Was thinking of television again. Lost is moving to 10pm when it comes back, which pretty much means I am not going to watch it 'live' anymore. I just can't watch TV after 10. By then I'm ready to climb into bed and read a bit until I get sleepy.

So then I was thinking of the shows I'm watching, and why I like them, and why a couple of them are starting to wane, and I decided I wanted to see who on my flist watched the shows I watch, and what they watch that I don't. So...Poll:

[Poll #883120]

Flushed with the successful completion of last year's contest, I have signed myself up. The problem is, I have no story idea. I've been turning over various plots in my mind, and I'm not sure what I want to do.

The thing is, for ages I've wanted to write a good ghost story. I get really tired of the stories where the ghosts are all chainsaw murdering serial killers or, at best, somehow manage to cause physical damage to the living. I have been wondering if I could write a good, scary story.

I have had this one idea that I tried awhile ago, but I think the plot was all over the place. I thought I might give it another go, but it has to do with a girl who can see ghosts, and between various television shows with that same theme, and at least one YA series that already features said type of girl, I don't know if I should do it.

So...poll...

Personally I think if you set these to music it could be a folk song.

Here's the poll I wanted to do:

I'm just curious as to what majority of my flist are left-handed. I'm guessing that many of you are, working from the hypothisis that left handed people are creative and everyone on my list is creative.


Am waiting for my mum to come get me so we can go to my cousin's bridal shower. Given the date, I'm wondering how long it will be before someone brings it up at the shower, or if the nature of the party will keep it at bay. Will let you know.

I am mostly posting because I want to share my new icon that I pretty much made all by myself using the picture from this website that sells the stickers, because, well, it's cool.

So, since technically it is my icon, if anyone wants it they can take it.

We in the office ordered pizza today, because it was that kind of a day and we got to talking about events in history - one woman was sharing her rememberances that started with President Kennedy getting shot and moving on from there. We all pretty much cover a decent age range, so it was fun seeing who remembered what. This made me decide to do the following poll, covering a couple of events from the 60's to the 80's to see what ya'all remember or at least know about. So...enjoy.
