1. How old is your blog?
Almost ten months.
2. How would you categorize your blog?
It is uncategorized...thus the name I Blog About Nothing. For more on this see one of my earliest posts. D once said that if I continued to blog about things like products that help women pee standing up and whose job it is to change the toilet paper roll people would classify me as a bathroom blog, but I think I have broader reaching subjects than just the bathroom.
3. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered?
Not generally. Not on this blog anyway, unless I decide to post a light saber picture...but I haven't put one of those on this blog yet.
4. Do you lie in your blog?
No. Do you believe me?
5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
I looked up passive-aggressive on Wikipedia just to make sure it was what I thought it was. For your enjoyment here is the definition.
Passive-aggressive behavior refers to passive, sometimes obstructionist resistance to following authoritative instructions in interpersonal or occupational situations. It can manifest itself as resentment, stubbornness, procrastination, sullenness, or repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is assumed, often explicitly, to be responsible. It is a defensive posture and, more often than not, only partly conscious. For example, people who are passive-aggressive might take so long to get ready for a party they do not wish to attend, that the party is nearly over by the time they arrive.
My answer is...not that I am partly conscious of.
6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?
I have written about the idea of quitting before. It wasn't a threat, but I thought about stopping. I certainly didn't put the idea forward to get people's attention. I think all bloggers go through times (often repeatedly) where they hit a wall in the blogosphere and aren't sure if they should continue on. So they take a break, and most times they miss it and they come back.
7. Have you deleted any of your own posts? Why?
No, but I have gone back and edited grammatical errors or reworded things to make more sense.
8. Do you delete mean comments?
Once when someone took offense at my blog about why Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side. The person was not one of my regular readers and took me too seriously. I wouldn't have had a problem if they had not used inappropriate language, so I deleted it. I have also deleted comments that were spammy in nature.
9. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?
I honestly don't know. Hopefully they would like me just the same.
10. How many blogs do you follow?
I don't have to follow them, they come right to my computer! (Okay, about 30 that are in my favorites and a few others I check out less frequently)
11. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
Well...there are many I would like to meet. Pretty much all of my favorites. I don't think I could pick just one.
12. Does your family read your blog?
Yes, my Mom does sometimes and some of my sisters although none of them ever comment (snobs).
13. Do you have a hit counter? How often do you check it?
I do. Once every couple of days. I don't get a lot of hits so why check more often?
14. Is blogging narcissistic?
Only if you keep reading your own blogs over and over...
15. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time?
Yes.
Bonus: Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
No...but I don't wear my PJs and slippers to the store either.
Almost ten months.

I love the wiki definition of Passive-aggresive and the example, just perfect.
#8, the peron who got all wacked out about you theory on Anakin, wow, just wow, some people really need to get a life :) Just sayin'
Interesting definition. I recognize that as one of my traits, also one of my dds can be described just that way.
