The Questions  
Remember the entry from last Friday inviting you to ask me some random questions? Well, I do. And you thought I forgot, didn't you? I forget nothing!

Actually, that's not true. I forget, like, everything. But uh, let's just move on.

[info]rasa — I like them, too. And I'm guessing you fill out a lot of meme forms.

[info]darkpriestss — Standard question receives standard response: A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

[info]kaprou — Oh, Victorian London. No question. I mean, anybody could put some xenomorphs on a spaceship. It doesn't matter if the spaceship happens to look like some kind of new-age hotel like the Enterprise-D or something, it's still basically a spaceship, and my interest in seeing guys fire on the aliens with some TV remotes is far less than my interest in seeing aliens running through fog by gaslight.

[info]mangabish — I don't think so. So that might be grounds for a false advertising claim if you drink some Red Bull and then jump off a building and fail to fly or something... but I wouldn't recommend it. However, if you drink too much of that crazy shit, you'll probably believe you've sprouted wings... and some horns, and maybe some of those antennae things there...

[info]professor — Uh, African or European?

[info]trancelife — I wish! But no, sadly, I just play lots of video games in my downtime. My actual job is working for the University of Missouri in a Public Relations writing and layout design position, with some graphics work along with it. I write and design the things that go out to University alumni begging them for money, basically. As I always say, it's the kind of stuff that most people toss in the trash without thinking about it.

[info]dudepower1982 — I'm probably not the best person to ask, since there are many others with far more success in readership than me and especially since this varies from one person to the next. The obvious answer is to write whatever you like and just look for people who write similar things or in similar styles to you instead of conforming to some other person's ideas of what to do. You can cruise the "Random" button or the communities in search of such people and start making friends that way. But if you really want me to toss something of my own opinion out there, I suppose I'd suggest occasionally writing something that's more frivolous and/or brief, because I feel doing nothing but lengthy text entries can be intimidating to some readers. But not all. So again, not much reason to listen to me.

[info]juniper200 — Well, I think Clare already proposed... but then again I think she's proposed to like four or five other guys since then, so I'm pretty sure I'm available again. Oh wait, now I know. I think [info]joeyhemlock has earned first dibs by now.

I see, I see. Well, I would very much like to try that. Thank you almighty wise man. For you have helped me in my time of need and my quest for knowledge. *bows*

What is this? We're not getting married anymore? Ah, well. I guess that frees me up to marry Scott and/or George Clooney. But there goes your share of the Royer free dinner and all those X-Files and Felicity DVDs we were going to register for in lieu of china!

While we're on the subject of questions, here's one: Why weren't non-Live Journal users (aka "Anonymii") allowed to participate in this fun little Q&A session? Could it possibly be because, I don't know, Live Journal sucks?

This is probably for the best. Our bitter Blogger/Live Journal feud would have torn the marriage apart anyway.

Wait, no free dinner? Gasp! Perhaps we should try to work out our polygamous differences yet.

I didn't realize that you can't ask a question in the text box unless you're logged into LJ. That does kinda suck. I guess you could always post questions in the comments. Of course, I could mention that Blogspot doesn't let you post text boxes at all...
(Anonymous) on January 28th, 2004 09:16 am (UTC)
You know, I can't even counter that argument because Live Journal apparently thinks I'm too inferior to even know what a text box is. (I'm assuming it doesn't mean the same thing here as it does in MS Word...cause if so, I wouldn't mind being excluded from that.)

I think the solution here is for us to get married, get our free dinner, then divorce each other and marry Katrina and Scott. Everyone wins! (Except George Clooney...dammit.) We'd just have to agree not to let our personal entanglements get in the way of the creation of our reality-TV production empire.
