I finished Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson last week and decided to re-read The Odyssey by Homer. I’ve only read ~10% but it’s still as good as I remember it from my college English class

I loved Devolution by Max Brooks. Would highly recommend if you like survival horror and his writing style!

Currently reading Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson. I’ve taken a bit of break from it bc the last chapter I read had a twist that threw me for a loop lol

I’m also reading two-ish books! The first isDead Ringers by Christopher Golden. It’s a horror novel about doppelgängers. I’m only like 2 chapters in so that’s really all I know lol. The second is Dreamcatcher by Stephen King—another horror novel that I’m actually re-reading. It’s about a group of friends who, while out on their yearly gamehunting trip, get caught in the crossfire of a supernatural event. Loved it the first time, and so far I’m loving it the second time around :)

I initially read this as favorite films and came to say The Princess Bride or Clue. But for favorite scenes, I’d say the one where Inigo is growing impatient waiting for the Man in the Mask to scale the mountain or the part of Clue where the butler races around the mansion trying to explain the murders

Believing in myself. When I was in high school, I decided that I wanted to go to an Ivy League college. I figured I was just as capable as anyone else that went to those schools, I just needed to get there. But my guidance counselor refused to write the recommendation letter bc nobody at my school had ever gone to an out-of-state college before. I had to have a parent-teacher conference to get the letter approved. Fast forward to now, I’ve since finished college at an Ivy and now ~5% of each graduating class from my high school attends and Ivy for college. Turns out we were more than capable of doing it; someone just had to do it first.

I cannot understand the people who do those annoying social media “pranks” that involve making a mess for some poor retail person/janitor/cashier to clean up. Especially because the most direct explanation is that the videos gain traction—to which I then ask, who are the people that watch those videos and go “heck yeah I love this”??

I love this type of shower thought. Feels straight out of tumblr! I wonder if I could increase my productivity by having people line up and I drive by in a car—like the homecoming queen of a local town

perhaps similar to LoL, there are several valorant teams/ players that have seen redemption arcs. I’d argue paper rex have gone from “W gaming trolls” to “W gaming trolls with a method to their madness” placing 3rd at Tokyo with a sub! I think Forsaken has demonstrated that he’s a very diverse player—and does it all well.

I think it probably depends on who you hang with. I routinely talk to myself, and all my friends know it. My mom does the same thing. I’ll both think aloud and talk out these totally random scenarios. My friends don’t bat an eye

Currently reading The Haunted Forest Tour by James A Moore. The premise is a safari thru a forest filled with horror creatures that goes wrong, and I am LOVING it so far! I’m still pretty early into it, but so far so good. After this, I think I’ll go back to another Agatha Christie whodunnit

Yes! John Carpenter’s The Thing is fantastic!!

I’m a big fan of the found footage (FF) subgenre of horror. Some favorites would be Gonjiam Haunted Asylum (2018), Cloverfield (2012), and Hell House LLC (2015)

you’re correct but I’m still booing you for the imagery this has conjured in my head

@FrostBolt I’m a big fan of plant care! I find it super relaxing to have a little garden in my apartment (plus I love the pop of color in my living room!)

Other hobbies I have are puzzle games (eg sudoku, crosswords, word scrambles), podcasts, and audiobooks
