Important poll -- ~for science~.

Also, if I import comments on a Livejournal post over to Dreamwidth, it doesn't get rid of the Dreamwidth comments that are already on the post there, right?

Also, when talking to (usually uncooperative) inanimate objects I do it in a terrible southern/Oklahoma/Texas accent. o_O

[infiniteviking]

Bwahaha! That'll show 'em! :D

[ragdoll]

I also talk to dolls and television sets and pretty much anything inanimate, and myself (which still may constitute an inanimate object). I blame it on being an only child who didn't have many friends.

[infiniteviking]

Sometimes stuff makes a more interesting conversational partner than people! *nodnod*~

[kaffy_r]

Yeah, when it comes to communications, I'm pretty much Speaker to Goddamned Near Everything, I think. I had a brother, so I can't point to only-childism, but my animist tendencies probably stem from the same place as my reading choices (skiffy of all types.)

[infiniteviking]

Is that an Orson Scott Card reference I see there. I MEAN.~ True, it's probably more prudent to be polite to things that might unexpectedly attain sentience!

[kaffy_r]

Heh. Yes, you're right, that is an Orson Scott Card reference, although I'd forgotten where I got it, until you mentioned his name. It was either him or Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories.

And I think animists have to be the most careful critters in the universe.

[infiniteviking]

Heh. XD Well, Card's book was Speaker For..., so maybe it was Kipling at that. Only read those once, unfortunately.

XD!

I forgot "my car" and "MORONS ON THE HIGHWAY" as well as "fictional characters" LOL

[infiniteviking]

MORONS ON THE HIGHWAY. *dies* Best answer yet!

[curuchamion]

I talk to lots of things. Inanimate objects like hammers/nails and screwdrivers; my bicycle, the Millennium Falcon (she gets a lot of "sorry about that" and "thank you); random anthropomorphic things like my plushie!Three; and my hat, Levi. (Yeah, I live alone - not a lot of conversation opportunities. *g*)

[infiniteviking]

Ooh! The Falcon? A model, yes? I bet Three is fun to talk to, though. :D Funny, I never talk to my pipe-cleaner people -- just imagine them talking to each other.~

[curuchamion]

No, I guess I didn't make that clear: my bicycle is named after the Millennium Falcon (because she's the fastest hunk of junk on campus and corners beautifully). I want a model of the real Millennium Falcon, but I haven't got one yet...

[curuchamion]

Gah! That was me. I keep forgetting I'm not logged in.
