I recently came to a conclusion that not only do most people find me boring, I am so boring that even market research groups find me BORING.
Lol. An hour ago, I received a call from a market research suryevor surveying the lifestyles of Singaporeans (or did she say youths? Never mind). And in that survey, I was only posed one question (although I think she would have asked more had I answer her differently).
She asked me "What kind of magazines have you read in the past 6 months?" My response?
"Other than the 8 Days, only the National Geograhic and Newsweek."
Surveyor: "Oh, okay... Thank you. Bye."
Wow, that was absolutely the shortest survey I have even done.
Telemarketers and surveyors should just form their own network of "people to cheat into buying stuff/doing surveys", and on that list, I could fall under the category of "So boring it's not worth your while to even try".
Just because I don't read trashy magazines means I'm not good enough for such surveys, which is probably a good thing 'cause I don't have to spend my time inflating the egos of the useless companies that actually come up with such meaningless things.
In essence, I'm a boring person and I probably intend to stay boring so that I don't get pulled in to do meaningless things like this.
And just to end things on a happier note, I bought Neil Humphrey's latest book, Final Notes from a Great Island. This shouldn't take long to finish. And the 2nd cover of his first book, Notes from an Even Smaller Island, looks waaaaaaay better than the first cover of that same book. Damn.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to read my new book. And did I mention I bought a new wallet? Adding that with how much I spent on the book, I'm a good $45 poorer. Ouch.
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
