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 )
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!
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)
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
(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!
@redhead Great idea! Ok here I go:
1. What is your favourite colour
Blue for sure! It relaxes me 🙂
2. What is your favourite song
But there are so manyyy!? My favourite right now is Wild by Troye Sivan, he is amaaayyzing!
3. What is your least favourite song
I'm pretty over Gangnam Style haha...oh great now it's stuck in my head
4. Your favourite gif
My life!
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
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 🙂
Omg I just realised this is supposed to be for NEW mods!! I apparently forgot how to read for the entire time I was drafting a response!!!!!!!
Hey @Rainbow Lane! You gonna pop in?
Great seeing al the new mods in here and look forwarding to getting to know you. @safari93 They were more guidelines anyway!
What a cute thread!! Thanks @redhead, and feel free to answer these yourself - I'm sure plenty of us would love to hear your answers!!
1. What is your favourite colour
I don't even know, but if you were to look in my closet it would be a tie between black and navy blue
2. What is your favourite song
Omg this is so difficult....maybe Mink, Schmink by Eartha Kitt? I can literally feel her rolling her eyes
3. What is your least favourite song
This is also difficult....although I never could stand Katy Perry (sorry fans!)
4. Your favourite gif
I'm still very fond of this chicken gif. It was probably the first gif I ever came across
5. What do you put on the best pizza ever
CHEESE (at least two different types), onions, capsicum, olives, mushrooms, garlic, chilli flakes
6. Your favourite game thread
I know this isn't a game thread but I've literally been collecting memes for the memes thread. I actually am thinking of keeping a folder for all the memes/vines/gifs I'm finding
7. Your go to self care
George RR Martin, Animal Planet's Cats 101/Dogs 101/Pets 101 videos, naps, skin/haircare
8. Where do you want to be in five years
I have no precise idea, but probably working in the mental health sector in a role where I could do research and practice
9. What does your name symbolise
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
Great idea @redhead! I agree with @juliet - I'm really glad we have this opportunity to officially introduce ourselves and to get to know the RO community better!
1. What is your favourite colour
I love light blue or light purple!
2. What is your favourite song
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!
4. Your favourite 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!
7. Your go to self care
Listening to music, mindfulness meditation, going for a walk or playing around with makeup. Self care is so important!
8. Where do you want to be in five years
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
Thanks for doing this @redhead, it's so nice of you.
I'm stealth_ninja! Hellooooo
1. What is your favourite colour
Blue! 🙂
2. What is your favourite song
Ooohh i have so many but right now I really like confetti by Tori Kelly. It has sort've become an anthem of sorts.

That song on the radio that's like "i only call you when it's half past 5", i just don't like at the moment.
4. Your favourite gif
This is a hard one.
pretty much anything with a sausage dog gets me.

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..
@stonepixie and a new picture! ... What is it? In celebration for Halloween?
"In celebration for Halloween?"
Oh HELL NO! How dare you suggest a thing? 😛
"What is it?"
It's a fairy pixie.
How are you finding exchange?! How much longer do you have left?
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.
@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.
Aww ... feeling the love, @N1ghtW1ng. You and me both! 16 characters down to 3 sure does look weird.
Aww ... fanks for the special mention! So much love!
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.
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 🙂
