I’ve been interviewed! Sort of.
Brown over at Brown Thoughts has put together an excellent new writing exercise entitled The Imaginary Blog Interview. Basically the task is to interview yourself but pretend you’ve been interviewed by someone else, which means if you suffer from split personalities this should be a breeze for you ;) If you need more clarification, Brown’s description of this little task is “How would you respond if you were interviewed by another blog right now while you’re still undiscovered?” Without further ado I present to you my imaginary interview. That all rhymed, btw. Pretty talented I am, no?
Imaginary Interviewer: What was it that drew you to blogging?
- The fame and fortune, of course. Being adored by millions of readers, hanging on to my every word.
Imaginary Interviewer: How has that been working out for you?
- Not so well. Remind me to remove the embarrassing feed count chicklet over there on the right.
Imaginary Interviewer: What advice would you give to first time bloggers?
- Stop trying to emulate the so called A-listers and PLEASE stop creating a site with a stupid image of a sports car in your header, that obviously is not yours. Instead create a header with little aliens. Chicks dig it.
Imaginary Interviewer: Do you have any methods you can share that help you to be a more successful blogger?
- Yes. I bathe a lot less often now. I find that extra half hour I save each day allows me to get the jump on other bloggers in posting random nonsense before the rest of them.
Imaginary Interviewer: Has that effected any other aspects of your life?
- I don’t have so many friends anymore and flowers tend to wilt when I walk past them.
Imaginary Interviewer: And finally, where do you see yourself as a blogger a year from now?
- I’ll probably still be right here in my smelly, uncomfortable chair drawing cartoons and blogging about things that don’t matter.
I tag the following bloggers to participate and interview themselves. Tish, Christy, Bobby and Helen.
OMG, that was hilarious!!!! ROFL! Thanks for the tag, now I get to ask myself why I’m so damn intelligent, God knows nobody else is going to!! lol
I swear it’s all true…well except for the bathing thing ;P
Ha ha. N1 Mike.
I was gonna do this too. It looks interesting. :)
You should do it! I had fun :D
Cool, I am on on it. Mike, I just about fell out of my chair when you mentioned the sports car header…that is some seriously funny stuff. After looking at 100 cash blogs on viral tags, I almost vomit when I see one now. It’s like all the rappers with giant, oversized gaudy gold chains with a line of sluts behind them. I’m tempted to make a cash blog mockery on my other domain with a picture of a beat up piece of junk in the header. All the stories about those who are starving and adsense tradgedys. Wanna help?
Hahaha…I think you should do it ;P
It seems everyone thinks if they throw a sports car in their header like one certain a-lister they’ll be just like him. It’s like a blogging version of mini-mes.
Hahaha, best interview EVER :P
Hehe…why thank you :D
Another quality interview! You know, this imaginary interview might be my best/craziest idea yet haha. Good thing Bush Mackel suggested I turn it into a meme.
I liked it :D
“Instead create a header with little aliens. Chicks dig it.”
Oh so true, so true!
Now to come up with my own interview questions.. HMmMmmm…
Great interview with good questions (Why dont you blog in the shower and fit everything into your day with ease?)
btw, If you can’t be bothered asking yourself deep questions, try my blog interrogation.
I knew it was Gummy that attracted those chicks to your blog! I knew it! Every time I come here there are at least half a dozen girls in your MBL widget. I think you’re on to something, buddy. :P
Good interview, btw. And I have a tip for you about the bathing thing: just carry around a travel size deodorant thingy. A little dab will do ya! Since Baron gave me that idea it has done wonders for my social life.
@Ed: I’d do the shower thing, but I have tendency to sleep in the shower.
@Mark: Widget envy, Mark? :lol:
That’s not a bad idea actually. I could probably fill my entire widget with ladies then :D
That was great. I loved it! :) I finally got my interview up today. Sad, considering I was one of the first ones Benedict tagged for it…but that’s what happens when Mother Nature steps in to zap your modem!
Shine on,
Aaron
Thanks Aaron :D When I’m a little more awake tomorrow I’ll stop by and check out yours. Right now I’m blogging on fumes ;P
