Ah, and: yes... but I never use them (prefer inks)

I can't draw or paint (creatively) to save my life. I have a set of acrylic and leather paints for my hobbies.

It vastly depends on the genre of music, I enjoy both and each has its place.

Same q

Haven't thought about it this way: I have some beautiful ceramics from DDR too.

My exbf (now best friend) plays Spanish classical guitar. He actually has a PhD in composition. I love it. My nephew plays acoustic but also electric. I like that too. I like any guitar really.

same question

You seem to love music, Karamazov, is melomaniac an acceptable term in English for it?

Black and white on that one: either acoustic or full on metal distortion, not much of a one for any timbres in between.

Oh: I see, yes I’ve done them... but there are limits past which they become an irritant.

Haven’t come across it: I know there’s a book called “musicophilia” though.

Have you ever used the quote button just to find out how someone did a particular text effect?

I already know that but I've used it to identity pictures.

I asked before, but do you play a musical instrument?

I never thought of using the quote button for those reasons.

I don't play any instruments despite the cache in my house.

I learned organ and clarinet as a child, but didn't retain anything.

Do you have a wood burner in the house?

On a good day I’m an okey amateur on classical guitar,
Been attempting to compose a few miniatures recently: mostly just for the fun of thinking it through.

:lol: I used the quote button on one of yours to find out how to do this

No wood burner (no chimney for that matter)

No, but had in the past. I would be inconvenient where I live right now.

Do you have a (real) fireplace?

Yes and I'd like to light it now, but I don't know how long I'll be awake.

I have a real fireplace.

Have you ever made a "five year plan" or constructive plan for the future beyond finance?

No, never, too many variables and I've led a rather... adventurous life.

Same q

Edit: I've made "constructive" plans but don't like going further than one year and adjust as I go.

Never. I do financial investments and my mortgage is in terms, but I don't plan my life at all. Zilch.

Would you rather eat something you really dislike, or go hungry?

Yes, but we haven't used it... possibly ever. The chimney is badly in need of cleaning, and we never got around to getting someone in to clean it. Now we have boards over it. Before we put the boards there, we'd have the occasional bird come in through the chimney, and we'd have to shut the cat up in the pantry and open both the front and back doors and try to guide the bird toward one of them.

Oops, more people posted while I was typing that out. I would go hungry, because my body will refuse to swallow things I really dislike anyway (sometimes I gag, sometimes I just can't force my throat to swallow).

Same question.

I always eat. Get dizzy and headaches very quickly after I start to feel hungry.

Past midnight in my timezone... so I’m going to skedaddle now.
Nice freeform quizzing with you :)

Edit
needs a question to keep the thread going

Do you find food that’s red, but not hot weird?
