Back in the early days of blogging (well, not early early but early 2000s) there was a meme running around called the Friday Five. I forget the exact history of it and I’m sure there were a few concurrent sites or groups running their own thing, but it existed. It was kinda fun. The one I was following stopped at some point and the world was a sadder place.
You can see my old Friday Five responses here.
Feeling nostalgic, I thought I’d look around and see if anyone’s doing Friday Five still. And the answer was yes. A lot of people are. Sheesh.
Friday5.org seems like a good one, though. so let’s give it a go, shall we?
For this week’s questions, how about giving a thoughtful (or sarcastic, or whatever) answer to these too-oft-asked chit-chat questions?
Can do. And, to make things more interesting, my answers will be in the form of a Choose Your Own Adventure.
1. “Come here often?”
When I get in the mood but not nearly as often as I used to.
or
Pistachio.
2. “What’s new?”
The Apple iPad, which is due for release next month.
or
Not much, man, just hanging out, same old stuff, you know. How about you? Family OK?
3. “[insert your recent weather condition here] enough for ya?”
Ha ha, don’t you know it? I mean, sheesh, when will it end, ya know?
or
Pistachio.
4. “How’s it hangin?”
Low.
or
Well, you know, weather and all being what it is, can’t really tell.
5. “How ’bout them [insert local sports team here]?”
You see that mascot of theirs? I swear, someone wasn’t thinking when they came up with that one.
or
I’m not a big communist kickball fan.
PS – Yes, yes, I know, I owe answers to questions from, what, October? I’ll get to it. Eventually. When I feel like it. Now eat your peas.
