The phone interview yesterday went better than the first one did. It wasn’t fantastic, but it was okay. “Okay,” where I don’t know how to feel about things is generally not a readable sign. As soon as I hung up the phone, the impatience of waiting to hear began again.
I really have nothing today, but it feels like cheating to just write the above and count it as the day’s post. So because I enjoy things that make me feel 16 years old, let’s go with a survey:
I have seen variations of this where you use only song titles by the same artist to answer the questions, but I like the one where you have their whole rang of lyrics to choose from, because lord knows I love quoting song lyrics.
So, 10 things about me, via Dar Williams
1: are you a male or a female?
And then I go outside to join the others, I am The Other/Oh and that’s not easy/I don’t know what you saw/I want somebody who sees me/I will not be afraid of women (As Cool As I Am)
2: describe yourself.
I’m my own sovereign nation/Dedicated to transformation/Marching on with this target on my chest
(It’s Alright)
3: how do people feel about you?
Sometimes they say, “I don’t know who you are”/But let me walk with you some (My Friends)
4: how do you feel about yourself?
Perhaps I am a miscreation (Are You Out There?)
5: Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend/love interest:
I tried again, I went last night/Another date was just not right/And as I drove myself back home/A little voice said ‘just be alone’ (Miss You Till I Meet You)
6: where would you rather be?
The city of the new brand new/And the Husdon it holds the life/We thought we did it on our own (The Hudson)
7: describe where you live.
Can I blow this small town? (Spring Street)
8: describe how you live.
I build my peace through strength/That’s the best weapon you’ve got (The Great Unknown)
9: describe how you love.
How I long to fall, just a little bit/To dance out of the lines/And stray from the light…”What is love, where did it get me? Whoever thought of love is no friend of mine” (Iowa)
10: share a few words of wisdom:
Find your voice/Do what it takes/Make sure you make lots of mistakes/And find a future that redeems (Teenagers, Kick Our Butts)

I really like this! I have a feeling completing this survey would be helpful if I ever wanted not to get anything done for a day.

Love the survey. And the fact that you used Dar Williams lyrics. Excellent!
