5 words meme
Reply to this post 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.
Some seriously awesome words have been associated with my bymaple_mahogany
Icons. I make a lot of them. Some I don't even end up posting. I know real quality icons when I see them and I know most of mine aren't it. They don't have any... artistic value :) But they always mean something to me and probably the people who save them. And whether I go crazy on colors or words, the crazy is always inspired by something and the icon is a permanent reminder.
Also, in this fandom, I met some people through Icon-sharing and that's the best thing ever :)
I'm gonna leave Ryan for last so you can skip it, or everything but it, if you want to...
Education. I has it :) I love it actually.
Ok, my uni (tourism and culture) frustrates me because a) it turned out not be what I want to do with life and b) the professors are mostly even less interested in what they are teaching than I am.
But I keep doing it so that when it's done, I can head to Prague and hopefully post-graduate in Slavistics. I'm good at exams even though I'm horrible at studying. There's no method to my madness. :)
But other than formal education I really like to study on my own. Mostly languages. Spanish and Korean, and I like to look at different ancient writings and try to figure them out, or stare at the Voynich manuscript and try to find a pattern. (spoiler alert: there isn't one.)
And also music. I wish all the knowledge of all the music in the world was just loaded into my brain :)
But honestly, I'll learn just about anything. I taught myself HTML and CSS, playing synthesizer, I had a brief romance with weapons, I know more about Irish politics and history than any person not from Ireland should ever know because I was madly into IRA once, I read gypsy fortunetelling cards, and I know a bunch of info no one will ever need because if I find something even remotely interesting, I will probably remember it. ... Well. This was long. Seriously though, I love learning :)
Independence. I don't has it. :/ I do live alone, and distribute the money myself, and sometimes earn a little myself working, but most of my money comes from the family. I have a fixed amount I get every month. But, I'm by now feeling very bleh about it, but they insist I don't find a permanent job until I finish the uni and I'm not above exploiting that kind of liberty for a little while longer, since I am the only child... so... yeah :)
Optimism. *g* this is the second time in a week someone linked me and optimism and I never saw myself as such before. But, I am optimistic about people I love, maybe that's what does it. I have huge hope that they will end up doing the right thing, or at least the wrong thing for the right reasons. And if they hit rock bottom, I'm generally there and cheering them to get up and move. About myself though, I don't think I'm quite that optimistic.
And mmm, the second word was Ryan :) I really really REALLY like him :)
For two things really.
1) His lyrics. I don't (ironically) have the words to describe why I love them quite as much as I do but I'll try some comparing. :) The only poet I love is Sergey Yesenin. I don't know how much people know about him but he was Ryan Ross of his age, in my mind anyway, you may totally disagree. (He even had his own PWentz in form of Aleksandr Blok.) I see parallels, and they terrify (Yesenin ended his life on a great dramatic exit, writing his final poem/suicide note in his own blood) and fascinate (he was the master of words, his poems are written to be as shallow or as deep as you want them to be) me. And it's a matter of taste, I know, but the only time anyone's words pulled me in as much as Yesenin's did, was when I opened the booklet and read Ryan's.
2) His self :) Ok, so we say "he's ridiculous"... Maybe. But everything that he is, he just... is. He's gonna wear the flowery scarf if he wants to, and paint his face all green if he feels like it. He's gonna wear the polka dotted tie and the suit and drag the couch out in his back yard and he will walk out of the band he made and start a new one, of completely uncertain future, just so he could make the songs he wants to. He is brave. In the face of this whole fing army of ex fans who are shitting on him, he is still doing what he wants to do. If by sitting on the side and observing him I grow to have a quarter of his courage I feel I might really make something with my life.
