Jun. 10th, 2007 02:01 pm1. Leave me a comment saying, "I am shameless attention whore."
2. I'll then respond by asking you up to five questions. You will answer them, because you like talking about yourself.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
His questions, my answers:
1. Why are you so fascinated by me?
Oh, you won't like this answer at all, and you'll probably deny it, anyway. :) I'm fascinated by you because you try so hard to give off the impression that you're a right bastard, caring and unfeeling and all that. And, while I won't deny that you're very good at playing the total asshole at times, and while I think you've done this so well you've convinced yourself that that's what you're all about, I disagree. In you, I've seen several great qualities, not the least of which have been loyalty, intelligence, and genuine caring for others. I've also seen rare flashes of vulnerability. In short, this front you put on doesn't fool me, and I love to be around when that mask slips off, and I get to see the real you. Sadly, it doesn't happen all that often, so one just has to be around you more often to catch more glimpses. :)
2. How have you changed in the last year?
I wish I could think of a way. Sadly, I'm not sure I have. Certainly, I've had some mental shifts, as far as realizing a lot of things about myself. However, since very few, or perhaps none, of these has resulted in a consistent change in my behavior, I hesitate to say I've changed at all. Which is very sad, since all the mental shifts have been positive ones, and I'd love to follow that up with real-world results.
3. What do you see yourself doing in 5 years?
In five years, I intend to no longer be in Atlanta (OK, first time announcement on LJ... I might make a post about that later), and I intend to be a full-time animal communicator. If I'm lucky, I intend to own a house, but since there are a lot of specifics on said house (again, subject to a later post), I'm happy to live in an apartment (that will take all my cats) until then.
4. What have I done that offended you most?
Hmmmm... I don't think you've ever offended me personally. And I know you're not racist, or any other kind of -ist that I can think of. However, you will sometimes make remarks that play on stereotypes, or make you sound (to those who just overheard you, and didn't know you well enough to know any better) like you *are* racist (or some other -ist), and that just makes me cringe.
5. Horde or Alliance?
Ummm... I'm guessing this is a WoW question. Since I don't play, I'll simply guess and say Horde, 'cause, even though I tend to be more on the Good Side in real life, the Bad Side is way more fun! (This is assuming, or course, that I can surmise that Horde="evil" and Alliance="good".)
