I used a lot of mnemonics, and made big poster board study charts with different colours of markers for different ideas.

I could remember things in a spatial-visual way because I knew what colour they were and where they were written.

I was a nervous wreck with exams, and always more comfortable writing papers.

Did you have pets as a child?

Yes, I had pets. We took the time to gradually introduce our dog and cats to each other.

Do you feel that the purpose of .............this discussion thread 'Interview The Person Below You' is a good WP "ice breaker?"

There were family cats.
There were gerbils... wow, I just had a memory of being very small and very agitated in school because I thought my mum was going to give the gerbils away.

Never had a pet that was mine as a kid.

I was thinking earlier today that it’s a nice way for us to talk about our lives in a judgement-free environment.

Same question.

It's a very nice way to "meet" people. It's incredible the details I remember about some members, like the fact that Istomin can't stand the smell of cumin. 8O

I've made quite a few WP friends on Interview, as well as Two Truths and a Lie.

Have you ever had déjà vu?

Not for quite a while, but yes I've experienced it many times.

Nice to meet you Handa Rei.

Tell us three of your best qualities!

Oversharing.. Over emphasizing.. Easily forget boundaries in conversation or writing

Panicking and being anxious n losing track of things.. even getting dressed is a bit of an ordeal

Unable to forget bad things that happened to me or others.

Same q

It's nice to meet you too IsabellaLinton.

It took me so long to think about 3 of my best :lol: here are 3 of my worst:

Indecisiveness

Self-doubt/Lack of social confidence

I tend to let my room get very messy.

Same question.

My three worst:

1) I'm similar to blooie because I overshare. Not just on here, but in real life. When I was working I would infodump on colleagues far too often. In my Developmental History I called it "Oversharing and Undercaring". I don't mean that I didn't care. I mean that the people I worked with didn't care, and I had no idea. I'm much better now, because I'm basically reclusive and mute. That solves that problem!

2) I'm similar to blooie because of PTSD about bad experiences and legal matters. I can't unloop those thoughts.

3) I'm similar to Handa Rei because I'm notoriously indecisive about everything except ethics.

Choose someone you love or have loved.

What are their best qualities?

I never see you overshare here you are like Bookayasha (Booyakasha?) in that it seems your mind edits everything and formulates it in a succinct way.

Someone I love.. Irene the nurse

1. Hard-working. Never skimped .. Did everything above and beyond out of pure caring and sense of duty.

2. Honour. Bcuz she took on the burden of being a breadwinner not only for her immédiate family but also her niece..

since her dad had left them ..
and she struggled greatly to this day she lives here withoyt family just for their sake

she said she worked at McDonald's in the day and hosoital at night at the beginning.. She wd sleep in a back room in McDonald'sbefore her hospital shift since they were right next to each other.

(she told me she believes she has Autism.. Which makes sense to me...) Made big sacrifices and continues to. So she honours her family and clients

3. Funny. Good sense of humour.

Same Q

(( Nurse Irene )) and (( Booya )) :heart:

I feel like I ramble too much about my life on here.

Someone I love: My nephew who my brother and I adopted from adverse conditions that I won't describe because of his privacy.

1) He works hard for everything he gets and does. He's travelled most of the world without money or a plan, just adapting, taking jobs and improvising as he goes. He's been destitute but never told us or asked for help because he believes in independence and self-motivation. He never gives up. He is full of hope, determination and more strength than I could muster.

2) He forgives and forgets. His bio family has done terrible things but he loves them anyway. He was injured in a random attack of violence, but he forgives those people as well. He seeks joy rather than dwelling on trauma.

3) He's extremely talented in music, sports, comedy, and acting.

He's my boy. I love him with all my heart.

same question

^ wow.
He operates with
Spirit = 100%,
Mind = 100%


Thanks for the hug for Irene.

She had said the only way I could repay her (after I kept bringing it up and asking) was to raise the new baby (new at the time)
to be a lawyer and brainwash him so he focuses on being rich...
so he is able to get her an apartment in Paris, which overlooks the river, when he grows up. :lol:
