Questions Questions Questions
Don't get me wrong, I am the one who preaches ignorance is stupidity- which breeds the theory that being inquisitive is the only way to live life. But being on Myspace and talking to random people a lot because of it does lead to one thing: tons of fucking questions. Some questions and good, interesting, easy, and spark conversation. Others are not. Others are annoying and unnecessary, and I will actually feel myself getting aggrivated as I type out the answer. Haha, yes, this does go completely against my patience preaching, but shutup I hate you.
Of course, the only way to get to know someone, be it a friend or lover, is by asking questions. Not everyone opens up easily- apparently I like to lay a lot of things out on the table and see what you pick at. Some people you really have to probe to get into his/her head, and find out what drives him/her (note: I am sticking to him the rest of this blog because that gets damn annoying to read and you know I am not a chauvinist. Oink oink baby)
Point is, some people ask a lot of questions. Too many questions even. And the way to start off knowing someone, finding out more about them, shouldn't be a barrage of questions, almost making me sweat. I shouldn't feel like I am hiding something that you are digging for, that just gets weird. Normal conversation should flow, mixed in with questions here and there to clarify and make a better point. But no, not everyone follows those rules. Sometimes I have to wonder, does this person even give a shit what the answer is? Small things, like you just start talking to me, and ask if I have any brothers or sisters. Okay... WHY? Why do you give a shit? Unless you are a guy, and you want to be a smartass and ask if I have a hot sister, what's the point? Do you think you have the only child stereotype pegged- to a T? C'mon now. Yes I have three half sisters, no I don't know them well and no I never lived with them. Want me to explain the dynamic of the parents and why they are half sisters and who belongs to whom?
My job is random and complicated to explain, and I'm going to guess 93% of people who ask about it, know nothing about the insurance industry, don't know a damn thing about their own car insurance, or even most things about car insurance in general, and will have no further enlightenment after I waste my time explaining. My close friends, I can understand them taking an interest. But someone who randomly IMs me because I seem funny on Myspace, and asks all about my job, what the fuck do they care? Seriously.
All I'm saying is, questions are fine, but pick and choose what and how you ask. Someone just asked me if there was a reason why I typed what I did for my profile on Myspace. HOW THE HELL DO YOU ANSWER THAT? I am more confused as to how that question went from her senses, mostly the eyes, to her brain, was formed into a hmmmm and able to travel into her fingers to type that out and hit enter. It's not even a dumb question, it just doesn't make any sense. Yes I was inspired by watching Rocky IV the other night. So inspired I labored for days to make sure my profile didn't suck as much as that movie.
CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT! And our chances at a conversation.

There should be a point in getting to know a person when you shouldn't need to ask so many questions, but be able to get a feeling for the person's personality and all that through hanging out and talking. There are ways to find out things about a person without directly asking. Sometimes it's a lot better to let these things unfold then pry it out of a person.
This is why I posted about Myspace. I fucking hate Myspace. If it were up to me the whole site would come down.
PS- the only good Rocky movie was the first one. Why would they be inspired to make a sixth one 20 years later? It's gonna SUCK...
People ask questions because they are searching. I find their questions helpful in my decisions on whether or not I would care to continue chatting with them or not. If they are obviously searching for sex, ( Wow you hot! What size are you boobs? ) they get tossed.
( although I have been know to lead them on a bit and then get rid of them) If they ask a question that denotes more interest in me or my brain ( what kind of music do you like? What do you do for a living?),
then they can stick around for a while.
There is a saying that goes something like this "There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers. "
