Summary of some interesting topics from yesterday's late night fishing stream:
Someone asked her if she drives and she said she doesn't have a license and also doesn't really enjoy being in cars in general. When she was a kid, she was in a car and witnessed a traffic accident at a crossing right in front of her (thankfully it wasn't too bad) and the shock kind of stayed with her, so she never had any interest in driving herself.
I think she told this story before, but when she was in elementary school and lived in a rural area, she was a little wild and often went and played out in the mountains. She and some other kids she knew, 4 boys and 3 girls in total, built a secret base out of cardboard boxes and stuff in the mountains near where she lived together. They kept going there after school to hang out, play in nature, collect bugs or play on their game boys and stuff like that. One day when the girls weren't there, the boys had the bright idea to start a fire to grill some apples and they got busted by the teachers since someone saw the smoke and they tattled and told the teacher that the girls were involved in the secret base too and everyone got in trouble and they had to get rid of the base.
Also, back then, she used to be very good with bugs (less so now), so once she picked up a mantis and let it ride on her shoulder and took it to school that day. She showed it to the science teacher and he told her that it had a parasite (horsehair worms) and showed it to everyone and explained the concept to them. That kind of made her curious about parasites them since it seemed so alien to her, so she occasionally researches them. She then talked about she still has phases like that sometimes, she finds a topic she doesn't know much about and gets really interested in it and keeps researching it. Recently, she has been interested in space, for examples unknown sounds that were detected coming from space or theories about what happens when you enter a black hole etc. She doesn't really understand most of it but is still very curious about this kind of stuff and finds it fascinating.
Someone asked her if she believes in ghosts or aliens or whatever and she says she doesn't really know but she thinks it would be interesting if they existed. Maybe they exist in a space we can't perceive them or something like that, that would be interesting. She then talked about some other occult stuff like time travelers or people that can talk to dead people and stuff like that. She seems more interested in what would be interesting rather than what actually exists or not in general with stuff like this.
As for whether there is life after death, she would need to know if something like a soul exist to begin with. She said she heard that people that die get a few grams lighter than before and that that could be the soul leaving the body, that would be interesting. She then explained how souls work in FF14 and that she thinks she really likes the concept. Someone asked her what she would want to become in the next life if something like that exists, but she doesn't really know. Someone suggested a cat and she thought it would probably be nice.
Pretty interesting topics today.
