Three Cubed Answers

I saw this meme on Heather's blog and I thought I should try it. The results have been interesting ... even to me and I thought I knew who I was. Go figure.

1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog? Oh yeah, like that is gonna happen. The question is silly, surely. Anyway you can be sure that if I could still look "hot" I would go out at least once with the intention being attraction solely so I could fight off the attention with a big stick ....
2. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered? Bearing in mind my answer, above, and the admitted fact of my own idleness I am torn between two camps. The first being that no improvement is too slight bother with, the other is "why bother". The plain answer is that photography requires actual effort without a digital camera and mine is broke.
3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you? I am so sad that I like any email. Hate mail is the sincerest form of flattery. But creeps and dorks ... those are ... ahem ... hapless suitors? I should be so lucky.
4. Do you lie in your blog? No. Though I might succomb to a little literary license occasionally to embroider around the edges.
5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog? I don't like psycho-babble so I'll ignore that one on the spurious grounds of incomprehension.
6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop? That would be silly.
7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping? No. Probably ought to be but have had "help" in the past and look where that got me?
8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones? Both would be silly. All comments are valuable. Faking praise is even less admirable than hiding £500 notes under the board when playing Monopoly.
9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after? Is that a question about masturbation? OK, I'm old enough to be honest. I might if I read that sort of blog. Mostly though that sort of blog just makes me jealous and that's kinda counter-productive I find. That's as much as I wanna say right now, 'k?
10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less? I am not very reliable in estimating others' opinions of me. Frankly I find it faintly ridiculous that anyone would like me in person ... I am as selfishly lazy as a very fat and lazy cat and as selfishly self-important as a poorly house-trained adolescent puppy.
11. Do you have a job? No. My self-indulgence takes up far too much of my time to leave room for anything so dull and mundane as a job.
12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it? That would be a job, wouldn't it? Sheesh! When even the memes are trying to outwit us maybe it's time to wave the chequered flag on the human race!
13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life? Most of them but I can spot a singular when I see one and I won't shy away from this one. But allow me to take a turn around the block. I'd love to meet up with Dave Rupert because I have been reading his blog for a dog's age and I've never commented because I fear to start after all this time. I would also like an opportunity to share a pot of coffee with Sharon whose writings over the last year have given me such insight into her mileu that I am happy to count her as a friend. But if I were to be pressed I would leap on a Eurostar and travel to Waffle Central for a chinwag with Chameleon.
14. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have? I am not conscious of acting but I suspect that I behave as though I have more money than I have.
15. Does your family read your blog? No.
16. How old is your blog? Rather older than the paucity of posts might suggest.
17. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care? No. No.
18. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar? I don't have a secret blog. I write about being a depressed, slovenly (aka slutty), liar right here in public. Now ain't that a shame?
19. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing? And I would want to do this, because ...?
20. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes? I do not earn money from my blog ... but if I did I would be sure not to report the fact to anyone.
21. Is blogging narcissistic? It ought not to be but for some I think think that it may be ... oh was I expected to answer for myself? No ... yes ... er can I think about it?
22. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time? Laughed my arse off at that one!
23. Do you like John Mayer? Hang on ... (google google) No. (Terrible control freakery of a website!)
24. Do you have enemies? That would imply that I have allies, wouldn't it.
25. Are you lonely? Everyone is lonely. I like my own company better than most folks. On the other hand, most days I miss having someone to talk to. Is that loneliness? It's not a big deal. I talk to my cat and I talk to myself and I shout rude comments at the TV and I laugh when I see or hear something funny. Is that lonely? I don't think so. My therapists and social workers think I should get out more and meet people but most people are arseholes.
26. Why bother? Exactly!
27. Who am I gonna tag? Nobody.
