memes where i get to talk about myself rock!

LJ Interests meme results

1. broken things:
   sometimes, i think i'm one. sometimes things are more interesting broken than they ever were whole.
2. connotation:
   um...language is a big, funny game, and no one knows the rules.
3. foucault:
   in college, i was crazy. he helped. in the making me more crazy way.
4. imperative voice:
   half of the poems i love are written in the imperative voice.
5. lost things:
   kind of just like the broken ones, actually.
6. nouns:
   not as good as verbs, but still pretty nifty.
7. prices paid:
   it's hard to determine if things are worth the price you paid for them. not so much a gallon of milk as whether or not it's okay that i don't write poetry anymore but i don't cut myself anymore.
8. sex:
   pretty obvious, i know. but it is still one of my interests, in the sense of things i'm fascinated with and by. not just having it personally, but talking about it, and how people talk about it or why they don't talk about it, and why people have it (the non-orgasm reasons) and what they'll do to get it and all that stuff.
9. symbols:
   it's really hard to explain my interests, apparently. but this is just like the nouns and the connotations and the foucault and the imperative voice. more of the big funny tricky game thing.
10. waking:
    mostly, this comes from that roethke poem i can't get out of my head ever. but it's also about the transition from thinking "shit, not again" every time i woke up to thinking "neat, Light!" every time i wake up. (the phrase "fucking cats" doesn't count as a thought for this definition of thinking)

i really enjoyed reading this.
i've typed several sentences and erased them, trying to explain the impression you give off to me, but i can't seem to do it without feeling totally nerdy. so, regardless, i'm glad you're on my friends list. you're one of the more interesting ones.

thank you.
you rock.
i wish i could tell you that every day.
but i always get intimidated when i try to come up with a comment for your lj entries. it's the new dialing six digits and then hanging up. i start to type and then give up and don't say anything.

me, as dork said this.

thanks for clarifying. i figured it out, but your clarification totally gave me a fit of giggles.

sounds like the two of us are on the same wavelength at least. so i guess the next step would be to get over ourselves and just say what we have to say. :) i want to say, don't ever feel like you have to be intimidated by me - i know it's not that easy... i absolutely am not out to judge anybody, and i just get a huge kick out of those little moments of connection with someone. the only people i really talk to on any sort of regular basis are my dad and my fiance. i'm up to hear anything from anybody, whether it comes out completely the way it should or not.
i also want to say that i appreciate your emotional honesty in your entries... how you work to acknowledge all sides of what's going on in/with you. i feel like having the opportunity to witness your growth and exploration helps me find news ways to work with myself. it helps me feel like i'm okay too, even if it all doesn't make sense all the time.
but yeah! enough from the peanut gallery.
i don't know when it starts, but happy vacation!
