Monday Mission 3.13

1. How old will you be on your next birthday?

I will hit the big 30.

2. What is your favorite gadget?

My favorite gadgets would be my laptop and my new TiVo.

3. Tell me about someone that you lost touch with several years ago. Would you like to get back in touch with them again? What caused the separation? Has enough time passed? Would you still get along?

I really haven't lost touch with anyone like that. Thankfully.

4. Is there a difference between your online personality and your real-life version? Or are you pretty much the same person either way?

My blog personality is more outwardly angry and bitter. However, my former online chat personality was quite different than my shy self. It was always fun to adopt another persona, complete with photo, to annoy and lead-on the slimy old guys trolling for cock in the chatrooms.

5. Can you think of any ways that the Internet hinders person-to-person communication? What could we do to change things?

I think there is a lack of feeling that is conveyed with the typewritten word, as opposed to communication in the real world. Especially in emails and message boards. There's a certain amount of anonymity that we hide behind in those places which also makes it easier to lash out against each other without a second thought.

6. When was the last time you felt truly happy, or had that sense of perfect inner-peace? What does it take to get that feeling back when you need it?

Last time I felt that way was Thursday, in Athens, in the spring sunshine, sitting under the trees, gazing at the sky, listening to the water flow into the pond, surrounded by blooming daffodils and magnolias. It's not often I feel that way, and there's almost no rhyme or reason to when I do. Sometimes, all it takes is a quiet morning in bed with him and the Meow.

7. If you could just verbally let loose on someone and be able to say anything you want, without repercussions, who would you say it to and what would you say?

Bahahaha. Not my friends or family, for sure. And i certainly won'y get into what I would say here.
