Interview questions received from Anarqueso
She asked me:
1. How has being a parent differed from what you expected?
2. How do you think growing up in Hastings affected your personality?
3. What do you think the most fundamental quality of friendship is or should be?
4. I don’t really know anything about Emily. Tell me about her.
5. What kind of community work are you doing now?
My answers are below in the extended entry.
I find myself checking my ‘friends’ category several times a day now during lapses at work. Having a new entry appear there is kind of like getting a personal e-mail message from a friend, even though often they have nothing to do with me or anything I care about or can relate to. I guess in the sea of spam that my e-mail has become this is a welcome glimpse into someone elses life and thoughts. A PERSONAL message in a haystack of junk. But why am I craving these entries? Strange Days Indeed…
What’s worse, and what I think is a failure on LJ’s part, I find myself skimming friends old entries looking at their comments so I can see what other people are saying, and read my friends responses. There should be some way to ‘subscribe’ to anything any person writes, even if it’s a comment in someone elses journal (provided that that is public). Anyways…
So now I find myself nudging other friends to get journals too. Like I need more stuff to read. What’s going on inside my head? I think it’s just hoping that I will be ablet to keep in better touch with friends who write in an online journal, but I’m not sure if that’s all it is.
Maybe it’s like being a parent, I find myself nudging childless friends towards getting kids. “Come on.. join the club.. waters fine’ (aka “You Don’t need sleep either!”) 🙂
Just my random babblings for the day.
