2021! January
Happy New Year everybody. I've already said that to many, on your own journals, but I just realised we are three days into the new year and I have not posted in 2021. So much for that plan *g* (No, I don't do resolutions for this very reason *g*)
But it is a new year and a new meme. Gakked from brutti with thanks.
1. What’s one question you hate being asked?
I had to really think about this, because it is such a long time since I was with someone I don't already know so well that they don't need to ask that kind of question.
So I racked my brain. And I realised that there is no one question that I hate being asked, but generally I really dislike intrusive questions about my past that don't spring naturally from the conversation we are having. I have no objection to talking about myself if I can choose what I volunteer, but being asked, out of the blue, questions that pry into my life... No. That I do not like.
2. Has the media influenced your view on the world?
Of course. I watch and listen to the news and that can't help but inform, educate and entertain me and influence my view of the world. And horrify me on many occasions. How can it not?
3. What could make other people angry about you?
In a big way this is a question about hypothetical 'other people' who are not me, and is asking me to put myself inside their heads. I would like to think that nothing about me would make other people angry, or even envious, but I imagine that is impossible. Depending upon who they are, it could be my very existence, since I am retired, comfortably off, white, had a good education, have had a fulfilling life so far, etc. I'm sure there are many things about me that could make other people angry, but I am not going to speculate about what's in their minds.
