(no subject)
Saw PoA for the second time yesterday. Apparently, it improves with further viewing. Although this may simply be because I had exhausted a great deal of my whinging on various points. ;) Will update with my not-so-in-depth and not-so-critical analysis later. When I have time. Maybe. *g*
The Journal Quiz
If you can give a detailed answer, do it. More than "yes" or "no" is good.
Beginning
* Why did you get a journal? Because everyone else was doing it! Hah! Can't be left out, can I? :)
* Why did you pick the name you did? Kim chose it <3
* Did you have a previous journal (on this site or on another)? If so, why did you switch? I had a blurty a while back. To be honest, I didn't use it that much after a while, and it was too connected to things I had moved on from.
* Who gave you your signup code (if applicable)? It is not :)
Posting
* What is the most common reason for you to decide to update? Someone else has a shiny new meme I want to steal, I'm in a pissy mood, or - rarest of all - something interesting actually happens to me.
* What makes you use an lj-cut? Quizzes and meme collections, mostly. Photos if I ever had enough of them to post. My rants are never long enough to warrant an lj-cut ;)
* Do you read over your posts before you update? Yeah, I preview. Helps weed out the horribly common typos that none of you know I make *g*
* Is what you post effected by who you think will read it and what they will think, or do you just post for yourself? Sometimes, but that's why I have so many custom groups *g*
Comments
* How many comments have you made? 158
* How many comments have you received? 134
* What makes you comment on someone's posts? If I have something useful to add, if they need a hug, if they mention anything to do with chicken...or parsnips...or me! *g*
* Do you comment right when you read a post, or come back and do it later? Usually right away, if I have time. I'll do it later if I don't have time, or if I'm really tired and hence really lazy.
* Are you more likely to reply to a friends post when they're upset or posting good news? Perhaps, but only because I feel I can do something useful or give great hugs (see above).
* Are you ever upset by the number of comments you receive? Yeah, I don't get enough! Comment more! XD
Friends' Posts
* Do you read all of your friends' posts completly? At the risk of being lynched, no. Most of the time I will, but if I haven't checked my lj for a while and have a lot of posts to catch up on, I'll skim read most of them. Otherwise I just wouldn't have the time. Ok, you can hate me now ;)
* Are you more likely to skip certain people's posts on your list? Oh, that's a bit mean! I think perhaps there are certain *types* of posts rather than certain people's that I'm less likely to read in detail, but that's another story ^_^
* Do you read long posts? Surprisingly, yes.
* Do you look behind cuts on your friends posts? Naturally. I have an insatiable curiosity.
Memes
* Do you always look at other people's memes? Most of the time, yes. Unless it's that really dirty, pornish looking one Ang-Squishie had once! <333
* How do you decide which meme's to take from your friends?Thing that look pretty, interesting, are likely to get me into a certain degree of trouble, or involve other people.
* How do you decide which meme's to post? See above.
* On survey memes, do you read other people's answers, or try to think of your own? If I'm going to post it, I'll think of my answers first, and then run around reading everyone else's.
Friends Groups
* How many custom friends groups do you have? At the moment, three.
* How many custom friends groups do you use on a fairly regular basis? Two.
* Rank these type of posts in the order of how often you use them: public, private, friends, custom Public, custom, private and friends.
Opinion
* When do you think other people should use lj-cuts? When posting a large number of memes or photos, or if I have to use the page down button more than three times during their post. :P
* If someone on your friends list posted something offensive to you, what would you do? That entirely depends on what they've posted and how it's offended me. If it's something that I just don't like to read or look at, I just don't read it. On the other hand, if they're being rude about me, that's another story. It is still *their* lj after all, and they are entitled to post whatever they please there, about me or otherwise, but I don't necessarily have to have them on my friends list, either.
* What is the point of having an lj? You mean it isn't just to do stuff like this? Otherwise, it's a collection point for pointless memes, graphics and photos I inflict on you, and my largely uninteresting ramblings and rants ^_^
* Why would you remove someone from your friends list? If I had a problem reading what they posted, or I felt that strongly that I wouldn't feel comfortable with them reading ANY of my posts. I suppose the day it comes to that is the day I start thinking about making this friends only...
* What would you do if someone removed you from their friends list? I'd live *g* It's not the end of the world, and it is their's to choose who they feel comfortable with reading it and who they don't. Although if it was someone I got on well with, I can't say I wouldn't be surprised.
* Where is the line between "this is my journal" and the fact that other people are reading it? Somewhere within my custom groups :)
Other
* Do use a client to update? If so, which one? No! Gosh, I meant to dl one AGES ago, and I completely forgot. Not sure if it's worth it now, with only a couple of months left. A couple of months...MOG!
* When you read "lj," do you read it as the letters l and j or as livejournal? Livejournal. That makes me sad, doesn't it? ;)
* Do you have more that one journal right now? Only if you count the blurty I don't use any more.
* Do you read journals of people not on your friends list? Often? Occasionally. Usually when they comment on posts my friends have made, and they look interesting so I pop along for a quick visit. I never add them though, I feel too rude since I don't really know them *g*
* Do you have a paid account? If so, why did you get it? If not, do you ever want one and why? *drools* I wish. I don't have one because I'm poor. I want one so I can house a ridiculously large number of avatars, as opposed to being cut off at a mere three! O.o
* Anything else you have to say about livejournal? Yes. KIM RULES! Oh, about livejournal? Um.....KIM RULES! And I like livejournal. And lj-cuts. And this survey. And KIM RULES! Did I say that already? :)
Your Patronus is the Horse! The horse is a symbol
of physical and spiritual power and is also a
bearer of burdens. He is a powerful ally
against your enemies.
That your Patronus is a horse says that you are a
strong person--strong enough to bear others'
burdens when they become too much. Be careful
to consider yourself and you will be a terrific
witch or wizard.
