Jeez, what's wrong with me? Heh. Well, I figured, keep busy, so I let CelticBuffy do an interview meme with me.
The rules are as follows:
Link back to the person you received the interview from.
If you want to participate, leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.” (And your e-mail address, please.)
I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. However, I'm only going to do one...so first come, first serve. Sorry.
And with that, here...we...go!
1) What led you into blogging and were you influenced by any one blogger in particular?
Well, I wasn't influenced by any one blogger at all, so that's a wash question. As for why, one day I decided I wanted to own my name on the internet. Call it what you want, I simply didn't want anyone else to own my name. Once I bought the domain name, I started thinking I could do something with it. That's what led me in to blogging.
2) Has blogging led to any real life friendships with other bloggers, and if so, who? Also, do you count your online circle of "blog friends" as friends?
Not a one, not in real life. I do talk to quite a bit of people out in the 'net world through 'net means that I met through doing this blog.
3) How has becoming a father influenced you in regards to your thoughts and actions?
Well...read my post called My Hiatus...that sort of chronicles it. It basically has made me worry more and more about more and more stuff than I ever have before.
4) If life handed you the opportunity to take any career you wanted right now, what would it be and why?
Just one? Crap. I have so many dream type stuff. Film critic, novelist, theatre stuff, etc. But right now? Something that would let me do very little and be earning in the top 5%. Heh.
5) Off the top of your head, no time to think it over, where you most like to visit in this world?
Venice.
So there we go. Any takers? Like I said, first come, first serve. I honestly won't have the time to do my own material and my job if I have to do more than one.
Never met any bloggers in person? Wow. Don't worry, you don't have to come up with questions for me; I've already done this!
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me! Since we don't know each other really and since I'm hard up for blog content lately, it sounds fun! jodi101 [at] g[ee]mail [dot] com.
ReplyDeleteIt shall be you then. Give me a couple days and expect some questions in your email box.
ReplyDeleteYou're already doing memes? Oy.
ReplyDeleteI was interviewed by Mega before his blog went dark, so I don't feel like I got shortchanged by not getting intereviwed. I do have a question though: do you not meet fellow bloggers by choice or has it just not worked out that way? I can name about half a dozen people I've met in real life that became actual friends as a result of blogging. At least that many more that I know I will actually meet at some point in time. And still more that I keep in touch with regularly by phone/email/snail mail/what have you.
ReplyDeleteShut up, J.D. :)
ReplyDeleteDawn- It's just worked out that way. I mean, I know some fellow bloggers already, but I've never met someone I met FROM blogging after I met them from blogging, make sense? Which is kinda weird because I'm so fully un-anonymous. Maybe its my location.
Bummer. This would've been a fun excuse to talk about myself. Maybe I'll talk about myself anyway by answering the same questions you did. They're good enough questions for me.
