If you could punch anyone in the face, who would it be and why?

I have come to a point in Project eHarm where I don't look at all of my matches and I just respond to the ones who attempt to communicate with me. That is my strategy. I have 93 matches and everyday, eHarm sends me 5 emails with subject lines like, "Love is Knocking on Your Door, Meet today's matches!" No, eHarm, love is not knocking on my door, it's likely some unemployed 34-year-old who lives with his mom and loves his cats.

As previously stated, I have responded to everyone who contacted me -- yes, even the extrasolar planets cat guy. I don't exactly have a method or a set of criteria for the men. My plan is to just roll with it. I don't archive or close anyone out either because I 'm too lazy to. Come to think of it, I maybe quickly developing the reputation of being too "loose" on eHarm. Perhaps that could work in my favor.

Also, because I am lazy, I did not really examine the profiles of those who I responded to. I possibly could have responded to someone who is passionate about collecting Troll dolls, locks of women's hair, someone on a police database or worse. I could have responded to an ultra Right-wing nutcase or a Left-wing extremist. I do not know which is worse. They say that politics is best left out of the bedroom (or is it the dinner table?). Either way, I do believe that relationships can work, even thrive, when there are opposing political views. My parents for example. Mom was a Democrat and dad, a conservative Republican and both were very opinionated. They somehow made it work. However, for me, anyone who fall in the very very far right or very very far left of the political spectrum will not do. These people are typically the "crazies" and you cannot reason with crazy people. It's like dating Hitler or Stalin.

Anyway, here are some questions I have used or am thinking about using for my next communication with a potential suitor:

1.) What is your dream job?

2.) What is something you would do that you had absolutely no skill or knowledge of doing right now? 
(For example, be a rapper because that's one thing I would do. The point is it has to be something completely out of your element. Another one for me would be to climb Mount Everest.)

3.) If you could get paid to do anything (that is not currently an actual occupation), what would it be? 
(This one I stole from Jude. The one rule is that it cannot be an actual job. For example, being a Food Critic is an actual job but petting dogs is not and it's something some people enjoy doing.)


4.) Name 5 bands or artists you would like to see perform live at least once in your lifetime.


5.) If you were in a band, who would you be and why?


6.) If you could be any character in any book, who would you be and why?


7.) If you could punch anyone in the face, who would it be and why?


8.) Do you have an award speech? Or if you could get any award, what would it be?
(This was on a Friend's episode once. For example, do you have an Oscar speech, a Grammy speech, Emmy, etc.)


9.) What is your favorite meal of the day?


10.) Whose mind would you like to borrow for a day?


No one has asked me any of these questions or anything resembling them. I think these are pretty kickass questions. I would totally date someone who wanted to know these things about me. Hmm. That kind of sounded narcissistic.

Anyway, if you are reading this, please feel free to play. I would love to know your answers.



5 comments:

  1. 1) Movie/TV Critic

    2) Travel guide in a foreign country

    3) I've always wanted to be a critic/censor for commercials. I would praise the good ones and let them air and deny the stupid ones any time. I think they let any crap on TV and someone should be monitoring these things. That someone should be me. Although now that the world works on DVR no one watches commercials so my job is already obsolete. Drat.

    4) Linkin Park, Madonna, Nirvana (in the early 90s. obviously I believe in time travel), Metallica, and Robbie Williams (no music is required for this one. In fact I'd prefer a private concert, just me and him. Clothing optional.)

    5) I'd be the drummer. In the back but still a part of the action.

    6) Either Bella Swan because who wouldn't want to have Taylor Lautner's abs following you around all the time or the 2nd Mrs. de Winter in Rebecca. I'd fire Ms. Danvers and rule the manor house.

    7) Bad drivers. Possibly because I encountered quite a few this past weekend.

    8) Golden Globes. I'd have to win 2- one for outstanding TV actress and one for outstanding film actress. Then I could hold them both and walk up to people and say "wanna touch my golden globes?"

    9) This really depends on the day. During the work week my FiberOne bar really isn't that exciting for breakfast and dinner is something sad like soup or toast, so my favorite would be lunch when I hand out with my work buddy. On the weekends it's more likely dinner.

    10) I'd like to borrow a child's mind to see life through unjaded and simple eyes. To see all the potential that is sometimes cloudy by reality.

  2. So I must say that following S.D. with my answers is NOT EASY. In fact, I found it really hard to answer the questions. Sarah, you will have to post some of the answers you get from possible matches so we can compare notes.

    1.) This is tough…I would say a host on my own travel show, be on the DDD crew, a professional blogger, a wedding photographer (who only worked for nice brides), or the hostess to my own eatery.

    2.) Scuba diving, skydiving, or acting in a million dollar budget movie.

    3.) I would like to get paid for playing Farmville or doing the laundry.

    4.) Interpol, White Stripes, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Kings of Leon.

    5.) Lead singer so I could be the center of attention and wear cute clothes…at least I’m honest!

    6.) Part of me thinks I would like to be the wife in the Time Traveler’s Wife, so that I way I would know I would get to see John one he has died. Or…I would like to be Bella so then I could live FOREVER with John (who would of course be Edward).

    7.) I really don’t think I hate anyone enough to punch them in the face. I might want to scream at a stupid person, but I think I’m too wimpy to get violent.

    8.) I don’t have a prepared speech, but of course I would like to win the Oscar for best actress…just so I could get a fancy dress and walk the red carpet at least twice.

    9.) Dinner is my favorite meal because it’s the only meal I eat without having a time limit…but I hate having to cook after I get home from work.

    10.) I think I would like to borrow my teenage mind. I find current teenagers SO annoying that I’m curious to know if I was that annoying at that age…but I doubt it.

    1. Middle manager or government lackey. Yes. I have arrived. Suck it bitches. Also it might be fun to be some kind of a writer.

    2. Start a cult, or maybe a pointless revolution.

    3. Rucksack wanderer

    4. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, NWA, Nirvana

    5. Bass player, because the bass player never dies first.

    6. Atticus Finch, because he is a hard-core bad-ass.

    8. I have a speech prepared for the Source Awards, just in case.

    9. Breakfast....

    10. Aldous Huxley. I would like to know what that much LSD feels like.
