The Monday Mission

1. Who or where do you go to when you need help for web-related problems?
I don't usually have a lot of web-related problems. I do what I can and if I can't do something, I don't. Or I find a site where it's been done and peek at the code. I don't really know anyone in person who's at my level. Does that sound immodest? My Computer Science teacher told my parents that when we got to the web page part of the course, he just stood back and let me do my thing because I knew more than he did in that area. I used to go to my dad for help and I bet he still has a few tricks up his sleeve that I don't know about.

2. There is a big mess of gossip going on in Blogland due to revelations about a very popular Blogger. I got very caught up in reading all the links to links about it until I stopped myself realizing it was none of my buisiness. Do you ever get caught up in gossip, either speading it or listening to it? How does it make you feel? Or have you ever been the subject of gossip?
Now I'm upset and curious because I don't know about this gossip. Grrr. I don't think I've ever really been the subject of gossip or really been involved in any horrible gossip.

3. In a relationship, when your other takes a dig at you (read: a fight), do you go for the jugular and get "in their face" or try to peacefully smooth things out and have a calm discussion?
I usually cry. Oh wait, that's my solution to everything. Between the two of those... depends on the situation.

4. A friend once told me "You can tell when someone is bored with what you are saying to them when they reply with 'That's interesting.'" And I have found this to be pretty dang true. How do you know when someone has lost interest in what you are saying?
Lost interest? In what I am saying? Doesn't happen. Ha ha! Um... loss of eye contact? Or really heavy eye contact, like they're trying to force themselves to pay attention. I don't usually talk a lot or talk much for a long period of time. I try not to give people the opportunity to get bored, I guess.

5. Ever get jealous of the popularity other Blogs?
Sort of, but once I think about it, I wouldn't want to be too popular. I like to see new comments, but some people have posts with more than 100 comments. I don't think I could deal with that. Being small-scale, I have a relationship with my visitors and a healthy balance between people I know in real life and people who are exclusively Internet friends.

6. What is your favorite dirty word? (those who don't curse can pick your favorite happy word)
B*****d. Hee hee hee. I also like to incorporate words from other countries, but I do that with everything - not just dirty words.

7. (the continuing story...) OK, we are definitely doing that again. But seeing as it is nearly 6am now, how about breakfast? Anywhere you'd like to go or should we fix our own? What do you like? Or is there something else we need to do first?
We are going out. I'm not fixing you anything. We are either going to have a traditional English breakfast or we are going to go to a place with a cafeteria-style breakfast bar, where we can choose from a wide array of breakfast foods. Yum!

BONUS: What have I done to deserve this?
I believe you kicked Alf.
