Am I the only person I know on LiveJournal who doesn't want one of their friends to send them a bunch of interview questions?

Comments

[erik]

Nope.
Although if someone who I think would ask REALLY interesting questions offers, I might.

[laurelo.livejournal.com]

No, you are not.

[dakiwiboid.livejournal.com]

I'd much rather get something tailored especially to me. If there's something people want to know, they can ask me! For instance..."How long have you been an apteryx, and how can you type so fast with that beak?"

[tammylc.livejournal.com]

Just to clarify - the thing that makes this particular LJ meme more interesting than most is that the questions _are_ tailored especially to you. Unless the person who you've asked to interview you is lazy and doesn't bother to do so.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

Coming up with the proper quiestions is surprisingly difficult.

That's why I've been asking them only in groups of 2 LJers at a clip

interview questions

[pir-anha.livejournal.com]

heck, no. but then i don't get what people think is so nifty about most so-called LJ "memes".

though i can conceivably see questions being very interesting to think about, i don't know that the term "interview question" brings up that sort of question for me.

[teddywolf.livejournal.com]

Nope. Seeing as how my comment is the fifth, I get to say this:
"You are Number 6."

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Nope. I've done two sets, but that's in part because I thought the people involved would ask interesting questions; I'm stopping, because I don't think my questions are as interesting or prose-productive.

[lcohen]

is that an interview question? <g>

i'm totally not in this space, so no, you are not the only one.

[rysmiel.livejournal.com]

It depends; I'm actually mildly intrigued to see what questions I might get from people who know me a certain range of well, far more so than either people who know me better or people who do not know me well.

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I'm sure there are a lot of us. (We're the ones who aren't answering lists of interview questions.)

[purpletigron.livejournal.com]

Right now, no thanks - but you could ask me again next year :-)

[porcinea.livejournal.com]

Questions!!! I hate questionsssssssss.

[ailsaek.livejournal.com]

Not me either. I haven't even been reading the interviews produced. No idea why, but this one just doesn't do it for me.

[elynne.livejournal.com]

Evidently not. ;) I'm not sure if I'm into it or not, but I just subjected myself to the meme, and will be posting replies soon. I find it interesting to think up answers. Um... and stuff.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Oh god no. The very word "interview" makes me want to run shrieking into the night.

[supergee.livejournal.com]

Me neither, though I may wind up doing a magpie post replying to questions my friends have been asked.

[pameladean]

I don't get most LJ memes, frankly. I look at them and feel instantly a sense of profound tedium. This doesn't mean I don't want to read other people's responses, because I don't mind at all. But I don't want to do them.

The quizzes are pretty much uniformely lame. Very high school.

[dakiwiboid.livejournal.com]

Considering that the vast majority of things from Quizilla appear to have been written by high school students, I'm always amazed when someone posts a meme that's literate, intelligent, and shows some understanding of human nature (also orthography).

[bibliotrope.livejournal.com]

I promise not to send you any if you don't send me any!

[catamorphism.livejournal.com]

No... I figure if my friends want to know something about me, they can ask anytime :D

seriously

[cthulhia]

one would think I post frequently enough on my journal that such a thing is hardly necessary.

Re: seriously

[kiya]

. . . I think I'm in your camp. ;)

[mneme]

I don't normally do memes, and I haven't until now dones this one, but it -is- more interesting to me than the average, partially because I -don't- post very often (and because there are a lot of people I view on LJ who don't know me -that- well).

[typographer.livejournal.com]

Nope. You are not alone.

[yonmei.livejournal.com]

I'm having a lot of fun coming up with questions.

[pnh.livejournal.com]

(1) Do you really suppose you're the only one?

(2) When did you begin to be interested in this subject?

(3) Beige or plaid?

(4) When, and when not?

(5) Does all that is solid melt into air?

[dakiwiboid.livejournal.com]

5) No, but everything that rises must converge. (Flannery O'Connor)

[redbird]

1) Do you?

2) As long ago as forever, and as far away as Selidor.

3) No.

4) Always, and never.

5) That this too too solid flesh would melt!

[bibliotrope.livejournal.com]

(3) Floral

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

I haven't decided yet.

[numbat.livejournal.com]

I don't though I think this particular exercise has more going for it than most of the memes I've seen. I assume people indulge in these things because they want to post something and the latest meme is less effort than nutting out a couple of paragraphs.

[cattitude.livejournal.com]

Questions are a burden for others, answers a prison for oneself.

[holyoutlaw.livejournal.com]

Actually, your original question and the responses it's received indicate this meme has truly, truly arrived -- there's now a backlash. Hah!

I found it great fun to answer the questions, much harder to ask them. Originally, at least, they WERE supposed to be tailored to the person one was asking them of.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

At this point it seems redundant to reply, what with 34 responses. :)
