Poll: Compare Amongst Yourselves
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
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.)
[Poll #931955]

Esp. if one counts solo acts of affection, which I do.
My Flist leaves me in a constant state of wonder at the things they can create. Therefore, I'm going to assume I'm slightly less creative than they are. (Or perhaps that I can't see my own skills and abilities with any clarity--which, okay, that's why I always test out as borderline autistic on those screeners.)
Oh, and I consider myself to be a worse-than-average driver. Unlike the majority of people.

You know, I've often wondered about that, how people with co-sleeping kids have sex. Apparently the answer is: they mostly don't. (But then, with small kids, you mostly don't anyway, so.)
Esp. if one counts solo acts of affection, which I do.
Hah! Finally someone who does! Because people have been saying, "I'm not at all sexually active, because I'm a virgin," and I'm like, "...But you can be sexually active without a partner. Right? Right?" Although I suppose I was doomed, using that phrase, because it's what doctors ask during yearly checkups. I mean, when they say, "Are you sexually active?" they aren't asking about solo endeavors.
Oh, and I consider myself to be a worse-than-average driver. Unlike the majority of people.
I consider myself to be a worse-than-average driver - that was pretty much settled for me during driver's ed, where I did something so notorious that the teachers were still talking about it ten years later - but I also firmly believe that all the other cars on whatever stretch of road I'm on are clearly there just to annoy me. I know I'm not the greatest driver in the world, or even average, but I'm still not giving an inch in terms of appreciating anyone else's driving behavior, either.

* Get a babysitter, consider a pay-by-the-hour-motel.
* Wait until child is deeply, deeply (do the arm drop test) asleep. Have the kind of quiet, puritanical sex you thought you left behind when you moved out of your parents' house.
* If child falls asleep in car, place child in crib, count to ten, and go to town.
Driver's ed took me three times to pass. As did the actual test.
The other drivers, of course, remain evil. Even if they're technically good drivers, doesn't mean they're using that power FOR good, you know?
