Interview the person below you

Yes. I rode on a Harley along the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway of California) with a guy named Dirt.
I even wore ripped jeans and a Harley tshirt. I used to be cool once upon a time.

I do own a car. I couldn't drive from 2015-2019 because of my stroke so I used the handicapped / wheelchair bus, and then graduated to Uber.

Public transit to and from school, but if an opportunity allows it, I will take public transit to a certain point near my house (preferably in the same area), take some pics, and walk home.

What is a recent interest that you have taken on?

Law! I am actually a lawyer but i didn't have much interest in the field at all! I am learning to love it now, reading legal essays and columns everyday.

Photography! There are so many places in Portland I want to visit just to take some pics, but some places are in areas of Portland I have never been to, despite having a guidebook that can help me.

Same question.

I've been making my bedroom into a sensory / Snoezelen room. I haven't done much except for some coloured lights but it's a new interest of mine.

same question

Don't have much time/opportunity to have interests, but I think perfumes. It's expensive, though. But then I also used to make stuff for myself or my kids, and this is just a branching off--that was more expensive, than just buying perfume, since there is so much trial and error. Plus purchasing individual ingredients takes a fortune.

My cousin was like me in this, and created his own business and does well making his own perfumes, but he is a genius unlike me.

In fact everyone in their nuclear family are geniuses, which I get really angry at sometimes. I mean their dad is my dad's elder brother, and their mom is my mom's elder sister (their parents' marriage was arranged but not my parent's, who actually 'courted').

So they share the same genes, pretty much, yet my siblings and I ended up with all the defects and mental/disabling issues (ocd, asd, pddnos, bipolar, depression, etc)
while they are 100% normal... apart from being geniuses too. It really is unfair.

He is a deeply artistic person and I mentioned before how great he is at art. His parents tried to divert him from it before because they didn't think he could have a good life (financially) if he went into it... however he ended up quitting his normal office job and being more successful by making perfumes ...so their views were incorrect.

Same Q

See my previous post.

A city park or a dense forest?

both, cannot pick. I love both . the park here (by my old house) is amazing.

I'd say that, because in forests people let their dogs loose and don't care if their dog attacks you. Well, that happened to me everytime I wore Vaseline spray-on deodarant that my mom gave me. If I didn't the dogs didn't do anything. But if I wore it they would be in the forest coming from OUTSIDE of the forest and running at me.
I used to go to forests daily but after that I stopped even though I threw away that spray and nothing like that occurred again.

same Q

Preferably the city park. In fact, I was at one earlier today. Plenty of people were present, some had dogs yes, but most visitors were just minding their own business.

Same question.

City park, especially Central Park. Ideally, no one else is there.

Walk everywhere for a year (no transport), or continue being on lockdown for a year?

Walk everywhere of course! I love walking even for hours. Only thing is the hospitals..what if there's an emergency and u have to take kids? With kids, latter option, otherwise if they were excluded, the former option.
Same Q

lockdown

I'm agoraphobic so walking anywhere in daylight would be a huge no.

Have you ever fainted?

I don’t recall ever actually fainting, but I have had several times where I almost did, and probably would have if I hadn’t sat down when I did (even in the middle of the floor, because I knew one way or another I wasn’t going to stay standing). I used to get nearly-fainting spells at church on occasion when kneeling or standing, I’d get very cold and my vision and hearing would start to fade. No clue what the reason was for that. The one time I successfully donated blood, I made the mistake of not having anything to eat or drink afterward because I’d had lunch just before coming to donate. I was fine while I was there, but that evening I almost passed out twice. And now with my very low iron, I usually have several times a day where I need to sit down before I fall down.

Same question.

No but OMG I was so jealous of people who had.

(we had March past at my Pak. school for Sports Day, but the guest of honour, an entitled woman of no importance (wife of some ambassador), was hours and hours late...

and march past was the FIRST item on the list and she kept saying she was almost there (she ended up being HOURS late, maybe 3 hours) so the teachers had all the marching girls in formation, outside, in the SAUDI heat waiting...

and so, many girls ( including my best friend Ruba)
fainted..
but I had not been selected for March past in the first place, so I did not get to experience that.

we treated the girls who had performed the march like heroes, afterwards, for weeks and weeks.

I would constantly ask them how it felt (in an autistic way... like repeating the same Q several times over) even though they had already told me.

Same Q

I fainted in 2001 when my adrenal system died, and in October when I was at the dentist. It was a blood pressure spike, something to do with the freezing.

This week I didn't quite faint but I had really low BP (79/54) and I was doing what you just described. I couldn't stand up or lift my head without seeing stars or buckling to the floor. I saw my GP and that's why I'm wearing a heart monitor again starting next week. It's being delivered.

Have you ever gone on a hayride?

Yes even though I did not realize that is what it was at the time.
