I didn't have enough space for questions 2 & 3, so here you go: so far, I really like the more personal posts, particularly the one about you relationship with Kali & Sharon.
I also really like the ones that might not be *so* personal but are clearly about something you feel very, very strongly about, either positively or negatively. Partly because you do a damn fine line in blistering invective, so the 'hates' are always entertaining, but more seriously, because it's a rare thing to find someone willing to be as open about their own lives as you have been throughout this so far, and I feel more drawn into that when it's about something fairly universal like relationships or violence than a more individual love or hate.
I don't like the ones based on TV shows, movies etc. so much, but I might be contradicting myself there since you can clearly be just as passionate about those as the other topics; I think my reactions to those are based on not having seen many of the shows you've talked about so far, so it's more a case of feeling like some of it goes straight over my head.
Disclaimer: I do understand that this is your gig, and there would be little point doing it if you tried to stay away from the more individual topics so to speak - I'm not suggesting changes at all, just giving you my reactions so far. I'm enjoying the hell out of this, and wanted to let you know since I don't always get around to commenting on the individual posts!
I'm enjoying the hell out of this, With all due respect to so many of the other folks on my list, you're one of the people from whom this really means something to me. I've known you for years, worked with you, called you friend, and have always had a deep respect for your mind and opinions.
And I know you're not suggesting changes, I wouldn't make'em if you were, since that sort of defeats the purpose :)
More answers, direct and indirect, in my follow-up post.
Again with the compliments! You'll give me a big head, if you're not careful. Thanks:)
Amusing sidenote: I had completely forgotten about the constant X-Men phone calls at AW, until I saw your post about ringing phones - and then it all came flooding back before I clicked on the cut-tag. I knew exactly why you had it under hates before I'd read a word!

Didn't stop me doing the poll, just didn't pick an answer for that question. :)
