Just meme-ing. :D

311. What memory of yours feels real but is most likely false?
I'm one of those people who ~remembers~ floating downstairs as a toddler! This is apparently really common (which you can see when you google it), and obviously not something that actually ever happened to anyone, but still a cool childhood dream to share (or maybe a memory of being carried). :D

377. Do you prefer to be too hot or too cold, and why?
I'm completely fine with either tbh. I'm only not a fan of being hot when I'm outside in the sun without any shade. But hot in the shade or not outside at all is okay with me, and cold is okay too.

425. How do you feel about snakes and spiders?
Snakes are adorable. Spiders who are bigger than 3 cm or so give me an "AHHH wtf" moment when I notice them, but it passes very quickly and then they're also kinda adorable. :D

I had no idea that was a thing!! O.o

your answer for 311 I can unequivocally say NO.

For explanation: I have a deep, abiding fear of stairs, ladders, wharves, piers, jetties... anything that requires me to walk on something "over air". I have also had memory loss of a strange kind my entire life. And a very odd indention of my skull where a baby/young toddler would still have a soft spot.

I never managed to ASK mom if I fell down the stairs at her eldest sister's house, but circumstantial evidence says yes. The idea of having that floating idea is very very scary to the back of my brain.

the last one: I love snakes. And I have an agreement with spiders - they do not suddenly get within arm's reach of me, and I will let them live, even watch and admire them. Suddenly within my boundaries gets a panic squash.

huh, I had no idea the floating downstairs thing was such a shared experience. I don't have it but I can see it being a memory of being carried for sure!

There's definitely been memories that I recall as a kid that may not entirely be real, like it was a mixture of a dream or something I saw on TV. My memory is often shit, and most of the things I do end up remembering are just fragments and if I try to retell it to others they have no idea what I am even referencing, or their memory is just as bad as mine.

While extreme weather is horrible regardless, I do prefer the cold more than the heat. I can bundle myself up in layers, whereas with heat all I can do is just....be in my own skin and sweat and be miserable, lol.

Snakes are very cool. We had a classroom pet snake in my middle school English class, which was awesome.
