Get to know you!

Mine's not nearly as sentimental haha but it's probably my two bass guitars 🎶
 
My prized possession is an Ace Frehley guitar pick that came in my copy of his “Space Invaders” CD.
 
Man tough one!!! I'm not massively attached to my things! I have been given gifts and stuff that I love but I don't treasure any particular item hmm

Really gotta pass on this (but posting anyway because it's interesting realising I don't have one xD )
 
My family have not been the sentimental types, so I don't have many old passed down items or anything like that, so mine is probably the poinsettia plant I got in the christmas of 2020, like I bought it for about £1 and I've just been slowly growing it for the last year and a half and like i just love watching it grow, and seeing how it develops.

I do get though that picking a plant that could die as a prized possession is probably a bit......dangerous, but I love it.
 
Mine *should* be my grandma's rings but I left them at my dad's house, same with my signed copy of Encyclopedia Eorzea (the FFXIV lorebook). So I think I'm in the same kind of boat as Claire! :lol:
 
Inspired by the current shouty conversation :p -

What's your favorite tool or tip to help limit procrastination/distractions?
 
If anyone has good advice I'd love to hear it :r I've been a chronic procrastinator since I was a little kid. It's been compounded in my adult life with health issues so I have like...no tips for it. If I'm interested in something I'll push it through but it's not a reliable means of motivation, lol.

(For instance, I am here instead of doing work. :lol: )
 
tbh, my brain can get overwhelmed very easily if i have a number of tasks, and I certainly struggle to start things. But one trick i find that usually helps ease my mind, is to do things for ten minutes. Set a timer and do one thing for ten minutes, then the next for ten, and then the next for ten and so on. It usually helps my mind settle, and I start getting things done. It's slow but it works for me, and eventually I'm just working on what I need to.

Pretty much what I was going to say!!
But just... telling myself I only have to do a thing for 10 minutes. Or I only have to do the first little step, and that's it. Usually I end up doing more than I planned, but knowing I only have to do one tiny thing, or ten minutes' worth of it, makes it easier to start
 
It's been a while!

Here's a new question- Do you enjoy riding roller coasters?

Generally, no. I'm scared of heights so I have to work up a lot of nerve to ride one, so I generally prefer other types of rides at amusement parks or carnivals.
 
Short answer, yes. Long answer, I don't know if I can ride them anymore as I've developed significant motion sickness over the years. I haven't tested it out because I'm not keen on getting sick at 80 mph :teehee:
 
I love them. I ride them every chance I get. Even if they give me significant headaches or whiplash, totally worth it. The more inversions/speed, the better.
 
I'm in a similar boat to Amanda I think? I like them but I don't know how well I'll handle them anymore, I remember going to Dreamworld and trying to do all the thrill rides in a day and feeling so sick from the adrenaline rush :lol: I'm scared of falling but okay with heights, weirdly enough. But its been so long since I've been on one, I'll have to go again sometime.
 
I love them though they do make me very nervous! I'm very small and often don't quite fit in the safety harnesses so it can make things kinda intersting...
There wasn't a tonne in NZ growing up (if I remember correctly Rainbows End, NZ's only theme park, only had one? I think when I was a kid. Maybe two), but I did once ride that one roller coaster 13 times in a row.

As someone who once had someone puke in my hair from behind on in one of those pendulum rides, I appreciate your restraint.
 
I once lost my shoe in one of those roller coasters in which your feet just hang free beneath you. I now always double check if my shoes are properly tied.

I love riding roller coasters though

Did they retrieve it for you or did you have to go without it all day? :o

They did eventually. It took them a while to find it because it had fallen into a bunch of bushes, so I did have to walk without it for a little bit.
 
No, I'm the bag guard for my friends when they ride. Those spinning Waltzer rides are the very worst though, I'd take a rollercoaster over one of those!

Omg Kris, no! That is horrific!
 
I love rollarcoasters though I haven't been to a theme park in years (like ten years) somewhat unsurprisingly given that theme parks are an outdoors activity they aren't super common in Scotland.
 
Love rollercoasters! Working at a theme park also means getting to ride them for free :r
 
Actually found this while I was visiting my parents the other week; me, age 8, exemplifying my love of rollercoasters at.. Jazzland, New Orleans I think.

Hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one here!!! I'm not really a rollercoaster fan!

Too intense for me :lol:
 
Rollar coasters are a big yes.
My last holiday I went to Brisbane and we went to the movie world. it is a shame that the hypercoster wasn't open but I loved the superman coaster and the scooby doo one (fun fact there is a spider in there that was part of the set for chamber of secrets)
 
Okay, New Question.

What is your favourite misheard song Lyric? And do they make the song better?
