Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
Mine came from
nefariousgrey:
1. Lolita: Ah, my favorite style niche. A lovely fusion of Victorian tastes and a modern ideal of innocence. Tragically, it doesn't seem to scale up well, size-wise, but it remains my favorite. Pioneered by Japanese rock/pop bands and turned into a thriving subculture, it has a dark spot amidst the lace: snobbery is rampant. I had someone look down their nose at me (well, up at me, but you get the point) at a convention, but they moved on quickly enough when I snarled at them. I love the look, love the melding of old and new, and do my best to ignore the twits.
2. Cabbits: Cabbits are an anime-inspired fusion of cats, rabbits and high-tech weaponry. Known for amiable dispositions, love of carrots, and a propensity for goofiness, they make a good representation of me. Well, part of me. When you add in my beefy 6'3" frame, passion for large calibre hardware and volcanic temper, I was promptly dubbed 'Cabbitzilla'. The name has stuck down through the years. I do have a passionate love for carrots. And cookies.
3. Cookies: Cookies are the ultimate comfort food, as far as I'm concerned. Not necessarily for yourself; they're better still when given to a friend. Calories don't matter between friends, and everyone likes a cookie, right? Baking is fun, and I'm looking forward to being able to bake to my heart's content in the new place. Cookies, muffins, and maybe even some waffles. :) Waffles is a fun word to say, but not as much fun as cookies.
4. Anger: Yeah. The other side of Cabbitzilla. I came out of the box busted, and the years have left a legacy of anger and rage that I try (in most cases) to harness into constructive projects. It boils out from time to time and wreaks havoc of everything around me. I've gotten better over the years at control, thankfully... but I will not allow those precious to me to be threatened.
5. Endurance: I wish I knew the formula for endurance. Mostly what I manage is mostly at the survival level, at least from my standpoint. There's a long standing joke about me and immortality: I was put here to accomplish a specific set of tasks, and am stuck here until I complete them. The trouble is that nobody will tell me what they are, rendering me essentially immortal. Not invulnerable, mind, but not necessarily killable. I guess you could call that endurance. Maybe.

Date: 2009-03-05 11:47 pm (UTC)I was surprised by this because I expected you to pick some of my interests from my profile! Not sure if I will post about them, because I actually tend to avoid memes (do you still call them lemmings?) in my journal. Progress is a complicated one, and starting afresh is as confusing as it wonderful. Travelling I write about when I do, and it's hopefully going to be my career, sort-of. I'm not into the anime scene much anymore, sadly, but I still love the shows I loved, and I am still watching One Piece and NANA, when the series continues...and as for D&D and its kin, I flirted closely with it, even reading a lot of the books, but never actually got involved...

Date: 2009-03-06 12:29 am (UTC)I had picked up on your aversion to memes, but was curious if you'd respond to this one. Five points were immediately in mind... come to think about it, I never checked the interests of any of the folks tagged. Mostly my points were driven by curiousity.
As for the dress... http://www.fanplusfriend.com is where it came from. Sadly, I really do look like a ruffled black wall in it. A pity, really, as I adore the dress. In my next life I want to be 5'2" and petite. And the various bits need to be right this time, too. :p
