I want to give credit to Prosebox user "idontknowwhattocallmyself" for posting these following three questions as part of a "Question Of The Day" entry.
I opted to create a separate entry of my own, rather than post my responses in the comment section of the original entry.
Here we go.
1. If you can go back in time where you are back in high school, what would you do differently as a student there?
I would actually hate to return to my high school years, because I absolutely hated the experience. I can't tell you how many classes I was in, where nearly everyone in those classes would whine, bitch, and moan whenever they got a test back and discovered that they managed to NOT get an "A" on said test. For the next several minutes, nearly half the class would try to plead their case and beg the teacher to raise their grade, for whatever their reasons. Tests that featured essay questions were the fucking worst because everyone complained to high hell that they really deserved a higher grade than the one they received. I figure that if they were thinking it, they should have written it on their test as part of their response. I was never going to reduce myself to that level, to complain to and plead for a teacher to raise my grade. I got what I earned. If I did poorly on a test, I just worked harder the next time. Fuck begging for a higher grade.
Now, if we were talking about returning to those four years of college, then yes, I would go back in a heartbeat. No question. But high school? Not a chance.
2. If you can go back to the 70's and 80's, would you stay there and if not why?
I wouldn't mind returning to any decade prior to the 2020's actually. Life made so much more sense back then, especially during the 1980's, and people weren't as soft and sensitive as they are now. 80's TV was great. The music then was awesome (and remains so today). I kind of miss life without cell phones and the internet. I could go on and on and don't get me started on on Saturday morning cartoons and breakfast cereal.
3. Who’s your favorite diarist to read on Prosebox on a regular basis?
I don't really have any diarists on this site that I read religiously. I don't really have any favorites. If you appear on the front page of this site, then there's a good chance I might give you a read. Sometimes, I'll even chime in and comment on an entry here and there. Beyond that, I don't really care.
