Words, words, words, words. Words.

[cyrano]

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you. *edit* Or just five words that I want to see your associations with/thoughts about. Or you give me five of your own, and I write about those. We're all about flexibility in this journal.

RightKindofMe gave me words to start this whole thing off:


Honesty
I try very hard, outside of the occasional diplomatic redirect, to hold to the truth. I don't always meet the standards I set, but given my standards I ought to be satisfied.

Questions
I'm full of questions. Sometimes it's idle curiosity. Sometimes it's not so idle. I think that one of the only reasons to become a History major (which I did) is because you've got questions. I ask a lot of questions to define situations that I'm uncertain of. I probably ask too many questions in these situations, because I'd rather be certain before I start than to make inferences and trust my own judgement.

Vanilla
I'm definitely not as vanilla as I was when I met her. And she definitely played a part in that, although not as directly as I might have liked. (: I've admitted to myself (and then to others) that there are certain things outside the mainstream that I like. And then I wrote about them. But I haven't acted on them much.

Gentle
Unlike honesty, I don't think I've ever criticized myself for not being gentle enough. Perhaps occasionally too gentle. I don't have a whole lot to say about this myself--it's kind of like asking a fish about water, I guess.

Ambition
This wasn't one I expected to see--she surprised me with the final entry. I don't see myself as an ambitious person--I'm not big on confrontation or competition. Advancement mainly serves the purpose of giving me more resources so that I can stop trying to advance and work on the things that really interest me, things like learning to play guitar, acting, singing, learning, telling stories, dancing... I have a lot of side hobbies.

I paid $28 for 200 ml and that lasts me forever, practically. I use a dime-size dollop for my hair. How long is your hair?

Not very, any more. This icon shows (awkwardly) my hair. It's up off the collar now.

You won't even need that much then. One bottle should easily last you a year. I would find it a good investment, and it's not so expensive that if you don't end up using it all that you would feel overly guilty.

It's easy to use too. After washing your hair, detangle it, put a just under dime sized dollop of product in your palm, distribute evenly through wet hair, and blowdry or comb and airdry. ;)
