Friday 5 for September 25: Getting to Know You
Salutations, and welcome to this week’s Friday 5! Please copy these five questions to your webspace. Answer the questions there, then leave a comment below (this means you, Rod at the Honolulu Advertiser! Show a fellow Honoluluan some love!) telling us where we can check out your responses. Please don’t forget to link us from your website!
Background story: Some friends and I were talking one night about smalltalk and how what most of us want is to get past it and to find out what people really care about. We figured that if you could come up with the kinds of questions that don’t violate social conventions (taboo subjects, for example, or questions that are too personal) but give you an idea of what really matters to the other person, you could jump past smalltalk and get right to the good stuff. Here are five that we thought might work! One of the questions is very similar to a question posted in October three years ago, but that’s okay!
- What are the titles of the last three books you read all of?
- What are the titles of between three and five magazines you subscribe to or used to subscribe to?
- What’s on your night table? (we figured this one was borderline, since it involves the bedroom, but if the vibe is right and you preface the question with the background story I told above, you could make it work)
- What are the three best things that happened to you in the past seven days?
- What was your senior yearbook quote, and what would your yearbook quote be this year if there were such a thing?
Thanks for participating, and have a meaningful weekend!
I’m up. As usual, these were fun!
Yes, I failed math five times, way to rub it in comment verification form.
Great questions, hope you have an awesome weekend.
