∻ TRUE or FALSE ∻

[Shelti]

Please answer TRUE or FALSE to each

statement, then leave another one

for the next person, and I will begin with ~

You know how to eat
withchopsticks

[Angharad]

Yes. I did it as a job at the Smithsonian many years ago. One of my favorite jobs. ツ

You've had several unusual varieties of fern.

[Westerly_2]

I've had different ferns die on me. My thumb is red for ferns.

You once, or are now engaging in dream therapy. 

[Angharad]

Nope.

You have more nightmares than happy dreams. 

[Westerly_2]

Yeah, well, at least anxious or worrisome dreams

You like stories with a happy ending.

[Angharad]

Yes. But the characters have to work for it. ツ

You prefer music in a minor rather than a major key.

[Westerly_2]

What is a minor or major, and how ca  you tell the diff?

I am partial to folk music with banjos and fiddles, and also like listening to the music in the Nutcracker ballet

For a while in your life you attended some local performance of the Nutcracker,  in the season

[Angharad]

Geez. I can't really explain that quickly. An easy way to express the overall sound difference in a non-technical way is that music created from the major scale harmony sounds upbeat, strong, straightforward, and happy (an example is Everly Brothers "Bye Bye Love" in the key of A major); while music created from the minor scale harmony sounds mysterious, sensual, wistful, or sad (an example is The Animals "The House of the Rising Sun" in the key of A minor). I hope that kind of explains the sound difference, at least. Here's a YouTube video which explains the difference between a major and minor scale and a major and minor chord (using a guitar): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGsmDnn0_cg

And back to the game--hahaha!

Yes, I did. And when I was younger, I danced in it. ツ

You LOVE (or used to) going to music festivals.

[Westerly_2]

Wow! Tiny dancer. So talented. Yes, I did.  We went to pro festivals, but also "hootenanies" with amateur, local talent

I'm now asking if you prefer music in the major key.

[Angharad]

No, I'm a minor key girl all the way. I like mystery, and hope glowing just beyond a terrible storm.

You think cactus are interesting.

[Westerly_2]

Yes

Your grandma or someone like that always had cactuses in a sunny window.

[Angharad]

No. 

Your father wore a tie to work.

[Westerly_2]

No. He assembled propellers at Pratt & Whitney

You mom wore housedresses, never slacks, until the late 50's or beyond. ( I forgot the year Audrey Hepburn sported them in the movies)
