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.

For what it’s worth, I never get the memo either. I’m not sure if there actually are any, beyond word of mouth or text of LJ. But if I’m interested in doing something I’ll just jump on in. Or I’ll backtrack through journals until I find the original post and pick up on the rules. Usually the prior, though, because I have no sense of decency ;-)

I'm never invited unless I invite myself either. Sometimes I'm too lazy to backtrack, and just ask the first person I see about it if I can't figure it out myself. I've been pondering the interview thing all this evening, as Gwyn will infer from my weird comment below.
