I found some more conversation starters, this time via apartmentguide.com . Here are the questions and answers. Question # 1 - Would you rather travel into the past to meet your ancestors, or travel into the future to meet your grandchildren? Answer # 1 - I would rather go into the future to meet my grandchildren. Question # 2 - Would you rather be considered totally weird and awkward, or average with no unique or special qualities? Answer # 2 - I'd rather be totally weird and awkward with uniqueness and special qualities. Question # 3 - If you had to teach a class for a day, what subject would be natural for you? Answer # 3 - Film studies. Question # 4 - If you could change your age, what age would you rather be and why? Answer # 4 - Right now I am only thirty (will be thirty-one in a few weeks). I suppose if I had to change my age it would be somewhere in my early twenties. I've been told that I have barely aged within that timeframe (I guess I have good genes

For some reason I've never really been a fan of Bill Maher. I've never been exactly sure why; occasionally I agreed with an opinion of his. I have seen him do interviews with other people, although it's the people that he interviewed that interested me, not the man himself. But today I think I finally realized why I'm not really a fan of his. Bill Maher is an asshole. As I'm sure you all know by now, beloved comic book creator Stan Lee has died .

I can't believe that it's already November. October just seemed to fly by. Anyway, for my first November blog article I decided to do more conversation starters. I found another website with questions. Here are a few. Question #1: Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist? Answer #1: I think of myself ultimately as more of an optimist. I think I have moments of pessimism, or at least moments of disgust, and I can have moments of being a realist. Question #2: What do you wish your brain was better at doing? Answer #2: I wish I was better at learning another language. It's something I've tried multiple times but it's something I haven't been able to wrap my brain around (although I think I'm more than above average in my native language of English). Question #3: What's something you do the old-fashioned, non-tech way? Answer #3: Most of my reading is still done with paper books rather than electronically, at least when I'm
