Random fact about me: I do not mind spiders in nature with scenery, but I do not particularly love spiders against like a white wall you may find one day in your house. (haha I am not sure if this is interesting!) I just automatically get scared...I love this video; it comforts me so much, especially your kalimba Avatar solo (Yesss!!! We love to see it!)
Thanks Terra!!💜 And you know what... that makes sense about the spiders! And I think something about spiders being in the house is worse because you know if you leave it alone then that it can be lurking somewhere 👀
I think people who can't drink unsweetened coffee probably need to try to acquire a taste for bitterness. I don't think that everyone will necessarily like coffee, but being able to tolerate and even enjoy something bitter adds an important dimension to taste. It definitely helped me stop eating like a child. If you like hot chocolate you might actually learn to like coffee, they have a similar flavor profile. I learned to drink coffee by having very small cups of black coffee, and usually something semi-sweet like a cookie to eat with it to relieve the bitterness if it gets too strong. Now when I drink a cup of coffee it doesn't actually taste bitter anymore, but if I do taste bitterness it's actually enjoyable, at least to a point. you can still taste something that's TOO bitter. Anyway, I do recommend to everyone to try to acquire a taste for black coffee! especially if you live someplace cold.

Also, although I make no claims as to musicianship, I can passably sing the bass parts of doo-wop songs. I am a listener and unrepentant physical media kind of guy. My recorded music library ranges temporally from Hildegard von Bingen (11,000 Virgins, Chants for the Feast of St. Ursula performed by Anonymous 4) to Jon Batiste (We Are); both highly recommended. Love your kalimba playing.
Random fact about me: I hadn't left the EU until the country I live in did 😅. I love your outro by the way, I always watch all the way through and it's very calming ❤️
You're such a sweet young woman, that I decided to listen to this to learn more about you... Thanx for sharing! I was a psych major at UC Sta Barbara in the early '70s, and my emphasis was child development; however, I picked up cultural anthro as a second major in senior yr, and wound up going into their grad program, where my focus was international migration (from Mexico to Cali). Somehow I made it a career, and retired just before covid hit to spend time in Thailand. After 2 months I came home to pack up and move there when covid closed the borders, and the company that was gonna sponsor my immigration visa went bankrupt... So here I stay in Humboldt county!
You're so kind- I really appreciate chatting with you! Another random fact, once I had a type of science summer camp in middle school that was hosted at a college campus to give the 'college feel', and my stay was at UCSB and I really liked that campus XD But anyway, how cool- with the various subjects you studied! And that's too bad about covid ruining your plans **sigh**. Hope you get the chance to see those plans through in the future Have a good day/night (whenever you read this lol)!
And top of the morning to you,@@iLiviesimone! So rare to stumbled on a YTer that actually appreciates chatting with admirers in the comments section; especially one that shines like a shy star on the medium. I hope that my lengthy response doesn't make you regret stating so! So please consider this the verbal meanderings of a retired academic, to be parsed or not at the fair reader's whim... It's so hard to believe that one so bright hasn't already done so much more than you allude to in this vid... Never been abroad?!? I first went to Mexico on surfing safaris as a teen. I hope you take advantage of your own proximity to that mysterious, lush country sometime in the future. Maybe your obviously great love of books provides the same mental depth that travel does for many others (at least those that avoid the tourist circuits)? I actually first visited UCSB as a young teen myself, muling -- before that was a term applied to this subject -- smuggled Afghani primo hashish and manufactured LSD in my backpack for the legendary Brotherhood of the Sun back in the late 60s. A fantastic book about that drug-cult is Orange Sunshine: www.amazon.com/Orange-Sunshine-Brotherhood-Eternal-Spread-ebook/dp/B004RCNVMG I'd stuff my backpack with the stuff fronted to me by my much older lover and join the multitude of youngsters then hitching the freeways to deliver to customers on college campuses down in SnDiego and as far north as UC Sta Cruz! I didn't imagine then that I'd later attend the uni between 73 and 76, and from 86 to 96 when I finally got the phd... During those decades we'd always remark about the hordes of kids that would descend each summer while most college kids were away. The most notorious were the "cheerleader camps" that were held at the towers known as Francisco Torres. Those cheerleaders had the very best parties! Finally, I'm afraid that my FarEast plan is likely derailed permanently... I loved Thailand, and I had a great plan of research to do in paradise, but the country remains locked down to this day, while alternative funding for such research is almost impossible to obtain due to the continuing global war on drugs. Alas! (However, as a lifelong academic, I have long since realized that "life is what happens while one is busy making other plans.") Cheers!
Love the hair. Random fact about me: amoung the many music genres I love, I'm also a huge fan of musicals and saw the amazing Lea Salonga in the original Miss Saigon in London (a long time ago lol!!!). TFS :)
Oh interesting! And I admittedly don't know many musicals, so I never heard of this one. But this makes total sense now because the family sitting next to me at her concert clearly had been very long time fans too and I heard them mention that, but I wasn't familiar
As I was watching I was shocked to see how much we had in common. I have a cat, I hate coleslaw, I had braces for a long time too (7 years) and had to have multiple surgeries for my teeth. So glad to be done with that 😂😂 I didn’t know how to do my hair until high school, I’m super indecisive and I love to read. And I just put twists in my hair a couple days ago. Also I worked at target for 3 years. We’re basically the same person😂
Interesting fact about me: I can't poop without a cup of coffee. At this point in time it's a necessity. I also hate Coleslaw. I don't understand haha. I love both coffee and hot chocolate. Btw Black Sun was one of my favorite books of last year. I'm excited to hear your thoughts.Oh heeyyyy I'm a Libra too and oddly enough I am also indecisive but once I decide I am steadfast about my choices.
Hey Alicia! OMG so you are the epitome of not being able to go the day without coffee huh? Coleslaw 🤮 the worst ingredients, worst texture.... I'm about 80 pages in and enjoying Black Sun! I'll be sure to share my thoughts on that and looks like that indecisiveness trait runs strong in us 😂
I appreciate you spreading the TRUTH about coleslaw 😂 Also a random fact about me is I've visited 8 countries. International travel can be overwhelming, but it's worth it!
The truth must come out- coleslaw can take several seats😩 and 8 countries! Wow! And I'm assuming you plan to add to that number when travel goes back to normal yeah?
@@iLiviesimone Absolutely! I have a friend living in London now and I've never been, so that's my next stop. Do you already have somewhere in mind you want to visit first?
I really like the new channel name. You are so lucky that you can twist your own hair! I’m allergic to cats and dogs too (most animals), and have a dog. The music at the end is so soothing.
Thanks B! And love that you enjoyed the ending music Also, glad to know there are plenty others out there who can relate to being allergic to animals yet having animals hahaha. Is there anything you do in particular which helps reduce the allergies?
If you’re into heights (even if you’re not unafraid of them) climbing might be a fun activity (fun fact about me, I love climbing but am also not unafraid of heights :‘D ). The hair is super cool!
I had an amazing opportunity back in 2011 to go to Florence, Italy. I have a much deeper appreciation for being in a country where you don’t know the language.
Ohhh my gosh, you're CRAZYYYY lol your foot was basically OUT the chopper. Yes, that's what I LOVE about my city (our tall bldgs & rooftops). I can't stand cole slaw & I also played the clarinet in H.S.
LOL- what's interesting is the helicopter never gave my that butterfly/scary feeling?? I would have put both feet out if they allowed it 😂 And love finding similarities! I kind of wish I played clarinet longer🤔
I find it so curious that so many people love coffee to such a large degree. I don't mind it but man people worship that drink. 😂 Its like a ritual every morning Don't have a fun fact but do have a story which I was reminded of when you put up that picture of a young you with your braids. When my sister was a child, my mom would always do her hair every morning for school. Usually, they were braids similar to the ones you had. All the teachers would always comment on my sisters hair and thought it was so pretty. Well one week, my mom was sick and was not able to fix my sister's hair in the mornings so my dad had to fix her hair. Well by the end of the week, the teachers pulled my sister aside and asked her if everything was right at home. They were so concerned that out of nowhere she started coming to school all disheveled and thought things at home were problematic. They even asked my older brother if everything was alright. We always remember that story and laugh about how bad of a job my dad did in doing my sisters hair. 😂
Omg!!! It reminds me a lot of the stories my mom has from when she was a kid, and her dad would have her looking.... ridiculous... for lack of better words lol. Never though to making the teachers legitimately concerned 😂 Hahaha, thanks for sharing that story!
Lol so my sister is super indecisive and go figure she’s also a libra 🙃! Fact about me is that I didn’t get my ears pierced until I was a senior in highschool and I solely did it for my senior pictures 🤷🏾♀️
This was a great way to get to know you (and hair turned really cute). I'm shocked that you've never had a cup of coffee though - not in a bad way, just in a "how?" way. Hans Zimmer sounds super cool to see in concert, just from the clip it looked awesome.
Hahaha! The coffee thing always surprise people XD and oh he was amazing in concert! Going all over and playing different instruments and going though all of his amazing soundtracks- highly recommend!
Random fact about me: I can name every UN recognised country in the world and its capital city. Lea Salonga is amazing (her version of On My Own from Les Miserables is my favourite) and I'm glad you got to see her live.
My husband is a Libra; I'm a Virgo but when you look at my birth chart my Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter are all Libra. I feel like a Virgo but I have a Libra's indecisiveness.
@@iLiviesimone You can get your chart from a bunch of different sites for free, you just need to know your birth date, time, and location. I'm no expert on what everything on my chart means, but my friend is super into astrology and over a decade or so of her talking about it I've picked up a decent understanding. I don't necessarily know if I believe in astrology, but the actual decoding of a chart is fun because it's like a puzzle and you can go as deep as you wish into it because there are so many layers. I don't agree with probably half of my chart, but I have so many aspects on my chart (25 total between my planets MC and AS with an orb of 5 or less) that my friend says when you start to look them up it explains a lot of the discrepancies I feel. One thing I do find with astrology (as well as personality tests and other divination) is that regardless of if they are actually true, they can help you improve yourself by making you have revelations about yourself that you might not have realized otherwise.
the squidward inspiration lol. I had braces for a while too, so glad I don't have them anymore. totally feel you on being indecisive. also your hair looks amazing!! :) fun fact: I have broken 5 bones in my life and most of them were when I was younger
I cannot accept this coleslaw slander 😤 I don't eat it often, but don't understand the hate 😅 I also didn't start doing my hair until secondary (high school), either. I still struggle a lot with it but I'm mainly focusing on growing it these days. An interesting fact about me is that I think I'm addicted to spicy food, to the point that I can feel a little nauseous if I don't eat it with certain meals. Also, I'm curious to know if you'll be continuing with your hair channel?
Hey Grace! I'm going to have to be the slanderer here- that's the one thing consistently since my childhood that I will never accept 🤣 Nice to have someone else though who relates to not doing their own hair for so long and then still struggling with it! And that is indeed interesting about the spicy food 👀 I also LOVE spicy food/sauces and feel the need to add it to so many of my meals. Also omg I am glad you asked about the hair channel- forgot to mention that! Honestly..... I cannot decide what to do with that 😩 Had I decided to change my name earlier, I may not have even created it. Now it seems odd to have them both. Maybe I'll keep it since it's solely hair content but yeah, there goes my indecisiveness lol
Me neither on the coffee thing. I don’t like tea either despite being British. I’m moving to LA next month and I’m dreading the conversations about me not liking tea despite being from London eughhhhh so old lol
Hahaha! I'm glad you liked this and omg I only got the kalimba because I took one look at it in a random video recommendation and thought: yup, imma need one of those asap 😂
I'm right handed but most things I do I find it easier to use my left hand, it's funny that you're the opposite :D It mostly happens when I have to do a task that requires both hands. For some reason my left hand becomes the dominant hand.
I wonder if we both have mixed- handedness🧐 I think I read somewhere that it's not quite ambidextrous, but more like what we both do- hmmmm Any who, thanks for sharing!
Random fact: I like word search puzzles! Your cat is cute! Love your hair! What type of products do you use, for example, leave in conditioner? Thanks!
Word search puzzles are GREAT! And thank you! I have been using products by Mielle and also Camille Rose for a while now. I currently have the leave in conditioner's from both of those brands and just pick a brand to go with when I style- love them both! (but especially Camille Rose stuff- the scent is my favorite in their stuff)
I also didn't start doing my own hair really until high school, before that my sister took me to the salon to get it done ("silk press" but idt it was called that back then lmao) every 2 weeks
LOL didn't know it was called a silk press either! Only learned the name of everything with youtube- and before I figured out natural hairstyles I was also just getting my hair straightened too
Can't believe your cat is in there with you but you didn't give us a look 😢 Coffee is so horrible, I've never had a cup full but I've tasted it when someone gave me a drink and I thought it was tea 🤢 Woop woop to fellow left handed Libra! Yaayyy we got a look at the cute fluff!!! Your hair looks great 😄
Hahaha- I had to give a look at kitty or else I would be worthy of unsubcribing 😂 and thank you! Also it's always cool to see what things people have in common my fellow left handed libra!
I am also allergic to cats - and have a big fluffy cat. Also allergic to dogs and we have a 12-year-old Basset Hound and just recently got a 4-month-old pup, but she is more hypoallergenic as she is mixed with poodle.
Hey Becky- only just now seeing your comment ahh! But any who, the things we do so we can have a furry companion around huh? And hurray for your new pup! I hope you have a nice day :)
How long do your twists lasts when you do them yourself? I’d love to save the money not going to the Salon but I’m not skilled enough (or at all) to make them last more than a week. Why did your rendition of Avatar make me want to cry???? fact about me: some of my favorite soundtracks are from Annihilation, Swiss Army Man, and Catching Fire.
This is my first time doing them and I can tell they will not be lasting as long as braids sadly, but I do think that they can be re-twisted fairly quickly. But yeah, I'm either going to take them out at the end of this week (so total they would have only last 2 weeks) or possibly retwist. Avatar's music is a gift to this world 🥺 I'm going to have to check out the Swiss Army Man soundtrack asap because hard agree with Annihilation and Catching Fire being favorites!!
Your hair looks really pretty 💖 A small change can be freeing, I hope you enjoy creating content with your new name :) Funfact: I'm a cancer but I'm as indecisive as my libra best friend so together we take our time planning things :')
One interesting fact: I don't like doing things alone lol I blame it on my big family, always being around family...I feel the need to have someone with me to do the simplest things smh
I hate coleslaw too, a combination of things I would never put together and I tell my mum every time she eats it ahah. I'm really indecisive as well, I just not good at making decisions. An interesting fact about me is when I got my ears pierced I was alright with getting them pierced but the first time I took the earrings out, I fainted. I have no idea why tbh haha.
Hi Sophie! coleslaw is almost entirely made of the stuff I pick out of other food 😩 🤢 and omg about the earrings!! I've never heard of a reaction like that- that is indeed interesting 😲
I subbed because you said you went to a Hans Zimmer concert. I've never been, but would love to attend. I'm also a Libra. I found this video after watching your LOTR video. And I found that after watching Just Some Guy's LOTR Karen video. You'll make it out of the country one of these days. Check out Nomadic Matt and Expert Vagabond. They're travel bloggers I follow. Great content. Btw, having a cat live with you while being allergic is pure love. Thank you for being an amazing person.
And thank you for watching and commenting! Your comment was a joy to read, and funny you mention Zimmer's concert- just yesterday I was googling if he was doing an American tour any time soon (no luck)
@@iLiviesimone You know, that would be a perfect time for you to visit another country. No need to wait around for an American concert. Go see the world and Hans Zimmer at the same time.
Interesting fact about myself: I am shocked at the Coleslaw slander! Lol Just joking... interesting fact about myself: I ended up in South Africa by accident. In a related note: you should visit this place someday if you ended up traveling outside the US! It can be a lot of fun
I know- first thing was coleslaw slander nobody asked for, but it had to be done 😩 By accident? Now that is *very* interesting- and on that related note: I have always wanted to travel there!
I kept them in for just about 3 weeks but that is because I still rarely leave the house 😂 they do not last long, and I kind of wish I took them out sooner
@@iLiviesimone I use nothing haha after being around them constantly my symptoms go away but if I spend a few days without them then I have to get reacclimated lol It took me until the end of last year to finally watch John Wick lol so I get being out of the loop. I highly recommend 😁😁😁
An interesting fact about myself... I was chased by a lion when I was a young lad... Obviously, I survived... because it was a lion cub that chased me... lol I dislike coleslaw, I'm left-handed, I'm indecisive, I use to work at a gym, I've only been to 2 concerts, I love views from heights... wait a minute...
@@iLiviesimone Had a CVA back in 2012 and after that it seems I decided that being a poor medical miracle was better than a writer/poet with all my mental faculties intact.
@@iLiviesimone I should have said this before and in different video, but I like your ideas about "adults" reading "children's" books. Ideas transcend most labels. Keep on keeping on with your loved ones and sometimes with the most of the rest of us!
Why..... have I never considered doing this?? Sock seams bother me so much too I am actually going to try this 😂 and glad to find another who recognizes that coleslaw does not need to exist :D
Hi Olivia, I just wanted to say your a gorgeous woman with a beautiful mind...you seem very special. a interesting fact about me, is i coach mediveal swordfighting to my buddys. :)

(haha I am not sure if this is interesting!) I just automatically get scared...I love this video; it comforts me so much, especially your kalimba Avatar solo (Yesss!!! We love to see it!)
Same! I can deal if they are outside. I’ll even get closer to take a look sometimes. But put them in my room or near me inside a house....
Thanks Terra!!💜
And you know what... that makes sense about the spiders! And I think something about spiders being in the house is worse because you know if you leave it alone then that it can be lurking somewhere 👀

Fact about me is that I didn’t get my ears pierced until I was a senior in highschool and I solely did it for my senior pictures 🤷🏾♀️
that trait runs strong it seems 😩
And LOL- I bet your senior pictures came out extra cute then!
This was a great way to get to know you (and hair turned really cute). I'm shocked that you've never had a cup of coffee though - not in a bad way, just in a "how?" way. Hans Zimmer sounds super cool to see in concert, just from the clip it looked awesome.
Hahaha! The coffee thing always surprise people XD
and oh he was amazing in concert! Going all over and playing different instruments and going though all of his amazing soundtracks- highly recommend!
Fun fact about me: I always struggle to find fun facts lol
Also, you look so pretty with that hair style
😂 wait, but I kind of relate because I had to keep googling 'interesting/fun fact questions'
and thank you!
Random fact about me: I can name every UN recognised country in the world and its capital city.
Lea Salonga is amazing (her version of On My Own from Les Miserables is my favourite) and I'm glad you got to see her live.
okay that is SERIOUSLY impressive. I'm sure when anything related to that comes up in trivia you reign supreme. And glad you also love Lea!
My husband is a Libra; I'm a Virgo but when you look at my birth chart my Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter are all Libra. I feel like a Virgo but I have a Libra's indecisiveness.
See, I gotta find my full birth chart info because I'm super curious about the rest of my chart! Love this💜
@@iLiviesimone You can get your chart from a bunch of different sites for free, you just need to know your birth date, time, and location.
I'm no expert on what everything on my chart means, but my friend is super into astrology and over a decade or so of her talking about it I've picked up a decent understanding. I don't necessarily know if I believe in astrology, but the actual decoding of a chart is fun because it's like a puzzle and you can go as deep as you wish into it because there are so many layers. I don't agree with probably half of my chart, but I have so many aspects on my chart (25 total between my planets MC and AS with an orb of 5 or less) that my friend says when you start to look them up it explains a lot of the discrepancies I feel. One thing I do find with astrology (as well as personality tests and other divination) is that regardless of if they are actually true, they can help you improve yourself by making you have revelations about yourself that you might not have realized otherwise.
This video is very precious:)
This comment is so kind :)
By the way, it's always a joy to see a comment from you! Thanks for sticking around, and I hope you have a good day 😄
Love this video
Thank you Sharlize!
the squidward inspiration lol. I had braces for a while too, so glad I don't have them anymore.
totally feel you on being indecisive. also your hair looks amazing!! :)
fun fact: I have broken 5 bones in my life and most of them were when I was younger
Julia- FIVE?!?!?! Omg- I believe I once broke my arm when I was also younger, but I was very little and don't recall at all.
And thank you!
I cannot accept this coleslaw slander 😤 I don't eat it often, but don't understand the hate 😅
I also didn't start doing my hair until secondary (high school), either. I still struggle a lot with it but I'm mainly focusing on growing it these days.
An interesting fact about me is that I think I'm addicted to spicy food, to the point that I can feel a little nauseous if I don't eat it with certain meals.
Also, I'm curious to know if you'll be continuing with your hair channel?
Hey Grace!
I'm going to have to be the slanderer here- that's the one thing consistently since my childhood that I will never accept 🤣
Nice to have someone else though who relates to not doing their own hair for so long and then still struggling with it!
And that is indeed interesting about the spicy food 👀 I also LOVE spicy food/sauces and feel the need to add it to so many of my meals.
Also omg I am glad you asked about the hair channel- forgot to mention that! Honestly..... I cannot decide what to do with that 😩
Had I decided to change my name earlier, I may not have even created it. Now it seems odd to have them both. Maybe I'll keep it since it's solely hair content but yeah, there goes my indecisiveness lol
Omg. Girl I had the twin thing happened to me in college. I was so MIND BLOWN
!! Ahahahaha!!!! I still cannot believe that happened 😂
Me neither on the coffee thing. I don’t like tea either despite being British. I’m moving to LA next month and I’m dreading the conversations about me not liking tea despite being from London eughhhhh so old lol
LOL- well glad some relates! And wishing you a smooth move out to LA :)
I relate so much to the Libra thing XD I was also wondering where you got your kalimba??
I am actually not sure where it was brought from because it was a Christmas gift, but the box says it's a 'Gecko 17 key kalimba' :D
@@iLiviesimone Thanks!!!
I loved this get to know me! And how bad did you make me want to learn the kalimba 😂💕💕💕💕😍😍
Hahaha! I'm glad you liked this and omg I only got the kalimba because I took one look at it in a random video recommendation and thought: yup, imma need one of those asap 😂
I'm right handed but most things I do I find it easier to use my left hand, it's funny that you're the opposite :D It mostly happens when I have to do a task that requires both hands. For some reason my left hand becomes the dominant hand.
I wonder if we both have mixed- handedness🧐 I think I read somewhere that it's not quite ambidextrous, but more like what we both do- hmmmm
Any who, thanks for sharing!
Random fact: I like word search puzzles! Your cat is cute! Love your hair! What type of products do you use, for example, leave in conditioner? Thanks!
Word search puzzles are GREAT!
And thank you! I have been using products by Mielle and also Camille Rose for a while now. I currently have the leave in conditioner's from both of those brands and just pick a brand to go with when I style- love them both! (but especially Camille Rose stuff- the scent is my favorite in their stuff)
I also didn't start doing my own hair really until high school, before that my sister took me to the salon to get it done ("silk press" but idt it was called that back then lmao) every 2 weeks
LOL didn't know it was called a silk press either! Only learned the name of everything with youtube- and before I figured out natural hairstyles I was also just getting my hair straightened too
loved getting to know you!! it's so surprising to me that you've never had coffee omg i have it every single day so i couldn't imagine not having it.
Hi!
See, I have the feeling that if I tried coffee, I would become a daily drinker 😂
Can't believe your cat is in there with you but you didn't give us a look 😢
Coffee is so horrible, I've never had a cup full but I've tasted it when someone gave me a drink and I thought it was tea 🤢
Woop woop to fellow left handed Libra!
Yaayyy we got a look at the cute fluff!!!
Your hair looks great 😄
Hahaha- I had to give a look at kitty or else I would be worthy of unsubcribing 😂
and thank you! Also it's always cool to see what things people have in common my fellow left handed libra!
I am also allergic to cats - and have a big fluffy cat. Also allergic to dogs and we have a 12-year-old Basset Hound and just recently got a 4-month-old pup, but she is more hypoallergenic as she is mixed with poodle.
Hey Becky- only just now seeing your comment ahh!
But any who, the things we do so we can have a furry companion around huh? And hurray for your new pup! I hope you have a nice day :)
Wanted to come by and say hey once more.
Hey!! 👋🏾 Thanks for stopping by again :D
I love your hair 💖💖💖
Thank you Sara💜
How long do your twists lasts when you do them yourself? I’d love to save the money not going to the Salon but I’m not skilled enough (or at all) to make them last more than a week.
Why did your rendition of Avatar make me want to cry????
fact about me: some of my favorite soundtracks are from Annihilation, Swiss Army Man, and Catching Fire.
This is my first time doing them and I can tell they will not be lasting as long as braids sadly, but I do think that they can be re-twisted fairly quickly. But yeah, I'm either going to take them out at the end of this week (so total they would have only last 2 weeks) or possibly retwist.
Avatar's music is a gift to this world 🥺
I'm going to have to check out the Swiss Army Man soundtrack asap because hard agree with Annihilation and Catching Fire being favorites!!
Your hair looks really pretty 💖 A small change can be freeing, I hope you enjoy creating content with your new name :)
Funfact: I'm a cancer but I'm as indecisive as my libra best friend so together we take our time planning things :')
Thank you!!! 💜
and taking your time planning things... I would fit right in with you there 😂
One interesting fact: I don't like doing things alone lol I blame it on my big family, always being around family...I feel the need to have someone with me to do the simplest things smh
If you've always been around a huge family I totally get that! Looking around like hey, there are not enough people here for my liking XD
I hate coleslaw too, a combination of things I would never put together and I tell my mum every time she eats it ahah. I'm really indecisive as well, I just not good at making decisions. An interesting fact about me is when I got my ears pierced I was alright with getting them pierced but the first time I took the earrings out, I fainted. I have no idea why tbh haha.
Hi Sophie!
coleslaw is almost entirely made of the stuff I pick out of other food 😩 🤢
and omg about the earrings!! I've never heard of a reaction like that- that is indeed interesting 😲
You're very pretty and inspirational. I'm a new subscriber.
You’re so kind- thank you 💜
I subbed because you said you went to a Hans Zimmer concert. I've never been, but would love to attend. I'm also a Libra. I found this video after watching your LOTR video. And I found that after watching Just Some Guy's LOTR Karen video. You'll make it out of the country one of these days. Check out Nomadic Matt and Expert Vagabond. They're travel bloggers I follow. Great content. Btw, having a cat live with you while being allergic is pure love. Thank you for being an amazing person.
And thank you for watching and commenting! Your comment was a joy to read, and funny you mention Zimmer's concert- just yesterday I was googling if he was doing an American tour any time soon (no luck)
@@iLiviesimone You know, that would be a perfect time for you to visit another country. No need to wait around for an American concert. Go see the world and Hans Zimmer at the same time.
Interesting fact about myself: I am shocked at the Coleslaw slander! Lol
Just joking... interesting fact about myself: I ended up in South Africa by accident.
In a related note: you should visit this place someday if you ended up traveling outside the US! It can be a lot of fun
I know- first thing was coleslaw slander nobody asked for, but it had to be done 😩
By accident? Now that is *very* interesting- and on that related note: I have always wanted to travel there!
@@iLiviesimone if/when you do I will play host and show you around!
how long do you keep in the braids
I kept them in for just about 3 weeks but that is because I still rarely leave the house 😂 they do not last long, and I kind of wish I took them out sooner
@@iLiviesimone thank you
@@iLiviesimone I completely understand I once kept on my braids for 2 months 🙊
I am also allergic to cats and it doesn't stop me lol
Random fact for me is I get obsessed with things and my current obsession is John Wick 😻
Lol! Do you do/use anything in particular that helps with the allergies?
And I am sooo out the loop with John Wick and know I need to get on it!
@@iLiviesimone I use nothing haha after being around them constantly my symptoms go away but if I spend a few days without them then I have to get reacclimated lol
It took me until the end of last year to finally watch John Wick lol so I get being out of the loop. I highly recommend 😁😁😁
I’m nearly 24 and I haven’t had a cup of coffee either. I’m more of a water kinda girl 🙌🏻
Aideen, I didn't know we were the same age! I'll be 24 later this year
and looks like we can start the no-coffee drinkers club 👀
Lmao love the ex-name meme
I love that a failed, miserable musician like squidward influenced what instrument you wanted to learn
LOL- you know, I never thought of it like that and now I am even happier that's why I picked it XD
An interesting fact about myself... I was chased by a lion when I was a young lad... Obviously, I survived... because it was a lion cub that chased me... lol
I dislike coleslaw, I'm left-handed, I'm indecisive, I use to work at a gym, I've only been to 2 concerts, I love views from heights... wait a minute...
😂😂😂😂😂
I am so glad I asked for others to share their interesting facts because this is a gem of a comment
Interesting fact about me: I used to write poems.
Nice! And why used to?
@@iLiviesimone Had a CVA back in 2012 and after that it seems I decided that being a poor medical miracle was better than a writer/poet with all my mental faculties intact.
@@Paltse I'm glad you're still around even if not writing poetry- wishing you all the best!
@@iLiviesimone I should have said this before and in different video, but I like your ideas about "adults" reading "children's" books. Ideas transcend most labels. Keep on keeping on with your loved ones and sometimes with the most of the rest of us!
Fun fact about me: I wear my socks inside out because the seam irritates me so badly.
I agree, coleslaw is disgusting.
Why..... have I never considered doing this?? Sock seams bother me so much too I am actually going to try this 😂
and glad to find another who recognizes that coleslaw does not need to exist :D
no more iLivieforBOOKS?? SCANDAL!! 😱
😂
please Cam, do not alert the press 😨
I hate Colslaw😭 you aren’t alone!
7:48 Can’t resist the cats😂
Coleslaw: exists
me: and I took that personally
@@iLiviesimone ahh best comment ever😂
Hi Olivia, I just wanted to say your a gorgeous woman with a beautiful mind...you seem very special. a interesting fact about me, is i coach mediveal swordfighting to my buddys. :)
Yes! Coleslaw is disgusting and Hot chocolate over Coffee any day. But chocolate almond milk over all
**takes notes for chocolate almond milk**
😂💜
Cole Slaw Sucks...but you Really Need Coffee...
