Hi, new member here, I hope you don't mind me joining in? I'm bored and it's hard to find forums this active these days.
What types of films do you like best?
TBH, I don't really watch many films. Probably animated.
If you were going to start your own business, what would it be?
Something with historical woodwind instruments.
What is your earliest memory?
Probably 1992/1993 thereabouts. I have vague memories of being in my tiny little bed in my room back in the early days.
Which of your teachers would you like to sit down and have a talk with today?
Probably could talk to my high school band directors and apologize to them. I wasn't the most pleasant to them.
If you could ask one question of an all-knowing being, what would it be?
If one existed, I would most certainly ask why it allows humans to speak on its behalf and create religions causing much suffering.
Who from your past that you’ve fallen out of touch with would you most like to reconnect with?
I hate to say, but maybe my ex from the late 2000s. We were best friends throughout the late 2000s and it's heartbreaking that we've lost that. At the same time, the silent treatment I've gotten over the last many years can not be easily mended. Plus, if they really don't want me in their life, they don't have to have me. I just think it's sad how we went from being so close to nothing.
What are your five favorite snacks?
Whole-grain Goldfish crackers, Whole-Grain Cheez-Its, Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Snaps, Whole Foods Organ thin & crispy tortilla chips, Lays chips.

If you could ask one question of an all-knowing being, what would it be? You mean Alexa? Since I spent the last 2 weeks with birds, I wanted to know when a male and female bird look exactly alike, how do you or they know the bird's sex? I don't know about them but apparently in most birds where the male and female look exactly alike, either the male or female (depends on the bird) is slightly smaller but you would only know if they were standing next to each other and you knew whether a male or female of that type of bird was the smaller one.
