Copywriting Maven – Didn’t She Used to Blog or Something?
By Roberta Rosenberg on May 11, 2009 in Occasional Rantings
Nearly every day for the past month or so I made a plan to blog.
Great ideas jotted down everywhere on little bits of paper or printed out in big piles around my desk. Then work would rear its hungry little head and I’d have to obey. (It’s a recession out there, remember?)
I don’t know how my colleagues manage to tweet, blog, read other people’s blogs and respond to other people’s tweets every day and still work. Lately, I’ve been at my desk by 530am and close up shop by 10pm. With kid, meal and hubby breaks thrown in.
It’s relentless. But for the moment, while I’m waiting for another late-night multi-tasker to make some revisions to site pages she’s working on, I thought we should get reacquainted.
No
2. Do you close your eyes on roller coaster?
Yes … and pray.
3. When’s the last time you’ve been sledding?
Years ago when my kids were very small.
Generally yes, but it depends on the company and the kind of sleeper they are.
5. Do you believe in ghosts?
Yep.
Extremely. Ask anyone.
7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife?
Duh.
8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?
AJ but without the tats.
9. Can you honestly say you know ANYTHING about politics?
Yes. I’m a wonk and think the Prez election is better than the Oscars.
10. Do you know how to play poker?
Yes, but I’m not very good at it.
11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
Yes. Many times. Don’t think I could do it now, though.
12. What’s your favorite commercial?
I have several. But ones I enjoy may not be effective commercials. (Always with the work-head, see?)
13. Who was your first love?
High school boyfriend, Mark. He looked like David Duchovny.
14. If you’re driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around you, do you run a red light?
No.
15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?
Of course.
16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?
Yankees. There is NO other team, period.
Yes, just once. I never fell once.
18. How often do you remember your dreams?
Very often. They’re usually populated with celebs. Howard Stern is my totem for Long Island.
19. What’s the one thing on your mind?
Keeping current clients satisfied, finding new clients to satisfy.
20. Do you always wear your seat belt?
Yes.
21. What talent do you wish you had?
Better head for higher mathematics.
22. Do you like Sushi?
Ugh. Food should be dead and cooked.
23. What do you wear to bed?
Nada.
24. Do you truly hate anyone?
Yes, but usually the hate devolves into pity.
25. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be?
George Clooney. (David Duchovney used to be my first answer until I discovered he was a perv.)
26. Do you know anyone in jail?
I don’t think so. (Tho I do know at least one person who was in jail, prison actually.)
27. What food do you find disgusting?
Brains.
28. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back?
::ashamed:: probably.
29. Have you ever been punched in the face?
No!
30. Do you believe in angels and demons?
I’d like to believe in the former, prefer not to believe the latter.

If you’re busy with work, that is a good thing. Although I succumb to Twittering often, I too am amazed at people who seem to read everything and correspond to everyone.
I agree with you on 22. I tried to like it because I once thought it was a sign of sophistication…but I can be a sophisticated lady and leave the sushi alone.

@Jada – thanks for being a pal. Sushi? It’s what the cat eats.

Welcome back to the blogoshpere Maven! I have to second Jada on the twitter thing. But if there were no blog posts I would never have nothing to twit about. Funny how that works…

Glad to see you back, Maven!
Didn’t you use to blog or something?
Bill Perry’s last blog post..My focus for 2009

I’m beginning to think the real reason social media were invented was to create a whole raft of new channels through which we can feel guilty about not doing more.
I’m with you – too busy to sleep, much less tweet.

I’m surprised how many of your answers match my own! However, being from Florida I’ve never sledded or iceskated (roller, yes) and I’m not a baseball fan (football).
It’s great to hear from you again!

Entertaining and insightful as usual. Glad to hear the Yankees part.

I’m trying my best to keep a presence in all the relevant social media until I decide to blow this popstand and go to law school or get a masters degree in something completely non-marketing related. Why? Just for the sheer fun of it.

Great list and entertaining to say the least…

Nice to know someone is being entertained. After being paid on time, it’s the next best thing
