Rayven: I like snow leopards 8u
I used to pretend I was a wolf xD
I used to put a sock in my shorts and say I had a tail and I'd howl at the moon u8
I would feel very awkward bossing people around 8u;
It'd be nice to learn to do things myself, but like with driving?
I don't think I can drive.
I tend to lose focus a lot and I don't think I should be in charge of a moving vehicle 8u
But it'd be nice to grab my keys and go.
Yeah, my mom was so irked by it that she told the teacher off xD
I end up asking questions a lot. Like "Can I eat this?" and people laugh at me because I ask.
But I've eaten stuff before and been yelled at for it.
Like really mean and hateful.
Tam: I highly suggest catfish 8D
Did you know they actually can get pretty damn big?
And did you know that people go fishing for them using their fists and arms?

Yup, I know how big they can get. I've seen how TAME those big ones can get if interacted with since they were small, too. One guy on TV would call his while running by the river and it'd swim alongside. He also fed it beans from a spoon. But that's because those big river cats are family critters. They raise their babies in a family of mom and dad.
Didn't know about the fishing method. Just knew my dad, who grew up in catfish country, hated the meat, so I never have tasted it yet.

Aww that's cute x3
Now I feel bad eating them.
Though I haven't eaten them in over a decade xD
Noodling is fishing for catfish using one's bare hands, and is practiced primarily in the southern United States. The noodler places their hand inside a discovered catfish hole.
Although the concept of catching fish with only the use of the arm in the water is simple, the process of noodling is more complicated. The choice of catfish as the prey is not arbitrary, but comes from the circumstances of their habitat. During the spawn, catfish will dig or enter a hole underneath a structure submerged in the water. The female will lay the eggs in the hole and the male will guard the eggs. When the eggs become fry, they will leave and the male will also leave the hole. To begin, a noodler goes underwater to depths ranging from only a few feet to twenty feet and places his hand inside a discovered catfish hole. If all goes as planned, the catfish will swim forward and latch onto the fisherman's hand, usually as a defensive maneuver, in order to try to escape the hole. If the fish is particularly large, the noodler can hook the hand around its gills.

Yeah, I didn't know about it until recent years.
I can't remember how I even came across it xD
I used to love watching the show called River Monsters.
I'd even put it on for bedtime because it helped me sleep xD
As someone that doesn't like being in water, let alone scaryass critters living in the water - I don't know how I took interest in this show.

You like scary stuff. To you, it was scary.

Tam-I know. I just thought it would be funny. XD
Catfish is very good but often tastes fishy. *wrinkles nose in disapproval* I don't care for fishy even though I'm eating fish. XD That's why I love swai so much, it tastes just like our catfish but it's not fishy.
A lot of people won't eat them because they're basically garbage disposals. XD As long as it's cooked I couldn't care less.
Moi-We were weird kids. XD Snow leopards are beautiful.
I know. I was just teasing. XD Asking them nicely will work too, most of the time. If it doesn't, you'll have to fire them.
XD Oh you'd be surprised what you can do if the result of doing it badly causes death. XD It is nice but after the newness wears off it's like, "I don't want to go. You go." XD
I bet. XD
I understand and I don't know why they laugh at you. O.o They should just tell you that you're welcome to it.
Wow! I didn't know people fished for catfish like that. They only use a fishing pole around here. XD I think I'll stick with a fishing pole, no fish is eating my hand. XD
River Monsters is a cool show but it makes me very leary about getting in the water. XD

I typically like scary stuff, but I don't like water or creepy critters in it u8;
I've driven before and did okay, but it wasn't too busy and not really the highway.
But I drove from my house, out into the country, and back just fine.
My dad lets me drive sometimes.
I don't like doing it because I don't have a license, but it is kinda of fun u8
They laugh because apparently it's ridiculous to ask permission to eat something that's for everyone to eat.
I shouldn't have to ask.
My grandpa and I used to go fishing a lot and I just had a pole with a line on it.
I caught some pretty decent sized fish, though 8u
Exactly. Screw water u8<

Funny, it wasn't big fish that scared me of going in the water. It was Swimmer's Ear.

When I was a kid, my teachers would take us to other teachers' swimming pools during summer.
I was swimming in the pool and someone shoved my head underwater and wouldn't let me up.
So I came close to drowning because someone thought it was hilarious to force my head underwater and not let me up xD
So I don't like being in the water.
We went to a water park not too many years ago and I was trying to get off my floaty thing, fell off, went underwater, freaked out, and frantically swam back to the surface xD
There's also penis worms and brain-eating amoebas in water 8u
