What is 8 With A?
We've been playing a rapid fire questions game in the chat room as a way to get to know people better. It started organically as "7 Questions with Alexandra" because we were all just messing around and having fun. But, people seem to like it and now I'm getting requests to do more of these. So, like the best sort of happy accidents, where one just sort of stumbles onto an idea, I present to you "8 With A" - short for (obviously) 8 Questions with Alexandra. Seven has become eight since typically there's an answer or two someone gives that needs some unpacking. So it grows, unlike all of the locked, tiny boys here (haha!).
Before anyone sits on the hot seat, they have to read a disclaimer and consent to my silly, probing questions. Below is a sample disclaimer:
You are about to be asked 8 questions. Please answer honestly and quickly, since this is a chat room and no one wants to wait three minutes for a long-winded explanation. Some of these questions could be considered blunt, so you will need thick skin to play. Do you agree to hold harmless the "asker" (me) and consent to being asked these provocative and entertaining questions so we may all learn more about you?
When our "hot seat" participant consents, we begin.
Check back here as this thread begins to populate and you'll get the idea. We've played 5 or 6 times, but I only had the thought to screenshot the discussion for the last 2 we did. So I'll be posting those soon.
Thanks for reading.
