Split Narratives
Aug. 31st, 2009 06:30 pmHow do you feel about them? Do you find them distracting when the point of view shifts, even if the shifts are clearly defined?
With the first question, 1 is the least annoying, 10 is the most.

Everything but the kitchen sink
Sep. 10th, 2008 06:20 pmSo, I'm still looking around at kitchen sinks. Right now I'm reasonably content to keep our crappy stainless steel double bowl, but I keep looking aruond, seeing if they have anything out there (for under $600) that might be better.
So, I'm wondering, what do you like in a kitchen sink?

May. 1st, 2008 12:03 pmNot surprisingly, I don't feel great today (didn't help that Babe woke up at 4 again last night while I didn't get to sleep till 1...). However, I am going to force myself out of doors (at some point when my stomach settles) and hopefully that will make it all better.
But, in the meantime, I am still thinking about what painting I'm going to do next. I have three images in mind that I'm really interested in, and I've decided that it's been a looong time since I've done a poll, so I might as well ask you all.
(You all understand, though, that although your opinions are important to me, I am likely to throw them out the window if I feel so inclined... Artist's license for critical defenestration and all that, you know.)
So, here are the images I'm conisdering:
( I can't count, can I? )
So, now that you've seen my ideas, here's the poll:

please help me take this meme
Jun. 17th, 2007 10:15 pmOkay, I'm tired of all these memes where the answers depend on what others think of me. How am I to know what others think of me if I'm not them? I may be slightly empathic, but that doesn't translate to telepathic.
So, here's the thing: Would you help me out? Don't need to if you don't want to, of course, but I'm tired of guessing so wildly.
[Poll #1004998]
That's all.

Why do I insist upon making pictures of people? Why?
*grumbles*
It wouldn't be so bad if I could just get them right!
Considering the amount of swearing I'm doing right nos, though, I think I need to stop for the night. I had hoped to get another one done, or at least well on its way, but oh well.
But, before I retire for the night, a quick poll:

Dream poll
Nov. 2nd, 2006 11:54 pmThe responses from my last (non-meme) post reminded me of a poll I wanted to put out there. I'm assuming all of you can remember your dreams, whether of snippets or the whole convoluted mess. Well, I'm wondering...

Sep. 20th, 2006 11:12 pmSomething weird happened in choir practice tonight. I had a panic attack. Maybe I should just call it an anxiety attack, because it really wasn't that severe (nothing compared to my other chest pains, although longer lasting).
One minute I was happily singing along (or trying to, anyway) with everyone, and the next... well, I was still happily singing along, just with my chest feeling like it was folding in on itself.
I knew immediately what was going on so I was able to continue doing what I was supposed to without missing more than a beat, but I was surprised at the lack of mental involvement. I didn't hear noises (other than the choir, that is). I didn't feel dizzy. I didn't feel anxious, but my body did.
I always assumed that anxiety attacks were accompanied by, well, anxiety. Go figure.
The sad thing is, I think I know what caused it. Right, that's not sad. The cause is.
( And the backstory is... )
On another note, I'm having company over tomorrow. Artist lady (wife of a fellow choir member) is coming over, finally. I confronted her (rather artlessly, at that) on SUnday and scheduled a time then and there because I knew if it were left up to me calling her, it would never, ever happen. I don't call people other than my husband and my mum. I don't even call my siblings.
Anyway, we scheduled for Tuesday, but she had to move it back to Thursday, which was a-okay by me, giving me more time to clean.
Which brings me to a poll!

Chapter length poll
Jul. 20th, 2006 07:11 pmOkay, I know this question was going around Potter Place a little while ago, but there didn't really seem to be a consensus.
As a reader, if update time weren't a factor (ie: it would be two weeks whether it was 1000 words or 10,000):

progress and a poll
Jun. 7th, 2006 12:04 am13,000 words so far. I'm damn close to finished the rough draft, but I really think this needs to be two chapters instead of two parts of one. It's too long!
Snape is pretty wildly OOC in one part of the chapter, but he does have good reason... I hope I don't have to rewrite that scene. I like it.
Well, if I do, I'll post it here once the chapter is up.
And now for something completely different. *whistles innocently*
( My first poll evar!!1! liek whoa. )
