Words meme, compliments of captainq
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.
1. Curtis
To my recollection (which is far from perfect, but it's all I have), I have known three people with the name Curtis, all three I have met through WBU. One was a guy covered in tattoos who seemed like a really great guy, but I never saw him around much, but I remember he was highly spoke of. The other two are friends of mine. One a soldier in the army whom I got to know up until he got his Master's degree and moved out of state years ago. Great guy, pretty timid, but hard working and full of lofty goals that I think he is very well capable of achieving. Also, gifted musician. The man is full of complexity that's difficult to notice, much less delve through, because of massive fortifications that usually keep out unwanted guests from his inner self (i.e. damn near everybody). The other Curtis is a fellow worker for Wayland who is obviously a mass of complexities, but employs mechanisms that are much more slippery and full of trickery to keep out all the unwanted guests from his inner self. In many ways, he's a complete antithesis of the army Curtis.
2. Fun
Fun is subjective. What I find fun others will find dull, drab, or even a complete waste of time, and vice versa. Generally, the things I find fun are things that spark my imagination: games, shows, music, and books.
3.Writer
A writer must be well disciplined to be effective in his/her craft. I have not been all that disciplined, preferring more instantly gratifying pursuits. A horrid failure indeed. Despite the intent to do otherwise, there are way too many shinies I turn to look at.
4. Honorable
If I say I have honor, I'm quickly given examples on how I have not had honor. If I say I do not have honor, I'm quickly given examples on how I have had honor. Following a code of honor, especially when you don't really know what that code is, is a rather tricky thing, and sometimes it's even easy, convenient, sometimes even necessary to completely ignore it, and sometimes, even that would be the honorable thing to do. Doing the honorable thing isn't always as simple and as easy as it looks, and I sure haven't done my utmost to do so.
5.Trustworthy
I have a very open blog. One might make a conclusion that I'm a open book waiting to be read, but I liken it more unto an iceberg in dark waters. Yeah, you can clearly see it's an iceberg, but what isn't so clear is how very little is actually sticking above the water. That is all you need to know.
