It seems like the done thing for this section is to state that you’re a little weird and then elaborate on that briefly but I find it incredibly difficult to do what’s normal and seeing as being a little bit weird is basically a requirement for signing up to this site and therefore being weird in this case is normal, I’m... a parakeet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie/rock/alternative/synth-pop... So the likes of Chvrches, Broods, The Naked and the Famous, Steve Miller, Smashing Pumpkins, The Kinks, R.E.M., Genesis, MGMT, Wolf Alice, The Cure, Sky Ferreira. Plus the greatest 80’s song of all time: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x_k8PVKC3co

My love of movies comes in phases and bursts and at this present moment, I have no interest in movies... I watched The Favourite recently in a really cool, old cinema in Birmingham and that was great and all that but I kinda did that to experience the cinema itself. Next week, I might watch 3 movies a day and not shut up about them for hours on end but not this week.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made it to 27 or some shit

Teach, Learn, Share

I thought this section may have been where you discuss school and that which seems boring and irrelevant to me but I’ve since realised things can be taught and learnt that don’t take place in schools. I’m rather mechanically minded and can teach people a bunch of basic mechanical things. I’d love to learn other mechanical (as even non-mechanical) skills so if you can teach me something back, I guess we’d all win.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share the fact that I’m really bad at answering hypothetical questions? Like, what’s the situation I’m meant to be in that I’m expected to share something? I can share a look of grimace with hosts if we encounter a large queue full of noisy teenagers in a bar. I can share driving responsibilities with hosts if we decide to make an 8 hour down trip to get really amazing ice cream. I can share my opinions on the insignificance of life on this tiny planet at this particular period in never ending time with hosts if we engage in an in-depth conversation what this whole damn thing we’re doing by being alive is all about.
