Ya'll I haven't been on here in years and I just recovered my old account because of my little brother, so HI TO EVERYONE AGAIN

I actually vaguely remember you! I forgot I was following you and I just checked, when I joined, you were still active.

Little siblings can dig up all the things you've lost! I know, I'm the youngest. ALSO, HI.

Hey there! Welcome back! I actually don't think I remember seeing you around😅 I mean, I'd count myself as an old user, so you must be an ancient one? But great to get to know you!

Lol, I think you and joined around the same time... (I changed my user and got locked out of one, once) So, way to go ancients!

Hi everyone! I have a few questions! 1. Fruits or vegetables?, 2. Favorite show?, 3. Do you like school?, 4. Favorite artist?, 5. Do you play an instrument, if so what? My answers 1. Fruit, 2. I don't know! Too many, 3. Yes, 4. Friday Kahlo, piano. Thank you!

Fruits, the sweet life of Zack and Cody, no,idk, peanio.

1.Fruit 2.Stranger things GIVE US SEASON 5 3.I like school because I get to see my friends and crush(lol) 4.idk 5.no sadly I do not but it would be nice if I did.But have a good day!

1. Fruits 2. secret life of pets 3. kinda.. I really like science though 🤷 4. pablo pisacco 5. no Thanks for the quiz!

1. Fruits 2. I think I don't really watch any...3. I think it depends, too - I really don't like the classes on Friday though 4. Alan Walker, I suppose 5. Electric guitar(I gave up on piano a few years ago) ! This quiz is fun!

I assume fingerstyle? I do a little mix of strum with fingerstyle.

My grandpa teaches me and he said "I'm not very good at JUST fingerstyle." He combines them. It's certainly easier than just fingerstyle, lol.

Yeah, you guessed it right! I tried to use a pick, but it was a bit hard for me! 😅

Yay! It was hard for me the first month (I play violin. Guitar: Loose arm. Violin: Tight arm), but I've gotten used to it.

1. Fruits! 2. Alexa and Katie 3. Depends... Yes and no 4. Adele and my grandpa <3 5. I do, I play piano, violin, and guitar. I sing, too. Thanks for the quiz @bookschoolgirl!

We have a talented music prodigy among us! I mean, the piano and violin are complex instruments to play, plus singing and playing the guitar?? Keep at it!

Oh - when I responded I forgot to say that I don't have a vocal coach, I'm in choir, and my sister got me a pre-made vocal COURSE (pre-recorded and online) for my birthday months ago. I was talking about the violin, guitar, and piano.

Awwww, thank you! I owe it to my teachers and grandpa - he teaches me guitar. Shows how far you can go with good teachers! 😉

1. fruits!! 2. I don't really watch shows or episodes, so I can't really say I have one... 3. I agree with @techfashion0315, it depends. 4. Lately, I've been listening to Jay Manwell. His music is really good, yall should definitely go check it out! 5. Not anymore, I kinda got tired of practicing the piano😅 Thanks for the quiz!!

Hiii!! 1. Fruits! 2. Chesapeake Shores 3. Depends really 4. for KING + COUNTRY and Jenna Raine 5. I sort of play the guitar....Thanks for the quiz!

I feel you..... Wish I didn't, you too though, no one deserves it :(

Omigosh I feel you! I feel like they come in waves though...

Here's a would you rather quiz! 1. Play Airsoft or Paintball, 2. Read a book or play a card game, 3.Watch a movie or play a video game. My answers, 1. Airsoft. 2. Read a book. 3.Play a video game( most likely Fortnite or Call Of Duty). Hope you like it!

1. I don't know, 2. Read a book (although I love cards too), 3. A movie Thank you, this was fun!

1. Never played any of them(I don't think I've even seen them before!!! )😅2. I love both of 'em! 3. watch a movie Thanks for the quiz :)

1. Never played either, but airsoft 2. Honestly, because of a family game, I can't choose :( 3. So that's kind of hard, I even on a night when I didn't sleep well (like last night), I am the type of person who can't sit well for that long. Right now I would say a video game, but probably later tonight it's going to switch... This is why it's hard for me to take personality quizzes.... Though back to the first one, if it doesn't hurt, totally airsoft. I probably changed it to airsoft before posting.🤣

I have played both and Airsoft is better.(Though I don't personally know which is more painful because I didn't get hit when I played paintball, but I am pretty sure that airsoft is less painful.👍)

Oh, okay. I have a pretty high pain tolerance anyways, since I've had stitches twice, lol. If it is less painful, 100% airsoft. (On my face, I assume it'd be easier to manage because it's not on your body.)

I mean the stitches, I don't want to get hit the face. Ouch.

Oh yeah, you have to wear a eye and face gear so you wouldn't really have to worry about getting hit in the face. And I know how stitches feel... I had to get some before, but it was on a nerve so even with all the pain meds they gave me it still hurt a lot.

Yeah, okay, then totally airsoft, also, yeah, it still hurts! And the headache after it..... OUCH

Hi! 1. Paintball 2. Depends on my mood but I'd say play a card game 3. Watch a movie....Thanks for the quiz!!

1. Paintball 2. Read! 3. Honestly depends, but prob watch a movie. Thanks so much for the quiz!

1. Paintball 2. Play a card game 3. Movie!

Here's something for you guys that I recently read again. "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the wise cannot see all ends." Gandalf the grey.
