Yeah of course. I do and everyone else should. Not in a vain way, but at least making sure you're presentable should be considered completely normal.

Pretty good, although I sometimes wonder if I'm so excited about future plans and developments that I miss out on really fully enjoying the present. Every individual moment is fleeting and I'll never get it back again - what if I'm so fixated on planning to make everything in the future as good as it possibly can be that I just forget to live in the moment? Not sure if that's something I need to work on, or if it's just anxiety trying to stop me from getting stuff done. Pretty meaningless problem to have in the grand scheme of things but still...

Starting later. I regularly wake up at 6am without an alarm now, but when I was a teenager it felt like an absolute slog to get up even at 7:30. I'm really not even being dramatic, it was *so* difficult for me to not fall back asleep and if I managed not to I'd just doze off throughout the day since I was sleep deprived, even with 7-8 hours a night.

Anything alcoholic, or anything fizzy. I'm weird, I could happily subsist on water/milk/coffee indefinitely.

Let's see, 2018: I was more significantly more awkward then than now (yes that's actually possible, I promise), pursuing a career path I didn't enjoy (software development), I was in worse shape (not awful but not great either), I was still living with my parents, had a shitty car from 2010 and had never had a relationship that lasted longer than six months. All told my life wasn't the best back then. Not awful, but reflecting back like that makes me very grateful for where I am now. Here's to 5 years in the future!

One of the best death metal bands to come out of Finland, or anywhere really, in the last 20 years. The whole album (Heart Like A Grave) that this song comes from is incredible.

Decently accurate based on the descriptions OP provided imo. I'm not extroverted (choleric) and neither am I patient (phlegmatic) but otherwise I'm pretty much a perfect mix of the two. Don't identify with the other two temperaments at all.

I'd identify as libertarian before I'd identify as liberal or conservative. I think the government should be as small as possible and things should be, wherever possible, regulated at a local level by elected officials from within communities. There's probably a bit of overlap with both what people take "liberal" and "conservative" to mean in common parlance there - if you'd force me to pick one of the aforementioned then the truth is that it'd probably come largely down to the candidate.

Yeah, I usually have 3-4 cups per day. Usually black or with a small amount of milk.

Chocolate out of the list, but I'd rather just drink regular whole milk than any type of flavoured milk. I know, I'm weird

Aspiration. Someone who continually has the drive to better themselves and their situation will always have my respect.

I'm an accountant. I can't really see myself doing something else 5 years from now.

Hello once again, people of the internet

Feeling alright, but more contemplative than usual. I finished my master's degree two weeks ago, and have been enjoying the new free time that has afforded me. I'll be starting a new job in 3 weeks which pays significantly more than my current one and is actually in the industry I want to work in (finance), so that's exciting. I've purchased a coach to try and take my workouts to the next level now that I'll have increased time to do them. This morning, I found out that my ex-girlfriend has a new partner - we didn't really 'split up' so much as 'fizzle out unceremoniously' so it came as a surprise and it hurts, but I also acknowledge that I neglected her while working on the vast majority of the things I've listed above, so it's my fault for not properly prioritizing things in my life. I hope she is happy. It's always humbling when you turn a new corner in life and are so incredibly pleased with yourself and your accomplishments, only to be reminded that everything in life has a cost and that something has to be sacrificed for you to achieve your goals. Take nothing for granted, people - and don't end up sacrificing the wrong thing for the sake of your own ambition. Reading this back I sound like a 70 year old - I'm only 26 I swear!

Not really. I did when I was a kid, but these days I don't go any sweeter than fruit and I'd most often prefer salty snacks over anything else.

Feeling good. I've recently moved to a much quieter area, the weather's getting warmer, and new challenges and opportunities are entering my life and I'm feeling ready to meet them. Life is truly amazing.

Switzerland. No country in the world is perfect, but Switzerland comes pretty damn close - and it's notoriously difficult to gain residency there, so if the parameters of your question allow me to instantly obtain it then I can't see any reason why I wouldn't pick it.

Cold: Water Hot: Coffee I'm a pretty simple guy when it comes to drinks, all told.

Yes, it's my second best instrument after guitar. I should really devote more time to it, though - I see all these videos of incredible pianists on YouTube and wish I could replicate some of the things they play. I'm certainly not *bad* at piano, but I also have a long way to go yet.

My mother makes the greatest lasagna in the world. I know that's the typical food that everyone argues about on behalf of their mothers' honour, but in this case I'm afraid to say that it is literally the objective, inalienable truth that my mother's lasagna is the greatest in the world. At least that I've eaten.

The official name is "typhoon silver", but it's really an unremarkable shade of grey. I'm enjoying the car itself but I'm not crazy about the colour.

Smoothies. The others just taste of pure sugar

Not even close. The man is completely devoid of morals and not a fit example to lead the most powerful nation on earth. Not that our politicians in the UK are much better though...

I'm content with my weight (94.4kg @ 1.9m, as of this morning). Officially I think I'm on the border between 'healthy' and 'overweight' but as my body fat is quite low (well, kinda, it's probably around 15%) I'm not very worried. Part of me would like to shred down and get extremely lean just to see what my body is capable of, but another more significant part of me simply doesn't care and is happy to maintain what I have with minimal effort.

It's so weird reading a comment you wrote two years ago, as though it were a time capsule, and yet having every word still be just as relevant then as it is today. If anything I find it hard to stay up past eleven o'clock these days and I'm waking up even earlier (around 6-7ish without an alarm). I have no idea how my body survived the odd sleep schedules, overtraining and awful diet I put it through when I was younger.
