I tend to resist learning anything practical. I am much more apt to memorize trivia about faiths in which I do not believe than I am to learn how to make my DVD player work. Therefore, I have always hitherto used "low tech" questions in lieu of the LJ poll mechanisms. But tonight I realized that I wished to try my hand at a poll. I have set the poll so that anyone can play, but that only I can see the answers (assuming I have done it correctly). I keep anonymous comments enabled, so I do not believe one has to be an LJ user to fill out the poll. Nobody has to feel bashful, as I know it is an irritation sometimes to answer open-ended questions in public.
As with all such polls, I ask a series of questions primarily for my own sense of fun. I am sorry that I was not able to generate a quiz which might tell the reader whether s/he is really Lerner & Loeb, Leopold & Loeb or Siegried & Roy, but we must take our steps into a new era one step at a time. In any event, here is my simple poll, in which I hope to discover information to enhance my LJ experience:
[Poll #85409]
Many thanks, in advance, for allowing me to know you a bit better.

Date: 2002-12-20 06:31 am (UTC)I'd like your journal just the way it is--yours.
If we met we would likely discuss literature and music, but I can't help but think the conversation would turn to observing what was around us from time to time.
I like the comments I get, when I receive them. It's nice to know LJ isn't a void.
I would wish for a time machine that was bigger on the inside than on the outside. This has always been my private desire.
I think people may believe I am portly--rather, I am quite thin; rail-like, even.
Wafer thin and ginger tart.

Date: 2002-12-20 02:39 pm (UTC)I'd have to agree with burninggirl and asphalteden: for personal satisfaction, I would have liked a little more room to type my replies. However, knowing my propensity for rambling, and recognising the point of the poll as an information-gathering exercise to address certain points, I adhered to the restrictions enforced by the little boxes. You can always ask for me to expand upon them if you want.
I was surprised at how many people prefer chocolate chip to a hint of spice. I wonder if this is a reflection of our lifestyles these days?
