Get Out Your Number Two Pencils

So I'm so into voting right now. Honestly. Maybe it's because of sk*rt. Or maybe it's because I'm really ready for the presidential elections. Or maybe I'm just jonesing for some live televised singing and breakdancing competition. But gah! I just can't get enough of the voting!

Ask me anything. Like, um, what the next 7 wonders of the world should be. Or what type of frosting some people I don't know should have on their TV wedding cake. Or um, even um...hey, I know!... ask me about my favorite robot! You never knew I had a favorite robot? Well neither did I. That is, until I found out I could vote for it. You see, I'll vote for anything. I even stopped in the mall and let some random person survey me about electronics. Seriously. It's that bad.

So.

To keep me from taking an extra job as a phone surveyor (and because I've always wanted to try one of these), I'm going to do a survey con queso. That's right. You heard me. A survey. With cheese.

Over the last few days, I've had a few odd things happen. Too many odd things, actually. And I can't really go into all of the details (because, really, who has the time?), but I could gather enough energy to rattle on about one. So. You get to vote. For the rambling topic that seems, well, most interesting to you. And your current choices aaaarrreee...
  • I See Rich People. (They're everywhere. Seriously.)
  • Living With a Mime. (The Hurricane thinks talking is for losers.)
  • Waxing Poetic. (Getting everything below your eyebrows waxed and living to tell about it.)
  • Working It. (Bringing home the bacon and ordering takeout.)
  • The Writing's On The Wall. (What if your weight was written on the office wall? Wouldn't that suck? If you answered yes, then you really shouldn't work at my office.)
  • Why the Hell Did I Sign Up for This? (I was apparently on crack at school volunteer night. Good juicy crack.)
So vote. The winner gets to exist. The losers, well, you may never hear from them again. It's that serious people.

(Also, I may have done something a little wrong because although my preview shows a "cast your vote" button underneath the options, my browser just shows a black box. If you just see black, that's okay, just click the black abyss under the options and your vote should go through just fine.)

I vote for WRITING ON THE WALL! So horrible, yet so good. More office drama!

And of course I would answer the poll right away. I somehow psychically knew it was here. Quizzes and polls...I love them both ever so much!

What if we want to pick "All of the Above?'

(oh, and I know what you mean about sk*rt. I love to click on those little green buttons.)

So I'm the *only* one who voted for the waxing?

How embarrassing.

I voted for the Writing on the Wall, as well, because that's just too curious - what on earth...!?

(Of course, I also want to vote for a bunch of the other options, because they sound interesting, too! Apparently the idea of "voting for one" is lost on me.)

Or how about if we take our urge to vote and hang on to it until next November?

For sure, Pundit Mom. I'm just getting warmed up.

I voted for I SEE RICH PEOPLE. I'd love to hear your take on the haves versus the bitter have-nots.

I am bitter at having to choose. How about the top 3? too many good options, Laura. In fact, now I want to change my vote...

I had to vote for "i see rich people" given recent reading of Danah Boyd's essay "Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace". It would be great to hear your thoughts!

If you like to vote for things go to www.bixandme.blogspot.com! You get to vote on a baby's eye color because her parents are colorblind and cannot tell. It's my niece, and I need other people to convince them what color her eyes are!
