Update (and a poll! ^o^ )
Hey everybody. How’s it going?

It seems I’m having to play an ever increasing game of “catch-up” with these posts. ^_^;
Though it looks like a few people saw by previous post, and thus the posts before it, if you haven’t already done so, please check out yesterday’s post. Thank you. ^_^

Anyway, onto today’s post.

For starters, I seem to have lightly stabbed myself in the top-portion (tip) of my left Index Finger with a small kitchen-knife. X_x Oww….
Nothing serious, though. So don’t worry.
I was opening the notoriously frustrating plastic-wrap on a cheese-stick (I haven’t eaten one since I was 7…..but my mom’s been buying them for my little sister who loves them, and I got curious and had to have one).
Dumb me was using a small kitchen-knife to poke through the binding of the wrapper and all the sudden….*POKE!*.
It’s a tiny little cut, but it’s comparatively deep (it’s a puncture/stab wound, after all). Plus, the tips of your fingers are very sensitive as you know. *o*
I’ve got a little band-aid on it now though, so no worries. ^_^

I did a major amount of drawing on Saturday.
What was I drawing? Well, you’ll have to wait and find out. ~_^

In other news, by brother is currently attending an acting class he received admittance to for his birthday this year. Meaning, he’s out of the house all of this week the whole time I’m baby-sitting. ^_^ It’s just me and my sister, which I love (my sister can be a pain sometimes, but Hell, she’s 8). Ahh…no obnoxious little jerk bugging me for a whole week….
For those wondering, the acting class is given by the local Play-House/Performing Arts Center for a play they’ll be doing in a week or 2 called “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”. Unfortunately, I have to go see it when he performs. :p *not looking forward to seeing “Peanuts” in live-performance version*
Meh, whatever, it’s the least I can do after he’s been out of the house for 2 weeks.
Oh, and my brother has been cast as Linus for those wondering. He looks nothing like Linus! XP

In one last bit of news, Josh was unable to go with me on that manga-run Saturday, or Sunday, or today. XE
He also says he won’t be able to do anything ‘till the end of this week!
He says he’s been lightly grounded and gave me the whole story last night over the phone, but I won’t go into details.
Meh, let’s just hope we can do something together this week. =/

Allrightie, now that I’m through updating you on my current status, I have a little something special for you. ^_^
Today I have a nice little Poll I’d just love to have you take. Any chance you’ll try it out? ^o^

This was originally one segment (the “Personal Questions” section) out of 3 from a larger poll I had typed up, but since this is long enough in itself I’ll save the other 2 segments (“Philosophy” and “Creative Thinking”) for some other time.

Here are the guidelines: These questions, as mentioned above, are “Personal Questions”. That means they’re designed to help me learn more about you as a person. ^_^
Some of these questions may be a bit too personal & emotional (you’ll know them when you get to them) and may make you feel uncomfortable about answering them. If you don’t want to talk about a certain issue, please feel free to skip it.
Those of you with sharp memory may remember a few of these questions from polls I’ve done several months or so ago. This is because often things for a person will change as time progresses, and you answer to the question now might be different from what it was 6 months or a year ago. ^_^

Please number you answers. If you want to, you can copy & paste this whole thing into MS Word and type you answers below each question (this often makes it easier when typing out your answers). This makes it a little easier for me to read, but it’s not necessary for you to include each question with each answer. Numbering them is just fine if you like.
DO NOT read anybody else’s responses to these questions until you’ve submitted your own (some questions that won’t matter on, but just to be safe don’t do it ^_^ ).
Be as elaborate or straight-forward as you want with each answer. Type however much you feel like typing.

Allright. You ready? Here we go. ^_^
