20 (000) questions

[cleolinda]

So there's this thing called Formspring (formspring.me, not .com) where you can sign up to let people ask you questions, or ask them yourself; you can leave your username, but you can also ask anonymously. Enough people were doing it on Twitter that I finally broke down and thought, Okay, sure. I'll probably get some trolls or inappropriate questions, but you don't have to answer anything you don't want, so why not. It'll probably take me a while to answer them, though--if I mention it on Twitter, I might get, like, fifteen questions the first day or something...

So, one day later, I have answered 72 questions and still have 33 in my inbox. That... that happened. And some of the unanswered ones are really good ones; I'm just having to parcel the answers out between other things I'm doing, and sometimes needing extra time to think of good replies. I mean, "Best song ever" is gonna take me a while. (Also, three people have already asked about my favorite books; I just haven't answered that yet.) So far I've been asked about dolls, The Secret Life thereof, pasta, poetry, podcasts, my creative process, BPAL, Aromaleigh, my preference re: Spike and Angel, pop-culture vampire throwdowns, snacks, unobtainium, how I actually feel about Twilight, and head-squishing. The newest answers are on top, but they're not really dependent on chronological order, I don't think.

By the way: I reserve, and have already exercised, the right not to answer questions I find to be rude or invasive. No one will see your question unless I answer it, so don't bother trolling if all you want is attention.

I'm intensely curious about the weird questions you've turned down. People are so WEIRD about people with internet fame. It's like they can't distinguish between distant celebrity and ONE OF THEIR OWN that happened to strike it big.

They haven't really gotten weird yet--right now they're just "none of your business" questions, like do I have a day job and if so where, why do I live with my family and not on my own, etc. The kind of thing where, if I haven't told you before, there was probably a reason.

The "Did you seriously just compare yourself to Jon Stewart?" question was assy, but I didn't turn it down.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that one. They were seriously looking for something to bitch about.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Huh. "Has anyone proposed marriage to you?"

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Oooh. That's a new one. Now you just have to wait for someone to actually propose.

I wonder if this is the setup for "Would you like me to?"

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

I think you'd really want an IP trace on that one.
