It's in the interest of science. Part 2 of my "statistics about people crazy enough to read anything on a computer screen" project. (Adapted from Cate's little list yesterday)
1. Who are you? Please be specific. Blogger well known for her poor memory.
2. Are we friends? AKA: Do you frequently wish I would stop speaking to you?
3. Do you rue the day we met or just regret it a little?
4. Do you have a crush on me? Please feel free to change your name to protect the innocent.
5. How certain are you that I'm flirting with you?
6. Which is your favorite of my many nicknames? Why?
7. Describe me in at least a small paragraph, preferably less than 2 scrolls but more than 500 words.
8. What was your first impression of the situation in Iraq?
9. Do you still think that way about me now?
10. What reminds you of me?
11. If you could give me anything what would it be? I like expensive presents, so include average eBay value of gift.
12. How well do you know me? Okay, this one actually captured my curiosity...
13. When's the last time you saw me? Lurking in bushes doesn't count.
14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't? Was it because I stopped listening or because my attention span was too short for you to finish the statement?
15. Are you racked with anguish regarding my opinion of you?
Happy weekend all! I'll be seeing Wicked at the Pantages - so excited! But it'll be my first foray into social life in over a week*. Wish me luck!
*That's how long it's been since I announced myself unfit for human company (see TV post).
25 comments:
1. omar. The awesomely awesome married guy who is forever on the cutting edge.
2. I wouldn't say frequently...
3. We've never actually met, but if we did, I'm sure I'd be in the "just regret it a little" category.
4. Um, I'm married.
5. Quite certain. In fact, I may be so bold as to say I'm positive.
6. glo. Because I'm pretty sure I was the first to use that. If anyone wants to challenge me on that, I'll need documented proof (as in a dated link to a comment you made).
7. I wrote up a description, but my lawyer is still reviewing it.
8. What? Um, I thought it was bad?
9. What? I'm so confused.
10. Conundrums. And now, weekend wenches too.
11. 1 year of retainer-free legal counsel. Value depends on how often you find yourself needing it.
12. I don't know you know you, like in the biblical sense. I know the blog version of you pretty well, but I'd bet there is 95% more of you that I don't know at all.
13. You mean the time I was lurking in the bushes watching you, or the time I saw you you lurking in the bushes watching jon?
14. Actually, yes.
15. Again, yes.
1. Cate. The FBI won’t let me be more specific than that.
2. It’s possible. It’s also possible that I’m extremely deluded on that particular point.
3. I don’t remember the day we met. Is that bad?
4. Totally
5. You flirt with everyone, right?
6. G.Lo. As it is singular proof of how clever I am.
7.A Haiku:
real and cyber fun-
glowy blogging buddy, pal-
most fabulous friend
8. No comment.
9. See above.
10. Anything Whedon-verse. Anything witty.
11. A solution to your current conundrum(s).
12. Pretty well, I think, after six years.
13. A whirlwind Easter weekend.
14. Watch the Sharpe series!
15. I try not to be.
1. adrianne. female. USA.
2. sort of--computer/blog friends
3. we've never met, although if it's "meeting" in the blog world, then no to both. I was excited.
4. Obviously.
5. Fairly.
6. I don't know them all. I only know Glo. Which I have yet to decipher the meaning of.
7. Funny and realistic. Not a Molly, which is refreshing. Open-minded.
8. Oh crap.
9. Yep.
10. Hmm...I don't know...
11. A creepy-super-Mormon-related gift that would be hilarious because of its creepiness.
12. Um, as well as you describe yourself
13. Never
14. Not yet.
15. OF COURSE!
Everyone deserves a response and I'll get to it -- but, first --
Mel, you really are the coolest, most incredibly, wow! why do you live so far away? new person I have met.
The gift? So perfect I nearly cried. Value? Truly, truly priceless...
1. I am Woman, hear me roar. Who needs specifics?
2. Yes
3. I think you tagged along with Cate, being snooty about both of our musical tastes.
4. Sorry, no. I don't have a lot of crushes. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
5. So far you've just been trying to teach me how to flirt. Different.
6. Glo, because it's easier to type than G-Lo, but cunningly suggests both that and a general glowingness. Which are cool.
7. Chatty. Complicated.
8. Don't get me started.
9. Yes.
10. Star Wars, Spike, Mormons and vegetables. And breasts. Obviously.
11. A Mormon man who could tease back. Not sure those allow themselves to be flogged on eBay, so value indeterminate.
12. I still don't understand that singing story, so not very.
13. Never. But you stay in touch. Good girl.
14. Mm, yes, maybe. Short attention span definitely to blame.
15. Nah... you wouldn't still be talking to me if you weren't generally approving. One presumes.
Yikes. I have been a bit obnoxious and complicated, haven't I? If it's any consolation, that's the growing consensus from people in my real life as well...
...perhaps will delay that going out after all.
ah! i want to do this but i don't have time. in two weeks i'll come back and then leave it as a comment on an unrelated post.
Nobody's said obnoxious, dear. Complicated is a different question. I've been called complicated many times. Some of those times it probably meant "difficult", but I've been telling myself it definitely never meant "crazy bitch". Or even obnoxious. No, definitely not. ;-)
Whoa. I thought that last answer to #6 said "Call Girl."
Omar! Call girl? "Chicken stroking?" Dude. Maybe you need to re-establish your routine, get back to A/C-free work. Spend less time in the garden. Something.
And Jasmine - *excellent* plan. Think I'll do the same.
1. RaJ (commenting as anonymous, otherwise this seems totally redundant, and more than a little repetitive.
2. Dear Friend, no. Aside: I mean no disrespect but the acronym AKA does not fit this context. Sincerely, T. Nitpicker.
3. Since we have not yet technically met, I cannot provide a less meaningless answer to this question.
4. Y'know, offering the name change option might have worked better *before* #1.
5. How evasive I mean certain should I be?
6. G.Lo, because it works as a nickname, a noun ("...pull a G.Lo"), a verb ("I might G.Lo this post") and probably several other forms I haven't tried.
7. Gladly, but I must defer for now. Hyperlink available soon.
8. Quite the conundrum.
9. I had no idea.
10. Enigmatic graffiti.
11. Your heart's desire, of course. Or an iPod, maybe.
12. As well as you have chosen to reveal. Virtually speaking, of course.
13. --
14. I think, not yet.
15. "I care." -- Luke, to Leia's back.
And a happy weekend to you too.
1. Amber, the chick Cate got the list from
2. Not sure yet. I did leave something for you on my blog.
3. Since we never met I have nothng to say.
4. Not really, cool kid.
5. uncertain, but I'm dense that makes it easy to be shameless
6. only know g-lo, which I like because I like pretending I'm street.
7. another cool kid I'm trying to persuade to be my pal and visit my blog
8. boy was Nostradamus wrong
9. yes :P

11. the queen anne 2

12. how many questions are left?
13. where did you get these questions?
14. i can't i'm tired.
15. i'm racked but not in anguish
1. 'Tis I, the oversexed teenager born on the fourth day of the tenth month.
2. We're acquainted, I guess.
3. Don't regret it at all. If I didn't meet you, I wouldn't be answering such wonderfully designed questionnaires.
4. Probably. We need to hang out more, then I'd know for sure.
5. Six?
6. G.Lo. Because then you could be a Gloria Lopez and demand some candles and a white dressing room.
7. Funny girl from California who makes me laugh a lot.
8. "What the hell?"
9. Yeah, but in a different, more friendly kind of way.
10. The words "glorious", "conundrum" and "glow".
11. A portable Statcounter. Priceless.
12. Three?
13. Never.
14. Don't remember. I have a short attention span too; we should get along just fine.
15. No, not really. "Anguish" is a strong word.
---X
The number one reason I love blogging? The comments make me giggle outrageously! You guys are priceless...now I have to compile some stats to do you justice.
Oh, and Demosthenes, you had me at "you seem nice enough". I am utterly swooned. Consider yourself pinged for a comments hijack in the near future.
See the rest of you soon as well...
I'm going to have to come back later (sorry, Jas, not being a copycat on purpose) for reasons you can read on my blog (if ya wanna) but just wanted to add to your statcounter for today...hee.
Still waiting for my personal response...
1. Syar. i frequently laughed at your funny comments on jazz's and omar's blog before finally getting off my lazy ass and clicking my way to your blog. this is my 2nd time here.
2. No and no. our relationship is that of blogger and blog reader. but i like you tho. not in *that* way of course, at least not yet.
3. rue*snigger*. Erm, no.
4. Refer to number 2.
5. I'm never certain when anybody's flirting with me.
6. glo and g.lo are the only ones I know. i like the first one. incidentally, both are j.lo related. huh. dunno how much you like her so I shall go no further.
7. errrr....don't think i know you well enough to describe you. but you do make me laugh, whether you know it or not and that's a good thing.
8. sigh. *shakes head* here we go again.
9. uh...erm...huh...*sweats*...
*gulps*...the answer is 42!!
10. omar. jazz. perfume. glowing.
11. nothing that could be as good as previous gifts suggested above. hmmm, lemme get back to you.
12. not very well. but i am *intensely curious* to know you. you seem very interesting.
13. maybe in another life. but in this lifetime, never.
14. no, not really.
15. again, not really. do you want me to be?
Hmm. Omar. The guy who knows too many of my secrets. If it weren't for my commitment to InternAndy and that pesky marital status (thanks for reminding us constantly, omar), I would kick the rest of y'all out of this blog and turn into All Omar Praise, All the Time...
Demo - not a problem! I am always happy to fulfill any request. And rereading your comment, really it was the first word that cut me deep...
syar - as i created none of the nicknames, the J-Lo references are not personal, although I shudder to imagine what the creators were responding to when they named me.
I like the sound of that, glo. Perhaps you could start a third blog, where the third one is "All Omar Praise, All the Time."
And I was just kidding about the personal responses, I was just trying to gently tell you that you were letting real life get in the way of blogging again. Speaking of real life, I hope the foray into social life went well!
Oops, sorry, that was two straight comments without noting that I'm married. ;)
1. Min. I have too much faith in your memory plus you came with that
2. I'd like to say yes.
3. We have never met. I don't regret the day I came across your blog however if that counts
4. Umm no
5. Not very certain
6. Glo. Short and nice and tidy
7. Funny, strong, thoughtful, smart. I shall one day use each of the words in at least three sentences to turn this into a paragraph.
8. Of course
9. Yes
10. The word 'glow'
11. Books. Oh this beautiful candle I saw in this store yesterday
12. I wouldn't say really well, but a little more than you'd expect...I think.
13. I've never seen you
14. We haven't conversed really
15. I would most definitely like to know
I did it!!!! even though Iinitially thought reall ife might stand in the way :>
12.
Ok ignore the mistakes and the 12 at the end I don't know what that is :/
I always ignore mistakes. Best way to face the day, I say.
