you q, i’ll a – the 2009 edition

Today I’m off to volunteer at a golf tournament for work. I know. So many things about that sentence seem… off. But there you have it. Anyway, since so many fun and interesting things come from it, let’s open up the comments to question. You ask, I’ll answer in the next post.

Ready? Go!

Oh, and comments are moderated, which means they get scanned for swears and stuff before they’re posted. So, don’t worry if you don’t see your question for a while.

Besos!

    What name did Dork Lord’s parents bestow upon him at birth? If you’re taking guesses, I guess Jason or Michael.

  • betsy

    what are you and the dork lord going to be for halloween this year?

  • can i ask a couple?!

    -how long do you see yourself continuing to blog for? do you ever see yourself NOT blogging, in some capacity at least?

    -someone once asked me this: “assuming that you write an anonymous or partially anonymous blog, by what non-physically identifying characteristics might you be identified in a bar?”

    -do you follow a lot of blogs? who are your favorites right now?

    Fish,

    A long time ago you blogged about your gyno lecturing you on waxing. I have always wondered why? I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it!

    Alexa

  • Katy

    a practical question: I’m sure you get asked this a lot, but how did you get into blogging? I am a recent college grad., and I’d love to eventually do something like you’re doing, but I have no idea where to start.

    and a fun one: If you could have a lifetime supply of any food (regardless of cost or calories) what would it be?

  • LG

    Barbara E: My guess is Chris.

  • Whenever you do a Q&A I always want to ask about Ben & The Intern.

    I know you won’t answer, so:

    What do you miss about NY, if anything?

  • S

    Was just reading your last post, and am wondering (b/c I am nosy) is the debt that is stressing you out so credit card or student loan or car loan or all of the above? I think the whole country is a tense, tight-lipped version of their former selves right now. My husbands’ been unemployed for 6 months, there don’t even seem to be any potential jobs on the horizon for him, and I’m trying to alone carry our rent and living expenses, both our student loan payments, and I already had one pay cut and they’re talking about more in January. I heart the economy!

    LG – Should we get a pool going? Set up brackets based on some obscure algorithms (that’s the extent of my knowledge of algorithm — how to spell it). Fish gets all the winnings. Of course, those would be virtual winnings which — well — don’t exist. Clearly an algorithm somewhere needs tweaking.

  • Deeanna

    How are you adjusting to the pooch these days? Do he and kitty get along? Can we ever see a picture of Dork Lord??

  • Misses M

    So you live in Texas, you lived in New York and (I think) you lived in Boston for awhile. People from any of those three places usually have a recognizable accent. My mother-in-law has a serious Boston accent going on even though she left Boston 40 years ago. So what (if any) accent do you have?

  • danielle

    I’m a very long time reader and am really curious if you ever talk to J or have you in the last few years? If not, do you think he reads your blog?

  • danielle

    Just in case you don’t want to answer my other question, how long exactly have you and Dork Lord been dating?

  • molly

    What kind of work are you doing now?

  • MissusB

    What is your favorite concert?

  • lawyerchik1

    These are not nearly as profound, but here goes:

    1. How long did it take you before you could complete the 30-day shred workout without wanting to throw up? and,

    2. Are you still running?

    These are just questions because I need – NEED!! – to get motivated, and if I know that there is a light at the end of the workout tunnel, I might be less inclined to sit by the track with my eyes closed….. :)

  • Melissa

    What’s your favorite part of the day? What’s your favorite girly girl memory? How many cookies do you think you could polish off if you had a good friend and a really big glass of milk? What traveling is there on the immediate to-do list?

  • SMac

    So if you’re busy scanning your reader’s posts “for swears and stuff”, who’s scanning your posts (case in point… “good old fashioned not doing jack shit”). Let me know if you need a proofreader, err scanner). SMac

  • Melissa (different Melissa than the one above me!) :)

    Hi Fish,

    Do you have any cute, single, man friends left in the Boston area? :)

    And for my non-self centered question…What was your nephew’s first word? :)

  • Sarah

    Have you ever been to Italy?

  • Isophorone

    I do tend to ask people if the rumors are true about them and Madonna. So are they in your case?

    Not a question, but I saw this and thought that you and the Dork Lord might get a kick out of it:

  • Are you obsessed with Mad Men?

    If yes, which character?

  • Are you obsessed with Mad Men?

    If yes, which character would you like to:

    a) be

    b) marry

    c) sleep with don draper-styles

    c) steal their wardrobe

    d) make cup of hot tea for them (awkward pronouns, regretting going with the dot-point format but it’s too late) and tell them everything will be ok whilst secretly thinking “YOU ARE DOOMED”

    Thankee, Fish!

    p.s. Dunno how you’ll answer this if you’re NOT into Mad Men, but somehow I feel certain you’ll come up with something awesome either way.
