Question of the Day

[ayoub]

When you talk with someone new, what are the first things you say about yourself?

---

That I'm slightly crazy, a father, and single :D

I don't know, whatever happens to come up. I usually tell random stories.

[beatzz.livejournal.com]

School, invariably. Music sometimes, because that's totally what you talk to teenagers about, right~?

[bronxelf-ag001.livejournal.com]

Depends on context. Are they in person, online? In-world?

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

That i'm a noncustodial parent, work in food service, and have an unfortunate yarn fetish. :)

[kathyrene.livejournal.com]

A lot depends but I usually stray to my love nature and photography.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Let's take online for this...

NYC Native
Carbon Based.
INTJ Poster Child.

What i reveal about me is more based on the questions that they ask me, or if someone says "I like X" then i may give an example too, things like that.

[cerebralpig.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I don't know. Whatever I ask them I suppose and that varies such a lot.

[heardthatnoise.livejournal.com]

I actually struggle with this. :)

[ktsies2.livejournal.com]

I guess whatever topic is being discussed...though I tend to keep to myself mostly.

[sorah.livejournal.com]

Define "someone new," then I can answer :o)

"Even though I look like I'll pound the crap out of you, it's just unfortunate genetics. Really, I'm a great guy, unless you piss me off, and then I'll pound the crap out of you."

Usually that's on LJ as a friendzy intro and it goes something like "Hi, I'm Rhiannon, a single mom of two boys and the dragon at the gate for the Chair of the Tech Department at ASU."

OK, I just started using the dragon part at the last friendzy but I like it :D

hahaha! =p

Married, two kids, happy, bold and talkative!!

[soothethemuse.livejournal.com]

asl and married if it's online. And that I'm not interested in anything but convo.

On the phone, it's sort of a breathless rambling about life, current events and some questions.

[rowanchey.livejournal.com]

LOL! When I meet someone new, I usually don't say much of anything at all.

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

If I'm asked, I tell them I'm a bard - scholar, Druid, writer, musician, artist. But I have to be asked. When confronted with someone new, I now tend to hold my tongue and watch them with all my burgeoning powers of observation.

[hippie-geisha.livejournal.com]

Only slightly crazy? LOL!

It really depends upon the situation, and the vibe I pick up from the person. I usually don't reveal a whole lot, if anything, at first.

[ziyda.livejournal.com]

I say "Pay no attention to those rumors about me!"
Seriously, it is very random, in the interests of non-boredom.

[allyra.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about the "slightly" crazy bit?

*runs away without answering the question*

[isis-lives.livejournal.com]

Not one set response. Usually some variation of "I wonder if they know how weird I am yet."

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

:P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I've witnessed those powers of observation!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

:D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

And deprive them of your voice and accent? Cruelty, I say!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Someone you haven't met?

[smwright.livejournal.com]

I don't generally talk to "new" people.

[nonickname96.livejournal.com]

Usually what my job is, where I'm from... stuff about Jimmy & our marriage and such.

♥

[sorah.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, well that depends on the situation. While at work, I come from another angle. While out and about, whatever comes up. I do not have a standard, "Hi, etc. etc. etc."

Good question - got me thinking and I have no set answer as it depends on the climate in which I meet someone new.

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

That's nothing compared to the training I'm giving myself now. I'm watching, learning, and studying. One day I'll be wicked cool. ^__^

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I must visit again!

[castlelady.livejournal.com]

As little as possible. I let them share first.
