I give up. Enough people I know have posted this on their blogs… so now I’m giving in to peer pressure.
I have bloke-ified it up a bit (and had some fun doing so), and altered some of the questions to reflect that a lot of people who don’t know me in person read this site. So where there are choices eg 3a/3b, answer as appropriate (or both if you like).
1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3a. When and how did we meet?
3b. How did you find me on the web?
4a. Do you have a crush on me?
4b. Ummm, err, ma-a-a-ate… Oh go on then, do you have a crush on me?
5a. Would you kiss me?
5b. Would you give me a bloody big bear hug?
6. Describe me in one word.
7. What was your first impression?
8. Do you still think that way about me now?
9. What reminds you of me?
10. If you could give me anything what would it be?
11. How well do you know me?
12. (If you know me in person) When’s the last time you saw me?
13. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn’t?
14. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?
If you feel like answering, put it in the comments.
