So a little slower than most here but hi @redhead what a great idea!


1. What is your favourite colour

Yellow! Because it's a happy vibrant colour and reminds me of summer and sunshine, the beach and lemons (which are one of my favourite things especially with ginger Smiley Wink)

2. What is your favourite song

Favourite song of all time is Mr. Brightside, but anything by the Killers is pretty amazing. I could listen to them for hours on end !

3. What is your least favourite song

Hotline Bling... and thanks to all the drake memes going around I can't even listen to it without giggling!


tumblr_nvo735Pxf41qaybi5o1_500.jpg

 

4. Your favourite gif

Tried to put in a Drake gif and failed miserably haha

5. What do you put on the best pizza ever

I actually dont like pizza, the whole cheese and dough thing doesn't sit well with me!

6. Your favourite game thread

eep... yet to really get in on them yet!

7. Your go to self care

Cooking and baking (I love feeding people!) or exercise! Really anything that involves me spending time with me!

8. Where do you want to be in five years

Happy and healthy!

9. What does your name symbolise

My name on here is literally just a random combination of letters... sorry no exciting story to go with that!

10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

I guess I'm a fairly positive person, I enjoy making people laugh even if it is at my own expense at times!!!

Thanks @redhead for such a welcoming thread! And everyone else for welcoming us into the RO community to make us feel so... welcome!

 

(Given RO's gif obsession I went searching for the headmaster in She's The Man singing... this was the closest I could find. Except I do not think RO is a crappy blog! And your welcome isnt as... strange as this headmaster comes off)

 

Welcome Welcome.gif

 

1. What is your favourite colour

It changes all the time. I my persevering colour I go back to is green but at the moment it is orange.


2. What is your favourite song

Again, this changes all the time!! Wake Me Up by Wham! is always a fav though.


3. What is your least favourite song

Golly! All this singling down to one is difficult! (I am a super indecisive person). I'll say I Will Survive because it always gets stuck in my head and frustrates me. Like now....


4. Your favourite gif

I am new to this gif thing but so far it is this

tumblr_muf8xcxG4T1snf92qo1_500.gif

(my apologies it is so big. If I make it smaller it stops moving)


5. What do you put on the best pizza ever

Really tomatoey paste, pinapple, pumpkin, ham, red capsicum, mozzarella (not too much).


6. Your favourite game thread

I really like the counting to 1,000,000 one. When I come on and just dont feel in the mindspace to write coherent responses I know I can add something there 🙂


7. Your go to self care

TV shows I love, kids movies, sitting outside near trees, knitting


8. Where do you want to be in five years

I am not realy sure. In a stable job with a consistent routine, earning more money than now, in a house with the start of a garden...


9. What does your name symbolise

Signing up some time that I have completely forgotten about and then being stumped when I went to sign up again and discovering I already had an account. Then it was a journey to discover they are not i's as I would have logicially suspected, but in fact l's (for larry). I have no idea why.


10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

This is probably not unique but keeping on the gif theme...

I would love to hear members of the RO community answer these questions to if they want to!

5. What do you put on the best pizza ever

My mouth...As in I eat the whole thing. Pizza = Life

6. Your favourite game thread

I'll be honest, I haven't been on there yet  eek! I will definitely be getting on there soon

7. Your go to self care

Definitley reading! I love just having some time to myself to completely immerse myself in another world! I am currently reading a book called I Am Jay which is about a trans teen and his journey to self discovery. It's totally a "coming of age" story, I'm a sucker for those!

8. Where do you want to be in five years

I would love to be in New York City, whether it's for work or a holiday, I just want to BE THERE and be eating lots of NY pizza, can't forget the pizza!

9. What does your name symbolise

I just really like rainbows Smiley Tongue

10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

I've only just started posting on the forum so I'm not sure if I can answer this one completely. Though, I'd like to think my knowledge and lived experiences relating to gender and sexuality might be of some use 🙂

This is also difficult....although I never could stand Katy Perry (sorry fans!)

CHEESE (at least two different types), onions, capsicum, olives, mushrooms, garlic, chilli flakes

George RR Martin, Animal Planet's Cats 101/Dogs 101/Pets 101 videos, naps, skin/haircare

The fact that my tumblr url also has the word 'safari' in it, and the year I was born


10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

Hmmm, well I'm good at collecting memes and other funny internet stuff! And I'm bringing myself which no-one else can bring so I guess that counts too

1. What is your favourite colour

I love light blue or light purple!

This is a really hard question because it changes all the time. My top 3 at the moment are Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie, Hello by Adele and She Used to be Mine by Sara Bareilles.

3. What is your least favourite song

Probably Hotline Bling, although the memes are amazing! Woman LOL

4. Your favourite gif

 

giphy2.gif

 

@Stealth_ninja that sausage dog is adorable! Cute animal gifs are the best.

5. What do you put on the best pizza ever

I actually love a good Hawaiian pizza. Otherwise, tomato paste, salami, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, zucchini and (lactose-free) cheese. I'm hungry now...!

6. Your favourite game thread

I haven't explored the games threads too much yet, but thank you for the suggestions @N1ghtW1ng! I'm looking forward to checking them out! Smiley Happy

Listening to music, mindfulness meditation, going for a walk or playing around with makeup. Self care is so important!

I would love to be working in the psychology field full time, and be in a position where I am able to travel and explore lots of different countries, meeting new people along the way.

9. What does your name symbolise

I took my name from a character from Game of Thrones. I'm completely addicted to it, and Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi) is amazing.

10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

Apart from listening and helping to keep RO being the supportive environment that it is, I would love to contribute more funny cat gifs Smiley Tongue

Ooohh i have so many but right now I really like confetti by Tori Kelly. It has sort've become  an anthem of sorts.

4. Your favourite gif

This is a hard one.

sausagee

 

pretty much anything with a sausage dog gets me.

5. What do you put on the best pizza ever

hmmm prawns, garlic, cheese, tomatos and chillis

6. Your favourite game thread

I really like the song lyrics one! It's awsome

7. Your go to self care

Exercising, meditation and music

8. Where do you want to be in five years

I'd love to be working in a community wellbeing project or working for an organisation like reachout that helps create a supportive community culture

9. What does your name symbolise

I think ninjas are courageous. They are just regular people that finding courage within them and I think in life, you need a lot of courage. I don't always have it but it is who I want to be. I also think ninjas have a sixth sense, I hope I can be an emotionally intelligent ninja haha and hopefully anchor the people around me.

10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

I'm not sure if it's unique or not but compassion, understanding. Hopefully I can represent the perspective of a cultural background and give you fun chick flick gifs like this one..

Thanks so much for all the game recommendations @N1ghtW1ng! I would say I'll get on them right now but I'm afraid of I don't go to sleep now, I'll be on RO all night!
 
 
N1ghtW1ng
N1ghtW1ngPosted 29-10-2015 03:04 AM
Haha @juliet I forgot (again) about the time zone differences. In case you haven't read/heard/whatever method of communication you prefer, I'm doing an exchange year, so I'm overseas about 8 hours behind Oz 😛 I keep forgetting you're all sleeping. Or should be sleeping.

@stonepixie and a new picture! ... What is it? In celebration for Halloween?
 
 
 
stonepixie
stonepixiePosted 29-10-2015 06:58 AM

"In celebration for Halloween?"

 

Oh HELL NO! How dare you suggest a thing? 😛

 

"What is it?"

 

It's a fairy pixie. Smiley Very Happy

Also, @CICI congrats! @Lahna congrats too! (I hope I got your username right! I only just saw it in one of the threads) and @Craycray17 congrats as well! You've definitely been a huge support to everyone here on the forums, now all of you hurry up and answer the questions! I want to know your favourite colours 😛

Thanks so much for the congrats @N1ghtW1ng!

How are you finding exchange?! How much longer do you have left?

N1ghtW1ngPosted 01-11-2015 05:58 AM
@CICI wait I've forgotten, is it a capital i or a little L? @ClCl (< that was with L's)

Anyways, exchange is amazing! I only have two a bit months! 😧 But let's not talk about that! It's really great here. It's a bit hard for me personally, being a bit (*cough*a lot) introverted and being an awkward fluffball around people, but it's still been an amazing experience.
 
N1ghtW1ng
N1ghtW1ngPosted 29-10-2015 01:53 AM
@juliet the cat is adorable. And I think we would love some funny videos! As for the games thread, my favourites include the story ones, One word/one sentence/one paragraph per post,the counting to 1,000,000 and last post wins. But they are all great. Feel free to resurrect any you want though! Some old ones are fun too.

@redhead this is a cool idea! I love getting to know (or in @stonepixie's case, know more) members!

And last, but in no way the least, rockfairy, pebblefey, stonepixie, I'm so proud and excited for you! I think that gifs become my favourite too. The land of mods will definitely be able to use your super user knowledge! Now I gotta get used to seeing 'Mod' next to your name, but you totally deserve it.
 
 
stonepixie
stonepixiePosted 29-10-2015 02:10 AM

 

Aww ... feeling the love, @N1ghtW1ngHeart You and me both! 16 characters down to 3 sure does look weird.

 
stonepixie
stonepixiePosted 29-10-2015 12:39 AM

Aww ... fanks for the special mention! So much love! Heart

 

1. What is your favourite colour

 

Green! Because it is the most awesomest colour ever!


2. What is your favourite song

 

I don't really have one. But if I had to pick one it would be this one because I just can't believe Paul hung upside down for a whole day just to shoot this film clip. That's dedication!



3. What is your least favourite song

 

Erm ... well I don't like the Rap genre. Nor do I like heavy metal.


4. Your favourite gif


 

I only found this one the other day, but it is definitely my favourite. Hahaha.


5. What do you put on the best pizza ever

 

Tomato paste, pizza herb blend, obvi! Haha. Then it has baked sweet potato, caramelised onions, capsicum, chicken and cheese. Yeah, I think that is about it. Oh and spinach!

6. Your favourite game thread

 

To be biased or not? Hahaha. Actually, I'm kinda waiting for someone to post on this one! I found it and was like hell yeah, but then it just died. 😞 #devo


7. Your go to self care

 

Depending on which is closer, colour-in or crochetting.


8. Where do you want to be in five years

 

Working somewhere in the sector, and thinking about starting a family of some sort.

9. What does your name symbolise

 

I suck at creating usernames, and I'm pretty sure the answer to this is already one here somewhere. Because it is so much easier to hyperlink than copy and paste. 😛

10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

 

Apart from my awesomeness? Probably bringing the knowledge of what it is like to be a super user into the land of mods.

 
juliet
julietPosted 28-10-2015 07:46 PM

Hey @redhead -- what a great idea!! I really wanted an opportunity to introduce myself as a mod so thank you for giving me one 😛 Really lovely idea -- I feel so welcome 🙂 🙂 Can't wait to get to know everyone here in the RO community.

 

Anyway... to the questions!


1. What is your favourite colour

 

I think it's green! I love trees and walking outdoors, so it has to be green 🙂 I like blue too though.

2. What is your favourite song

 

Hmmm... tough. When I want to dance and sing along I'd have to say September by Earth Wind and Fire haha.

3. What is your least favourite song

 

Also hard to think of what my least favourite song is! Sorry to any U2 fans out there, but I would probably say Vertigo by U2. I just find Bono so irritating!

4. Your favourite gif

Can't beat a cross-stitching cat:

 



5. What do you put on the best pizza ever

I am a feta and pancetta girl. Yep, nothing fancy -- feta, olive oil, panchetta. No cheese. Yep -- controversial!

6. Your favourite game thread

This is really embarrassing but I am yet to explore all the games! @redhead you'll have to give me some tips on what games are the best so I can go and have a look and try them out 😉


7. Your go to self care
I love listening to podcasts! That, and watching silly YouTube videos of American late-night tv. Basically, anything I can switch my mind off to.


8. Where do you want to be in five years
I have no idea. Either a clinical psychologist living and working in the city, or living alone with a notebook and some watercolours in a cabin on a lake in the middle of nowhere. Both of these things sounds really appealing to me haha!


9. What does your name symbolise

I don't want to give off the impression that I am into romance a la Romeo and Juliet, because I am actually a little bit allergic to romance and cheesy, corny stuff like that -- so I just want to say it's not that! But I guess I like strong female characters and rebels who push boundaries, and Juliet is a bit like that! If that makes sense?

10. What is one unique thing you contribute to RO

I would like to think that I can track down some pretty weird and ridiculous youtube videos... will the RO community like that?

 

@redhead you should do the questions too if you'd like 🙂
