the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[tea rose]

oh damn; well, technically it's not my hometown. i consider it mine anyway, though, because i was young when i moved, my life pretty much started there, and i consider it more "home" than any other place i've lived. it was a small southern mountain town i lived in for 7 years and i loved it. i was always an adventurous and outdoorsy kid, and it offered a lot i could use. i also "hate" it though since the circumstances of which i had to leave it weren't good and kind of taint the experience? but in the end, it was good; it just wasn't meant to last. i still have complicated feelings about it, and plan on incorporating things into my daily life that mimic what i enjoyed about that town

^ loves driving, i do too! just driving with no destination and talking with my mom about anything is one of my favorite things <3
> excited to give my sister her christmas gifts!
v what is "home" to you? is it a person? a place? a feeling?

[navybluechilipeppers]

i moved away from my original house when I was 5, and have been in the same house ever since. i'd say this feels like my home, especially my room feels like home. it's not expertly decorated but i've made it cozy and added decorations with all my favourite things. i enjoy being in there;; according to my parents i enjoy it too much. haha

^ i've always struggled with giving and buying presents, but this year i will do better.
> i've never posted on this thread before, i'm friends with viles, i think he's mentioned me a few times. hello !
i just got a new puppy recently, and he's super cute! training the dog though is really tough and way more work than I realized. dogs arent like cats at all.
v what would your dream house look like? if you had infinite money and someone else had to set it up for you.

[ufoparty]

something fairly medium sized, easy to clean. i want something cozy and warm, natural wood furniture, probably similar to a grandparents house. not overwhemingly cluttered or hoarding level but i would love a bunch of little trinkets, art pieces, etc. just something that looks lived in and loved

^ good luck with the new puppy!!
> being dramatic and missing my boyfriend and friends, hate that winter break is a month long eugh
v recommend a video essay or any long form video!

I watched this the other night. It put me to sleep.

^ You have been here for a hot minute. I remember when you had Keanu Reeves on your profile.
> My internet connection is struggling right now.

[Zorion]

^ oof, i feel you. let's hope for better internet for the holidays, yeah? :v
> i can't believe there's just one week of studying left before my holiday officially starts. feel like the past month has gone by way too quickly - i'm running out of time to get all of my holiday preparations done on time! D:

[tea rose]

Hey, I'm Reed . Not sure what to say... I'm a barista and I also sing sometimes? My cafe has a little stage for local artists, so they let me perform sometimes. I was unsure about it initially, but I think I'm beginning to enjoy it now . I'm a history buff, too. All eras are interesting to me, but I'm most interested in the 1800s .
Am I using too many smiley faces? I don't know what a good sentence-to-emoticon ratio is.

^ Hope you feel better soon.
> Honestly, not doing well at the minute. I don't want to sound rude, but my coworker has been difficult to work with for a long time; just lashing out and such. It's starting to take a toll on our interactions even outside of work. Oh well. I can't even feel angry. She's likely working through some personal problems, and I can be patient with her. (bless reed's heart) (also he is 100% angry about his coworker like a liar lol)
v Repeating the above question.

[viles]

v Describe your dream home

[cainhurst]

a wild mix of about everything, really. though my top 5 genres according to spotify were modern alternative rock, alt z, pop, traprun, and modern rock respectively. might be a more informative answer than "anything tbh"

^ hello cs user viles, it's nice to see one of your old usernames pop up again,,, hope you have a pleasant day/night <3 also, elektris is a neat name

haunted looking gothic manor with a large, equally haunted looking garden. that's it. that's all i want

^ it's funny because i did the same with a city a friend moved to, so i just hit her with "hey, did you know you had a serial killer from your city who died in prison shortly before you moved" a while back hhh
> three consecutive nights with nightmares i can remember, can i go for a new personal record and make it four days in a row? stay tuned to find out! this is your host cyril speaking and you're listening to nightmare station FM! / discordant music plays in the background
