robot talk?

argh he cornered me into answering a very personal question

i wonder if i really had to answer it? could i have politely declined and said, i would rather not?

i could have. did i censor myself? perhaps it was because he reassured that there exists trust between us (no fcking kidding, he holds a copy of my passport and the info from one of my credit cards) and he also reminded me that lying is unacceptable. first i asked him why he wanted to know. then he told me to stop avoiding the question and just answer. that it would not change his impression of me whether the answer were 0, 4, or 8.

have not spoken with him since then.

of course i did, before answering, remind him of the circumstances, things that i DO NOT believe in, so as to not leave him dumbfounded.

this has me a bit worried. one, did i answer because i was trying to please? two, has his view of me, in fact, changed?

he has five days and then i´m cancelling my credit card.

What? I hope this is a travel agent talking about how many times you've been to Argentina and not what I think....

don't worry, according to an article that i read in the chicago tribune magazine the average is 12 in this country so i'm below the average.
