My Twist on the "Ask Me Anything" Meme
Mar. 14th, 2008 12:38 pmAs I think I've mentioned before, I tend to be hyper-cautious about memes that seem to have as their hidden purpose: 1) demonstrating how much feedback you can induce people to give you; or 2) going into TMI-overload with a sort of truth-or-darish "I promise to answer any question!" And as for the whole "working outside my comfort zone" thing, these days that's a life program, not an occasional LJ amusement. But here's an offer inspired by the current "ask me to blog outside my comfort zone" meme that's going around.
Is there any question -- whether idle or deeply profound -- that you've ever wanted to ask me but never felt you had a good opening for? I'm inviting you to ask it here ... with the following conditions.
* I will not be screening comments (either questions or answers). If there's something you want to ask that you don't want the rest of the world to know about, you'll have to do it face to face some time.
* If I think a question is too personal, I'll decline to answer it. (This isn't "hrj bares her soul", just "hrj answers questions".) I probably won't be offended (and I might even answer the same question face-to-face), I just won't post any answers that I'm not willing to have on permanent public record.
* This offer isn't confined to, or necessarily specifically aimed at, my f-list. Casual readers are explicitly included.
And I promise that if nobody has any questions, I won't conclude you-all don't love me! (Or even conclude that my life is an open book with no mysteries.)
