There were 101 participants in the latest Who Are LAMB? survey, compared with 79 last time (though, of course, there were fewer LAMBs at that time; probably about the same level of participation overall).The results:
Compared to last time, you're: about the same age, much more male (from 69% to 81%), equally hetero-homosexual, a bit more commited, relationship-wise, and equally white. More details below - here are the full results:
I asked a few other more specific questions. For those in the US, I asked for a state. Of 69 possible, 65 provided a state. Last time, the top state was New York with 9 LAMBs; not so this go around. The USA's most populous state is representing the LAMB the most as well, with 7. Utah (??) was 2nd with 5 LAMBs, followed by Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Texas with 4, and Colorado, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York tying with 3 each.
Of the 7 Canadian respondents, we have 3 each from British Columbia and Ontario, along with one from Quebec. The LAMB is certainly getting more continental, with 25% non-US/Canadaian bloggers, compared with 20% previously, and including 12 folks from the British Isles.
Since I'm a wildly curious individual, I also asked you all just what it is that you do "for real." I'm glad to say that 100/101 people answered. Below I give you everyone's answers, with identifying information deleted, in a random, hard-to-read order (each answer is separated by a comma). Trust me, it's better than listing one per line:
