The Second Annual Ask Matt Random Questions Event

So, I haven’t really allowed enough time for many questions to come in since I only posted the entry announcing this event late last night, however, I need to procrastinate on doing my Economics homework now and writing a diary entry turns out to be a good excuse. You may still participate in the “Ask Matt Random Questions Event” by asking a random question in a note below. And now to the random questions asked so far:

Why are you a virgin? (By that, I mean is there a specific reason you are or what?)

Funny, I think this same question was asked last year and my answer now is the same as then: I’ve yet to come across a person who I am willing to have sex with who is also willing to have sex with me. That’s about as specific of a reason as I have. I guess a natural follow-up to that would be “But, why haven’t you found such a girl?” And, honestly, I don’t know, I suppose I’m picky when it comes to such things. Sometimes I get the urge to go ahead and get it over with with a relatively random girl (and doing so long ago became the logical thing to do), but I don’t do that, because I have stupid romantic ideals that I can’t suppress. Also, being both a virgin and pretty generally inexperienced in physical matters, I think I’d want to be relatively comfortable with a girl before going at it with her, seeing as it’s unlikely I would have much idea what the heck I am doing.

That question was from Andrea. Moving along, a private noter says:

actually, the masturbation question isn’t so bad . . . how often *do* you?

Right, I’m the one who put this idea in your head, so I can’t complain. And, honestly, I’d say it averages to about once a day, though it might be something I do 4 times one day and then skip for a week. At least that’s how it used to be – I’ve been getting a bit more routine in doing it, which is probably amusing. I usually do it at night. It helps me sleep better.

And then Yours for Now wonders about a couple of questions:

Matt, on a scale of one to ten, one being least lame thing ever and ten being most lame thing ever…how lame is your lack of things to discuss for MaJoMo when it’s only the thirteenth? (Hint: you can answer higher than ten.)

I’m not sure this passes the “reasonable” test mentioned yesterday as, if I’m using a scale of 1-10, I think it is mathematically impossible for my answer to be higher than 10. However, as for the spirit of the question, I agree, it’s pretty bloody lame. I’ve even thought of resorting to surveys and such to help me finish the month out, but then that sorta defeats the purpose of MaJoMo anyway, which is to actually record my life events daily. The problem is that I don’t really have that many life events daily, or at least ones worth recording. An added problem is that I can’t write about how I’m talking to this really interesting diarist, Yours for Now, on AIM now because she reads my diary and would get egotistical about it. So, it’s a dilemma. And it is lame. I’d give it an 8.57 on the lameness scale.

Why aren’t you on AIM???!

I’m not on AIM because I’m on UGA campus and I’m supposed to be doing Economics homework. I usually forbid myself from getting on any messenger services while I am on campus so that I get work done, however, I allow myself to get on Open Diary and write diary entries. I’m not sure of the logic in this either, but there you have it.

And that is all the questions for now. More to come tomorrow, should there be any other questions.
