Forget Twenty Questions, this is Twenty Answers. To questions you didn't ask, but if you were given the chance, you probably still wouldn't.
- I have begun using numbered lists in my e-mails in hopes that it will make it easier for my boss to address all my questions or concerns.
- It doesn't work.
- My neighbor has a guy friend over and I'm excited for her because this is the first evidence I've seen that she has friends.
- Also I found her name out by surreptitiously checking her mail.
- I sure hope she doesn't read my blog.
- She doesn't because nobody does except Bekah and, according to Google Analytics, somebody in the St. Louis area.
- Busted.
- I'm sorry if you are someone else and you read my blog. I appreciate you but you don't comment.
- I got a Facebook message from a random person who paid $0.99 to download my ebook on Amazon. She found it "obliquely interesting" and wanted to know if that was my intention.
- What author does not intend his or her work to be interesting?
- Also, is "obliquely interesting" a backhanded compliment?
- I think "backhanded compliment" should actually be "backhanded insult." Or maybe just "oblique insult" since we're using that word now.
- My co-workers use the word "boff," which I suspect hasn't been common vernacular since 1992.
- I made a list of things to do today and ignored it.
- You should probably know your rights because nobody else is going to know them for you.
- For example, I got underpaid several times because nobody told me Earlham has a two-hour minimum pay when you get called in.
- I keep giving things away on Freecycle but I haven't actually taken anything yet.
- I think that makes it OK that I never bring food to carry-ins.
- They are called carry-ins, not potlucks, which should imply you can bring alcohol but it doesn't.
- This space intentionally left blank.

I feel a little special that I'm the only one that reads your blog. I also feel angry because it's funny and more people should read it.
Let's start a campaign.
it would be obliquely fun.
I read it out loud to Katie and Parker sometimes, does that count?
i totally read your blog. it's in my RSS though, so no Durham hits?
i'm drinking a peppermint mocha while i read it, that's a rare occurrence though. normally i drink caramel lattes.
Look at all these lovely comments.
@bekah: I agree, a campaign is in order. Also it makes me very happy to know you read my blog out loud.
@Amy: win! I don't think RSS registers hits but I'll have to look in to that. I read YOUR blog the same way.
1. How 'bout I punch Ms. Obliquely Interesting in the face?
2. I know we're a bunch of pacifists. But really. She obviously deserves it.
3. It's totally called a potluck.
4. I wonder who this creeper is in St. Louis.
5. My verification word to post this is "tokee".
6. "This bottle of Sprite looks like a pink roller rink in space."
Umm...hello? Okay, you caught me, I've caught up on your blog after a hiatus...didn't know you were still blogging (I figure because I'm not blogging as much no one else is...)
And here's something interesting: the word verification to send this is "herpe."
WTF?
I also read your blog now! Very interesting stuff. Makes me wish I hadn't stopped posting in mine.
