Ask Me a Question v 12.26.2021

[Noor]

Had covid, never really lost my singing voice though.
Also, negative to the toes, I really should be able to but I have not been keeping up with my daily stretching routine.

What song speaks to your heart? (Bonus points if you link it so I can take a listen)

John Taverner – Dum transisset Sabbatum

It connects me to the past and Byron
Best heard lying in the dark on good speakers with one's ghosts

What song speaks to your heart?

 

[FlyingThruLife]

Well, I have pretty good headphones on as I walk my dog in the dark, and that was one hell of a moving song.

If everyone cared - Nickelback
As crazy as it is, I feel like the lyrics in this song really speak to my personality. It's a song that got me through hard times when others were being less than kind to me while I was growing up, and it also gives me a mantra to consider on a daily basis. If everyone cared, imagining what this world could actually be is such an insanely moving thought. It reminds me to care about those who may not even care about others.

When have you trusted your gut, and been grateful that you have?

Yes, I do it all the time, it's lead to some great experiences and has kept me alive.
Have you travels to other countries where you don't know the language by your self?

Every evening before I go to bed my house plays some relaxing piano music that really helps me calm down.

When is the last time you stumbled across new music that either blew your mind, or just really made you consider something, either new, or old?

Usually when I am too tired to type.

I get surprised sometimes when I hear the music coming out of the radio at work with a younger generation. If something catches my ear, I check it out. The last song, I will admit even though it is embarrassing, was "Waffle House" by the Jonas Brothers. It's catchy.

Who is one artist you wish you didn't listen to, but you like them anyway?

Probably sometime in the past year when I was watching a facebook reel by fellow patient and he played a new piece called it's Ren.
I have never heard of his previous bands or anything so I have no idea, and the piece was really good.

Maybe Neil Diamond, I went to his concert because a friend had an extra ticket. I was in a wheelchair at the time, and he had the best wheelchair seats we could literally see everything. I'd didnt think I'd like him, and it was weird when all these young and old women threw underwear at him, but he was really good and he played music of his I knew that he had written for other bands.

How many touring professional musician have you met? I couldn't answer this question by the way

Honest answer, none. I have met a few amateur comedians though.

How does your house play piano?

When I tell Google that it is time to prep the evening, it dims all my lights to dark red, and plays a Spotify playlist called relaxing piano music on three speakers spread throughout my house. It is a great way to wind down at the end of the day.

I have met one person who was touring in a band, and he was is super chill dude. Family friend. He is the only one I have really gotten to know though, I have met others in passing, but not really spent time with them.

What is your sign that it's time to log off for the night?

Mostly for me it is when I reach the point where I know I want to be awake in around 7 hours, then it is time to lay my weary head to rest.

What has tempted you to stay up later than you intended?

Old friends, email chats, waiting for someone to wake up to say Good Morning/Good night, and also because I will suddenly realize that I wanted to get something done, ordered, emailed, cleaned, whatever right before I am meant to be in bed. Right now I am emailing an exchange which would be quicker on I'm or voice, and it being in gmail is getting to be a bit confusing as each piece gets threaded in. I do have a offline hard deadline though and everything stops then.

How little hours can you sleep and still be functional

How little hours can you sleep and still be functional

That depends on your definition of functional. To do my job, I need at least seven hours every night consistently, or the one off of 5 hours. If I am just grinding day-to-day living, but not worried about work, I could survive on five to six. I definitely prefer eight though.

Do you find it easier or harder to sleep with a partner in bed?

Do you find it easier or harder to sleep with a partner in bed?

Depends on the partner, some are so relaxing I find it easy to sleep. I usually can get used to either except if there is a lot of continuous change, like when I used to travel a lot for work.

What do you you wear to sleep in?

 

[Noor]

Honest answer, none. I have met a few amateur comedians though.

What is your sign that it's time to log off for the night?

It's 2am. Or my friend who I am waiting to say good morning doesn't check in by 1am, or when I can no longer stay awake. Or nothing is going on.
Sometimes I go to sleep for a few hours earlier and then wake up for a few. When I am not sure I can physically make it to my bed is a definite sign.

What do you you wear to sleep in?

Usually nothing. Although sometimes I actually enjoy wearing pajama bottoms. One advantage of living alone is that I am not worried about someone accidentally seeing something. I do sleep with an eye mask though.

Do you prefer silence, white noise, or some other form of noise when you go to sleep?

 

[Noor]

Breathe, certain music, the Breathe apps sleep stories esp around the world in 80 days, plus I wear loop ear plug. I also wear something over my eyes, usually a light cap that I pull down.

I used to listen to the Jefferson report sometimes.
Nothing except maybe my partner saying good morning when I have one, I like silence in the morning for a while.

Interesting…I have religious belief (God as creator and such) but I don’t consider myself a spiritual person - the two are definitely different for me.

Is religion a deal breaker for you?

Only if they are fanatical about religion.

Do you have any fantasies or kinks that can’t be discussed on Lit?

I guess not since I didn’t know there are things that couldn’t be discussed here.

What is your perfect Sunday morning?

 

[FlyingThruLife]

What is your perfect Sunday morning?

Waking up with a nice breakfast followed by a cup of coffee, taking my dog out for a walk coming home and making sure that I know what I want to accomplish today, and then starting to make my way through that list.

Is there something that you've shared with someone on lit, that you feel like you could not share with anyone in your life?
