I don't eat meat. When I did, the answer was definitively "hamburgers." I hated hot dogs worse than any other food in existence. I found their taste incredibly vile and revolting and could not get one down on those few occasions when I was forced to try to eat one. This was a purely sensory issue, not a psychological one. The taste itself triggered a physically uncontrollable reaction in me.

It bothers me to do so. I associate the presence of something in my inbox with a feeling of pressure and obligation to respond to it. This applies to email and other similar services, not just Formspring.

I also find that it's much more difficult to respond to something if I don't do so immediately upon receiving it, because I go from having a natural reactive impulse to go with and build off of, to just having a bunch of analysis and thoughts about it in different directions, without the clear sense of direction that my immediate reaction provides.

I tend to only keep something in an inbox if I regard it as important and really intend to get back to it at some point in the near future. Otherwise, my general approach woud be to delete it, or store it away in a different folder, if that's an option, which it isn't with Formspring.

Oddly, despite all this, I do have a couple of questions besides this one sitting in my Formspring inbox. I found them interesting but didn't have an immediate answer, and I wasn't sure how much I'd be using Formspring going forward, because most of my online focus has switched to Facebook and Twitter, lately.

But your question did an excellent job of calling my attention back in a way that's giving me some new ideas about how to better integrate Formspring with the rest of my online activity, and I find these new ideas shiny and fun to play with at the moment. So thank you very much. :)

No thank you, but I appreciate you calling my attention back to Formspring. Apparently something weird happened with my stream where I was logged out but Formspring didn't tell me I was logged out, so I wasn't getting any new content for several days but it looked like Formspring had just been quiet. I have a lot to catch up on now!

Introverted. Now go away. ;)

I used to be absolutely fascinated with mirrors, visually, when I was younger. I would play with them for hours. It was about the visual phenomenon, not about the particular image that was reflected in it. These days I am quite mirror-neutral.

Enjoying what you have right now, rather than conditioning happiness on something happening in the future.

Hm. Cross-referencing this answer with my answer about what makes me happiest suggests that I should focus on being grateful for those who accept, see and appreciate me now, rather than striving so hard for greater acceptance, visibility, and appreciation. Thanks, stock Formspring questions. This is a useful exercise.

Every rule has exceptions... including this one.

I'm from Davis, California. So, yes.

Peanut Butter 'n Chocolate.

Physics.

A lot. Sometimes a lot more than I'd like them to.

October.

It would be neat to go into space one day. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. These days, I doubt I'd qualify to work in space.

The egg.

A dolphin, perhaps? They seem so joyful and free.

Possibly. I wouldn't rule it out. I wouldn't be likely to get a large one though.

Feeling accepted, seen, and appreciated.

Oddly enunciated, sometimes. People sometimes think my sneezes are fake because I often actually say "achoo" when I sneeze, if it's not an overpowering one. But that's just how I sneeze.

I sleep on a twin-sized mattress that rests directly on the floor of my studio apartment.

I do plenty of fairly crazy things all the time. I won't be going to my deathbed wishing I had done more crazy things. I'm good there.
