It's been ages since I've had the time to make a poll for fun. But I have time today! I miss just chilling out on livejournal. It's been feeling like a bit of a chore lately, but I think the feeling will pass. I have at least caught up to my flist now. Not watching
valyrian_forged for the moment actually makes it seem a lot more manageable (though I'll obviously still check it on a regular basis, it's just better to look at separately, I think). ;) Anyway, POLL TIME!
[Poll #1433620]
Apologies in advance for any typos, and thanks for taking. :)

Date: 2009-07-22 10:39 pm (UTC)Not really a cruise but when I was small my parents took me with them to a big boat which made a day cruise through De Biesbosch. It was seriously the most boring day ever. I don't know what I would think of it now.
I know a lot of people regard Twitter as the Second Coming, especially re. Iran but seriously, not a fan.
no subject
Date: 2009-07-22 11:16 pm (UTC)Yeah, a day cruise doesn't sound like it could really compare to the full cruise vacation, but I'm sure you'd enjoy it more as a teenager/adult.

Date: 2009-07-22 11:00 pm (UTC)My "none" for tv shows, is that I don't watch any of them!! ;; The Office, House, Grey's, Dollhouse, and that's about it for me. :)

Date: 2009-07-22 11:11 pm (UTC)The one I went on was like...more fun than TV. There were musical shows every night, games every day, a casino, an arcade, exercise classes, a track, and we stopped for lots of cool shore excursions (snorkeling with stringrays, pirate museum, etc.)! There are apparently even cooler cruise ships out there, with rock-climbing walls, karaoke, skating rinks, and so on...I guess a lot of it depends on your specific ship? Or whether you find certain things fun. I found my cruise vacation to be an "11", but my brother isn't half as "yay outdoorsy adventures!" as I am, so he'd probably rate it as...something less than 3. ;)
Yes, it does. Celebrities are only making it worse! I'm glad I'm not alone on that one.

Date: 2009-07-22 11:09 pm (UTC)Also, Islands of Adventure is way better than Disney, if only for the Hulk (I'm pretty sure, it's green at least...) roller coaster that shoots you up the initial incline. Hell, any roller coaster is better than Disney.
Except that five-story arcade in Downtown Disney. Is that even still open? It was pretty rad.
no subject
Date: 2009-07-22 11:14 pm (UTC)Hulk is the green floorless one, yeah. Islands of Adventure seems really awesome. And it's apparently going to be where the new Harry Potter park thing will show up in 2010. I'm mostly obsessed with the need to go to Sea World right now. They have some awesome roller coaster stuff there right now, including one of those very rare water coasters, which sounds ridiculously fun.

- Bacon. Who needs it?
- The only good thing about twitter (but it's a really good thing) is the Tonight Show Twitter Tracker sketch that comes on once a week on Conan. Simply Hilarious.
no subject
Date: 2009-07-23 04:06 am (UTC)Yeah, I don't care much about bacon, either. I don't hate it or anything, I just don't care much.
Twitter Tracker sketch? Care to elaborate? :)
no subject
Date: 2009-07-23 01:36 pm (UTC)As for the twitter tracker. Basically, it's a sketch that makes fun of how lame twitter really is by having a super crazy excited man talk about how awesome such celebrity tweets as "Golly, I love the beach" somehow are."
I find it very amusing, lots of funny graphics and dead fake birds too (which you should like, Hermione lover).

Date: 2009-07-23 08:13 am (UTC)-I admit to having seen the Transformers movie, but only because I have the hope of dragging Friend-With-Car to the Sherlock Holmes movie next year. It was bad. Really bad. Hilariously bad.
-My week starts on a Tuesday, because I have Mondays off.
-My mother has an irrational fear of being murdered on a cruise. Random note is random.

Date: 2009-07-23 08:40 am (UTC)And elaborating:
Cruise: No, but some night crossing from england to france and netherlands. And a day trip on a private boat for mari's birthday with friends, whales and seaturtles :D
And I don't know what pastrami is.
no subject
Date: 2009-07-23 03:29 pm (UTC)Your private boat day trip sounds fabulous!
Pastrami (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastrami) is a sandwich meat. It's a big Jewish thing, so naturally everyone in Brooklyn/NYC knows what it is. ;) It's pretty good, I think.

Date: 2009-07-23 10:33 am (UTC)+ I picked Monday because I prefer to start with the worst and end with the best. ;)
+ I signed up for Twitter because I was curious and many of my friends use that to communicate (especially those who are too lazy to update LJ). When I discovered that several actors from Whedonverse have accounts there along with other awesome famous people, I couldn't help but friend them. Basically, I just update with responses to twitter friends but hardly on my own. I'm not crazy about it but I can't say I hate it because it does have its uses!

Date: 2009-07-23 03:26 pm (UTC)Hahah, I am with you on your reasoning for Mondays!

Date: 2009-07-23 04:06 pm (UTC)As for the jobs, I only selected ones that I would possibly have the experience/training for... art/design/etc would be great, but I have no artistic talent. :P
As for the small dead animal question... I tend to do all or most of those things, haha.
For the Florida theme park question... I've been to all four Disney theme (non-water) parks, and Typhoon Lagoon, and they were all AWESOME. I can't believe Typhoon Lagoon has no votes! But, the most all-over awesome one was the Magic Kingdom, because, well, it's the Magic Kingdom!
Twitter is stupid. I have a Twitter, and I follow a couple of interesting people (Neil Gaiman, Lance Armstrong, Texts From Last Night (which is usually hilarious))... but for the most part, it's stupid, and I could happily never check Twitter again. Neil Gaiman has a blog, as does Lance Armstrong, and TFLN has a website. Twitter is unnecessary.

Date: 2009-07-28 04:04 am (UTC)Yep, I'm with you on art/design sounding awesome but not having those skillz!

Date: 2009-07-23 05:13 pm (UTC)Mmmh, meat. My "other" is kebab! I also picked "ham", but now I have an afterthought, what do you mean with ham? The thinly sliced one you put into sandwiches (that what I was thinking about) or the portion of the pork?
