Survey Says...

Anyone getting that online survey from friends? Instead of filling in information about yourself (what color crayon would you be? What's your favorite food? Bleh!) you fill in information that you know about the sender. You also forward it to all your friends and see how much they know about you! Kind of fun and the answers have been funny to read. For example, apparently if I were stranded on a desert island, I would definitely bring FOOD, pineapple salad (which is a euphemism for something else, don't ask me what!) and according to Fitfreak "Crappy food and a shitload of Mike's Hard Limes".

Apparently my eyes are green, blue and greenish blue. No one got my middle name even though it's IN MY E-MAIL ADDRESS! (No, not staink... it's Asta) Words that come to mind when people hear my name are Fun, Curly (??!?) Great Laughs and my favorite, Funny as Hell (Thanks Fitfreak, that almost makes up for the crappy food remark!)

I definitely prefer this type of email because rather than getting unsolicited information about your friends according to THEM (I would be a purple crayon, I would be a lion, blah blah blah) you get solicited information about YOU according to THEM.

The only downside to this is the instructions. On the surface, they are pretty basic:

1) On receiving this survey, you are supposed to forward it to everyone you know, including the person who sent it to you (thereby inviting them to participate in the love/hatefest)

2) Hit Reply ONLY to the person who sent it to you so you can show them how much you know about them.

UNFORTUNATELY, there seem to be computer illiterate people who don't know the difference between Reply and Reply All. I'm getting multiple emails from complete strangers asking me for information about them (sorry, don't know you from a hole in the wall) , and giving me information about our mutual friend who sent this survey to me in the first place. (Sorry, don't give a shit that you met my friend at Star Land/the ball field/school, or ANYWHERE! If you met them during sex re-assignment surgery, then I might care!)

If there was ever a need for BLIND CARBON, this is it!
