There were 154 participants in the latest Who Are LAMB? survey, compared with 101 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: slightly younger (yay!), much more female (from 19% to 32%), a tad bit straighter (88% to 91%), a bit less committed, relationship-wise, more white (81% to 86%), and less American (68% to 62%). 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 97 possible, 90 provided a state. Last time, the top state was California, with 7 LAMBs; not so this go around. New York re-takes the crown, with 13, followed by the Golden State with 10 and Illinois and Utah tying for third with 5.
Of the 14 Canadian respondents, we have 2 from British Columbia, one from Nefoundland, 5 Ontario and 4 Quebec. The LAMB is certainly getting more continental, with 38% non-US/Canadaian bloggers, with 25 UK folks leading the way.
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:
