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.

Hi can you follow me! I have a goalnof 15! If you do, I will follow back

hey everyone!! just a quick question, what are your favourite type of dogs? Mine is a poodle!

Corgis, Labs, Huskies, labradoodles, Weiner dog, old English sheepdogs, retrievers.... ALL

Mini goldendoodles (I'm biased because my dog is a mini goldendoodle) and corgis!

It's so hard to decide! Maybe poodles too!

This is possibly one of the toughest questions for me to answer! I absolutely love German shepherds, corgis, samoyeds, australian shepherds.... the list goes on and on! Poodles are cute too!
