reader poll

do we hate this new look? i'm not sure about it yet, i think i might change everything but the titles to black. changes of this sort do affect you, so i'd like to know how you feel. odds are i won't change anything right away, because it's such a ruddy pain in the arse, but take some time to think about it and voice all of your opinions, positive or scathingly negative. i honestly want your take, because nowhere am i more the antithesis of the stereotypical gay male than in my utter inability to pull a room together.

postscript, 10:45 PM: forget that about it taking a while, i've already started moving things. but please do leave your input.

    I miss the Dogshitter Wants little pink avatar guy. Other than that, I can live with it.

    he'll be back. at the moment, sadly, this image is far more representative of my state of mind.

    I like the new changes. I even like your new avatar. I am skeptical of the pencils though. They need erasers! Nothing scares me more than a pencil without an eraser.

    but they say "arsehole." how can you be afraid of a pencil that says "arsehole"? besides, they don't have erasers for a reason: i ain't takin' none of it back.

    I don't trust a pencil with arsehole on it either. How do I know you didn't put arsehole on the pencil because that's where you are going to stick it? I damn well know I don't want a pencil in my arsehole. So I feel a little uneasy around pencils with no erasers and the word arsehole written on them. It just has a bad day written all over them.

    I miss the old avatar too, but I could get used to this layout.

    I think I liked it better when it was gayer.

    Why do the pencils say "arsehole"?

    I miss the green. I can't tell if I really liked that design more or if I'm just afraid of change.

    is it less gay? i think it's more masculine, or at least more male. maybe it's more six-year-old male, and i guess that isn't all that masculine. if i could figure out how to make the banner green instead of red, i probably would. but i can't, so that's that.

    the pencils came that way. sometimes i think i'm mean in this blog, or at least on the self-righteous side, so i guess in an effort at self-defense i am calling myself a pretentious arsehole before someone else can do it, so i can pretend i sound that way on purpose.

    no one's more afraid of change than i am, spine, but change happens nonetheless. i am forcing myself to face my fears, because . . . well, because.

    dina, you crazy. ain't no one got your sexy; it's been right there in your back pocket the whole time, glowing like hot coal. think about whipping sexy out--or lending it to me.

    I was just razzin ya about your banner, JP. I think the changes are great. In fact, I tried looking for the cool pencil banner for my page, but I couldn't find it.

    i built that banner with my own two hands. no candy-ass shortcut tools for me--i htmld this sucker all the way.

    so, that sounds like several reluctant "yea"s and spine's sad, nostalgic "nay." and because this is a democracy (sorry, spine), that means i can leave it the way it is, at least for a little while. thanks, guys.
