A quick poll. It occurred to me that not everyone wants to read that sort of thing, and that I could always make an opt-in filter for it, so that it wouldn't clutter up peoples friends' pages. Of course, people might not care, either, and it's been a really long time since I made an LJ poll. So, indulge me. ;)


[Poll #1963887]

Okay, inquiring minds want to know. Inspired by a post by bodhifox, I have been thinking about what my role is in life, what my "title" would be. I can't think of one for myself. I am not Writer or Artist or Engineer or Mother or anything like that. I've never asked anyone else who or what they think I am (I think I'm a little afraid of what they might answer).

What about y'all?

[Poll #1474904]

Okay, I've narrowed my choices of which showing of Cobra: The Musical III I want to go to. Who wants to join me? If you're coming, pick which date you'd rather go on. The first is Sunday, the second is Tuesday. Tickets are $11.

For those of you who can't come with me on those dates, there are plenty of other showtimes, all listed here.

I'm starting to make a habit of these. Weird.

Anyway, I'm just curious about what makes people think "classic" when we start talking books. So, without further ado, what is the FIRST book that springs to mind when someone says "classic?"

Have at it!

Okay,I haven't posted a random poll in a while, and I'm contemplating making more coffee, so here you go!


[Poll #1296581]

Hello again, all!

I promise, after today's spam, I shall try to limit myself to one or maybe two posts a day about Shave To Save.

It has been suggested that I provide extra incentives to my darling friends in order to encourage you to sponsor me. I am all on board with this. So here's a poll to see what your preferences are. For the record, I am willing to do any and all of the following, but I'm curious about your answers. Also, I'd like to hear other suggestions.

The details will be worked out in comments and/or later posts. :)

Have at it!


[Poll #1265047]

I like polls, so I give you another one. It seems to me that my flist comprises a bunch of very talented people, and as such I was curious about the "unsung" skills that are currently enjoying a newfound popularity. All the skills our great-grandmothers and grandmothers took for granted, but which many of our own mothers never learned for various reasons and thus never passed on to us.

So, what do you do?

[Poll #1054891]

Okay, so I have decided that April shall be the month in which I take myself in hand. Enough of this silly wallowing in wintry woes (ooh, an alliteration!). It's spring, the sun is out, the days are warm but not horribly hot, and it's high time I turned things around.

I am declaring April "Micromanagement Month." There's a reason for that name, but I won't get into it in great detail right now. What I will say is that there are several aspects of my life that I want to improve and/or change, and I've let myself slide into apathy. So I'm going to micromanage my life throughout April. That's 30 days in which I will cut myself little or no slack, document everything, and see what happens.

It's an experiment, see? On a really small scale, with no control group.

The idea is also to keep myself honest about this. So I am committing myself to posting at least once a day to LJ on this topic. However, it's not going to be fun reading. There will be lists, and numbers, and all sorts of stuff that is interesting for no one except me and those few who for whatever reason are interested in the minutiae of my everyday life.

I'm going to be talking about health, weight, housecleaning, creative writing, and possibly interior decoration, as well as finances and, well, boring stuff like that. Possibly in excruciating detail.

Thus, I'm going to put those posts into an opt-in filter. I will NOT be offended if you don't want to read it. If you're interested in helping to keep me honest, then by all means come aboard. There is no pressure, however. It's not likely to contain any sort of brilliant analysis, or anything remotely like that.

I've made a poll to aid in this matter. All future posts on this topic will be in the filter.

[Poll #956767]

So I mentioned in my last post that I might be making a filter in which I would go into painfully boring detail about my upcoming Campaign For Physical Fitness. If I do end up making this filter (it's all highly theoretical at this point), would you like to be included? I will not at all be offended/hurt/angry if you don't want to read that kind of stuff. Weight and fitness are iffy subjects at best, and are triggery for some people. Hence, y'know, the filter. :)

So:

Oh, and GIP! Sort of...
