Another Chance To Talk About ME

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.. ([livejournal.com profile] 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.

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?")

Okay, the last one's a little bit of a cheat, since it's really a blanket word, but I've been interested in seeing what you've written about how it resurfaced in your life and what you think of it.

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.
