QotD: I Never Should Have Asked...

What question do you wish you'd never asked.
Submitted by cha0tic.

Would you be an outlaw for my love?

Yes! The song lyrics continue, and it's a legitimate answer. The thing I hate more than the fact that The Outlaw broke my heart is that I wasted such a good nickname on him. Never trust a redhead.

What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.

I miss the innocence I've known, woohooo yeah, playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned. I should see if I can answer all the QOTDs for the rest of the week with song lyrics.

QotD: You're the Inspiration...

nobody@vox.com(Jodi) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:21:37 -0500

Who inspires you to be the person you are today?
Submitted by meuuy.

I don't like this question. It's too vague and touchy feelie. I am not quite sure how someone else can inspire me to be me. You know? There are lots of people who inspire me to be a better version of myself. I'm a firm believer in the idea that every person you come in contact with has some sort of significant impact on who you become. We remake ourselves everyday. How's that for vague and touchy feelie?

QotD: Time Travel & the Batman

nobody@vox.com(Jodi) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 14:09:54 -0500

What's the closest thing you have to a time machine?
Submitted by Verisimilitude.

My Rainman-like memory. There will come a time in our relationship where I will remember some random fact about you and it will creep you out. you will call me a stalker and I will have to explain that I just have a really, very good memory. It's the only way I can explain it.

In other news I saw the Batman movie and HOLY SHIT DOES IT ROCK. It was so awesome that words cannot quite do it justice. I laughed and I cried, literally. I also gasped and had to resist the urge to clap with glee. It was good. And all that hype surrounding Heath Ledger's posthumous? It's totally well-deserving.

God the batman is good.

QotW: My Commute

nobody@vox.com(Jodi) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:02:35 -0500

How do you travel to and from work - personal vehicle, bus, subway/train, pedal power? What does it cost you per week in gas or fares?
Submitted by Jan.

Well, I work at Supergenius HQ so my travel to and from is usually my own feet. I don't pay too much in gas or fares, because I get free parking in the Supergenius HQ and Ruby doesn't leave the garage all that often.

QotD: Liar Liar

What is the biggest lie you've told?
Submitted by lazywong.

Jason already took the best, and obvious one, "I love you." So I'll go with, "Yes, it was good for me."

QotD: Won't You Be My Neighbor?

nobody@vox.com(Jodi) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:48:45 -0500

How do you choose your Vox neighbors and friends?
Submitted by gcgal.

I am a neighbor snob and have been known to go on massive de-neighboring sprees. I like my neighborhood to be filled with people who write well about interesting things, and who don't update 88 times in a single day. I get cranky when I go to my Vox front page and it's filled with random updates from the same person.

I'm also not a fan of people who constantly "repurpose" content from other sites/people. I'm all for a good link on occasion, but copying and pasting the article from another site -- not cool. Same goes for the quiz/meme-heads -- I don't abide that either.

Told you I was a snob.

Getting involved in the fray of comments always helps get you neighbored as does writing about books and music I like.

QotD: Mind Your Blogging Manners!

nobody@vox.com(Jodi) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:03:27 -0500

What do you think is good blog etiquette and what do you want from your readers?
Submitted by April.

I am hardly a blogging nazi. I'm all for censorship-free discourse. However if I may make a suggestion, here's a short list of things Miss Manners would not approve of you saying on the blogs:

QotD: It's Monday Already?

nobody@vox.com(Jodi) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:14:52 -0500

What was the best thing about your weekend?

Er, I slept a lot? My weekend was wholly uneventful. I had beers with the Theologian, a grad party, and a completely frustrating Sunday. Woo to the hoo.
