As put succinctly in American Beauty by Lester Burnham, when asked how he was, "No one's asked me that in a long time". Or something like that...
People don't see to each other's wellbeing enough, so I am taking this oppurtunity to ask every how they they are doing. How's life? New year kicking off to a good start? Girlfriend still being an annoying nob?
Anything- just tell me how you are doing, hope you're well! X

this bit of lyrics sums up how I am:
Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all

next time, ask "Why are you?". it somehow seems more appropriate.

But most of the time people don't really mean it.
I mean saying it and actually caring about the response is a rare thing.

Not bad, thanks. :) I need a job desperately though.
Are you not worried about having quit your job in a time of such economic crisis?

when others use it as a canned greeting expecting a canned, superficial answer, its best to give an inappropriately detailed recap of all the problems you've been dealing with lately, and then ask for money.

i used to be anti the "how are you" greeting. i still am actually because you always get the default answer which is pointless.
but of late i ask it automatically whenever i first see/speak to someone, i can't help it, must be something to do with getting old.
sometimes i go for a change with "whats going down", but the answer isn't really any different. even if something interesting is "going down" the answer which generally be "not much".
if it were a genuine question expecting an actual answer i would probably phrase it in a less generic & more specific manner.
and to answer your original question, moderately adequate, thanks for asking.
also there's not much going down atm. well actually, prodigy concert next week, w00t. but i must still preface with "not much" before giving an actual answer... oh wait you didn't ask that. kthxbi
