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.
Wine
I'm afraid the first and foremost of my vices takes a large degree of my time up - or at least would if I had time for it... unfortunately a career under arms does not lend itself well to being tanked (get it?) all the time. But everything in moderation has its place and in this instance it would be the wine rack under my sink. I love wine: and I can't get enough of tasting new types and bottles and reading witty reviews and so on and so forth. And it's good for you, you know.
Women
I'm a flirt, it's true, and I don't apologize for it. There is something about a clever, witty, and seductive interplay between myself and a lovely, brilliant lady that really can't be beat...
That mixed with the fact that I quite enjoy looking at women, and you can understand why I could never truly pretend to be anything more other than completely straight. I'm rather happy there are two genders, one to perfectly compliment mine the way mine perfectly compliments it (that is as awkward a sentence as I've ever written!) Thanks ladies!
Song
Speaking of things that I couldn't live without: music and song top that list without question. If I didn't have a song on my lips or in my heart, I don't know what I'd do with myself...
Now, mind you I can't sing worth a damn (except when playing Rock Band)... but that's neither here nor there.
Tanks
I have this thing about vehicles, you know...
And vehicles that can go anywhere, crush anything and carry extremely powerful arms with them... awesome!
And despite my particular dislike for the idea of killing people... I figure I can be enthusiastic about them anyway.
Chivalry
I think my thoughts on this matter could fill a book or two, but they're best described by a quote from a song I rather like:
"I've got my head in the clouds, but at least I'm trying!"
- "Shock of the Lightning" Oasis
I regularly get asked why I act the way I do, and why in the name of fuck knights are so important to me, when they're not exactly standard fare for a twenty-eight year old boy. In any case let me tell you what it doesn't mean - it doesn't mean a way of thinking because I want to ride around on a horse or tilt at windmills with fuelharp at my side. Nor do I try and act gallantly or charming or whatever because I want to pick up girls - no that is not quite why I try and be the man I am. I'm fully aware that people aren't swayed by gallantry and being charming anymore, affection and life are too much like a business these days for my way of thinking to be helpful in the land of love or lust. No, ladies and gentlemen I act the way I do because I simply believe it to be true. As Kid Rock says "I'm no sinner, but I believe in what is right..." and yeah - I'm certainly no angel (and yeah, I fuck up,) but I figure a little bit of honour never really hurt anyone who wasn't already an idiot.
I have a memory in here, the only one tagged, of my grandfather - and if you're interested in reading it - well, maybe you'll understand what I mean. (This one: http://the-epic.livejournal.com/214593.html)
But as the quote says, the idea of being gallant and tough and a manly man protecting the world might be quite outdated, but at least - at very least - I'm trying my best to be decent.
