What are you ashamed of?
Letting this job get to me and crying after a call. It wasn't even that bad of a call! I am ridiculous. I suppose that if you're looking for a more general response, I'm ashamed of my ridiculousness.
What aspect of your personality could use a little work?
My shyness. My anxiety. My temper. My perfectionism and subsequent crippling procrastination (if I can't do it right, why do it at all?) My constant low-simmering bad mood. My tendency to do horrifically embarrassing things. My laziness. My thoughtlessness toward my loved ones. The deadly combination of my nonexistent self-esteem and enormous ego. Really, the question ought to be "what doesn't need work?"
What's the meanest thing you've ever said to someone?
Probably any number of snotty comments implying that various persons' taste in books or music or movies meant that they themselves were stupid and inferior. I regret most of them. Though, in all honesty, I don't know what the truly meanest thing I've said to anyone has been, because I constantly think such mean things about people that I find it hard to remember what I said out loud and what was merely an uncharitable thought. Ah, the life of the mind!
List three things you'd buy with your last $20. One practical, one frivolous and one of your choosing.
$8 worth of gas, a Black Bush on the rocks, and another Black Bush on the rocks.
How did you celebrate Valentine's Day?
Submitted by Stephen.
Thai food, beer, too much candy, smushy hand-holding, and gadgetry. I would have preferred the candy have been from the awesome local chocolatier, but Cadbury Caramel Eggs are pretty tasty, too.
Who or what do you really love?
According to some lady who wrote a book, four percent of all people everywhere are sociopaths who completely lack the capacity to love. I wonder if you can be a sociopath and not know it. You may think you love someone, but you really don't! You totally lack the capacity for real emotions! You're living a lie!
Tell us the story behind one of the text messages or voicemails you have saved in your phone.
I am afraid of voicemail and I don't know why. Any voicemails you leave will probably go unchecked, only deleted after it has sat in the inbox for days, guilty and shameful.
