For "Body of Water" I said The St. Lawrence Seaway: Busy, fast, and crowded. How awkward of me. But I was in college! I was 23!

Why is that awkward?

I’m enjoying how a lot of people seem to have a name for the “body of water”. To me, water is just sea/lake/river rather than a particular place - maybe a British thing. Water is beautiful, I would love to live near it and watch it but also it makes me feel physically sick thinking of what lies beneath and life/mortality and all that means!

The question (I think) is refering to “a” body of water, namely a lake or a river.

My answers changed to about that. Used to be curious, thirsty, and romantic.

While you’re there look at video of how long a person can stay in a true anechoic chamber. Supposedly is so unnerving most people get nauseous and sick.
