Questions about the blogger

This entry was posted on November 20, 2007

Stolen from thedailymeme.com. 25 questions in which I respond honestly, albeit sarcastic, way.

1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?

Oh yes, totally. Everyone in my town with a population of 10,000 reads my blog. Actually, only about five offline people know about my blog. I don’t know if they read every entry though.

2. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered?

Absolutely not. The only altering that happens is that they are reduced in size.

3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?

Creeps and dorks have never emailed me. If you are a dork, though, please feel free to contact me.

4. Do you lie in your blog?

Of course not! Everything I’ve said in my blog is true. If you don’t believe me, please contact me privately and we’ll discuss it.

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?

I like to think that I’m a fairly relaxed blogger. Sure, I have rants every now and then, but for the most part I stay calm. If I wasn’t calm, I might have to change my name to angrybanana or something, and that’s just not acceptable!

6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?

Haha, no. I don’t believe that people would tell me to carry on. If I jacked it all in, people would be sad (well, I like to think that they would be), but they’d move on to the next one. That’s just the way blogging is.

7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?

I’m not in therapy, and I never have been. Aside from a period of anti-depressants last year, I’m a pretty chirpy person.

8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?

I don’t need to delete mean comments, because I haven’t received any. I love my commenters because of that. You all are so nice and you make me happy! I don’t need to fake nice comments.

9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?

Rubbed one out? What does this mean? Is this some kind of crazy slang I don’t know? Should I be offended?

10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?

I think they’d like me the same. In person I’m a very laidback individual. I’m very non-confrontational and friendly, but I do have a sarcastic flippant streak.

11. Do you have a job?

Yes, I have a job. I work office hours during weekdays, and that’s all I’m saying. My blog is not a place to discuss my work.

12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?

Define “decent”. How much are we talking here? I’d do it for… thirty thousand pounds. Or more, if you feel so that way inclined.

13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?

Ooh, so many! I’d love to meet Aisling, but she lives all the way in Canada. I’d also love to meet Catherine and Louise, but they’re in New Zealand and Australia respectively. As for British bloggers, there’s too many to list.

14. Which bloggers have you made out with?

I haven’t made out with any bloggers… yet.

15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?

I’m not really sure. What does everyone else think? I think I act like a young 20-year-old person who’s just starting out in the working world… I’m not paid millions of pounds, but equally I’m not peniless.

16. Does your family read your blog?

I don’t know if they read every entry, but they do know about it, yes. I guess that’s what you get when you’re #1 on Google for your name.

17. How old is your blog?

I started blogging in December 2006 and got my domain in May 2007.

18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care?

Ha, I wish! According to Google Analytics, I’ve had exactly 8,028 page views in the last month. Divide that by thirty and you get about 267  pageviews a day. Not quite 1000. Do I care? Not really, it helps save my bandwidth!
19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar?

Of course. Just like everyone else on the internet, I’m an emo person who’s had more sexual partners than she has had hot meals. (That’s sarcasm by the way, in case anyone from “real life” is reading this) I’m actually not depressed, or slutty, or a liar.

20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?

No way! Every single word here (apart from quotations) came right out of my mouth. I think that’s pretty scary…

21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?

I don’t make any money from my blog. But if I did, I probably wouldn’t declare it. Does that make me a bad person?

22. Is blogging narcissistic?

Not overly. I tend to discuss my thoughts more, rather than “This is me and I am awesome!”

23. Do you feel guilty when you don’t post for a long time?

Yes. Very much so. If it gets to a week, I start tearing my hair out.

24. Do you like John Mayer?

I don’t know who he is!

25. Do you have enemies?

Nope. None. Unless I don’t know they’re my enemy. Are you my enemy?
