The Big 2... oh

In honor of my blog's 2nd anniversary, a meme about blogging.
From DM's blog.

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

Hahaa. I’ll go to the grocery store looking however I want. Besides, I doubt my fellow shoppers or the person stocking the shelves is going to be like, “Hey, I love your blog!” If they did recognize me, it’d be more like, “Hey, you write that blog. Get a job, ya hippy!” Or maybe “You’re a lot shorter than I thought.”

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

No. It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to me, I guess. Most of the people who read my blog see me in real life, anyway, so they would just laugh if I majorly altered my photos.

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

Um. No? Creeps, no, certainly. Dorks, well, I am kind of a dork, so I guess it just depends on what they want. But neither creeps nor dorks have e-mailed me.

4. Do you lie in your blog?

No, not really, despite the “mostly true” thing. Hey, there's the lie - they're not mostly true stories, they're completely true stories!

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?

I don’t…think…so. What does that even mean? I don’t even know how one would be passive-aggressive in their blog, so I don’t think I am.

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

No. Sometimes I think about stopping but then I think I’d miss it too much.

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

No. No. And no. Clearly I'm in denial, and should be in therapy for that.

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

Not that many people leave comments on my blog. And I don’t think I’ve ever had a mean comment. Unless someone pretending to be God counts, which wasn’t mean, it was just confusing. Sneaky Voice of God.

9. What should a "good blog" have?

A voice. A little humor.

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

The people who read my blog know me, for the most part, I think. I hope they like me more in real life than on the internets. Is there anyone out there reading who doesn’t know me? Please show yourselves!

11. Do you have a job?

Gah.

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

Yes!

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

Erm, I don’t know. I guess I’m not that into the blogosphere. If I had to pick, I’d say finslippy or dooce.

14. Which bloggers have you made out with? (a)In real life? (b)In fantasy?

Ha, what? I don’t make out with anyone in real life, what are you talking about? But I totally fantasize about making out with Anne. And Amanda. And Aurora. Every blogger in my links, basically. That’s right, now it’s out there on the table and you all know my dirty little secret.

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

Yeah, I'm pretty out there in the open about my sad lack of money.

16. Does your family read your blog?

My sister-in-law does sometimes, I think. Hi Jennie!

17. How old is your blog?

Two years old today!

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

I get excited if I get more than 20. And no, I don’t care.

19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar?

No, but maybe I should, for all the slutty things I do that I don’t want to talk about here.

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

No, and I should since I do enjoy reading certain ones regularly.

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

No. And not just because I don’t make any from my blog. Because… oh, I don’t know. Never mind.

22. Is blogging narcissistic?

Yeah, probably, but who cares? It’s fun, it’s not hurting anyone (usually), and it’s a good way for people to keep in touch in a creative medium.

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

Sometimes, even though that’s kind of unproductive.

24. Do you like John Mayer?

Yes. Why is this question in here?

25. Do you have enemies?

Probably, but none that have come forward recently. Hope no one out there is stewing over something I've done and not challenging me to fisticuffs.

26. Are you lonely?

No. Sometimes a little lonely, romantically. But no.

27. Why bother?

Because it’s so easy to bother!
