Poll and Miscellany

[thefourthvine]

Three things, almost entirely content free. (But one of them is a poll! There will be clicking, and that's always fun, right?)

I swear I will have actual content in this LJ again. Eventually. In the meantime -

1. Remember the poll? Um, this one? Thanks to everyone who took it, by the way, and I am slowly working my way through the comments, because they are meaty and thought-filled and fun. And I'm knee-deep in meta about it, but it's taken a strange turn. So I'm hoping that some of you will do my a favor, and run a poll like this one:
   
   [Poll #831564]
   
   Basically, I want you to ask your friends what archetype they think you are. (I've alphabetized the archetypes to make finding them easier.) And while you're here, please do pick mine; I'm truly curious to see if there's a difference between how I see myself and how others see me. (In this sense only. I'm not crazy.)
   
   Sadly, I don't have bribes to offer. But if you do run a poll like this, and you also drop me a link in the comments here, I will be forever grateful. And you will be furthering the cause of meta. (I know, I know, it's not precisely ever fan's dream, but - stay with me, here, okay?)
   
   
2. This is driving me insane, so - okay. I collect what I call genderswapped songs. Although, really, I should call them ungenderswapped songs - the song is covered by a singer of a different sex than the original one, but no gendered element of the song is changed. I have one song by Cam Clarke, from Inside Out, which is a whole CD of songs just like this. (The one I have is Son of a Preacher Man.) And I cannot find the whole CD anywhere. Does anyone have a copy of this? Or know where I can get a copy of this? I am experiencing the anguish of the thwarted collector, and it is not pretty.
   
   
3. This is more of a bonus item; I found it interesting. If any of you watch AMVs - and if you don't, why not? - you might want to take a look at this AMV-related survey.

I ran across the fan archetypes poll in malnpudl's journal and thought it was cool, so I decided to run it in mine. The entry is here: http://crimsonquills.livejournal.com/396830.html

Good luck with the meta!

Thank you! (Also, wow. malnpudl is the best pimp ever. I should give her a cookie or something. An imaginary cookie, maybe.)

Did you take the poll here (http://thefourthvine.livejournal.com/62469.html)? Because I'll be using that for comparison purposes, so if you didn't and you decide to now, you too will be in line for an imaginary cookie. (Another one, since obviously you'd get one for doing the poll, too.)

You've probably already gotten my rambling explanatory comment on the other poll, but I just wanted to comment here, too, just in case, to let you know that I went and took it.

And wasn't that just a horrible sentence? *g*
