A Poll about Livejournal. ANSWER IT.

[slemslempike]

Am still waiting for feedback from the report in the way of what papers to write from Supervisor. One of the journals I was looking at charges contributors $65 per page for submissions - is this normal? The journal itself seems to be a respected one.

I had a good moan this morning with the office manager about everything but especially the crapness of this place and especially Supervisor, including attitudes towards gender. Then Nice RA came over and bought me mid-morning cake and drink because I forgot my wallet today.

I am quite bored. I don't want to play games (but if I DID, I bloody well WOULD, and only a slight sense of the ridiculous stops me from playing them even though I don't want to), so here is A Poll. No-one can see the answers except me, so you'd better be damn salacious in your responses.

Final box sooo short. Boo.

Very interesting poll. Hope you enjoy the results!

I've heard rumours that there are some who have got off with/had sex with person or people that they met through LJ, or who regard certain people on their friends list as potential shags. Naturally, I cannot condone this sort of attitude.

My friends list is a mixture of types of people. A couple were RL friends, first, some have become RL friends, some I'd like to bcome RL friends. Others are people whom I find interesting but don't necessarily like. A few are people I never actually read but it would be rude to defriend them. Thank heavens for check boxes!

Oh dear, I can click all of the first set of boxes and only about half of the second ones. Clearly am an LJ golddigger. Oh dear.

There wasn't a box for 'confused mixture of friend and acquaintance' - some people on my friends list don't (as far as I know) read my journal, and I definitely consider them acquaintances rather than friends. On the other hand, the people who do comment in my journal (or who have conversations with me in their journal - some interaction, anyway) are more than acquaintances. I'm conscious that knowing someone through LJ isn't the same as knowing someone well in real life, though. So far I have met no LiveJournallers in real life, that I know of, anyway.

Yay poll yay!

Last box too short, but what I was saying before it cut me off so I settled for just listing things instead, was: That I don't tend to crush on people on lj so much. Sometimes I crush on a journal for a few days and want to read every single little thing in there and I look at their userinfo and see how very perhfect it is but I separate journals from people a bit somewhat a bit ys. And I listed the journals that I loves most but not you because you are here and it's a bit like not having the answer in the clue in a crossword.

I love how the box for ljers you can't stand has much more space than the box for favorite ljers.

[peeeeeeet.livejournal.com]

It is pleasing that we're all complaining we don't have enough space to list our favourites / the people we fancy.

Eeeee, I had something else to add but have forgotulated it. My right hand is a bit puffy and spongey today for some reason. I hope it is alright.

[sam-t.livejournal.com]

I didn't answer the favourites/unfavourites questions. My favourite people are the people on my flist I actually have conversations with, which isn't a terribly secret bit of information. There isn't anyone I can't stand (although I did rather lose my temper with someone recently, which I'm a bit ashamed of really) so I couldn't answer that one anyway.

Hi, since we only added each other yesterday I'm holding back on the last two for now! Liking Antonia Forest means you are a Very Great Person and counts for a lot, but I am still a bit too scared of the internet to give out that kind of information on the sceond day.

I bet you anything we have RL people in common in Manchester. My partner does Women's Studies.

I thought the crushes part of the last question was interesting, but potentially confusing. One can find a person's journal extremely interesting to read and worth commenting on regularly, and extract from that person's posts an idea of them as a person that one might like or wish to meet in real life, but that's a different thing to having a crush IMO.

One might of course also realise after sufficient perusal of their LJ that the other LJer in question is still interesting to read and reply to on a regular basis, but that one would definitely NOT wish to meet them in real life, let alone have a crush on them!

Such are the perils (and benefits) of human diversity.

I'll just sit here and look shifty, thanks.

The $65 per page thing is not normal and I reckon in no way should be encouraged. They can only get away with it because people have to publish or be out on their ear.
