Found this little interesting thinger-bob over at my favorite rowhouse and thought I'd take a shot at it.
1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog? Yeah, riiight.
2. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered? Nope; hasn't really been that important to me.
3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you? Not particularly. I can be a pretty big creep myself and could most likely tell them to fuck off rather nicely. Those that do not fall into that category are welcome to email me.
4. Do you lie in your blog? About what?! I have an awful memory - not the type at all that supports lies.
5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog? Perhaps. Sometimes I am just plain aggressive. Occasionally I'll be a bit passive but with all of these things, it just happens, it's nothing I strive for.
6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop? No, if I say I might stop writing, it's what I'm feeling. If people would tell me to 'continue', I'd sob and feel guilty for leading people on my goofy ride and delete the blog faster. So by 'threatening' that, it would have the opposite effect. I'm just weird sometimes.
7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping? Not there now, have been for years in the past. Good stuff. I do have a full on disco psychiatrist, though. Does blogging count as therapy?
8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones? I've only ever deleted spam. I'm not beneath arguing with an ass in the comment section, though. Never faked a nice one. That would mean I'd have to take actual effort.
9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after? Ew. And I have no penis. There are a few posts I read that may have fogged up my monitor a little...
10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less? I don't know, it all depends on who it is and who I am that day. Doubt there would be much middle ground, though.
11. Do you have a job? Yeah, barely. My real calling is annoying others.
12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it? Get paid? Sure, why not. As long as I didn't have to write a 'Dubya Rocks' post or something equally offensive. Suppose I'd really have to learn how to type properly then.
13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life? It's not limited to one. Each one has a different attraction, something that pulls me to them. But sometimes it's better like this. We all have the ideal image of one another and I'm not sure I'd want to test my accuracy in matching them in person to the kind of person I've made them out to be in my mind. That being said, there are a few. I'm certain you know who you are.
14. Which bloggers have you made out with? My monitor.... what a dumb ass question!
15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have? Doesn't matter, I spend accordingly. I don't 'act' like anything, especially with finances.
16. Does your family read your blog? Does my family read, period?
17. How old is your blog? Eight months old... still a baby. I started at the end of January 2005 and have since noticed that must have been a popular time for new blogs.
18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care? Do you see CNN on the header?! No, I do not get that many views. I didn't even put up a counter for the first six to eight weeks. If I didn't have anyone visit, I'll be honest, I'd cry like a sissy. But people do visit, and make comments and there are some that I talk to even outside of blogland. I never dreamed I'd have my counter where it is even today.
19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar? Nope, it's all here. I told you, my memory is shitty - I'd get the blogs confused and incriminate myself anyway, so what's the point?
20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing? What in the hell would I want to do that for?!
21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes? I earn nothing from this other than interest (not the monetary kind), enjoyment, fun and occasional enlightenment.
22. Is blogging narcissistic? Yes, for some. It depends on why you blog. I blog because no one else in my world will listen to me. They are sick of my weirdness and mood swings. I figured I could still say what I have to say in blogland and not have to worry one damned bit if it bothered anyone. It's different for everyone.
23. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time? Not so much guilty but I feel edgy because I begin to worry if I've slid so far down that I don't have anything left to say.
24. Do you like John Mayer? Yeah, I do. Don't listen to him often but I like his acoustic and jazz influences. Kind of funny because I'm not much of a jazz fan. Typically I like moodier, edgier stuff.
25. Do you have enemies? Dumb. Question. "Hi, my name is ____ and I'm your new enemy!" I'm guessing if I do they are letting it be a surprise til the moment of attack. I had one a few years back but I think it all died down. Either that or she is still plotting my death.
26. Are you lonely? Sometimes. But I do like to be alone. I think that lately I'm admitting to myself that I am a little lonely but I've spent so many years of my life embracing the 'alone' thing that I don't know how to change it.
27. Why bother? Because I can.
TAGGING: I won't single you out, but if you like it, do it! It would be fun to see your blogging views.

i have a new insight on you now. i like it.
I think I ought to fill 'steal' this and fill it in too. But, I've not really blogged that long so some of my answers may change in the next few weeks/months.
What do you mean by 'tagging'? Is that linking yourself to someone else? Sounds kinky and rather incestuous.
Deryke - Every now and then a little insight helps put things into context.
Nomad - Of course your answers will change, they could change from week to week; I think you should do it. Oh, and that's what 'tagging' is.... like the game 'tag, you're it'. I don't like to specifically designate people because I don't do these often and dislike getting tagged myself. I leave it open and let others know that if it interests them, they can feel free to borrow the bones (so to speak) and fill it in. Damn I wish it was kinkier...
Actually, now that I think of it, not only will the answers change over type but perhaps they SHOULD change. No change means boring old fart, right?
So, are you saying I can't tag you unless I want to offend you? Seems like a good reason to tag you. :-)
Ok, I will ge to doing the questions, maybe later today. I actually have quite a bit to do today - whoopieeeee!
this is so insightful and cool and is a veritable hope diamond of different facets of you. my favorite thing of course was, "I do have a full on disco psychiatrist, though." hahahahaha! what i wouldn't do for one of those ...
::shakes hips to "Don't Leave Me This Way"::
rock on that you did this, of all the memes i've done this was my favorite. hope you liked it too.
I'm going to do this one!
Disco psychiatrist, eh? It's so like you to have your priorities well and truly in order ;-)
And yes, I'm pretty sure blogging counts as therapy... depending on what you're blogging about obviously... I mean, a blog dedicated to your pet rabbit maybe not so much - although it may indicate a need for therapy... OK I'll stop now.
Nomad - I'm unpredictable anyway. You could offend me one day by not using a word with the letter "w" in it. I like to keep people on their toes! =) Great job on the questions by the way!
Rose - Lol.. think we could go in for group psychiatric care one day?! :::chimes in - Baby, my heart is filled with love and desire for you::: I liked this one alot, too. It seemed as if the questions targeted how we 'know' bloggers already and it was on easily identifiable terms, too.
Chicken Little - I checked it out.... still love answer #25! =)
Terri - It was just dumb luck that drew my psychiatrist and I together... =) Hey, you mean you don't want me to do a post about my pet bunny or pet rock? Or the way I organize my Tupperware containers? Or how I try to hold my breath through traffic lights unless I see a red car, then I can stop? **not all of those are true... up to you to figure out which one(s)** =)
That was very interesting! I had to laugh out loud about family reading the blog. I would have had the same answer. :)
whats that abt therapy and stuff!! are bloggers thought as psychos just for not hesitating to speak their minds?? :-/
I feel that I should do one of these, but I'm a bit lazy. Do you mind if I copy your answers?
Personally thought it was a rather stupid questionnaire!
I may borrow this...answers and all because I like your answers A LOT better than I'd like my own...;)
Goddess - See, I guess some families are the same no matter who you are or where you live! =)
Dr O2 - Interestingly, speaking one's mind would indicate a need for therapy in some people's eyes. In this case, I just think they were nosey!
Kyknoord - Lol... technically if you just 'copy' there will be a fee. That would change one of your answers about trading money for blogging.
Bean - Really? I found this much better than the ones that ask your favorite ice cream flavor, favorite underwear, etc. Then again, I rarely do these.
Stacy - Look up at the comment I left for Kyknoord... remember the fee. =) And I think you'd both have fantastic answers... which I plan on seeing.... HINT, HINT! =)
If you need a new enemy, I'll totally volunteer. I don't really hate you or anything, but I think it's fun to have a rivalry. We can be arch enemies like on soap operas, who still talk and stuff, but we should always be overly dramatic when we leave comments, and then one day in the not so distant future, we'll discover that all the while we've pretended to hate each other, really we're in love!!
Sappho - I completely agree with you on #4! And isn't that the truth!? Sometimes I don't think I could make things up that would be nearly as weird as the things that just occur on a day to day basis! Ok, well maybe I could, but you know what I mean. Thanks for doing this! =)
Jay - Having a quasi-nemesis would be AWESOME! Of course with my lack of fully functional thought process, you may have to remind me from time to time. Hopefully I'll remember that we're really in love at the end of it all...lol.
There seems to be a lot of these going around. Check the one out on my blog. And I think blogging is much more fun than sitting in an uncomfortable chair in a shrinks office!!!
Buddess - Good point on the chairs! lol... off to your blog to check it out! =)
