The rules are: 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.
From Val:
Pop Tarts - I love Pop Tarts. Everyone has a comfort food and this is mine. I was kind of on my own a lot when I was younger and when I was little the best breakfast I could make for myself was Pop Tarts. I have grown into more mature tastes but I still enjoy my Pop Tarts. I'm afraid I still can't cook.
indie - I admire those who think for themselves. The indie culture in both music and film is a fascinating one to be a part of as either participant or spectator. It is about artistic expression and pushing the boundaries of convention, sentiments I can appreciate.
glasses - I don't simply wear them for how they look. I'm extremely nearsighted and without the glasses I usually can't see the faces of the people in the front row at a gig.
smart - I know I am! Thank you.
troubled - Is that the impression I give? That isn't my intent. I acknowledge that less than ideal events have happened in my life, but I know that I'm not the only one. Everything I have experienced for better or worse has shaped me into the person I am now. That's simply the way of life.
From Rerun:
pianos - I feel like I have been playing since I was old enough to comprehend what a piano was. I first began playing when I was four at a day care and discovered a toy piano. I haven't looked back, nor do I want to.
snuggling - You had better feel lucky that you can even use this word. Nobody else sees that part of me. I don't snuggle. But you're different.
comfort - On that note, you're the one person I feel completely comfortable around. I don't have to worry about what you think of me.
Frisbee - You hit me in the head with that stupid thing!
pants - You allow me to borrow a set of your sweat pants. They are far too large for me, but by now they are a bit of a tradition. [locked to Rerun]I don't need to post the real reason why I remind you of them. You and I both know. And I don't want to mentally scar Linus.[/locked]
From Sally:
music - Composing and playing are my true passions in life. Gigs provide me as a means to earn money while playing, but I much prefer the artistic aspect over performance.
friend - I don't know what I would do without my friends. You all are my support system. How you put up with me I have no idea.
t-shirts - I'm a thrift store connoisseur. Where else can you find so many unique things to wear for such a small price? Whenever I buy a t-shirt from there I can be certain no one else owns it.
Beethoven - What can I say that I haven't said before? He is my hero, inspiration, and a genius.
Pop Tarts - see above
From Ruby:
piano - see above
art - I live for art. While music is my biggest passion, that doesn't mean that I discount other forms of creativity. The visual arts especially have a sense of magic about them to me, most likely because they are not my forte.
intellectualism - It's interesting that you didn't pick intellect or intellectual. Intellectualism gives the connotation of someone being an elitist. I know I am, and that's fine, because I've seen the general population and I'm smarter than them.
clocks - At first I wasn't sure what you were referring to and I was about to rant about how awful the song Clocks by Coldplay is. Then I remembered! The Beethoven clock makes me smile when I see it.
the French - Arrogant when they have nothing to be arrogant about. They may have given the world art and culture at one point but now all they seem to do is complain and not shave their underarms.
