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.

I must confess I only read one AF book, but very, very many times. I think I should read them all in time for that conference next year. Have a sweet?

It's a shame you're going to Lancaster! It's probably too late to ask if you want to come to the quiz at the Cornerhouse tonight with roughly a fifth of my flist, isn't it? So far there haven't been many questions on children's literature though.

Which book have you read? If you like, I can lend you some, only I'd have to have them back by the 28th because that's when I'm moving! I love AF a little too fervently for some people's liking sometimes.

Tonight is a little too short notice, as I'm having to work late (grr) but thank you. I didn't know they did quizzes there. I'm currently applying for a job that would mean spending half a week in Manchester though, so I'm hoping I get to still do somethings here despite being in Lancaster.

Autumn Term, I think. And yes I'd love to borrow one before the 28th - it's not like I should be writing my dissertation at all, pshaw, September is still far away. Hey maybe you could come to the quiz next week? We've started going every week recently. Last time we won two bottles of Carlsberg.

September is ages away. What would you like to borrow? I have them all. There is the next one in the overall series (The Marlows and the Traitor, holiday story with spies and intruige), the next one of the school stories (End of Term) or a completely different one?

The quiz sounds like great fun actually - what time is is on?

School story pleeeease, those are my favourite. I have had to read so many convoluted German spy and intrigue novels this year that my head is quite dizzy with them.

The quiz starts at 8.30 and we usually meet up in the bar at around 8, please do come! Tonight we won a book, a cinema ticket and two bottles of Bud. We are getting better all the time.

Well that creeped me out a bit.

I assume that was you? Hee! End of Term is probably your best bet then. S'a special copy - it used to belong to Antonia Forest, and it's signed on the title page.

I will mark the date in my diary for next Monday. I am very enthusiastic about quizzes, but not nearly as skilful as I would like to believe.
