LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's the most adventurous or daring food you've ever tried?"I have no idea. I wouldn't say I'm super picky, but I don't often branch out.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's the most unexpected or unusual thing on your life's bucket list?"Run a marathon. I've always wanted to, and I hope that one day I'll work up to it. I love running, but I'm awful at it lol.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was the last thing you got really excited about, and why?"I was able to get all the parts for a gaming PC, and with the help of friends, we were able to get it up and running. I've been wanting a gaming PC for a bit, and it's a great escape to have when I don't feel like reading.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was the last thing you got really excited about, and why?"i'm moving into my own place really soon so i'm excited about that
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was the last thing you got really excited about, and why?"My last tattoo. Mickey Mouse done as a patch. I have wanted Mickey Mouse forever and the artist had the patch idea. It turned great! Can't wait for the next one.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: If you could instantly learn any language fluently, which one would you choose and why?"French. I've wanted to learn French since early high school. I was going to take a French language class, but they took it away and only offered Spanish.
I was trying to learn it on Duolingo recently, but I burnt myself out on it lol. I'll eventually get back to it.
For practicality, Spanish, as it’s the second most spoken language in the world. For fun, either Gaelic or Italian.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: If you could instantly learn any language fluently, which one would you choose and why?"Spanish, just because it would be so useful, for fun, i'd like to know Quechuan, which is a dialect spoken in Peru, or Yucatec Mayan, because I'd love to travel to both those places and speak like a local.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was the last thing you got really excited about, and why?"Yesterday, when after a tremendous amount of frustration with Ticketmaster, I secured 2 tickets to see Niall Horan in Cincinnati next June.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's the most adventurous or daring food you've ever tried?"I had a spicy pork and squid dish in NYC at a Korean restaurant, I liked it!

I read 8 books in May. My favorite was probably The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins, and I don't have a least favorite that sticks out to me.

I read 16 books. A lot of short, quick books. Two books tied for favorite:

- The Invited by Jennifer McMahon
Least favorite:
When the Light Goes by Larry McMurtry (This came a big surprise. I loved the Lonesome Dove series.)
