Questions, many Questions.

What has been the most extreme case of a day in your life that ended up being completely different from how you expected it to be, with events that you never would have predicted when you got out of bed that morning?
Hm.. I've had a lot of days like that. I guess the most glaring example would be the day my father died.
Do you like your life to have unexpected twists and turns, or do you prefer a more predictable path?
I like the unexpected... primarily, when something unexpected happens in my life, it's a good thing. And even those bad surprises have all been survivable, thusfar. Predictable paths are boring.

1. How would you describe live journaling to someone who didn't know what it was?
Like keeping a journal or diary, only in a public or semi-private venue. You can read the journals of friends, join communities of people that share your interests, use a journal to roleplay- all sorts of stuff.
2. Do you automatically reciprocate and add people to your journal when you see that someone new is reading your journal? Why or why not? When and why would you not automatically add someone's journal?
I always add people back when they add me. If they turn out to be annoying, sucky, or just plain irritating- I eventually take them off the list. But I like making new friends- I've only had to remove someone once or twice.
3. Do you publicize your journal? Why or why not?
I have a link up to it on my home page, and perhaps a few other places. Nothing big. I figure if people find it and want to read it, good. If not, that's okay, too. I write in my journal because I like to write, not for anyone else.
4. What attracts you to a particular journal or journaler? What doesn't?
Common interests, an interesting perspective on things, fun or thought provoking entries- a lot of things, really. What doesn't? Well, chatspeak, bad grammar, a bunch of "OMG, like... my life is so full of gothic dark torture!" entries. A bunch of pointless sluttiness. Etc.
5. Recommend a new journal read -- and tell us why you recommend this journaler.
I recommend
ghostofchance , because her journal is full of awesome poetry, little anecdotes about life, etc. She's a very intelligent and interesting person!

1. What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most?
Dishes is the worse. And yeah, we have a dishwasher.. but those pans. Ugh.
2. Are there any that you like or don't mind doing?
I really don't like any chores enough to not mind them. They wouldn't be chores, otherwise.
3. Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it's needed?
Just clean what's needed... except my bedroom which is in dire need of a major organizing/cleaning event that I keep putting off.
4. Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?
I clean my desk when I can no longer fit anything else on top of it. I tend to put -everything- on my desk.
5. What was the last thing you cleaned?
The table, after our snack last night.
