I really hope this is not true, but I feel the same way. I've read all of Carly's posts.. this doesn't feel like her. |

I tried hard to get a video of it with my gopro and pics with my Canon...... Turned out meh. My settings were whacked.. I kept trying to chase settings as it got later but I gave up and just tried for raw video from my canon.

| Night dweller all my life. First I used to run away as a child and stay out all night till the police brought me home. Then as a teen I used to just ride my bike all night while the city slept. Then I drove around all night, avoiding police and exploring, talking skip on the CB, going to coffee shop... |

| I really like traveling and discovering new-to-me things. I did a lot of global travel when I was younger, mostly tropical but also a few European countries. I even had a small fixed wing aircraft (VFR) license for a few years. Could not afford to maintain it so I let it lapse. I am very glad I had ... |

| All the time. I've always assumed it is due to facial blindness (I can never remember faces, I just remember other cues like gait, smell, postures, clothing style, voice). I always get surprised at how I look in the mirror - because I cannot internalise that it is "me" looking back. Make ... |

| Everyone biffs it into a ditch at least once in their lives. The more you drive the more comfortable you will become behind the wheel. As others have said, go practice spinouts, donuts, recoveries, ebrake turns, general hoonage in a huge empty parkinglot the next time its really slick out. Choose on... |

| One bedroom bungalows. They exist. Not where I live (Canada). The houses are obscenely big... and even more obscenely expensive! The only ones that come close to that size are in trailer parks. That's not entirely true… especially not for all of Canada. Small towns still have plenty of small homes.... |

| I like my living area to be around 18C to 20C Out doors. I hate the cold. I live in a place that gets cold enough to kill, quickly, a full grown human if left unprotected. Could enough sometimes that frostbite (real frostbite, not just cold fingers) can happen in a couple of minutes. I makes my skin... |

| Not a fan of the ASMR videos, they do little for me. Other random things do it though. I HATE feeling like my central nervous system is taking high voltage jolts just because of minor sensory input. By minor I mean, I have "green" hard drives that park the read/write head and stop the spin... |
