Another Chance To Talk About ME

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Oh, and I’ve been remiss!

Comment "WORDS" to this entry and I will comment back with five words I associate with you. Then you post this in your journal elaborating.

Here are kjpepper’s words.

Buzzcut – I love buzzes. It makes my head fun to rub (although it does seem to invite random people to come up and do just that), and it makes it a lot easier in the shower. For some reason, other people seem to think I can’t possibly actually like them.

Utah – Yes, I’m from Utah, and I’ve lived here since I was two. It’s a fabulous, beautiful state, but it’s full of crazy people. At least, one particular brand of crazy people. I’m not sure why I’m here since I’m a left-leaning liberal, but fortunately Salt Lake City isn’t entirely made up of right-wing hicks. For that, you want to go to Provo.

Conlang – I’ve been doing conlanging since I was but a wee little nerd. I think it was back when I was writing a story featuring Yoshi from Super Mario, and I decided to stick in a sentence in Yoshese. I realized that I’d have to make words that made sense, and suddenly it occurred to me that this was really fun. I was doomed.

It’s hard to count conlangs I’ve made, since degree of completion can be anywhere from several thousand words and a thorough grammar and history to a broad outline of a sound system. But I’ve got a few put together enough that I could translate a quote into one, put it in its own unique script, and tattoo it in a column down my back, so.

Currently I’m experimenting with nonverbal languages—sign languages, languages for aliens using scent and color, etc.. (gethenian may be amused to hear that my friend wants me to make up Klingon Sign Language. I imagine it would be very choppy.)

Lobot – That would be the guy with the stereo in his head who follows Lando Calrissian around in The Empire Strikes Back. He’s also dancing in my icon, taken from a clip in the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special that made my brother and me laugh so hard we fell off our couches.

Padparadscha – A beautiful pinkish-orange variety of corundum (aka sapphire). Jewelers are torn over whether that can refer to any pink-orange sapphire, or just a particular vein found in Sri Lanka. The name is derived from the Sanskrit term padma-raga, which means color of a lotus blossom. It’s the only variety of corundum other than the ruby to have its own official name. I love the color and love corundum.

Do you know me well enough for me to say WORDS yet?

WORDS. Because I'm curious as to what sort of impression I make.

There is also a pansy named Padparadscha that is brilliant orange. I love the little critter, but damn I used to get tired of writing that name on little tags! (and having people go "What the hell does this say?")

I think I still haven't done the last one of these I got months ago, so no obligation there, but if you can come up with anything, I'm game.
