Questions Post #5
It's that time again...TOOL TI--. . .yeah. That.
From my sister-in-law to you:

How often do you change your bio?
How do you use tags? No, this one's not you personally. I really don't get how to use them or what they're for.
How do you get to your journal—is it in your favorites? Is the link there your “recent entries” page, your user page, or your “my lj” page, or what?
Why do you have yourself friended?
Do you ever have trouble finding the button to click to add someone’s post to your memories?
How often do you check your flist to see if someone’s added you?
Do you feel it’s impolite to have long conversations with someone on someone else’s journal?
Do you get annoyed when someone makes a comment just to correct a grammatical error, or makes a comment that’s only one word, or seems pointless to you?
How do you spell the gerund form of rec and beta?
General fandom
What did they use to put the tattoo on David Boreanaz’s back? Do you think they worried about getting it in the same place every time? And who gets the job of applying it, anyway?
Did David Boreanaz ever have a back double?
How tall is Nicholas Brendon? Okay now, how tall is he for real?
Am I the only slathering B/A fangirl who doesn’t think much of the episode IWRY?
Are there any fics out there about Anne (formerly Lily, formerly Chantarelle)?
Did anyone besides me really love Kate Lockley?
What DVD commentary do you like the best?
What’s J. Augest Richards doing these days? Alexis Denisof?
Joss Whedon
Why do some people hate Joss Whedon?
Whatever happened to the Ripper spin off?
Is there even the remote possibility of a Faith spin-off?
Is there even the remote possibility of the cartoon?
Did Serenity make enough money, or not?
I want someone explain comic books to me. I was really into X-men comics in preteen years, but one of the reasons I kind of dropped it was because I got confused (also, I got too tall to be comfortable sexing up with Wolverine and realized I would never have boobs like Rogue's. When you're 11, you still want boobs like Rogue's, even though you figure out by 12 NO ONE has boobs like Rogue's. Or even wants boobs like Rogue's, because ugh, back pain). There seemed to be so many different series all going on at once; I couldn't keep them straight. I didn't get the difference between Uncanny, Astonishing, and Amazing. Isn't there like . . . a diagram for these things?

I use tags for two reasons. First, I want to easily find a category of stuff, like, say, all of the times I've ranted about something political. Or whatever navel-gazing thing I'm finding worthy of my time. Maybe all the times that I said something schmoopy about my girlfriend. Whatever it is, and I want all those entries to come up so that I can scroll through them and look for something in particular, rather than have to click on a link that takes me to individual entries, as happens with the memories function.
Second, I want other people to be able to find certain entries easily as well, and have it all come up at once. The memories function is limited in terms of how you can define an entry, so sometimes it's better for someone to be able to look at the entries themselves. You might not know that you wanted to read a sugary-schmoopy RPS fic about James Marsters and Vincent Kartheiser, but now that the entry's sitting right in front of you amongst all of my other fics, maybe you'll give it a try.

Except I already know I want to read it. It's been waiting for me.
As for cut-tags; I wish they were addictive, like coffee and boys with red lips and girly eyelashes. Then people would use them more.
As for tag tags--sound useful. I should really try them out.
