Sunrise or Sunset, Pen or Pencil?
Remember my favourite getting-to-know-you question? (See first blog entry if you don't)
Well, I have a whole slew of getting-to-know-you-better questions.
For instance, if I have not seen you for awhile, I will ask:
''what have been your 3 most memorable events of the past year?'' or ''what are the three things you want achieve in the new year?'' (usually at Christmas/New Year parties)
Now, this tends to drive my immediate family crazy...they don't seem to introspect as much as I would like them to? ;-)
I remember when my mom, sis and I reunited in Boston for my sister's graduation about 3 years ago. Bearing in mind that outside of photos, I have not seen them for about 2 years at this stage. So whilst on the metro to visit Harvard Square, I enthusiastically asked them all my 'catch-up' questions only to be faced with sighs, rolled eyes and monosyllybic replies.
Not to worry, the story has a happy ending. When we arrived and were browsing the bookshops in Harvard Square (frequented no doubt by the great minds from Harvard University), I came across a rather slim, chic looking hardcover book entitled 'All About Me'.
Guess what? This book contained all my favourite getting-to-know-you questions and much much MORE! I was ecstatic and felt completely vindicated - I'm normal! Needless to say, the book had to be purchased.
One of the sections contain questions such as:
Sunrise or sunset (much as I like watching a sunrise, I must go with sunset - I'm more likely to be awake and simply love those glorious orangey/purplely sunsets!)
Pen or pencil (pencil - if I make a mistake, I can erase it but with a pen...)
My favourite - would you rather be blind or deaf?
