Five words meme
Ghatanothoa gave me these:
Roleplaying
I can't really be bothered with this anymore, either in its formal gaming sense or more generally. I'd rather just be myself. LRP was fun for a while, but I quit when I started to prefer to do other things. Tabletop has almost always sent me straight to sleep, no matter how well it's being run. And I got sick of pretending to be someone I'm not at work and in life generally. Take me as you find me or bugger off, basically.
Speed
It may surprise many to hear that I am not a fan of speed for its own sake. What I enjoy is the feeling of acceleration (in various contexts, including rollercoasters and aeroplane take-offfs) and playing with the balance of a car through bends and over crests. Speed is a side-effect really e.g. whilst I was pleased that I got the Impreza to about 140mph before I bottled it, it wasn't the speed that I enjoyed - it was pushing it to see whether I ran out of guts before the car did. However, I am not generally a fan of going slowly as I just get bored and inattentive.
Livejournal
I enjoy reading about what my friends are doing. I also like to keep a record of things that I've done, and occasionally read back through my posts and think about those things in the context of where I am now. Sometimes I write for an audience, but more often than that I just write, and then think about whether I mind anyone else seeing what I've written. LJ is good for this, methinks.
Fear
Now this is a double-edged sword. It can both save a life and ruin it, possibly even simultaneously. I have a number of things that I am afraid of, but I try not to dwell on them lest they cripple me.
Music
I don't have as much interest in music as I used to - but then as a teenager I was pretty obsessive about it, listening to tapes every waking moment that I could get away with it and hanging out with the local bands. These days I just tend to bung the radio on rather than being bothered with recorded music, although a lot of that is down to there being a better variety of radio stations these days (well done squeezypaws!). I do love a good bit of rock music though - it has the ability to really move me in a way that few things can.
Anyone who wants five words should feel free to ask for them below. Anyone who wants to leave me another five words can also do so below, as although I read a lot of posts, I didn't want to leave comments on them all.
