I enjoy absorbing information about most thing, I think I find humans fascinating though: so many different ways of organising perceived reality and reading meaning into existence.
It’s both beautiful and desperately sad.

As an aside if you’re still around AprilR that description also fits the song you linked to on the “listening right now thread.” Thankyou for sharing.

Same question.
(Not sure if I’ve answered it though )

I think you did - the world is a strange, complex, sublime, abject and fascinating place, innit?

I'm intellectually very curious, hate gossip and intrusion.

What do you prefer, facts or speculation?

Just the facts, man ... just the facts.

Same question.

Pretty much. It can be fun to speculate for the sake of it but when that starts being passed as fact...

What do you think about assumptions?

I had a phase of large-scale world-encompassing speculative reading & thinking: it was one of the things I concluded was bad for me and left behind.
(I literally left the books in Yorkshire when I moved south, along with all my associated notepads)

I think assumptions are necessary to get a comprehensible thought-picture of anything: but to act on that though picture it’s best to regard assumptions as bridges over voids and fill those voids in with facts as much as is feasible before proceeding.

Same question.

Most assumptions people make about me are not true, this has done a good job of teaching me from a young age that you can't trust assumptions.

Same question, because I'm too lazy to come up with another.

Assumptions are for numpties

How do you feel about thunderstorms n lightning?

Bring em on!

same question

They’re very very frightening.

Same question

I'm suspicious of assumptions and there's also this



Oh, I love love love them

How about rain?

love the rain!

Candles(gentle mood lighting) or bright lights?

Definitely candles!
(Out of those two, house has fairy lights and lamps with dark shades in every room)

Same question.

I like candles, but we have a cat who would absolutely knock them over if given a chance. He's the sort of cat who, when told to leave something alone, will look directly at you and deliberately knock it over. No way lit candles would be safe to have around him.

Same question.

I have dimmers in every room(can’t handle bright lights) and fairylights in a few of the main rooms... love candlelight.

Great music and wine with friends or great music and tea/wine alone?

Great music and tea alone/with my wife.
Why would I want friends chattering away distracting me from the music? (Shudders)

Do you own a nightlight?
