How would you describe yourself to someone?

I describe myself to someone?

Um, I’m shy, so don’t expect too much when you first meet me.

I’m also weird and quirky and funny once I get to know you, and I am comfortable around you.

I’m a bookworm, and I love to write. I try to look on the bright side and let go of things, for I wouldn’t say I like being weighed down by something.

I’m quiet when I want to be and when I’m just not in the mood to let any more negative things in my life.

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

Bring back one dinosaur; it would be.

As a child, I loved land before time, and Little Foot was my favorite, so if dinosaurs were to come back and I could only bring one, it would be Apatosaurus.

If I bring them back, where would it live? And would we be friends because it could live for 152 years, and I, indeed, would be gone before then?

But it would be nice to watch it out in nature and learn about it more and see what it would be like to live at the same time a dinosaur does.

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

Two free plane tickets: Where would I go?

I would say Paris and Greece and I would take my time seeing everything.

I would live each day as my last on these two trips, for I know it won’t happen again so easily.

I would eat until I was full and enjoy and take in it all, step out of my comfort zone, and smile and laugh with whoever I ended up hanging with.

I would enjoy and take lots of pictures, and when it all is said and done, I will be grateful for this opportunity and count down the days until my next adventure.

What’s the story behind your nickname?

The story behind my nickname? I don’t think there is a big story of how annoying or frustrating it is that I have a nickname.

Some people can’t say my name, Deirdre, and I always say it’s like deer then druh.

So when I get tired of repeating myself, D or Dee is formed. Even though those are the nicknames my sisters have for me, they can say my name, but for the rest, I just let it be.

If you can’t say it, it’s okay. There are names I can’t say but I give those who try the benefit.

I am just glad to be done with school, for I always corrected the teacher during roll call what my name was. Now, I don’t have the energy.

What are your future travel plans?

Traveling plans?

I would like to travel to Europe

And go to Paris, London, Italy, Venice, and Germany and many other places.

I would love to see the different styles of the building we studied in my interior design classes and places I learned in Latin as well.

I love art, so I want to visit tons of museums and see more of the beauty of the world.

Also, I would love to visit their beaches and, oh, I almost forgot to say, try the different foods.

I hope not to forget these plans for I’d hate to let life pass me by and I not go. So, I hope and pray I get to go in the near future.

What do you listen to while you work?

I listen to when I’m at work?

I usually listen to hyped up music that gets me in the mood.

So, my sometimes stressful nightshift is not so bad.

So maybe some Bruno Mars and Becky G and Adele and Andy Grammer and anything that makes me feel good and energetic.

I love music but sometimes I do listen to audiobooks and podcasts.

What’s your go-to comfort food?

Comfort food? It would be chocolate or ice cream, which melt the sorrows or frustration away.

But lately, ice cream and water is my saving grace with all this heat outside.

Ice cream may be a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips, but it’s worth saving, as changes are being made all around.

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

My favorite board games and games as a child were Monopoly and the game clue and Candy Land. 7up was a good one, and Scrabble.

Then came video games on my sega like Sonic the Hedgehog and the Animaniacs and an educational game of brother bear and sister bear.

And then onto PlayStation games like Kingdom Hearts and now I play Sims 4 on PC and Hogwarts on PlayStation.

But when I’m not doing that, I’m reading and writing.

These games are in my memories, and maybe one day I will play them again.

What foods would you like to make?

Would I like to make? Um, something delicious and new for me.

Like a dessert like

Some yummy and healthy too. Maybe I will make it soon.

Dogs or cats?

I will always choice Dog as I have always loved dogs and have wanted different types of dogs, like golden retrievers and German shepherds.

There are just so many cute and friendly dogs I have met and played with.

Now I spend my free time playing with my dog whose a family dog.

He has his own voice and uses it quite often and like head rubs way to much.

But his a good and loving dog and makes the world a brighter place. Ten years of fun and getting trouble when no one’s watching. He loves to nap most days and play fetch now and then and loves his walks outside smelling everything insight.

Which activities make you lose track of time?

Me lose track of time?

Reading and playing video games, writing and TV shows and movies.

Lately, it’s been video games as I get into the new Hogwarts.

Then it would be reading because I can’t get enough of the great books I have read lately or so far this year.

I would also say TikTok and Instagram sometimes I get sucked in. But some of the reels can be useful and educational, but I try to stay away, or I won’t get anything done.

I am trying to use my time wisely lately. As I have so much, I want to get done this year.

So, let’s all get lost in the things that will help us grow and improve this year.

What bothers you and why?

Me and why?

We’re all human, so of course, there are tons of things that bother us.

I think what bothers me is liars who continually make up lies and put you in stressful situations because they don’t want to show up.

The ones who lie and try to look for you to help them out in the lie because they don’t want to look bad.

Or maybe it’s because they lie so much they can’t keep things straight.

Or I love it when they lie about something that you happen to witness with them, and you play dumb because you don’t want to be a part of their lie, and you know the truth.

I try not to let the liar and their bad habit bother me too much but it’s hard to forget something that keeps happening.

It bothers me, and I don’t rely on those people. Because they will break your trust and disappoint you, and they don’t care how they hurt or stress you out, for in their eyes, it’s all about them.

So why bother worrying about it, for it doesn’t bother them anyways.

But I know at the moment, I am angry and tired and stressed, but I get through the day, and later on, it doesn’t bother me until it happens again.

Like an endless cycle of lies and wasted energy on someone who will never learn as long as you are around, I guess you could always play their game on them, but who is that helping in the end?

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Great question, unless, like me, you work nights, and when you sleep, it could be 8:30 am, and you wake up three or five hours later, and if you are lucky, you sleep for seven hours.

And let’s not talk about when I’m off because sometimes I am in bed before 7:30 or 10 pm depends on if I push myself to stay up.

Then I could wake up at 3 am or 5 am, but it’s the life I live for Nightshift, and it’s great when I do get sleep. But I’m still tired, like an hour or two later.

So yes, this prompt isn’t for me but for someone who sleeps on a set schedule, but I felt the need to write, so here I am, not tired but glad to be inside because it’s hot out today.

I hope everyone has a blessed day and enjoyed my rambling on today’s prompt!
