I'm not a very big fan of lists, those things that go around the internets either on blogs or in e-mail. You know what I'm talking about. "Make a list of things and send it to people you know for them to fill out and send to people they know." It is like a global game of Telephone, except nothing fun comes out the end. The blog version is a little less annoying than the e-mail in this regard, as it generally doesn't involve so many >'s, strange tabs, and pages of junk at the end of your e-mail but it is much more pernicious as it involves broadcasting your answers to the entire universe for all time, or until the Chinese hit us with an electromagnetic weapon that wipes out our data servers and circuit-based equipment thereby erasing the history of the internets.
Perhaps what is behind my dislike for these lists is the fact that I am rather bland when it gets right down to it. Other than a few surface eccentricities which can be summed up in a few words (monkeys, bears in outfits, Beanie Babies, pessimism, occasional mental instability) there really isn't that much going on within The Misspent Life (hence the name and lack of blog content). Another reason for my distaste is the fact that when it comes time to sending them on I don't really have many options and this reminds me of my solitude.
Anyway, so I got tagged for one of these lists from Blimpish and you can see the results below.
