PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.22

1. Who or where do you go to when you need help for web-related problems?

I ask my friend Sara or I consult a throng of web-related sites like www.htmlgoodies.com.

2. There is a big mess of gossip going on in Blogland due to revelations
about a very popular Blogger. I got very caught up in reading all the links
to links about it until I stopped myself realizing it was none of my buisiness.
Do you ever get caught up in gossip, either speading it or listening to it?
How does it make you feel? Or have you ever been the subject of gossip?

Yes, I think I always get caught up in listening to gossip from every angle
and every person. Someting about me makes people comfortable about telling me
anything. I RARELY ever participate in the gossip unless I am taking to the
horse's mouth. I am neutral as to how I feel about it unless the gossip is not
true and I knwo it for a fact. I will usually try to correct the misuderstanding.
And yes, I have been te subject of gossip. Who hasn;t at least once in their
life?

3. In a relationship, when your other takes a dig at you (read: a fight),
do you go for the jugular and get "in their face" or try to peacefully
smooth things out and have a calm discussion?

It depends on how reasonable they are being. I like going for the least combatitive
route because it causes less pain and solves more problems. I think two people
yelling is counterproductive and leads to VERY little understanding or explanation.
Now, if they are being total asses about it, and if I am feeling bitchy, then
sometimes, but not very often, I will pull out my barrage and go to town.

4. A friend once told me "You can tell when someone is bored with what
you are saying to them when they reply with 'That's interesting.'" And
I have found this to be pretty dang true. How do you know when someone has lost
interest in what you are saying?

When I get one word answers like "uh huh," "yeah," "really?"
Usually, I try to keep them entertainied and laughing, but I can usually tell
when they are doing something else. You know, like typing away at the computer,
watching TV....I CAN hear such sounds.

5. Ever get jealous of the popularity other Blogs?

Not of the blogs but of their commenting popularity. I have assloads of people
coming to my site, but no one comments. Pour quoi?

6. What is your favorite dirty word? (those who don't curse can pick your
favorite happy word)

Well fuck me.

7. (the continuing story...) OK, we are definitely doing that again. But
seeing as it is nearly 6am now, how about breakfast? Anywhere you'd like to
go or should we fix our own? What do you like? Or is there something else we
need to do first?

Let's go to IHOP and laugh.

BONUS: What have I done to deserve this?

I keep asking myself that every day of my life.
