So I was creating an account somewhere today and generally it asks for a secret question and answer and asks for your mother’s maiden name or your “hometown” and those I can answer easily. This site has questions that I don’t have an answer for.<\/p>\n

\"Sadness\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I don’t have a favorite museum. If you asked me that whole desert island question and having one album with me, I couldn’t answer you. I have nearly 20 thousand songs in iTunes and always listen to music on Shuffle.<\/li>\n
  2. I never had a favorite teacher. I think I did in 3rd grade but can’t remember their name. My teachers in high school didn’t inspire me.<\/li>\n
  3. I never had a “best friend”. Sad right? I never missed it but I never had a best friend so picking one name that I’ll remember is impossible.<\/li>\n
  4. I don’t know what hospital I was born in. It’s on my birth certificate but mom lost that so I don’t know where I was born.<\/li>\n
  5. I have 5 frequent flyer numbers and remembering which one I put here is impossible.<\/li>\n
  6. My family and I moved (on average) every 2 years since I was 3 years old. I can’t remember any of my streets.<\/li>\n
  7. I don’t have a favorite book and stopped reading books as soon as they weren’t required reading which I think was 9th grade.<\/li>\n
  8. I don’t have a favorite author. I don’t know any authors in particular except for Mark Twain but that’s just cause he’s popular.<\/li>\n
  9. I spent my childhood summers wherever I lived at that time. I went to space camp one year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thanks Yahoo Network for reminding me that I was too busy as a child to make friends, read books, find a favorite artist and never lived anywhere long enough to have a “street I grew up on.” Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So I was creating an account somewhere today and generally it asks for a secret question and answer…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-rants","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-f","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":198,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2009\/04\/07\/no-more-comments-on-this-blog\/","url_meta":{"origin":15,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 No More Comments on This Blog","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 7, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Today I saw this blog post via DaringFireball.
