ah this is cool! 😄

 

1. What is your favourite colour?

 

-Red and blue for life!


2. What is the best games thread?

 

http://forums.au.reachout.com/t5/Games/Let-s-count-to-1-000-000/td-p/66/


3. Name three random objects in your reach

 

My school jumper, a couch pillow and a tea towel 🙂

6. What is favourite shoes you wear?

 

My hiking shoes! They're so much more comfy than my runners. 


7. Why did you join RO

 

I actually joined the US reachout first becase I didn't think Australia had one. But I was messaging asking for some help in my previous relationship I think. 

Then they pointed me to the Australian forum so I decided to join here and kinda hang out since I left the game forum I used to chill on (Too many DDoS attack threats lmao).

 

I'm RandomName. But feel free to call me Randy 😉

Hi hi! Smiley Happy

 

1. What is your favourite colour?

Pink. Apologetically. Seriously I feel like a 3 year old with the way I'm drawn to sparkles and pink things.


2. What is the best games thread?

Train of Positivity.


3. Name three random objects in your reach

Coffee (it's almost finished, boo). A box of tissues. A packet of hand warmers.


4. What is your dream job?

Nurse. Lucky me gets to do the one thing I enjoy most every single day.


5. Your favourite 2 songs atm (link them)

 

6. What is favourite shoes you wear?

Okay so you know those plastic 'jelly' sandals that little kids wear? I have a pair that are pink with sparkles and I freaking love them. I've had to replace them twice so far because I wear them so often. My housemates all pretend to hate them but I only ever get compliments on them and they make me feel so happy so I'll wear them every single day!


7. Why did you join RO

A longggg time ago, RO helped me through my struggles when I was a wee teenager. I started working with young people (I'm still a young person but now I get to help them too!) and I sort of drifted back to RO and realised how much it has changed (in a good way) and I was surprised (but happy) to learn that I can still get help from RO, everything is still relevant, and I can help others. How amazeballs is that? Smiley Tongue

Being a taste tester for something like a pizza company or cadbury

@peppermintpeony Black boots are the bomb! They go perfectly with outfits for every season - I wear them on a daily basis 😄

Great idea, @redhead!

 

1. What is your favourite colour? 

Green!


2. What is the best games thread?

I like 'Would you rather?'!


3. Name three random objects in your reach
A water bottle, a blank birthday card, and a terrarium!

4. What is your dream job?
A doctor of some description... I'm drawn to a lot of different specialties!

5. Your favourite 2 songs atm (link them)

6. What is favourite shoes you wear?
I really like wearing my black Doc Marten boots! I feel a little bit unstoppable in them for a little while.

7. Why did you join RO?
I think I first joined RO when I was 11 or 12... I was attracted to the fact sheets on the main website first, and found myself on the forums. I'd been having a hard time at school, and found it refreshing to read open discussions of difficult/taboo issues on here. I didn't have anyone in 'real life' to talk about these things with, so RO was a haven. Heart

1. What is your favourite colour?

Pink and Green in general but I tend to lean towards blue and purple for clothes
2. What is the best games thread?

Movie Lines because I love to quote random movie lines all day!
3. Name three random objects in your reach

Cat (as in he was just in my face!), phone, ipod
4. What is your dream job?

I honestly don't know! I am admin trained (and currently looking for work in that area) but I love doing ReachOut stuff and have just been accepted into a mentor program that's run through my local government youth centre. At this stage I am open to anything, so I will see what happens 🙂
5. Your favourite 2 songs atm (link them)

I listen to a lot of random stuff so at the moment its been a mix of stuff by a band called The Afters, the TV show The Next Step soundtrack (I just saw the dancers in concert last week with my younger sister who has down syndrome and they were amazing!), some disney channel original movie soundtracks, Echosmith and some Hilary Duff thrown in for good measure 🙂 a few songs I can't get enough of are Battles by The Afters and Safest Place by Echosmith
6. What is favourite shoes you wear?

Any that I can't trip in! I have no idea! Currently I have been wearing boots non stop as Spring is refusing to come but I have a lot of cute sandals and flats I am waiting to breakout when it stops raining!
7. Why did you join RO

I have anxiety and had just had an anxiety attack at a job I was working in so I went back to my psych (I had stopped seeing her for a while as she had gone on leave and everything seemed fine) and after a couple of sessions she told me to challenge myself. The next day a post on RO's Facebook page popped up saying they wanted youth ambassadors for my state so I applied and got in. It's been hands down the most challenging/fun/exciting thing I have done and I haven't looked back! I love being able to share my story and just raise awareness of mental health in general 🙂

1. What is your favourite colour?

I wasn't sure so I went on this website that has every colour and you can adjust the tone etc. I really like 00cccc which a light-dark blue.

2. What is the best games thread?

First one that came to mind was Name The Last 
3. Name three random objects in your reach

My work boots on my feet, car keys, my shorts 
4. What is your dream job?

I'd really like to finish my apprenticeship as a starting point, then I'll be qualified. Once I'm qualified my goal is to start my own business. Part of the work this business will be doing is creating therapeutic/sensory gardens for those who need a nice space outside. And then, also part of that business but probably voluntarily, I'd like to work with school kids and showing them basic garden care, like how to plant plants, keep them alive, especially with planting fresh fruit and vegies. Hopefully educating kids then grows into educating families.... I grew up eating potato gems pretty much every night so I think some education around that would be highly beneficial.

6. What is favourite shoes you wear?

barefeet
7. Why did you join ReachOut?

i was going through a pretty tough time that I didn't want people close to me to know about, so I jumped on here and I've just sorta stuck around and in turn it's helped me open up a bit more to people in my life.
