Questions on Blogging »
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 do not 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 am 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 one of the things I thoroughly enjoy as a hobby, so I would snap up that offer pretty fast.
13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life? Personally I find all bloggers dull, irritating people — I jest! Rachael is 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 old about page was that I am penniless.
16. Does your family read your blog? I have asked them to a couple of times, but I think they are intimidated by it. I do not know if it is in a ‘where did we go wrong’ sort of way or in a ‘reading is for chumps’ 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 accommodating for them.
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? Who? Is he like Jack Johnson or am I confused?
25. Do you have enemies? 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 is because I crave attention from strangers. Hi there! Have any candy?
27. Why bother? I do not know, in the end I will probably be disappointed.
Oh blogginess. It’s such an.. odd form of self-masturbatory communication! But, I’ve been blogging since I was 11 (good ol’ 1999… I remember blogging about the intense amounts of canned food my parents bought to keep us fed well through the apocalypse. Some of this food resides in my pantry to this day, although we have switched houses since then…), so it’s kind of… a reflex, if you will. I feel utterly lost without some sort of blog readily available. Even if I choose not to blog for a bit, I always must be sure to have one ready and waiting. Just in case. So I’m never caught without one.
Strangely enough, and quite sadly, I do not have my archives from these early years. It’s a pity, because there’s nothing I crave more than self preservation, and I’m disappointed to find that my 11 year old self was lacking in this interest, and therefore chose not to make back-ups! Oh, if only I had a time machine… or if the Wayback Machine had actually bothered to save my blogs! I’m quite disappointed with them as well!
You’re pretty cool yourself. :)
lol, a secret blog about being slutty. that’s really never occurred to me before, but aren’t you curious now which one of your visitors does have one? (no, that’s not a hint – i really don’t!)
and …”ever rubbed one out” is a funny phrase.
i thoroughly enjoyed reading this and learning about the blogger. if i ever encountered a site who answered yes to the majority of these questions, i’d leave in a heartbeat. you know which was the master question to see if you are truly the bloggiest blogger?
definitely the john mayer one.
LOL! You’re hilarious. Love the witty replies. Loved #16.
Your responses totally cracked me up, what an awesome meme!
I totally rubbed one out while reading this. I’d elaborate for you, but I’m a little unsure as to what the phrase itself means.
@Aisling: I have some archives saved from years ago when I was a blogging loser. I might post them at some point.
@Rachael: :D Yay!
@Connie: WHO IS JOHN MAYOR?!?! Did he do that song ‘Bigger than my body’?
@Ivy & Crystal: Thank you!
@Ramsha: That just makes it funnier! Urban Dictionary it – it’s rude but not too bad :D
Ugh i HATE IT when someone from my family finds my site. They are very ignorant and like to blow shit all out of proportion.
Why didn’t I think of that?! Either way, I think this post has been here far too long! Where’s your paranoia?
This is an interesting survey. I’m gonna steal it from you!
I didn’t get #9 either so I’m just put going to put “No.” Ahahaha.
