Life Your Daily Poll Dance: Tell It Like It Is Edition
Posted by David Schmader on Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 10:27 AM
What the hell's your problem?

I had my coffee this morning at Starbucks at Westlake and the corporatized barista asked in a freakish cheery voice how I was doing. I told her I was suicidal and without even pausing after my answer that half the store heard asked if I wanted something to eat with my coffee.

My actual problem is that I'm having an increasingly frustrating "debate" about gay adoption on Facebook with an idiot friend of mine who found religion some years ago (stupid Facebook gay adoption poll). He is totally devoid of logic (anal sex is bad for you! gay pride parades are no place for children! gay men only live to be 45!), but I feel compelled to keep hammering away at his "arguments". Pointlessly, since there's no way he'll ever change his mind...
Not that you all care, but, since "My friend is a moron" is not an option in this poll, I thought I'd share.

Nobody ever notices anybody, haven't you noticed? For more on this, rent the indie classic My Dinner with Andre. Be forewarned: this flick requires an attention span, which very people in oblivious modern life now have.

Ideally, not one person will respond to Confluence's post, thereby validating his/her argument.
Although I suppose I've ruined that possibility by posting this...

there were many possible answers for me listed, but I settled on "I feel guilty about everything".

I had three cups of coffee today as opposed to my one because my co-worker calls me at 5:40 to work her and my shifts. My stomach feels wretched, it's kind of gray outside and I am pretty sure the guy I call my boyfriend isn't actually my boyfriend. Something did smell weird here just about a half hour ago - wafting throught the vents. I have to pee, my lips are dry, I hate diet sodas, my butt itches, but I am pretty sure I will find love someday. I am just fine.

Once again, stymied by only being able to check one box. I'm underemployed, have no health insurance, am pregnant, and make five dollars a month too much to qualify for state assistance. So I'm paying cash for a dodgy, barely-qualified midwife to deliver the baby at home and hoping nothing goes awry.
But at least my butt doesn't itch. Of course, I'll probably have hemorrhoids after giving birth, and I am kinda freaked out that my husband seems to have an abnormally large head.

Sometimes, my problem is that I have to pee and I don't want to get up from the computer. But I'm fine right now.

Bruised my knee yesterday and my hands still hurt from the pavement (or they would if I didn't have that neat turning-pain-off trick), but I went for somebody to love ...

I've looked over the numbers and there is no easy way to get us to a majority of the nominal " I am fine". However, we can get a 10% boost by getting the all the (117 and counting) horny people together. I am thinking this same crowd can take care of the "My butt itches" crowd. And when the people who need to pee do so we could actually reach a plurarlity of "I am fine". The 5th of August could be historical in Seattle.

I saw this post when it first went up, but so many of the choices applied to my situation I had to go take a nap for two hours.

All my friends are dead (0%) refers to an earlier life in San Francisco; now all my friends are oblivious (like walking dead), but since this is the Age of Obliviousness, don't worry about it because breathable air exists in cyberspace
Query to teengirl who fell in sewer while texting: As soon as you were lifted out of the sewage, who was the first person you texted and what did you thumb? Were you bitchy and put out that someone put that manhole in your path? Or were you happy to continue being oblivious?

Had a hard time with this one. I picked fine, because I am. What I wanted to choose was, SLOG's server is driving me nuts.
PS I'm with 11. Being horney is not a problem, it's a gift, because it means your alive.

Should have been able to choose more than one. I'm unemployed and that is causing me to get deep into debt.
