18, Pro or anti tchotchkes? 25, Favorite old person activity? 41, What's the oldest thing you own? As always, no pressure.

18: hell yeah decorations! Like, I wouldn't set out to decorate with little things, but they bring me joy and they always happen and they make the place just so much homelier!

25: nörgeln? XD I'm thinking of that StudiVZ group "wenn ich alt bin werde ich nur noch nörgeln, das wird ein Spaß!". But tbh just. Sitting/lying on the couch, maybe knitting, is great. Looking out the window and noticing birds is also great! Generally just passing time being comfortable..

41: I have an umbrella that's over 100 years old, and a necklace that's at least been in my maternal family since the war. I don't know how old my spinning wheel is.. I don't remember if I have anything else that's old. Most things I have are younger than me..

Hiiiiiii

When you pick it up it seems a lot sturdier than expected. Like you'd imagine an actual crown to feel like. 👑✨There's... something special about it. It draws you in, fills your chest with a feeling of pride. You hold your head a bit higher and then you notice it-

The stranger that dropped the crown is already gone! What are you supposed to do now?

Are you running after them? Keep the crown to yourself or will you give it away to someone in the @ ? 🙊 There's a lot of things one could do with such a magical object...

What a strange thing to lose! I would run after them, if I could run, but since I can't, I'll try shouting. "Excuse me! Excuse me ah, Si-, er, Mad-, er, yes. You dropped something!"

See, I even lived in parts of the world where ppl go to get their vitamin D for a year shortly before they found I have.. pretty much none in my blood.

Thing is, I have a sun allergy (or rather, oversensitivity to UV radiation - I ‘just’ break out in hives but won’t get anaphylaxis) so I have to cover up and can’t get enough vitamin D that way. And it’s not like I eat salmon every day or something. And bc I’m super smart, it never occured to me that avoiding the sun could be a problem...

I’m not sure how this shows up for you, but the notification on my dash had the little horrified smilies, and the preview to this posts has little rectangles with question marks in them...

XD that's so sweet, I love that your brain doesn't go "would" but "will"! 💜🦭

I don't even know why I've been reblogging so much seal content lately, although I did see seals when I was in Santander in late November

1. What was the first piece of furniture you bought?

Good question.. I suppose something from/the whole IKEA haul when I moved to Hannover with my human? Although he paid there, I think half of it was put into the database as mine. In which case: mostly Ivar shelves XD I don't actually recall ever buying furniture and paying myself, come to think of it..

11. What's something you saved up for and then regretted buying?

If that exists, I successfully suppressed the memory. But I also don't tend to save up for things in general, I mostly either can afford it or don't buy it. Or I convince someone else to buy it for me I'm sure I must have bought something I saved up for at some point, but I can't remember.

Last thing I bought that I regretted was a t-shirt that I thought was Einstein's face in general relativity formulas but turned out to just be basic maths that have nothing to do with actual GR.. and I think that's the only thing I even remember buying that I regretted. Gotta love having a bad memory XD

33. What's something you collect?

Hmmm again nothing I really collect, but I do have *cough* some *cough* yarn and cat themed things. The former mostly self bought, the latter mostly gifts bc everyone knows I love cat things and it's easy to gift me something I'll love if it's cat themed. Oh, and tea. I have.. a bit.. of tea. Though if we're only counting tea with tea in it, I might still be under 50 different kinds.. it has been more than that before.

37. Do you still listen to the same music you listened to in high school?
