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.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what Tumblr is. Honestly, the Formspring questions haven't been that bad; I've gotten a few mildly None Of Your Business questions and that one really snitty one that I did answer. But I figure, "Hey, don't bother trolling, no one's going to see it anyway" might help for the future.

Yeah, trolls usually don't bother if they're not going to get any widespread attention. (Which is why ONTD is, like, a breeding ground). My BFF described Tumblr as an "online scrapbook" and a "visual journal," which sounds cool, but really, I have enough internet vices. ...So I'll probably be joining within the next week or so, I expect.

Yeah, it sounds really cool, and one of my Twitter people crossposts links to hers... there's just so many sites, you know? If I didn't already have a couple of places where I'm really entrenched, I might look into it, but...

I like Tumblr because it lets me toss up links and pictures and Youtube videos without feeling like I have to write an actual entry or content or anything.
