1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
Why would I want to look hot in the grocery-store?

2. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered?
No. Too much of an effort.

3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?
I got a few fanmails (by women) who thought that my writing made me interesting or made them realize something deep. I can’t say I liked getting these e-mails as I spent hours wondering about what to write back…. if you were life-changing to someone – sure you owe her at least a few words?
Anyway they were neither creeps nor dorks.

4. Do you lie in your blog?
If I did, why would I not lie in this meme as well?
I guess I don’t lie, but I don’t share anything of importance either. No deep feelings, no hard problems, no family-tragedy, no town-gossip, no work-stories..

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
I’m too old for passive-aggressiveness expressed in writing.

6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?

No. But I thought about quitting because blogging is time-consuming. Then I decided that spending maybe an hour per week with blogging (blogposting, checking comments, visiting other blogs) is quite ok.

7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?

No. I for myself think I can cope with myself, my surroundings, my past and all. And I don’t believe in therapy as a solution to problems in general. Most problems require action instead of talk (and talking to friends is an important alternative as well). By which I don’t mean that psychology is fake. If one of your basic feelings is help- and hopelessness a therapy might a good idea.

8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?
I don’t get mean comments, but sure I’d delete them.

10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?

More. I’m more interesting than my blogging-self.

11. Do you have a job?
Ph.d. And kids.

12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?
Not my idea of a good job. Screen-light, not inter-human communication. I’d rather be paid for writing newspaper-articles or books than for blogging but even that is not my idea of a great job (though of course I’d like to get a literary book published one time).
I’m very happy about the carreer possibilities law-school offers.

13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
… I only read blogs of people I know. I’d like to meet everyone of them )

15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?
Realistic.

16. Does your family read your blog?
A. does from time to time.

17. How old is your blog?
2? Maybe more.

18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care?
No. No.

19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar?
I started one with the intent to write sad poetry and sad fml-stories, but never really used it.

20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?
No. I once bought a paper-story by a young artist/beggar/hustler because I thought it a smart way to ask for a few bucks. Couldn’t read the illogical, grammar lacking dirty story and dumped it in the wastepaperbasket when he was out of sight.

21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?
If I earned any I would.

22. Is blogging narcissistic?

Not necessarily.

23. Do you feel guilty when you don’t post for a long time?
No. Obviously my life needed more ttention than my blog.

24. Do you like John Mayer?

Who?

25. Do you have enemies?
I guess I’m going to make one.

26. Are you lonely?

No.

27. Why bother blogging?

To keep track of what I’ve seen, read, done.
To share and express these things.
To share ideas and trivia.
And stuff about being a mother that I’d like to share. Bascially my awe about the kids (like new teeth, crawling-abilities or cuteness)
