Reply to this meme by yelling "bibliophile!", and I will give you five words that remind me of you; then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you. If I don't know you that well, your words might end up being a little odd...

windrider1 (and I got long-winded, sorry!):
Puppies -- Immense energy and total insanity wrapped in a cute, furry, four-legged body. A source of unconditional affection, and a perpetual ego boost. They think everything you do -- from taking a bath to tripping on the stairs -- is completely and utterly amazing and fantastic. When you come home after being gone ten minutes, it's the most interesting that's happened to them all day.
Love -- The greatest thing ever, whether romantic or familial or platonic. There's not enough of it, and it's sad that people are stingy with something that should be limitless. I think I love in the friendship sense pretty freely, although I held off in the romantic sense until I found 'the one'. I may also have far too much love of inanimate objects. ^^; (Books = love; art = love; music = love; well-decorated house = love.)
Smut -- Something I write too much of... I didn't mean to become known as a smut writer, and I think I have, and that sometimes makes me sad. On the other hand, reading smut -- the kind where the characters love each other, and it's obvious -- makes me happy. When I'm having a down day, I can get a little pick-me-up by reading something romantic.
Cloud -- Damn fine pixels on that one! I think there's an awful lot going on in his head, much more than people give him credit for. And I go a bit rabid when people dismiss him off as 'emo'. (WTF does that even mean, anyway? That he angsts too much? If your home town is destroyed, your mother killed, and your secret crush stabbed by your childhood hero; and then you spend four years in a tank as a 'specimen', only to escape because your best and only friend sacrifices himself for you; and then you contract a deadly disease for which there is no known cure... THEN you might be in a position to judge what level of angst is appropriate, and can start cutting people off at the bar.)
Writing -- both the dream and the nightmare? Some days writing is a lot of fun, and others it's a chore. On both, there's a need or want to write... but some days I seem able and others not. Some days the words come, and others I'm a blank slate. And, lately, there've just been a lot of days when I feel like my writing isn't good enough, and I should just scrap everything and go back to my rock. But... I've wanted to be a writer -- published, on shelves at the bookstore -- since I was about... twelve. Maybe I'll get there someday. As long as Don (of Depression) leaves me the hell alone!

Date: 2010-02-23 04:17 am (UTC)From:Cloud: Spiky hair to defy the elements! Quiet, complex and fascinating. I like the quiet ones because they tend to have more interesting things to say when they do speak. You don't have to weed through senseless words because they don't use any. Cloud is that way.
Dub: No thank you. If I have to endure another awful dub.... it'll be too soon!
Writing: My escape. Whether it's the sensation of dipping you pen in the ink bottle and sliding the tipped pen across raw paper or the clicking sounds on the keyboard, they're equally therapeutic to me.
Cutscenes: Good! I'm glad I don't get to inadvertantly kill myself by trying to be too careful and just have to watch.
WAFF: as long as it's not so sweet my gums start to bleed and they're my favorite ship... yes please!

Date: 2010-02-25 08:21 pm (UTC)From:I think I know which way you meant--but suppositions are just that--suppositions. (Me speaking): I had a rock when I was a teenager and the world hated me about as much as I did. Thank the gods for that rock. It was on a bluff, away from home, but not so far away that I couldn't get there easily. When I stood on it, the winds would pound into me, and sometimes it felt as if they could knock me backwards and off my rock. The best times, and the times I needed it most, were early spring in that northern place. The snow would still be in shaded places, but buttercups and bluebells would be blooming. The March winds would howl down from Canada, but after being couped up all winter with a hairtrigger family, those winds would scour out a lot of my teenaged angst. I could see forever. It's still my mental safe place and I go there when I need a time out. Houses have been built on all sides of my rock now, it's been much more than half a lifetime ago. I live half the country away. When you said 'go to my rock', whatever way you meant it, that's where you sent me, and I hope your rock nurtures you like mine still does me. Funny thing about rocks, it just occurs to me--they lift us up above where we usually are and they can shelter us like a womb. And of course, puppies love to climb over rocks and lovers can sit (or lay) on them ..... How did you do that--send me away like that? The power of Tae! thx mc

Awww, I like the 'love' reply!! ♥
Smut--you do NOT--I repeat NOT--write too much. If anything not enough!! **is a greedy wanker** And I don't think of you as a smut writer. i do think of you as a romantic writer, and maybe that's not what you were going for... and you always manage to perk me up on a bad day!
Cloud: **drool** Yeah...
As for the writing--100% with you on that.
