Poll: Compare Amongst Yourselves

[livejournal.com profile] makesmewannadie is visiting me, and we got to talking, as we often do. (Okay. Full disclosure: the actual challenge would be making us shut the fuck up.) And one thing we talked about reminded me of a poll I'd considered posting lo these many moons ago, to test a hypothesis that I can't very well tell you beforehand. (Bias is death to informal and statistically skewed LJ polls, my friends.)

So, first, let me just say: hey, it'd be cool if you'd take this poll. I would love you and stuff.

Second - when I say "your friends list," I mean the portion of your friends list that you read regularly - your default reading filter, if you have one, or the whole list if that's how you read. (If you don't read your friends list at all, this poll is not going to be a good fit for you.) My point is, I want you to consider the people you know the best. (Which is not to say you necessarily know them well, of course.) And when I say "the average," I mean your own personally assessed average of this trait over your friends list.

And, seriously, there are no bad answers here. I'm only wondering where you fit into your own mental picture of your friends list for these particular variables. I know you may not have great data for all these questions; just give me your first reaction, and I will of course love you forever.

ETA: Please don't go back to change your answers after you've finished the poll and seen the results! (Unless you think of something you want to add to the text box, or you've decided shoes are more important than almost-cock. Those questions are weighty and take long consideration; I understand that.)

OTP, yay!

I'm really intrigued by these results.

OTP WHEEEE!

Am home now, safely. Almost teared up pulling away from the curb, though. Leaving is the worst part of visiting, woe.

Awww. I miss you, and you've been gone less than 12 hours. But - *snuffles*.

(Although it probably would've helped if you'd been able to sneak out silently in the night. But, alas, sleep is one of those things you can't ever expect me to do properly. And, hee - I should totally have put that on the quiz: "Compared to your friends list, are you more well-rested/as well-rested as the average/more sleep-deprived?")

No, it was perfect - I was glad to see you again and get one! more! hug! and blither at you for another minute or two half-asleep. I wish wish wish we lived closer. I got home and...well. See my journal for how well my day is going. There's a reason I never talk about my problems - because then I THINK about my problems, and then they bother me. :-/ AVOIDANCE IS TOTALLY A VALID LIFESTYLE CHOICE. *ostrich*

(LESS RESTED OMG. OMFG. Though you certainly bring down the mean!)

\S< is the new emoticon of choice for all the cool kids...

OTP totally yay, except that now she is gone again. *sad*

I'm really intrigued by these results.

Me, too. Like, there are questions where I expected to see massive skew and I'm totally seeing a bell curve, and others I expected not to skew at all and yet they do. I am gripped! Statistics has fixed me with its mesmerizing stare!

Holy Hell.

Slathering you with ICON LOOOOVE!

(That is one of the Hernandez Bros., yes? Eeeep!)

Hee, yes! That's Jaime's Maggie and Hopey.

Here, have another Hopey, this time with sneering lip-curl action (because it makes her *even* cuter).

::wibbles brokenly::

Oh... Esparancita. I've been looking for a Maggie of my very own since I was a raucous baby trollop on the Oxnard streets. And yet, I have never found one. Of course, these days I'd have to say I have a lot more in common with Izzy than I do with Hopey--particularly in the way I commiserate with my bookshelves :-)

Thank you for making my day in a spectacularly nostalgic way!
