Klosterman's 23 Questions - Question 13

13. Every person you have ever slept with is invited to a banquet where you are the guest of honor. No one will be in attendance except you, the collection of your former lovers, and the catering service. After the meal, you are asked to give a fifteen-minute speech to the assembly.

What do you talk about?

15 minutes is not a lot of time in most circumstances, but I can guess that it'd seem like an eternity in this situation. I dunno, if I was going to attend something like this, I'd probably go all out, do a chronological slideshow about where I saw myself at the time, and then apologise for whatever stupid thing I did to hurt/sabotage/derail the relationship without having been man enough to say "I'm out, here's why..."

I've also debated on asking for each person to bring any photos that they might have of me on vacations, etc... with the aforementioned exes, as I was never really much of a photo taker back then and, looking back, would really love to have pictures of stuff like that.

I'd be getting a guest-list right? Do I have any say in the seating arrangements? I think it'd be fun to separate the room into three sides, and designate seating arrangements on something like "Still hate his guts", "I'd be friends with him if he asked", and "You'll have to be more specific, Alex-who?" just to see where everyone sits.

I was trying real hard to think of something to talk about, but I came up empty. I would be interested in hearing about what they've been up to since we last spoke, and if they wanted to know what I've been up to, sure, I'd let them know. Otherwise, time moves on, and so do I.

By the way, I am staying away from this one.
