    The Dreams Thread

    I was really interested in lucid dreams and astral projection at some point in my life, probably because I wanted to work on my spirituality and creative skills and felt a bit lost. I listened to a lot of guided meditations with clear instructions for astral projection, guess I was hoping to...

    Language Learning Thread

    I recently heard that English as a foreign language is not exactly the same language natives speak but more of a universal version of English used all around the world by non-native speakers for education, business and other similar purposes in international context. As for French, I learned it...

    Share your favourite poems here

    I remember taking this poem as a synopsis for a writing assignment once, it's Raymond Carver. I'm not avid reader of poetry but most of poems I read I liked. MORNING, THINKING OF EMPIRE (1983) We press our lips to the enameled rim of the cups and know the grease that floats over the coffee...

    Favourite Quotes

    A local (actually regional) song saying sth like: Oh where are you night queens, do you wonder through the town somewhere? It's lyrics like any other but reminds me of how much I liked the night life and afterparties in my twenties even though I was very introverted, probably due to my...

    Favourite Quotes

    I recently had to get new (faster) internet and with it I got few TV channels even though I don't watch much TV except online. In one of the channels there was a documentary on Frida Kahlo. Long time ago I had art history class and tried painting but I'm probably better at photography. Still a...

    What cultures are you familiar with or inspired by?

    Dryer is probably for people who have a lot of clothes, there was one when I was living abroad for few years and I had some good and weird experiences with it. If I was living in a house I would probably dry the clothes outside, in the apartment I prefer the indoor breezy method, if I do get the...

    What cultures are you familiar with or inspired by?

    In summer it takes less time I think. Agree about the bed linen, perhaps it can fit if it's the only thing getting dried, or it can be folded.

    What made me happy today?

    In my early twenties I had a tour guiding summer job and Rome was one of the stops, didn't go to Italy ever since. I had to learn the night before what to say to the group the next day in the bus, overall a fun experience.

    What Are You Listening To?

    Yeah they have a calming effect. I like the "she makes the sound, the sound the sea makes" wordplay in Dissolve me, and both the video and the song are catchy and listener-friendly. I've mostly had songs with music videos from the first three albums on repeat, the recent album I don't know that...

    Total newcomer here. Hi!

    It's probably good for WF if it gets mentioned from time to time, despite my anxieties. I don't know about the bots, guess it was one of the reactions to the forum getting shut down, I read the info and very quickly registered here, there was probably a lot more going on that I don't know about.

    The Gaming Thread

    I was trying to remember the name of the game I was suggested long time ago by a game enthusiast I met in a musical site (Last). The game is called SOMA, according to Google it's a survival horror happening in a remote underwater research facility. Could be that I was listening to the type of...

    Total newcomer here. Hi!

    The previous WF had so many subforums that most of the topics I probably never read, and most people around here seem new to me or I to them considering I had 70 and sth posts in total since I first registered there 4, 5 years ago. This place seems more friendly and has the vibe of a smaller...

    What Are You Listening To?

    I liked most of Radiohead's music, with every album sounding in their style but at the same time with characteristics of a new genre. I read that part of the band has been playing under the band name The Smile in the last few years, will probably (re-)listen to few of their previous and recent...
