26

Don't worry, 11 isn't the most that we've gotten haha. You may get backlash for the no pineapple on pizza ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I understand the bowing if the stage is your home! Your guitaring and singing skills are probably perfect for that! Traveling is very interesting, but you wouldn't want to go to new places with @rebecca947 ! Birds are very interesting, but I can never tell them apart. Sleeping that much is truly a skill! It took me like 2 years to come out of my PM hiding and go into the community, you aren't alone in that one!

@24Help1

I dare say it isn't.

Ooooh-did you just manage to rationalize why I bow-Astonished I never thought of that! And oh, I love getting lost-so, i absolutely would not mind that trip with @rebecca947~

And haha, I'm super-glad to know I'm not the only one who took as long to come out of hiding!

Thank you for responding, and have a wonderful day!

bouncySalamander26 July 25th, 2020

@rebecca947

Hehe, as I think that I am lost when I'm actually walking on the street, the opposite way-I would love to get *legitimately lost* xD

Are you sure about the story? (If you've changed your mind, skip the next four paragraphs)

There was this one time when, a crow decided to sit on the same branch a squirrel was just casually *sniffing* on. For some reason, the squirrel was super-annoyed that the crow was sitting right in front of it-and after considerable thought (and giving the crow the benefit of the doubt),it ran right at it. Ideally, the crow should have flown off to another tree (there are atleast 60 in the vicinity)-but no, this crow was different Smiling with horns

It just hopped on to the adjacent branch.
It was super-amusing to watch the squirrel run back to the main branch, change direction and charge at the crow again, only to have the crow hop on to the next, adjacent branch.

This recurred multiple times, and each time the squirrel would have to scurry all the way back, do a U-turn to the new branch, and run at the crow, while the crow would just fly over to the edge of the next branch, super-confused as to why the squirrel was running at it. At the end, the squirrel gave up, and the crow, now annoyed at the lack of attention it was receiving, left to a whole another tree.

(The story was originally much longer, but I had to compress it. And, disclaimer: The narrator does not make any attestation as to the veracity of the feelings described in the story- that either the crow or the squirrel, were feeling)
