I ask you, my flist

I have my tattoo touch-up appointment in a couple of weeks, and one of the things I'm considering is getting some blue added to the nib end of my pen. My artist suggested that I print out a colour copy of my tatt and colour it with coloured pencils to see how I liked the depth of colour there, but I have neither a colour printer nor coloured pencils, and I have a million deep blue eye makeup options, so I just coloured on the tattoo itself and took pictures of that. It seemed much more expedient. I'll probably colour it again a few times between now and then to see what I think of it in different lights and stuff, but I wanted to do a straw poll too, and see what other people thought. So here we are.

Looks like poll time again.

The 80 questions (or 45 questions for the attentionally challenged ;P) meme that's been going around has made me very curious about something. How do you draw your hearts, people?

A poll about YOU!!

I have somehow ended up having a conversation about these topics with four different people in the last two days, so I decided it's time for a poll. Plus, POLL! What's not to love? Polls are FUN! I made it so no one can see who says what, so you can answer honestly, with no embarrassment, because I promise not to judge you, no matter what.

I know I used the dreaded radio buttons for some of the questions, but you can just answer with how you most often feel. (and if you're both and artist and a writer, or whatever, and the answers would be totally different, you can pick one medium if you want) It doesn't have to be for every time; I know there will always be outliers, and there is always space in the comments box if you want to explain. I have comments set to screened, but will reply (and thus unscreen) unless you say "keep screened" in your subject line or the comment itself.


It's long, so I spare your flists with a cut )

Who's with the what now?

This probably seems like a super random poll, and I'm not going to argue that. But last night I dreamed that I did this poll as part of a school project, and when I woke up it turned out I was curious about the answers. So here you have it. :D

[Poll #1494697]

I don't know what you're talking about...
give me the wiki link please,
or tell me more about this YouTube you mentioned.

(no subject)

I am having a stupidly irritating afternoon. I just burned my hands on molten cheese, and I just opened my DVDs from netflix, only to discover that when I put Mad Men on my queue I moved season two up to the top instead of season one, so I got the first disc of the second season today.

However. Stupid irritations are fairly minor when it comes down to it. *moves on*

I've narrowed down the possible fonts for my fandom/affirmation tattoo down to my favorite three, and now I seek the learned opinion of you fine people. Which one do you like best? Or should I keep looking?

to watch or not to watch: Harper's Island

I don't love the horror genre, really. But I do love Jim Beaver and I really wanted to see Katie Cassidy do something other than play Ruby in a weirdly truncated season of SPN.

I watched the first several episodes and then I went away for a month. Only one episode taped while I was gone. I managed to get some, hopefully all, of the episodes I missed, and watched a couple of them. I got spoiled for who died in an episode I didn't watch. Now I am not sure where I am, but think I have at least one more ep I need to watch on my computer before I can get to the ones on my DVR.

I generally liked what I have seen so far, but I wouldn't say LOVED. I've seen some posts indicating not much love for the final episode, though thankfully have NOT been spoiled.

[Poll #1429470]

feel free to elaborate on the whys of your answer in comments, but plz to not be spoiling me for anything after the episode at the wedding rehearsal (though I might have seen one after that. I can't actualky remember)

Who's on top?

I've seen a few warnings lately about so-and-so topping or bottoming and read a few comments about how someone won't read a fic if one or the other character is the top or the bottom, and it's made me curious.

So the idea is you pick your favourite three (or a random selection of three) OTPs (and yes, I understand that the O stands for one *g*), and use them for the poll. If you only have one or two, just answer one or two sections.

I encourage conversation in comments, because I'm sure the questions don't cover all people might have to say on the subject.

eta because I guess it wasn't clear: ANY PAIRING, ANY FANDOM AT ALL, even ones I've never heard of, it's all good.

clicky for the poll )

It's a poll!

I have to leave for class in about two hours, and I'm starting to get flaily (like literally, I knocked half my cosmetics stuff on the floor) so I thought I'd make a poll to distract myself. Come play!
I just realized this takes up half your flist! )

So, I have a car this week. There are things to do, but it's kind of a crappy day, and I don't have a car that often, and I kind of feel like going to the movies. Since I'm going on my ownsome, I want help choosing. WHAT SHOULD I SEE???


[Poll #1181495]

ETA so Iron Man won, and not just cos I missed Sarah Marshall's start time obsessively refreshing the poll results when I decided I needed some lunch.

Where's the Tina love, people? ;)

A poll about pronounciation!

So, [livejournal.com profile] sstevie made a post about the word chunk versus the word chuck. And which of these words is synonymous with 'throw'. I said she should do a poll, cos I'm desperately curious. She said I had lots of friends and that I should do the poll. She has just as many friends as I do, but we have a fair amount of not-crossover, so I'm doing it, as suggested.

so there *g*

more fan fiction poll!

Ok! You have all been very good with giving me things to put in the next part of my fanfic poll series. YOU MAY STILL ADD THINGS

I'm only allowed to ask you 15 questions at a time, and so I'm trying to divide it into sensible parts. First up is frequently seen phrases. The three main fandoms I seem to have fans of on my f'list are House, Supernatural and Stargate Atlantis. If more of you go and vote about fandom specific things, I will probably have enough to do a poll for each of those three fandoms. For the smaller fandoms and things that cross fandoms, I will also be having a more general section. and yes, I'm kinda wondering why I ever started this, why do you ask?

We all know that there are exceptions to every rule, and that if you see something in one fic your reaction isn't going to be the same as it might be in another fic. Any clarifying you want to do in comments will give me a happy. But...

let's assume that the fic we're talking about when answering the below questions is one that you like well enough but don't absolutely love, and that the author is someone you have no personal feelings about whatsoever.

on your marks, get set, GO! )

thank you!

Thank you so much to everyone who has answered my what keeps coming up in fanfic that you love or hate question. You're all giving me great stuff. If you haven't done it yet, there is still time! Oh yes. *nods*

I'm trying to figure out the best way to compile it all. Whether to divide things up into separate fandoms or try to make general some of the more specific things. Like where Sheppard gets called John and House gets called Greg. (that's obviously one of the easier ones to generalize.)

But please do come along and add to the list, pimp if you want to, and I will do my best to make it all into a coherent poll!!!

s my f'list so much

more poll stuff

For the next part of the poll, I want to know people's opinions of some of the fanon 'staples' you see in fic. We all have them. It can be things that instantly make you hot, or squee or awww, or things that make you want to cover your eyes and shut the tab. Or just things you keep seeing but don't really have an opinion on one way or another.

But before I can ask how you feel about them, I need to know what they are. I only know mine, you see. *g*

So. Any fandom, things specific to a fandom like Wilson crossing his arms or Dean calling Sam 'Sammy,' or things that cross fandoms, like 'scissoring fingers.'

Please help!
