Five Things Meme
Comment to this and I'll list five things that come to mind when I think of you. Then post in your LJ with elaborations on the subjects given.
I volunteered and these are the five things that come to Sampada's mind, when she thinks of me
1. Birds - have been a part of my life ever since i was tiny. I recall being told that one of my first words was "Payayayayyaa" which is a close approximation of the word for Pigeon.Pigeons, and sparrows nesting in my (then open) window boxes have been a close memory of mine for the last quarter century. Even now, with the "Towers of Mordor" blocking my view of the sunrise/moonrise, i still listen for the multitonal tweeting of the little black bird with the long twitchy tail.
The very concept of letting go and soaring, that is what attracts me the most to birds. That and the very embodiment of melody (for some) and chaos (for others)
2. Stephen King - hate him. love him. commercial. scary. I discovered his books once in passing through a airport bookshop (where i spent most of my younger years discovering books, before Oxford and Crossword). Of late, he has fallen silent. Not really, although he did pen "Cell" and another book i saw in passing, the title for which i forget [EDIT] Its called "Lisey's Story [EDIT] ... "The Dark Tower" that will be a high point in his works.
I didnt like his work on a particular novel which had aliens emerging from random rectii (sic?)...
Read "It", "Salem's Lot", "Desperation", "Regulators", "The Stand" , "The Shining","Bag of Bones", "Dark Half","Four Past Midnight","BLack House".
Stephen King guarantees you plenty of nightmares.....

3. Rains - I miss them when they arent here. I miss them when they are on their way out. I do NOT miss them when stuck knee deep in sewage water. I love the smell they bring at first. I do not love the smell that occurs when they hang around for 3 months. I love the washed look of the trees, and the sunshine through the hills when the rain is falling. I am unsure about what i feel about mushrooms and toadstools. I worry when they are late. I worry when they are absent.
4. Computers - Would i even be writing this meme if Computers didnt exist? or i was computerphobic? Computers ensured i met most of the wonderful people i know today. Heck i'd have missed meeting the Companion on my Sea of Life if it werent for computers! When they are a tool for my PHB's hitting me I dont enjoy them, but a lot of work and play in life is linked to computers !
5. Confessions - That is what my blog has been about mostly. The weight of endless confessable whatsits that sit on my head in the offline world have found free flight in this LJ outlet.
lastly, I confess that I love every one of my commenters :) and my Readers, that silent majority!
