June 3, 2002Monday Mission 6/3/021. Who or where do you go to when you need help for web-related problems? Jeff or Brian, depends on the problem and who's available. 2. There is a big mess of gossip going on in Blogland due to revelations about a very popular Blogger. I got very caught up in reading all the links to links about it until I stopped myself realizing it was none of my business. Do you ever get caught up in gossip, either speading it or listening to it? How does it make you feel? Or have you ever been the subject of gossip? I don't think I get caught up in gossip. I'm usually only interested if it's someone I'm close to, or if it affects me in any way. Gossip can be a horrible, nasty thing. 3. In a relationship, when your other takes a dig at you (read: a fight), do you go for the jugular and get "in their face" or try to peacefully smooth things out and have a calm discussion? Depends on the subject matter at hand, but usually I just get upset and defensive and pretty pissy for a while. 4. A friend once told me "You can tell when someone is bored with what you are saying to them when they reply with 'That's interesting.'" And I have found this to be pretty dang true. How do you know when someone has lost interest in what you are saying? They don't look directly at you; they're easily distracted by other things. Give generic responses, or no response at all. Start talking about something completely unrelated to the conversation. 5. Ever get jealous of the popularity other Blogs? No, not really. 6. What is your favorite dirty word? (those who don't curse can pick your favorite happy word) Don't know. 7. (the continuing story...) OK, we are definitely doing that again. But seeing as it is nearly 6am now, how about breakfast? Anywhere you'd like to go or should we fix our own? What do you like? Or is there something else we need to do first? Waffle House baby! BONUS: What have I done to deserve this? You started it!

1. Who or where do you go to when you need help for web-related problems? I rarely have any, but if it's something major, I look online. Programming-related, I ask Tiago. 2. There is a big mess of gossip going on in Blogland due to revelations about a very popular Blogger. I got very caught up in reading all the links to links about it until I stopped myself realizing it was none of my business. Do you ever get caught up in gossip, either speading it or listening to it? How does it make you feel? Or have you ever been the subject of gossip? I'm sure I've been the subject of gossip. Doesn't bother me though. I put myself out there and have not taken down any responsibly-written criticisms. As far as gossip, I like knowing what's going on around me. But that's mainly for selfish reasons-- so I don't say anything stupid. (for example, if I don't know someone in the office had a fight at home, I'd feel awful starting out small talk with "So, how's the wife?") 3. In a relationship, when your other takes a dig at you (read: a fight), do you go for the jugular and get "in their face" or try to peacefully smooth things out and have a calm discussion? I stay super-calm and collected. A lot of the time, my point of view is completely missing the perspective of the other person. I never get in anyone's face, and I can't imagine I ever would, unless I was defending my life or the life of someone I cared about. (Normally that's defense instead of offense though). But no. I don't dig up old shit, I don't throw punches, I don't break things. I know how to fight dirty, but to date, I never have. Frustration happens sometimes. That's when I go out to the car, make sure I'm alone, then yell my fucking head off. I come back, calm and collected, and no one is the wiser. (That's happened twice in my life.) 4. A friend once told me "You can tell when someone is bored with what you are saying to them when they reply with 'That's interesting.'" And I have found this to be pretty dang true. How do you know when someone has lost interest in what you are saying? Even good friends start looking at their watches when I'm talking. Jesus, I must be boring as shit. 5. Ever get jealous of the popularity other Blogs? Not at the price of high bandwidth hosting. Yikes. But word of mouth? I'd love more, sure. I don't know why though. 6. What is your favorite dirty word? (those who don't curse can pick your favorite happy word) Fuck. Oh man what a great fucking word. You can use "fuck" in everything. It's a noun, adjective, verb, adverb, exclamation, preposition, you name it. It's the best fucking word on the whole fucking planet. 7. (the continuing story...) OK, we are definitely doing that again. But seeing as it is nearly 6am now, how about breakfast? Anywhere you'd like to go or should we fix our own? What do you like? Or is there something else we need to do first? Dude, you're a guy. We're not dating. Ever. If you wanted to hang out or something, we could hit Waffle House or somethin, but don't get fresh with me, punk-ass. BONUS: What have I done to deserve this? What didn't you do, you fucking fuck-nut!? This was fun. I like not having to make up topics when I blog. Oh wait, this isn't my blog. :) Nice Olivia!
