1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
Totally. I stroll right on in with my nose held high and my ass unusually pert. If I don’t look good whilst wrestling with the heavy freezer doors guarding the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream then I fail at life.
2. Are the photos you post photoshopped or otherwise altered?
I crop them and add borders. Sometimes I even sneakily photoshop in frowning naked mole rats to see if people will notice. Some people have, but curiously they identify these inclusions as my face.
3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?
Of course. I send myself emails all the time.
4. Do you lie in your blog?
OK, I confess. I am actually a house cat by the name of Billy and my only interests are maiming the people around me.
5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
Quite possibly. I presume being anal is synonymous with that sentiment.
6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?
I try and make my writing more obscure and banal to test the stupidity threshold my readers have. They seem to be able to take a lot.
7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?
I probably should be - see the passive aggressive question.
8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?
It really depends. Sometimes I get comments that say ‘Ur blog sux’ and whilst I agree with them whole heartedly I also find it funny to change their comment to something equally inane such as ‘I wuffles u!!’
9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?
Always whilst reading my blog. I am egocentric and narcissistic like most bloggers. Next time you comment, bring tissue.
10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?
Probably less. I’m more difficult to get rid of in real life.
11. Do you have a job?
I used to work for my dad in a programming firm. It was fun but then I had to return to university.
12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?
At the moment blogging is the only thing I thoroughly enjoy in life in terms of a hobby, so I’d snap that offer up faster than it takes to feel bitter about it.
13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
There’s not many bloggers I want to meet. Personally I find most of them dull, irritating people - no I jest! Rachael is pretty cool, and we have met before
14. Which bloggers have you made out with?
Does Daniel Craig have a blog? Well, maybe not…
15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?
I think the first sentence on my about page states I am penniless.
16. Does your family read your blog?
I’ve asked them to a couple of times, but I think they’re intimidated by it. I don’t know if it’s in a ‘where did we go wrong raising our child’ sort of way or in a ‘we can’t be arsed’ way.
17. How old is your blog?
My blogging history is too much for any one individual to take (since around 2003).
18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care?
I have no clue what my statistics are. I checked them for the first time ever a while back to see how many people visited my site using Internet Explorer 6 - just wanted to know if it was worth tweaking the current design to accommodate them. Which I did.
19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being slutty, or a liar?
This is that secret blog.
20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?
Not that I know of. Give me ure monehz.
21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?
I wish I earned money from my blog. Any rich billionaires out there that want to invest?
22. Is blogging narcissistic?
Of course. All personal blogging is about feeding the ego, despite what people say. A website is a publication hence personal blogging is just an advertisement of the self whether it be on a shallow or insightful scale. Some just accept that fact better than others.
23. Do you feel guilty when you don’t post for a long time?
Sometimes. I get paranoid thinking the same entry has been up for a long time and often try and counter this with stupid posts that make people wonder why they ever come back. This is one of them.
24. Do you like John Mayer?
Whom? Isn’t he like Jack Johnson or am I confused?
25. Do you have enemies?
My neighbours. Some people at university. My cat.
26. Are you lonely?
Probably. I do have a happy life, but sometimes I wonder why I blog about my personal doings and if it’s because I crave attention from strangers. Hi there! Have any candy?
27. Why bother?
I don’t know, in the end I’ll probably be disappointed.
