Enough about me

[gwyn]

Interviews seem to be going around on my friends list, at least with the Buffy folks. No idea how it got started or where, and i wonder about it... would I want to be interviewed? Of course, that begs the question: if you offered yourself up for one, then what if no one wanted to interview you? People may not know you well enough or care... so then you can get major egg all over your face. It could be fraught with danger, I tell you! It seems participatory, which I'm trying to do instead of being distanced with just the reviews and essays, yet... too personal gets at things I object to in journalling because I'm weirdly private about a lot of things. Private in a psycho way, I mean. And are people only doing it to their real friends? I don't know that I'm at that level of friendship... dear god, it's a minefield! And do the people I want to interview, the ones who haven't been yet, want to be interviewed themselves? It's so complicated, I think I'll go to bed instead.

A bunch of my friends were doing this a month or so ago, and I found myself thinking, Well, if they asked me, how honest would I want to be in such a public place? And if I were not going to be honest, could I be clever enough to carry it off? What if they didn't ask? What if they asked, but didn't ask the right questions? So I just sort of read other people's interviews and skived off.

Honestly and cleverness - yeah. BIG issues. But hon, you're always clever, especially online. Your responses to things would be fun to read, and you've led such a fascinating life!
