Words!!!
Mots a le petemonster
Russain and SCIENCE!!! - Taken as a pair they're indicative of my personae of larger-than-life excess. I was never much good at creating believable characters (or indeed seriousness in general) and overblown ridculousness often became my modus operandi. It seemed to work out alright.
As to what it says about me that 2/5 words that represent me are about the pinnacle of my idiocy, I don't know, but I hope it means fun rather than irratating.
Negotiator - Debating, Union Politics, Getting Mike to buy stuff and artsy discussions on the number 2. I talked a lot and, to some extent, had to put my will on others and I 've been told that I'm moderatly good at it by a number of people, although my tab scores may disagree. But the word isn't domineering or tyrant, so I can only assume that it's down to be able to control a drunken Dave and talk my way into University and out of exams.
I'd like to think that this is a positive thing to be remembered for the ability to resolve conflicts and convince people in a friendly, or at least peaceful manner. Compared to many of the Lancaster crew, I place a very high value on the spoken word and I'd take this as one of the highest compliments available.
Animu - The ties that bind and the links that separate. Many a night, Petemonster and I spent on the sofa, watching and discussing the animu, with a mug of tea in hand. New Season night and marathons and weekly episodes, we did it all and we did it together. Why us? Because we were, to be honest, elitist jerks when it came to the subject. We had fairly exacting standards and wouldn't abide what fell below them. This meant that we struggled in LUMAS, where most of whats shown targets the lowest common denominator, we enjoyed each others company and he had a terabyte server next to the TV. I still vividly remember watching the 2nd half of TTGL in one sitting and being pumped for a week.
We had our disagreements. He couldn't understand what could be worthwhile in a show about making bread (It's a brilliant satire of the shonen tournament genre) and I still can't stand Evangelion, but on the whole our tastes agreed nd we had more than a few nights of entertainment.
Precise - This one got me a bit. I've always seen myself as clumsy and often careless, traits that often run counter to physical and intellectual precision and my schedule is rarely kept making me as good a model of temporal precision as the trains. On the other hand, I do pick my words carefully and value the meanings of things as much as the ease.
I'm not sure what this says about me. Precise can imply care and conceit. A master artisan is precise, as is the efreet punishing a poorly worded wish, and I have a feeling I tend towards the bastardy end of the spectrum. Never having thought of myself in such a way leads to self conciousness.
