LOL this is awesome.
Do you often feel that random people ask you a lot of questions?
Yes-- part and parcel of living as one of the few non-Japanese people in a small Japanese city-- but thankfully my tolerance for questioning is endless. I go to school all day and listen to the same litany of questions ("What is your favorite Japanese food?" "What is your impression of Japan?" "Where have you traveled in Japan?" "Where do you want to travel in Japan?" "Who is your favorite Japanese singer?" "Do you like Michael Jackson?" "Have you ever met Obama?"), get asked randomly where I'm from/how long I've been in Japan/how I learned Japanese by people in public places, and still come home and look forward to the Writer's Block.
Has anyone ever tried to ask you a lot of questions all at once?
Certainly, and now would be one instance.
When people ask you a lot of questions all at once, do you ignore some of the questions?
No, that gets rid of some of the fun!
In those cases where someone asks you a load of questions, do you consider all the questions as one question, or maybe think of them as individual questions?
Individual, obviously ^_^
After a lot of questions, if someone asks you to explain your answer, does that count as another question?
Not really, because I usually explain my answer in the answer to the initial question, which on surveys leads to an awful lot of "I just answered that; look above" responses.
Explain your answer.
I just answered that; look above.
Edit (5:13 pm): And OH MY GOD I JUST HAD A CHOCOLATEGASM. I just tried Lotte's Ghana Black Extra Cacao, and DAMN that is a fine dark-but-not-that-dark chocolate bar. Wow. I'm one of those types that can't make up her mind between milk and dark chocolates (I tend to view them as two separate entities and when I'm in the mood for one, the other won't do), so maybe the stars just aligned between my specific cravings and the cacao content of that bar-- but they did something right. Damn.
