OK…I’ve cleared the room except for the 16 of you…you favorites of mine.  Make yourselves comfortable.  As I survey the demographics of the group, I’ve discovered that there are 8 boys and 8 girls so if you want to sit boy-girl-boy-girl you can.  If not, do it anyway.  This is my party and I want you to sit boy-girl-boy-girl.  I assume you brought your own drinks and snacks.  If any of you brought Baked Ruffles, I’d like to share a few with you and if you brought dip, I’ll crown you my favorite for the day.  If you’d like to leave, just say so, and we’ll wait until you’re gone and then we’ll talk about you.  Nobody wants out?  Cool. So, let’s get down to why I brought you all here today…other than to bribe you into bringing me chips and dip.  I expect full participation so please, humor me.   In my eternal quest to improve myself, I wondered if you wouldn’t mind answering the following questions. 

What is it you’ve secretly (or not so secretly) wanted to know about me?  I know there must be something you’ve wanted to know.  Full discloure here, my friends…full disclosure…well, except for bank account numbers, social security number, address, and the like.  Ask as many questions as you’d like.  I’ve got all day.    

What do you think is my biggest positive?  Please don’t say Diana (I already know that).

What do you think is my biggest flaw?  How do you think I should go about improving it?  I know I have flaws and I’m pretty sure I’ve got a good handle on them.  Please make sure I didn’t miss any, OK?

Am I one of your favorites?  If so, what brought you here today?  You’re one of mine and if you want to know why, I’ll write an entire entry in your honor.  I’m a busy man and don’t have time to write 16 entries so you have to answer this question to get the entry. 

Now that you are here, do you want to leave?  Please don’t say yes, just answer the questions, you slackabed.

If you want to go to your own private area of the room to think over your answers, feel free.  I’d love to get some response.  Thanks for your assistance in helping me address one those pesky new year’s resolutions.
