03:28 pm - Musings on reflections
One day recently, I was chatting with  shizukagozen about perceptions and reflections, in particular about the self, and I decided that I needed a poll.
Part I
Why is there no "." in "Michael J Dangler"?
Because I'm an ass.
0(0.0%)
Because I'm a pretentious ass.
3(7.5%)
Because it gives me something to complain about.
1(2.5%)
Because if women can quiz men on the colour of their eyes, I can quiz friends on the lack of a dot.
13(32.5%)
Because, like Harry S Truman, my middle initial doesn't stand for anything.
7(17.5%)
Because my middle name is not part of my identity.
6(15.0%)
Because I think it seems mysterious.
10(25.0%)
My ideal date is:
a walk along a sandy beach, barefoot on a clear starry night

eating jellyfish in a Korean restaurant where the Karaoke is loud
0(0.0%)
not involving anything datelike at all, but lots of mud on the boots

You know, I could decide whether to be honest or a smart-ass on this one. So I was both. :) I imagine half the people taking it are in the same boat. . . I am! Look how many people (or how few) I've slept with!
Nah, number of partners doesn't make one a slut. . . I'm not even sure being a slut is a bad thing. . . Being a slut is never bad-- until you meet a slut you want and they won't sleep with you. :) It will never cease to amaze me how my definition failing to mesh with other definitions is such a major issue sometimes. . . I do need to update my website regarding such definitions, though. Eventually. ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/18040833/3132294) | | From: | rfunk |

Are there points for correct answers? Will the correct answers be revealed? ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/58403119/1143777) | | From: | chronarchy |

I do believe that the answers *will* be, at least mostly, revealed.
(Good thing you spelled "revealed" right. I couldn't manage it. "revield", I wrote. . . "reveiled"?) | | From: | rfunk |

With my answers, they might be :) Sheesh, for question #1 there was no option for "Because I'm lazy." So I chose the next closest thing: "I'm trying to be mysterious." ;P *nods* I'll cover the "lazy" argument later :) I did this, but bear in mind I don't know you that well, nor have I ever met you in person. So you're really getting the "livejournal friend" perspective with my answers. :) It was a fun test tho. Quite alright, as those preceptions are also fun to look at and read :) |
