anthropomorphic polling...

Normally, when I'm bored and in this sort of mood, I'll post a silly poll about Buffyverse characters.

This time, I've decided to try something different: a silly poll about Buffyverse objects.

enjoy... )

silly pollage

I feel the urge to do a poll.

A serious poll from me right now would go something like this:
Given that I am sick, and awake at 12:47am with no possibility of getting back to sleep even though I'm tired should I:
a) go to work tomorrow and suffer through a long day, thus demonstrating commitment to new job?
b) stay home tomorrow, and watch huge amounts of tv?
c) decide I'm way too sick to get on a plane on Friday, and give up on Adelaide trip?
d) dose myself up on all the anti-cold pills I can find, and hope the world retreats behind a fuzzy cloud of numbness?


That would be depressing. Have a silly poll, instead:

Yep, I'm in a silly mood. How could you tell?

So, granted - you're a very good person who would never ever destroy the world, even a little bit. Because it's WRONG. No evil plans for you.

But, hypothetically, if you did decide to destroy the world...

How do you refer to people?

Just a poll, because I'm wondering if being in a different country makes a big difference to this...

(Ignore the "dear" if that's not what you'd say - I just put it there because it's the start of a letter.)
