Five words
Jun. 24th, 2009 11:58 pmA meme from kjpepper and justkimu. They gave me five words that they associate with me and asked me to talk about them.
hair: I always used to wear my hair fairly long even as a kid, but I last had my hair properly cut in January 2000. I like the feel of my hair; it's one of the things I actually rather like about my body. But perhaps if I ever start going bald I may shave it all off like Stuart Davis.
English: Do you mean the nationality or the language? I love playing with the language. As for the nationality, I met a deaf person a while ago and realised that they were the first person I'd met in six years who didn't immediately pigeonhole me because of the island on which I was born (so of course I tried to tell them anyway).
Fin: Not just my life partner, but also my inspiration.
messy: Interesting choice of word. I could probably make money selling books on how messiness should be accepted as a way of life and a challenge, the way people do for change.
poly: I love many people. Apparently this is not the default and needs a label.
England: already had this one. I was born there, I love going back, I miss it very much.
livejournal: I have had one since fairly early on (I was one of the first 50,000) and for only the second time in my life, keeping a diary has since become part of my self. (And it's been a privilege to play a small part in LJ culture.)
tree(s): trees are important to the planet because they refresh the air, and to me because they have the same effect on my mind. And they are just as important to people I love, which makes them doubly and trebly important to me.
naps: why did you include that? I don't take naps.
language: a lifelong obsession of mine, in very many ways.
test: test?!
You should feel free to give me five words to talk about, or ask for five words of your own.
