Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, posting without content
--T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Bloggers"

1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.

From fishy1:
1) when did you discover polyamory?

As a concept? I don't even remember. Probably sometime after I started college, almost certainly by the end of my second year at Tech.

As applicable to me? Late in the evening of November 25, 2005. I'd been kicking the idea around for about three months before my Moment of Clarity.

2) which traditional family holiday do you dislike the most?

Christmas for sheer volume of bad memories. Thanksgiving is a close second, since it has the poor taste to interfere with my birthday on occasion.

3) which is least attractive to you on other people; dyed hair, piercings (other than ear) or tattoos?

Hm. Dyed hair doesn't really bother me, and neither do tasteful piercings or tattoos. But it's a lot easier to have too much metal than too much ink. I guess that means "piercings."

4) have you considered body modification of any kind for yourself?

Every so often I think about getting a Jazz Fish tattoo.

5) if you were to go stark, raving, irrevocably mad, which form of insanity would you prefer?

Blergh. The kind where I have no clue as to my actual surroundings. I spent about half an hour in a military psych ward as a teenager, and that cured me of any desire to experience madness.

I go out looking in parked cars
For somebody famous to kidnap and love
I'll beat off the army with a tennis racket

... That's my whole plan (But I keep it upstairs)

Keep it upstairs for the grand finale
I keep it upstairs

Gonna be a blank slate
Gonna wear a white cape
(But I keep it upstairs)

so many songs I like... how about...

... but someday I'll steal your car and switch the gears,
and drive that Cherokee straight off this trail of tears

"Most witches don't believe in gods. They know that the gods exist, of course. They even deal with them occasionally. But they don't believe in them. They know them too well. It would be like believing in the postman."

You're so popular, I almost feel bad piling on.
This sentence has a point... does that mean it doesn't meet the above criteria?

Are you gonna live your life wondering,
standing in the back, looking around?
Are you gonna waste your time thinking,
how you've grown up, or how you missed out?
Things are never gonna be the way you want
words are gonna get you acting silly
Things are never gonna be quite what you want
even at 25 you gotta start sometime

the heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child
put my life in a box and let my imagination run wild
pour the cement for my feet
the heart and the mind on a parallel course
never the two shall meet...
