Formspring

Recently one of the bloggers posted something about Formspring and it got me thinking about the subject. This particular post was drawing attention to her Formspring box on her blog and solicited questions. Neat. And I like questions. Cause I'm a bit of an exhibitionist.

And especially when I am struggling to find something to write about, days like today,  it would be wonderful, wouldn't it? Inspirational even.

Except that...

Well, except for lots of things.

And what's Formspring anyway? First the research; yeah you know me by now. Formspring is, according to Wikipedia, "Formspring is an Online Form Builder and Internet hosting service, which enables users to create online forms such as surveys, contact forms, or event registrations. On November 25, 2009, they launched Formspring.Me, a social media site where users can ask each other anonymous questions. ..."

Kind of like Truth or Dare. Remember we used to play that? The thrill of the danger of... questions that you weren't sure of? Questions you couldn't control. But of course you had to answer. That was the rule. And the scary dares. Because it couldn't always be "truth". Sometimes it would be "dare". Where someone could tell you what to do. Yeah, looking back I can see what the 15 year old me loved about that game.

Except that, there are things that I don't want to talk about cause they make me too traceable and I really really don't want this blog to run up against my real life. It would be bad for me (oh so bad) for me for my naughty submissive masochist life to be discovered by my professional life or by my kids.

So what about this? Ask me things that don't try to find the physical me. And I'll try to answer.

Hmmm... now do you think I can figure out how to use that formspring thingy? The answer... yes. At least I have figured out how to make the widget appear. So ask me there or ask me here, and let's see how it goes...

Lol. Instead of ask me anything, it could be "ask me anything except (insert no no list here)".

So, did everyone do what I did and formspring you? There seems to be a drought in your comment box.

@ Lil, yes I could do that, limit the questions but of course I've done it longer, cause I'm a long writer. And if people ask stuff that seems to focus on that kind of info I will just evade it.

@Kelly, yes I got some questions and will answer them, and I've left the box though I moved it down a bit cause stylistically I like the comments from my readers at the top.
