What is your first impression of a middle-aged Caucasian man driving a fancy sports car? How about a monster truck?

What is your favorite love story? It can be a movie, book, or even a couple you know in person.

Question of the Week

Normally I take my questions from a book on questions that I have; this week’s question is straight from my head, though. Well, my head and the heads of all my friends, from what I’ve seen online.

The question is… What the fuck, Facebook?

Between making the page hard to read (what’s new? do drunken spastic monkeys choose these top stories? where are my friends? I wish this ticker would die in a fire!) and even more privacy concerns (tracking off-Facebook activity, being able to see what your friends comment on their friends posts) and just general fuckery and ill will… really. What. The. Fuck. I want to love you, Facebook; you keep me in touch with many of my far-flung friends. But you’re making it awfully hard to love you.

As an addendum to that question… what about Google+? Is that any better, privacy-wise? I post more there to a select small group just so I can bitch about things slightly less publicly, but I have no doubt that someday everything I whine about will “accidentally” be made public and then boy won’t I look bitchy. Also, most of the people I know on Facebook aren’t on G+. Plus, G+ isn’t yet set up for businesses, so I don’t have a HaldeCraft page there like I do on Facebook. The HaldeCraft FB page is pretty interactive, so I don’t want to totally quit Facebook because of that. But again, most people aren’t on G+ yet. So do I post both places? Put pithy comments both places? Mostly ignore Facebook and use G+, because most of my best friends are on it? But my husband JUST got on Facebook! It’ll be years before he’s on G+! Gah. Oh, confunction.

What decisions are you coming to about Facebook? Do you have any thoughts on FB vs. G+? I’d love to hear them!

And the Question of the Week is… WTF, March? Wasn’t it just New Years? HAHAHA. I kid, I kid. The real question is… What do you love to be asked about yourself? What could you just go on and on about, and yet not bore people to tears?

And the Question of the Week is… in your major relationships (spouse/partner/heterosexual life-mate), which of you is the more emotionally stable one?

My answer: DUH. Do you even KNOW me?! OK; sarcasm aside; I think it’s really a pretty even call, with most of my major relationships. That’s the thing about people you love – you try to be an anchor for them, and they try to be an anchor for you. It all works out.

Whoa, almost forgot it was Monday again! The Question of the Week is… What do you like the most about your home? The least?

My answer is after the cut.

What I like most is my office; primarily because of the skylights and the built-in bookshelf. I’ve always had a soft spot for built-in units; bookshelves, pocket doors… things like that. And I love the sound of the rain on the skylights, and the natural light in this room.

What I like least is not having a heater. Especially this morning, when it’s in the upper 50′s… inside.
