Ask me a question about any of the following...

No matter how rude, sexual, or confidential I will answer the questions truthfully. Then post this in your journal and see what questions you get asked.

Oh! I've got one! Why do you get so snarky when it comes to girls?
I guess a more intelligent version of the question would be is there a specific reason/event that led to the Pro-feminism?

My profession is inundated with women. It's probably one of the only areas of employment where women greatly outnumber men. So I meet far more women in the scene and I've seen firsthand just how they can be mistreated, and how some men think they have the right to just say or do whatever the hell they want to them just because they're women. It makes me sick.

Besides, not being a feminist is just being a misogynistic jerkass. I try to avoid that.

So it's because of people you've working with? I get the idea, I just figured it had to have come from somewhere, since most convictions do come from somewhere.

Soooo...where do you see yourself in ten years? Since you're sooo concerned about your age, haha.

What are your favorite pair of stripper fetish boots? XP

Hopefully still relatively attractive. Hopefully not having a midlife crisis. I... don't know. Thinking about this makes me feel anxious. I hate you for this question, by the way.

Tough one. Right now, it's my police patrol boots, but it's probably just because they're so new - the novelty is likely to wear off eventually. Ask me again in a couple weeks.

No midlife crisis! I'm sure you'll look great in ten years!
Wow...I'll be thirty in ten years. O.o Heh, that's sorta weird.

So it's just the new and shiny that appeals to you about the idea? Like that with everything?

What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you at work?

Thanks, I guess. I'd still rather not think about it, though.
Caaan we stop saying 'thirty' now? Thanks.

Not necessarily. But I'd been wanting those for a long time and after I'd finally saved up the cash for them, it's kind of a rush - working hard for something and then getting it.

I have several, but here's the first one I can think of: I had the flu several years ago and decided to go to work anyway - fever, the works. Happened to be wearing leather pants that day, was extremely overheated, so pretty soon into the workday, I fainted. This was the first time I'd ever fainted, too; I just got dizzy with heat exhaustion and kind of slumped over onto the ground. Customer couldn't help me, and it was like a half hour before anyone else noticed. I can't emphasize just how extremely awkward it was when I finally woke up. Fainting on the job is definitely not a way to inspire customer confidence.

Sorry!

Okay, yeah, I get that. That's why I feel so lame around this place so often these days, eh.
Anyway.

That is hilarious! I mean, it probably sucked at the time but seriously, funny. At least you didn't fall over on the customer, probably even less confidence inspiring if you'd done that.

Okay, been wondering this; is Embry really your last name? Or is it just a journal thing? Because if it is, seriously...so porn star.

But you said you work around there, right? You said cooking and cleaning. That's like earning whatever money Hector gives you.

I've tripped and fallen, got elbowed in the face, got groped, burned myself, all sorts of terrible things. You know what they say - it's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

It is my real name. But the question is, would I make an attractive porn star? Since you brought it up, I think you should have to answer me that.

Yeah, cleaning, cooking, whatever; I still do miss my job. But, it's interesting here, no doubt in that.

Ouch, sounds like a really hazardous job; is retail that awful? When I was still at my last job we had a lot of drunk idiots and things like that; nothing the ever got me injured though. But I did worry about being shot a few times, heh.

Really? XD That's awesome. Oh...uhmn...well, I suppose so, yeah. Except you'd be a lot taller than most everyone else, but that might be one of those weird interest things for some people, I dunno. You're very edgy-looking, see, porn star would work for you.

I told you I'd pay you to make me food. If you can make a really good spicy peanut sauce, jar that shit and send it my way. I'll be your first customer.

Wasn't talking about my retail job. The worst I deal with in retail is some verbally bitchy customers. Nothing I can't handle.

...you suppose so? I think I'm hurt. What are you going to do to make it up to me, huh?

But on a serious note, I'd never do porn. Not really a fan of the idea of getting paid for sex, legally or illegally.

Don't think I can mail stuff from the address here. It's okay, you'll just have to wait until the trip. You will be amazed. Haha.

/end private/

Ooooh, there other one. Okay, that one must be really hazardous then.

Oh, well, in that case of course you'd make an amazing porn star! Clearly you would, yes!
But since you don't want to be a porn star then my opinion on the matter clearly isn't important. Haha.

How amazed? Like orgasmic-aphrodisiac-amazed?

/end private/

Can be. It's generally not me getting the brunt of any abuse, though.

And have you even watched much porn before?

Well I don't know about that, but I can try! Haha.

Ah, see, I'm learning things.

And...uh...I'm not five, seriously. Yes, I have watched porn before. Not to some insane excess, no.

I'll let you know how good it is for me.

Want to ask something else?

I didn't mean to suggest that you're five. I was only being nosy.

Man, I'm watching this Nightbreed movie, it's old, and craaazy. I feel like, sorta bad for the ones living under the graveyard though. Ever seen it?

I'm thinking! Slowly.

Okay, so if you didn't work where you do now what would have been your profession of choice if it could have been anything?

asher_embry May 3 2011, 07:25:10 UTC
No. What's it about?

I'm already there. And if I ever have to stop, I don't know what I'm going to do. I have no marketable skills save occasional retail stocking and a degree in acting - as if that will get me anywhere. I'll probably have to move out of Manhattan, too. Even if I worked 80 hours a week at minimum wage - and $7.25 an hour is all I can dream to get based on my lack of experience in anything else - I still wouldn't be able to afford living downtown.

I don't know, it just scares me to think about my job not being there at some point. I can actually afford $700 boots now if I want them. After taxes are taken out of my paycheck, I'd barely make that in a month if I worked minimum wage. I can make $700 for a few hours of work now.

...yes, I know exactly who I sound like. But working like a normal person scares me. The only reason I'm doing retail is so I have something to put on a resume should I ever not be able to do my main job anymore. Thankfully, I can't see that happening anytime soon, unless I lose a leg or ( ... )
