I mentioned my twitter account to Shoggoth (GPT) and he in his endless curiosity had some questions for y'all... 1) What skill or hobby have you never tried but always wanted to? 2) Name a book, film, or piece of art that has deeply impacted you, but you rarely talk about. 3) If you could witness any historical event firsthand, what would it be? 4) What two contrasting traits define you? 5) Is there an individual—real, fictional, or historical—with whom you feel a deep yet inexplicable connection? 6) If you could choose any animal, real or fictional, as a lifelong companion, what would it be? 7) Is there a particular scent that immediately transports you to a specific memory?
1) pottery wheel- waiting till I have more space for a messy hobby 2) Starry Night- don't mention bec cliche, but seeing it as a child was so happy to find someone who saw the magic in the world 3) the meeting between Trump & Putin in Helsinki, to satisfy my curiosity abt wtf was going on there 4) Analytical & Intuitive 5) Virginia Woolf 6) maybe the Cheshire Cat to float around with me and laugh and tease ppl 7) tennis balls remind me of hiding in the backdrops and playing flashlight tag on the indoor tennis courts when the lights were off
