It's my birthday today, so I'm giving myself a writing break. I thought I'd try something a little different for this post instead.
Have you ever met someone you really liked and wanted to see if they were good relationship material? Or have you ever wondered how well you really know your partner? Or maybe you're just hanging with friends and need some good discussion topics.
A while back I made up a list of questions that I kept handy for exactly these sorts of situations. I figured I'd share them and see if anybody finds them useful. If you feel moved to answer any of them I'd love to hear what you come up with!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When you wake up in the morning, your first thought is:
- Must. . . hit. . . snooze alarm. . .
- Bathroom run!!!!!
- I wonder if she's as horny as I am right now?
- Drool puddle on the pillow again--yuck!
You have a flat tire. Do you. . .
- Call AAA
- Grab the lug wrench and pull out the spare tire
- Realize with a sinking feeling in your gut that that WAS the spare tire that just blew
- Perch on the car and try to look cute so someone will stop to help
How do you feel about doing laundry?
- Groan, Can there be a chore any more BORING?
- Yum, nothing smells nicer than clean fresh sheets
- Yeah baby! I never miss a chance to straddle the washer during the spin cycle!
How best would you describe your kissing style?
- Slow and lingering
- Hungry and passionate
- Hunt and peck
- Vampiric
When finding myself in a room full of strangers I:
- Hide in the corner
- Give a friendly hello and introduce myself
- Am the life of the party
- Sneak out the back door
Finish this sentence. I dance like:
- Fred Astair
- John Travolta
- A baby elephant
- Lurch
- Cher
We have a free afternoon together. Would you prefer to:
- Go to a museum
- Take a drive with no particular destination in mind
- Go antiquing or explore a flea market
- Take in a great movie
- Hang out around the house and relax together
- Have wild monkey sex
What qualities are most important to you in a partner?

First off, happy blessed birthday to you! Are birthdays something to celebrate? Completely absolutely, sun circuiting is the best!
However, regarding the rest of this interrogation of the soul, I shall have to get back to you - but get back to you I shall... LOL
Have a great day.
Spirit. X.
Happy bday! I am soooo answering these on my blog! Just a lovely birthday gift to youuuuu! ha ha, have a great day!
That's a lot of questions for a first date. And personally I can never think of an answer to "what if" questions that would never happen. "What if" I could fly? Well, I can't. I think this started in university when guys would try to start a conversation with me (then an Astrophysics student) with the question "what if you're driving at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on?" Well, you're just not. You're not driving at the speed of light. Ever. Now shut up, I trying to watch Star Trek. I guess I'm off topic now.
Happy birthday.
"My dog eats your shoe..." Was my foot still in it? I might react kinda poorly...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
She's never as horney as me.
I change it quick.
I just wash it.
That depends on where on you I'm kissing
That depends on the strangers
John Travolta
Maybe we could have sex while taking in a movie
She needs to smoke dope.
My best trait is my hunility. My worst fault is there's only one of me.
Jimi Page, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, those guys knew how to party.
Getting high and watching cartoons.
Dr. Evilplot is my worst enemy. He keeps plotting to destroy mankind and then George Bush or Kofi Annan calls me up all cryin "Plaese save us Nick Danger" It gets so mononatous.
Invisibility
Eagle

I feed him the other.

Happy Birthday Juno!! That's a LOT of questions. i wish I could ask them all on a date! I'd probably get stood up for the second date though!
Happy Birthday Lady!!!!
That is sure alot of questions, not sure I would want to be on a date with someone who gave me the third degree!!!!! BUt then again finding out some of that stuff right off the get could be very, helpful indeed!Hope you have a gloriious day:):):):):):)
GREAT BIG "BUFFLEHUGS" FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY :D
I'll get back to you on the list - I'm curious what I say! ;)
If only I'd had that questionnaire when I was single! Happy Birthday!
LOL. You don't ask them all on the first date! You sort of spread them out over time--get them intrigued. Sort of like the Arabian Nights. At least that how it worked for me.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
