Hello i'm so excited to be a member and I'm new I'm so suprised

Heyy, welcome to the club! So glad that you joined! Hope you're having an amazing day!

This week's quote: "Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same." ~ Audrey Hepburn...Have a great week and sorry this is late!!

Greetings, I hope everyone's thriving! Question: What is something (or multiple things) completely random about you? My answer: 1. When I was younger, I used to like soggy cereal. 2. I kinda forgot how to swim 3. I sleep with my socks on (Is that weird? I just hate when my bare feet touch my blanket; it feels violating) Can't wait to hear from y'all!

No, it's not weird! I sleep in the coldest room in the house, so I've built immunity, but I've gotten to the point, where seven times out of ten, I'd get too hot with socks in.

Thank you! You too! Answer: I can cross my eyes, blur my vision on purpose, raise one eyebrow at a time, move my ears together and one at a time, my elbows are double-jointed, I can naturally move my knees past where others can normally move them, while I cross my eyes, if I want, I can bring just one back to normal, and keep the other crossed. I have no idea how many that was.

Oh wow, very unique! My friends sometimes compare me with Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) because I can raise my right eyebrow (not my left though)

1. I love to go hiking on foggy mornings! 2. I sometimes sleep with my hair tied in a bun 3. I hate going out to eat with friends (idk why, but I get so nervous that I end up eating a little bit or not eating anything) 4. I totally forgot how to dive (I used to, but nowadays I could only do a belly flop, lol!) 5. I liked eating pine nuts when I was younger, but now I don't like them lol! Thanks for the question! ~Victoria

Hi! 1. I'm left handed 2. I have never lived in the same house for more than 5 years 3. I like being in charge (I'm not bossy I swear 🤥) and love being a leader whenever I can 4. When I was little, E.T. scared me SO MUCH 5. I used to believe that the tooth fairy was the only holiday character that existed because she always left "pixie dust" 😂....I actually totally agree with your number 3! I always sleep with socks! My parents think it's weird but my feet get too cold at night XD

I'm right handed, but I sometimes like attempting to write with my left hand just for fun. And regarding feet–– mine stay cold even under my blanket (and my hands). Thanks so so much for answering!!

I'm right handed but I like trying to use my left hand to write, too! It's fun but hard!

Ha, that's fun! I do the same with my right hand! And wow, so you get REALLY cold at night!

Hey @dream_beyond, I actually share some same things with you! 1. I liked soggy cereal once 2. I'm gonna take swimming lessons next week! I completely forgot how to swim though...3. That's not weird, although I enjoy sleeping without socks! Since the covid pandemic, I've been addicted to wearing a mask everyday! Is that a bit odd? 😅

Wow, we have so much in common, that's so cool! I think it's totally fine wearing masks! I personally think it makes breathing a bit difficult tho... Thanks so much for answering!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share this wonderful quote! “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” – Dalai Lama

Yes, that's true! Imagine a world without happiness... :(

Love it! I don't know what will happen without happiness!

I have spring break next week too! But I’m going to San Diego

Wow! Have a good trip!
