Tuesday night, this is what I wrote in my notebook, word for word, paragraph by paragraph, except for something in brackets. I'd purposely left some things out when I had to draw from memory yesterday in order to just give a preview.
[start]
I learned a lesson on Fur Affinity today.
I don't know what it is, but I have some clues.
On Wednesday [Sept. 26], I came up with the idea for a questionnaire that could've provided some degree of entertainment. On Thursday, I continued to ponder the questionnaire. On Friday, I wrote an embryonic list of questions. On Saturday, I reported on dA that I had come up with that list. On Sunday and Monday, I continued thinking about it. On Tuesday, I refined the list and wrote out a list of eight to send private messages. When I got to the computer, I typed the questionnaite. Not long after, I sent separate messages to all eight. I felt like I was going to regret it. I felt like I was harassing the recipients. I'd even thought about how some wouldn't answer. Hours later, I got a reply that I could only answer with "Nevermind" like someone on the phone with a stranger or a dial-tone. I've thought about it, and it made clear that I'd gone overboard, that I was out of my league, that I hadn't given thinking my questionnaire through enough time, and that this was pointless. Here I was, just some other guy, asking individuals with experience in the community questions about their characters, while I had no solid fursona and had only been speaking in the community for a year and change. I don't want to seem stupid, overconfident, or bothersome. If I do, I'm sorry. On the off chance that someone actually does answer my questions, and I'm not asking anyone to do so, even though I just had the questionnaire and no real introduction or conclusion, I thank you for your time.
But I know that I've got to start small. That's what the "fetish" in my questionnaire is all about.
[end]
Well, yesterday, I saw that one of these guys answered my questions. They're interesting answers, and it's good to see this handled with one's own perspective and methods. That's the purpose of questionnaires. They might be brought down as memes, but in this case, I'm not using "tagging," so it's more voluntary than "tagging."
The one who answered is one of my inspirations for the questions, so I knew some of the answers already, but I liked seeing the way they were answered. If any of the other eight on the list respond, it should be interesting to see theirs.
Anyhow, school's OK, even though gym is still tough, and I realize I have several assignments.
