Wednesday Night Poll

[july_july_july]

Below the cut, obliquest of oblique spoilers for Dead in the Family. I mean, extremely vague.  The poll is really unrelated, except for this one term, which has like zero plot value at all.

Basically: please take this poll unless you're extremely anal about spoilers for the new Sookie Stackhouse book. Extremely.

Maybe she could have an American mother? Who is so depressed by Britain that she never leaves the house and royally fucks her kid up? So the kid is technically Victorian young lady, but speaks English purty good like a real American?

While the sun never used to set on the British Empire it's been a long time since that covered USA! It's a time period!

A blue-stocking is a term for a lady who was considered unattractively academic. Basically, "nerd" only pejorative.
