The <^> Game | V.19

[grey matter]

like, in general? entomology is cool now but i used to despise bugs

^ oh no. maybe... ask for help if possible?
> reminder: flush toilets were not popularized until the 1850s. reminder: there is a lot of classic literature published before the 1850s. reminder: oi, academia aesthetic pals? your favorite pre-1850s character/person probably used a chamber pot at some point and there is nothing your feeble minds can do about it, MUAHAHAHAHahHAHAH // i'm sorry to anyone who i called their mind feeble - your mind probably isn't. BUT IT STILL CANNOT CHANGE MY BAD SENSE OF REMINDERS!!!! MUAHAHAHHAHAHA!
v hi do you have any slightly un-fun history/science/literary facts for me? preferably in the same sort of vein as the aforementioned realization i mentioned in >. maybe something fun to me or you but not to anyone else?

[MontgomeryMontgomery]

I think that pretty much everybody knows this but the ancient Romans used urine as toothpaste! And it might have actually worked because one of the chemicals in urine (i forget which one) can break down plaque
And if you already knew that one, you probably also already knew that the reason there are so few mummies still around is because people would cannibalize them a couple centuries back for medicinal purposes.
I have more so pm me if you're interested

^ I knew that but i have never made that connection in my mind before. thank you.
> and now because i said the thing about mummies sweet bod by lemon demon is stuck in my head-
v what's your favorite type of pasta?

[prentiss]

usually my favorite shape would be cavatappi/cork screws. but my favorite is really trader joe's organic brown rice gluten free fusilli pasta lol.

^ has an awesome plethora of historical/fun facts!
> i really saved an inordinate amount of homework for today and i'm on chicken smoothie instead. go me
v do you normally decorate your living space for seasons/holidays? what do you decorate with?

[viles]

• it varies, but usually yes. we have a fake christmas tree and several ornaments we pace on said tree. someone will place lights and holiday-related knickknacks in random spots; however, due to an increase of animals, we haven't been able to do that the past couple of years.
  
  ^ procrastinating through cs. hey, me too! *sung to the tune of that one song in power rangers* go go procrastinators!
  > watching a montage of bill hader breaking character on snl. there are few problems in life (or at least in mine, anyway) that bill hader's laughter won't solve.
  v what's on your mind?

[tifa]

women

^ i dont watch snl but ive seen a few bill hader clips and he's perfect for the show i think
> hmmm [passes away]
v share an inside joke without context

[|Winter|]

*points to kit kat*
what is that?!?

^ has women on the mind. same
> reining is such an odd equestrian sport to me. it's beautiful and I think it's less harmful to the horse than dressage, but just the atmosphere is so much different than what I'm used to
v what does your average day look like?

[alce]

sleep most of the time and do band/school if needed

^ seems very chill and cool
> cat on my lap... amazing
v how are you?

[trilli]

I am functioning at a moderate level.

^ Is in band. I went to your stamps to see if your instrument is there and I am
not disappointed.
> I found a nut mix I like and now I eat it in the morning. I want to go into town
tomorrow to ask people if they want their picture taken. My cat scratched the
inside of my nose and it hurts.
v When was the last time you accidentally hurt yourself?

[rat pack]

I accidentally stabbed myself with a safety pin like 40 minutes ago </3

^oh no, evil cat, good nut mix, your pictures will turn out beautiful
>have a 40 word vocab test tomorrow all the words look the same panicking ;;
vwhats your favorite body of water

[Winstalgia]

today, literally 5 minutes ago- I was tucking a few loose strands of hair away so they wouldnt get tangled in my piercing but smh What do you know, I bump the piercing. Didn't hurt a lot, it was gentle, but it's still fresh so asdfghj

^ sounds like you may have a good day tmrw! Taking photos of strangers on the street is nice ngl. Have fun, I'm sure they'll turn out good! I'm too shy for it but my Mom is a photographer and has done that, and some people are so happy, it's heart warming. // ouch, to the cat! I bet he's still cute tho, even tho a lot of cats are devil spawns.

I don't have one, though I do I like the Florida Keys, I have been a few times, so I guess where the gulf meets the atlantic. idk.

^ you got it! Maybe repeat flashcards a few times before hand, they'll be fresh in your mind that way, and chances are you'll have a feeling what the words are once you look at paper; despite them being the same, your brain knows them all if you've reviewed them. goo dluck!
> I drew for hours today and, needless to say, I have a headache now so- oh well, worth it. I haven't been able to draw everyday since my school started and while school doesnt take long, combined with a nap after work doesn't leave me a lot of free time lol. // I hope one of my co workers is working this weekend w me. I like talking to him, and he likes talking to me (I think, he is just talkative in general lol). I'm feeling talkativ rn but I am super tired so I'm going to bed in a minute. // I hope I pass my drivers road test in a couple weeks, it's nerve racking asdfghj but I'll be fine, I'm sure. even if I do fail for some reason, I can try again after a few weeks so
v would you rather talk or listen in a conversation?
