I HATE THE SUMMER SO MUCH

[hooveraardvark]

Poll yeah, i'm alivethis month has been kind of insane, what with traveling to DC, seeing my parents, having multiple visitors including the random czechs, lots of work, going to flushing for an epic food trip, lupus and fibro flare-ups due to the weather changes, and increasing depression and craziness (chalk that up to exhaustion and frustration with life). i have

b/c I can never just ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTIONS

[dyskodyke]

The social awkwardness one is hard, b/c often I FEEL very awkward but I'm getting decent at hiding it. So I prob feel more like 6/7 but can appear more like 3/4. It also depends on the sitch.

Also, I chose humidity, but heat is such a close second that I can't believe you made me choose. It is 100 here every day and I am fucking miserable.

Let me just say that I did not know that T answered "TWITTER IS EVIL" in one of her questions, we are simply VERY AWKWARD TWINS requiring more than 140 characters.

Also, omg S, you package things in the most. adorable. way. It was truly a present.

Also also, I ranked myself a 9, which is how I feel, but other people seem to think I am OK.

3rd also, C & I have had discussions on when Austin Powers will come back around to being a hilarious reference to the past. Not here yet, unfortunately. Yeah baby! See? Is not yet funny.

I guess if I were on Twitter, I would follow Shaq, but that's just because he is insane and pretty much awesome.

i was very glad i saved all that colored tissue paper and gift box business! it's way more fun to open a package if it's pretty - i'm glad you liked it.

i laughed out loud at your use of "yeah baby!" i am kind of surprised gollum is winning but i will admit i sometimes think talking like gollum is funny. it's just enjoyable calling your boyfriend a stupid fat hobbit.

augh, i heard a rumor that shaq does not actually write his twitter - if this is true, it is the most brilliant marketing scheme ever and whoever actually writes it should win some kind of award.

I read somewhere that people saw Shaq in a diner somewhere, were debating if that was him/should they say something, and he updated his twitter to say something like "fans shouldn't be afraid to come say hi" or somesuch, then they got to ride in his car!

I am pretty sure this is at least 80% accurate and not a figment of my imagination.

[hooveraardvark]

no, i actually think it could be fun to be a contestant on that show . . . i am just angry at the "look at the fat freak dancing" angle.

[hooveraardvark]

i keep randomly seeing commercials for both and i actually saw part of the dancing one in a restaurant the other day. so weird. i mean, there are whole websites devoted to fat people dancing, because this is supposedly OMG HILARIOUS, so i really don't think the tv show is going to transcend this. :( i can't tell though.

I'm reluctantly using Facebook more often, but I REFUSE TO USE TWITTER. I hate Twitter. The things people post on Facebook are somehow less annoying than "I got coffee!" "Oh new movie?" and the stupid stupid terse speech and abbreviations people use to get around the character limit.

AUGH

I'm still posting to lj, though. We'll just be a more select group!

I actually don't mind heat or humidity... I could move to Florida, but I won't! I actually love D.C., weird, I know!

[mmymoon]

ALSO did you see the new Audrey doll? I couldn't remember if you did!

[hooveraardvark]

i do not like twitter either. but at least i'd actually be in touch with people. grrrrr. i will not join facebook, though. that is my last stand.

i did see the roman holiday pullip! she's cute, but not as cute as holly. i will probably get her though. dooolllllssssss

[mmymoon]

Facebook was pretty awful at first, but it annoys me a lot less than Twitter because it does serve a fairly useful social purpose. (Which is: Vaguely keep in touch with people you feel guilty for ignoring, but don't like enough to actually spend effort on. Or else who live too far away. And such.) And the functionality is a lot higher. I freaking HATE Twitter.

Audrey on Audrey action!

[myglock_yrface]

M. and I will probably be in th DC area for SPX in th fall, are you going?

[hooveraardvark]

i'm not sure - i certainly could arrange to do so, but i've gone the last two or three years, so i don't know. i'd like to meet you though!

last time i had gilbert hernandez sign a book, but i made jonah do it because i was too shy.

[hooveraardvark]

is there any comics person in particular you were going to see?

[danschank]

whoa, why are we the only two voting for ace ventura? jim carrey-esque body language is my DEEPEST AND PUREST turn off with people. the phrase "awwwrightey then" makes me want to barf.

also, i think i'm exciting my socially awkward stage and entering into my hi-i'm-a-weirdo-who-no-longer-cares-anymore phase, which works better about 75% of the time.

good poll!

[hooveraardvark]

someone else voted for that, but yeah, i don't get it. the others are annoying too, but i can't think of anything more annoying than talking out of your ass (literally)?

i think i entered that phase a long time ago, making it easier to fake my way through social interactions.
