A quarter of the way through my project, I find my responses dropping off somewhat. Ratings retention has become a concern lest the project risk cancellation.
Like many of my ex-girlfriends, I have very little good to say about MySpace at this stage in my life, but I did a learn a handful of valuable lessons from our time together. One of those lessons is that people who are only passively engaged in the content of a post will usually jump at the opportunity to fill out a survey and return its results. To that end, I've assembled a list of questions I usually ask when the conversation begins to lag on a first date.
Since the only people left following my project at this point are, undoubtedly only the most charming and dazzlingly droll young women that the metro area has to offer, it stands to reason that any first date conversations we'll be having will be able to survive without training wheels.
So, on to the tacky ploy for more responses:
1) What was the first live music event you paid your own money to attend?
2) Who would you like to play you in the movie version of "100 Days of Craigslist"? (Assume it's okay to cast against type.)
3) Do you like your dad? (I don't usually ask this, but I try obliquely to find out.)
4) What word do you have the hardest time remembering how to spell?
5) Do you have any self-imposed dietary restrictions? (Religious counts as self-imposed)
6) Pancakes, toast or muffin? (If toast, white or wheat? If muffin, what type?)
7) Do you have any strong opinions about the appropriate use of ketchup or other condiments?
8) What year did you stop buying CDs?
9) How tall are you? (Yes, it seems weird that I have to ask, but girls from 5'1" to about 5'9" all look the same size to me.)
10) Please rank the five basic hard liquors in order of preference.
*************************************************
I will of course respond with my answers to these 10 and any other questions you might have if you e-mail.
I'm Dan. It turns out, I couldn't find anything fun to do last Friday.
