Getting to know me.
Getting to know me. Getting to know all about me
I am making this first post mainly as a test of the system. It should also serve, in the future, as FAQ list.
Question 1) What is your name?
Andrew Cory
Question 2) What is your quest?
I won't even dignify that with a response
Question 3) Does it ever annoy you that Microsoft doesn't recognize your last name as being a "real" name and puts that hazy red line under it?
That seems a bit odd for a person to ask, but it isn't too personal, so: Yep sure does annoy me. But what are you gonna do?
Question 4) Why should I bother reading this blog?
Well, hopefully I have something interesting to say. If I don't, well you can cheerfully look elsewhere for good info.
Question 5) What is your background?
I am in my mid twenties, (only fifteen more years of "childhood" as our President would have it!) and am attending a "midsized" community college in the outer reaches of the San Francisco Bay area. When I started coming here, it was a "small" community college, but it has grown by something like 2-3 thousand students in the mean time. Let's hear it for a depressed economy!
Question 6) So, what are you studying?
Political Science. Hopefully I will get to law school some day. Because America needs another lawyer
Question 7) Anything else?
Well, I was part of my school's Student Government for a while so I have a bit of experience being part of an administrative organization. I am currently a writer for the school newspaper and a member of the forensics team. I have a part time job at a bookstore. As you might imagine I haven't had a date all week
Question 9) What's up with all the ellipsis?
Just the way I write. It is something of an homage to Herb Cane. He used to use a paragraph break followed by * * * and then a paragraph break at the end of his snippets of thought to denote that he was moving to a new though. I've always been a city boy
Question the 10th) What happened to Question 8?
I decided that it was too good a question, and I should hold it for the end. The ancient Greeks did this with words, so I feel justified
Question 11) And your thoughts on the current Ms America?
Did I mention that Harvard is the law school I wan to go to? Not just so that I could theoretically run into Ms. America, but for the education. I mean, I do need to learn how to hit on women like her, right?
Question12) Is this the tone you intend to take with your blog?
Not sure yet. We shall see
Question 8) If you had just one thing to say to all those undecided voters in your district, the one message that you think they need to hear so they will vote for you, what would it be?
No, no, that's my question to someone else, and I'll be posting that interview when I get it written up, probably sometime next week.
Question 13) I thought you were ending with Question 8?
Right, well, cheating gets me better odds
Question 14) And that wasn't a very good question!
Neither was question 14. Hell, 14 wasn't even a question
