Are there any types of questions that you wish you'd get asked on these things? ^__^
You know, I've been thinking about this question since Qem posted it, and I still don't have a clue. I'm basically an open book online anyway, so it's not like I've been consciously hiding anything that I'd like to get out in the open. I've gotten some really good questions from people on the meme already. I guess... if we're not being specific, I like questions that make me think, especially if it forces me to think about something in a new way. Maybe even something that makes me a bit uncomfortable. That being said, what I definitely don't want? I really hate getting the third degree about school, particularly questions about my degree path, because it tends to be really patronizing and people tend to use the opportunity to tell you that you're an idiot. Not that I think you guys would do that, it just makes that line of questioning something I dread. My defenses go up as soon as someone goes, "so what's your major?" (As a side note, I've heard that things are starting to open up for English majors- because employers are realizing that they have all these employees that can't even write a fucking professional email, so they're beginning to appreciate the communication aspect of an English major. Don't know how true that is, but there you go.)
(Oh yeah, if you have a question/topic/whatever for me, the original post is here!)
By the way, if I don't get to a real entry later, Merry Christmas to everyone that celebrates it! And Happy Holidays to everyone all around. ^_^
