Word Meme

[the_deep_magic]

Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you, They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

Prolific: Ooh, I'm already flattered!  I guess I don't really think of myself as prolific, but that's because I'm comparing myself to people who probably have diagnosable hypergraphia.  (Fun fact: did you know beederiffic can sneeze at a keyboard and 5,000 words come out?  It's true!)  Or people who take NaNoWriMo seriously.  But even though I haven't tallied up this year's word count, it's going to be significant, especially since that count pre-May-2009 was in the zero range (not counting academic papers).  So, yeah, I'll claim this one.

Dr. Venture: This, of course, comes from my icon.  I don't even know why I picked it as my default -- I guess I thought it was obscure enough to be unique, yet still humorous to fans of turn-of-the-century German literature and Adult Swim alike.  Still haven't seen the second half of the Venture Bros. fourth season -- I'll admit, I got uncomfortable when they started routinely playing the pedophile thing for laughs.  I will be forever charmed and haunted by the tragic bromance of Henchmen #21 and #24, however.

Academia: Once my bastion, now my arch-nemesis.  Sigh... I wish I knew how to quit you.

Hair: I've got a lot of that.  Haven't measured it in a while, but it's well over 3 and a half feet -- it stops somewhere around the bottom of the back pockets of my jeans, for reference.  Not sure why I thought you'd want my ass as a reference, but there you go.  I'll keep growing it as long as it will grow, but it has slowed down considerably, and may have reached the point where necessary trims will have to keep it at this length.  People ask me how I manage it, but honestly, it's easy: I shower in the evenings, let it dry over night, and either leave it down, braid it, or put it up in a bun the next morning.  If I cut it, I'd have to deal with hair product and blow dryers and flattening irons every morning -- I can't imagine.

Charcoal: This is a relatively new one -- I started taking drawing classes a few weeks ago, and it turns out I'm not so bad with a stick of charcoal.  Who knew?  I crank out a new masterpiece every Thursday, so stay tuned!

This is fun and informative. I think it is great that you've started taking a drawing class. I had no idea about your hair. I could never grown mine much beyond my shoulder blades. Can't wait to see whatbwordsvyou give me. :D

Man, this was harder than I thought!

Hot tub, captains, divalicious, blue, naughty

I was a little nervous to do this... but I think it'll be good :D.

I feel your pain when it comes to academia... it is a love hate relationship currently falling into hate category. It's exam season and I have no time for anything.

Anyways you know I think you're fantastic and prolific is probably the most apt word out there.

Suspenders, Canada, Quintoff, humping, temperature

:oD

i never knew you had PRINCESS LENGTH HAIR. :D

well. i guess i do, too, if we're counting snow white. and it is SO manageable. it dries super quick and doesn't get tangled easily. i used to have hair down to the middle of my back, but now i can't ever go...back. to. my. no. stopping there.

are you listening to florence's new album? i can't quite get into it yet. :/

haha. i saw 'prolific' and was immediately like, "THIS."

i feel your feel about academia this moment, as well.

now, let's see what random words you can think of for someone you've never had a real conversation with. CAREFUL. I HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS. hahano.

Dude, coming up with words is way harder than I thought!

Sprinkles, comments, Sherlock, Japanese, flowers

[the-deep-magic.livejournal.com]

I think I am way overthinking it. Damn my brain!

[verizonhorizon.livejournal.com]

Do me! :)
Feel free to be sassy or sweet

[the-deep-magic.livejournal.com]

Spork, Zorro, sympathy, car wash, positive

[verizonhorizon.livejournal.com]

LOGICAL! (unlike Spock's sweater in the icon)

[rhodynne.livejournal.com]

I too have a pelt that hangs down my back and makes random people say to me...
"Why don't you give all that to Locks of Love?"
Um... cause it's my hair!
I've never developed the attitude that it's "just hair" and therefore all manner of crimes should be enacted.
Some people's children, I ask you.

If you can gleen anything from me by my casual stalking of your writing, I'd be interested to know. :-)

OMG, I get that ALL THE TIME. People try to make me feel guilty about it, like it's not PART OF MY BODY. Excuse me, but I'm sure you're not using BOTH your kidneys to their full extent. Why don't you donate one of those? ::grumble, grumble::

Knuckles, books, Lord of the Rings, candy, tattoos

Don't judge me too harshly; this was HARD.

I'll always want your ass for reference.

Duly noted.

[zjofierose.livejournal.com]

as a fellow princess-haired gal, i gotta say, i've been fantasizing about shaving my head for the new year...

also- ditto what lousy said. :D

[the-deep-magic.livejournal.com]

I have that fantasy every now and again -- more often in the winter, actually, because dealing with hats and putting on and removing coats tangles the hell out of my hair, no matter what I do with it. But I have a seriously tiny head under all this hair, and I would look like a sideshow escapee.

Man, my ass is more popular than I thought! ;o)
