Just so I'm clear on how things stand...

[Poll #781649]

This isn't one of the interesting ones, I'm afraid. Hey, does anybody else ever search up random polls by changing the number in the poll's URL, and then answer them to skew the results?

kookaburra? you're crazy. and yes, i answer people's random polls all the time. but it doesn't seem to be a very preferred pasttime because the pollmakers ALWAYS write me and ask why i answered their poll (good naturedly, they just want to know where i found them). so i guess not many other people do it.

I clicked Washington DC while playing around and forgot to change it before clicking submit. XDDDD Oops.

You can change your answer if you really want by clicking "fill out poll" but that is much less amusing ...

DC isn't the capital of anything, anymore.

And yet, it's more amusing to leave it! XD

That is a Brilliant Idea! Normally I kust flist-jump answering polls along the way. This way I get to spread the skew! Heeeee :)

NYC doesn't really seem like my kind of place, so I don't know if I'll ever travel there.

I can't stand babies, but at the same time I often get serious "I want to be a mommy" cravings. I do want to try for children someday... I guess I'll just have to wait out the baby stage. I suppose I'll feel differently when it's mine, and not some random baby screaming and spitting up in a restaurant. Lol.

people tell me it is different when its your own. I find kids rude, obnoxious but yet I want to have them. I think it all boils down to on how the parents raise the child and disapline (sp) them.

I like lots of kids, but not all kids. Some kids are very poorly raised and tend to be quite annoying. I really dislike kids who think they should always get their own way and have a right to be actively rude to others. But I do want to have my own kids.

I used to live on Long Island, but that was long ago.

It's interesting, because I live in a bilingual state and I think officially English is not the majority language ... well, I mean, it's the majority in that it has more speaker than other languages but not in the sense that more than half the people here speak it. And I spend a fair amount of time speaking Spanish, but I guess mostly I speak English, and certainly if we're going to compare me to the rest of the country then most people speak English. Even if that's not true within the state.

You can visit if you want, but it won't do you much good if your goal is to get out of the country.

Our current Representative's ads emphasize how independent and non-partisan she is, and the smear ads against her emphasize that she took money from Tom DeLay. Then called for an investigation against him. Basically, New Mexicans hate politicians. All politicians.
