  1. Happened to me today, I just got up. I'm not great at falling back asleep once awakened.
  2. Don't like it, and to be honest I sort of resent people who do. From personal experience I can say that the people who love it the most should be consuming it the least, and I think if you drink it more than once in a blue moon then it shows an incredible lack of self-control and self-respect.
  3. I lift weights most days, I find it's great for reducing stress. I don't train for size/aesthetics specifically, more just for general fitness
  4. I thought I was the only one who could do this! A few times I've been having a nightmare and told myself "ok, I've had enough of this, it's time to wake up now" and I do. I had no idea that counted as lucid dreaming.
  5. Last person I texted was a male friend so I'm gonna say no on that one
  6. I don't think so, but I have no idea what people think a David looks like. I've been told I suit the name Henry before, but I can't see it myself
  7. You're a pencil so trying to think of an excuse would be pointless
  8. Always with my head. I'd rather suffer temporarily with a difficult decision but prosper in the long run than do something which feels good at the time but could lead to unforeseen misery.
  9. Your in-depth results are: Slytherin - 15 Gryffindor - 10 Ravenclaw - 9 Hufflepuff - 5
  10. In terms of international celebrities, I have met the metal band Children of Bodom (RIP Alexi) after a concert in 2012 (? might've possibly been 2013). I have also seen Brian May (guitarist for Queen) walking into a bookstore IRL, but I didn't want to be creepy and follow him in. I guess that doesn't count as meeting someone. One of my older cousins is frequently on BBC News (I'm being deliberately as vague as possible here), which is the largest TV/internet news platform in the UK, so I will say I have met her (there's your only clue!). Most people who regularly/semi-regularly watch BBC News in the UK will probably have seen her or heard her name, but abroad I doubt anyone would know her. But anyway, since we are cousins, that doesn't really count
  11. My Dad would probably be the biggest one, as he got me into several hobbies that are a large part of my life today (weightlifting, playing guitar, some computer games) and he has always championed the importance of hard work in life, which is a principle I abide by and respect immensely. That being said, my Dad lacks a lot of self-discipline and this is something incredibly important to me, so in that sense he is also a "reverse role model", in that I look at him and see what I do not wish to be (in that regard; he is a better man than me in many ways too - he is a lot more compassionate than me, for example). Other than that I take inspiration/lessons from successful family members and some friends, both ones I have met in-person and over the internet. I have found that most people in the world probably have something to teach you, even if it is something you feel may not be that pertinent to you. There are lessons to be learned everywhere you go in life.
  12. I don't have "depression", but when I feel sad I lift weights and it honestly does wonders to clear my head and get me "back in gear" again. If I were clinically depressed I doubt that would be enough, I have a lot of respect for people who manage to overcome true depression and not simply some momentary sadness like we all experience.
  13. Had it three times. The first time was the original variant back in March 2020 and that gave me a high temperature, dry cough and muscle aches in my legs. The subsequent two times I had no symptoms, I was just slightly tired. I'm proudly unvaccinated and proudly anti-Covid restrictions, just open the world up again.
  14. Peace and solitude. I had an almost entirely free day today and I got to spend it alone and in silence, and I loved every second. I don't often get significant amounts of time to myself these days, so I am always happy to have a few hours to be alone when I can find them.
  15. I only have one brother, and I don't think he's annoying. He's a lot younger than me but I have a lot of respect for him, his head is screwed on in the right place and he'll grow up to be a great man someday. As for cousins, it varies. Most of my cousins aren't annoying although I have one who is extremely loud (he's nice, but irritating to be around for this reason) and one who is a little unstable, so I try to avoid him as much as possible.
  16. I hate Twitter with all my heart. It gives people with absolutely nothing worthwhile to say a platform where they can voice their opinion and feel important. I came off almost all social media a long time ago, but Twitter is the one I especially look back at with the greatest amount of disgust.
  17. Strength: Confidence in my own abilities. I don't doubt myself, ever. Weakness: Lack of empathy. It's something I'm working on!
  18. I'm 25, and it said my mental age was 25. Impressed.
  19. People who bite their nails. I'm sorry if you're reading this and you do it, but I just can't stand it.
  20. Neutral, probably. I obviously *try* to be a good person, but I have moments of getting angry/dismissive/etc, ignoring people and just generally being more inconsiderate than I probably should. It's an uphill battle, as I generally tend to not empathise that easily with others, and often just have to fake it when I'm around people.
  21. Super stoked for Decapitated's new album, if this track is anything to go by.
  22. I prefer eating alone. I don't want to have to waste energy talking to people when there's food right in front of me
  23. I deadlifted 225kg (500lbs) in March last year (I've lifted some weights for years, but around this time I was considering entering strongman competitions although ultimately decided against it), so it'd have to be that. I was heavier and stronger at the time though, almost certainly couldn't still pull that weight today. In terms of lifting something above my head, it'd be an 85kg (188lb) overhead press. I did that around a similar time to my deadlift above when my bodyweight was at its peak, but unlike the deadlift I think I would have a reasonable chance at still pressing that weight or near to it today, my shoulders have always been pretty strong.
