Aww, thanks so much! I really appreciate that! You are awesome too!

I was gonna give a shoutout to her too!

Random would-you-rather quiz! 1) Would you rather eat only your favorite food for the rest of your life, or eat every single food item that exists? 2) Would you rather be rich and unhappy or poor and happy? 3) Would you rather have only your favorite school subject or all the subjects? Thanks! My answers: 1) only my favorite food, because although it would get boring, I can’t eat every single food item because I have a lot of dietary restrictions 2) poor and happy 3) I want to say my favorite school subject, but I’m going to go with all the subjects.

1. Hmm...probably my favorite foods 2. poor and happy :) 3. Oh, definitely only my favorite subject

1. Every single food. 2. Poor and happy! 3. Favorite subjects!

Hi!! 1. Only my fav foods, I hate mushrooms and parsley so I would not want to eat that. 2. Poor and happy. 3. All subjects. Thanks for the quiz!

1. Eat every food item that exists! 2. Poor and happy! 3. All the subjects! Thanks for the Would You Rather quiz!!

Happy early St. Patrick's day! Are any of you guys doing something cool? Sadly, I'm not. 🍀☘ Random Fact: Did you know that the original St. Patrick's day color was BLUE???? 🔵

Blue? That's crazy!! My family will probably just make some green pancakes in the morning :)

Whoah! I didn't know that! I always thought that it was green. Thanks for the fun fact! By the way, @pinkkitty9 I'm not doing anything for St. Patricks Day, you're not the only one!

Wow! What an interesting fact. My mom has Irish and Scottish heritage and guess what? She is related to royalty!

Yeah, I am a bit jealous of her, I would love to be related to royalty!

IKR? My sister actually traced by my mom's roots. That is why we know!

Wow, blue? It's so heavily associated with green now, that's so strange! Happy early St. Patrick's say to you too

HappySt. Patrick's Day to you too! And no I didn't know that!!

Obscure pretty word of the week: Vellichor- The strange wistfulness of used bookshops, which are somehow infused with the passage of time, filled with thousands of old books you'll never have time to read, each of which is locked in its own era; a hidden annex littered with thoughts left just as they were on the day they were captured and written down. Fellow word nerds, please feel free to comment your own!

Aloha, everyone! I have a quick question for all of you! Are you left-handed or right-handed? I am left-handed, actually I am the only person in my family who is left-handed. So, if you would, please tell me. I would love to know! Thanks!

Did you know that only 7 out 100 people are lefties? Pretty rare, huh?

Well, I can use my right-handed (my spare handed writing, lol)

What!? Nope I never heard about this fact, but thx for an fact!

Right-handed. Well, actually, when I was baby, I was doing everything with my left, but then suddenly I started with my right! I have a lot of friends who are lefties!

Oh, interesting. When I was a baby, my parents were asked if they would make me right-handed. They said no of course! Thanks for replying!

I consider myself right-handed, but I can use my left hand almost as well as my right hand, so I guess I'm ambidextrous.

WOW! That is cool you can use both. If I use my right hand.... let's just say it looks terrible! Thanks for replying!

I am right handed, and i dont know where is my left and right btw, so i guess it is the right

I'm a rightie, like about 90% of the population :)

Oh, I didn't realize how low the population was of left-handed people. Thanks for replying!

hello! I am right handed! That is cool that you are left handed because that's pretty rare

Thanks for replying! Yeah, the only thing is my sleeve always gets dirty because I have to drag it through the ink or lead on my paper. That is never fun. Thanks for replying!

I am right handed :) my twin brother is a lefty though, so that's interesting!

I am right handed! My sister on the other hand, is a lefty!

Haha! Was that an intentional pun?
