Words Meme

[rusty_armour]

Reply to this meme by yelling "words!", and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you. Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of esoteric/oblique.

Meme and words were supplied by crew4.

Paganism: I don't have a religion, but if I had to choose one then I think there's a good chance it would be paganism. I've always felt drawn to nature, so it's hard not to respect a faith that finds spirituality and meaning in the natural world. And, from what I've seen of paganism, it isn't a religion that tries to control people's lives or enforce a particular set of rules.

Cats: Quite possibly the most noble animals in creation. I simply adore them and couldn't imagine life without them. My parents had cats before I was even born and their house has never been without at least two or three of them. In fact, I seem to have inherited some kind of cat gene as my mom's side of the family is completely cat mad. *g*

Family: A necessary evil...? Just kidding. I returned last night after spending a few days with my immediate family, so today is a welcome return to peace and relative sanity. *g* However, as with cats, I can't picture my life without my family. Hell, I don't know how I could possibly cope without them. I guess you could say that they're pretty much everything.

RoS Archive: A big surprise. I first started the site because I wanted to collect as many Robin of Sherwood stories in one place as possible. I originally thought I'd be lucky to archive twenty stories. Now, the site has over 150 stories. I think it's wonderful that fans are still interested in reading and writing RoS fic after all these years.

Fandom: Feels like coming home. I always felt like an oddball when I was a kid and I don't think I ever really fit in anywhere -- not entirely and not until I discovered other geeks. In terms of my own geek-uality, fandom has played a huge role. I have an obsessive personality and that obsessive personality is almost always drawn to TV, movies, and books. When I first started going on the Internet, I realized that there were other people who were equally invested in fandom and that it wasn't something they were ashamed of. Over the years, I've made a number of good friends through various fandoms. I think fandom not only unifies fans but allows people the freedom to explore their creativity and, most importantly, their inner geek.

Paganism - I have wondered about your views on Paganism, so it was interesting to here what you thought.

Archive - It's great how the Archive has blossomed. There are so many that enjoy it now. I love to read others fic and if it wasn't for the Archive I would never have started writing again.

Fandom - Isn't if funny how we all think we're alone, but it turns out we're not :-) What would we do without the internet and fandom

Ah, so that's why you gave me that word. Well, it was a very clever way to satisfy your curiosity. *g* I'm glad it made for interesting reading.

Yes, it still amazes me how much the Archive has grown over the years. I'm happy that you've enjoyed the other stories that have been posted there and thrilled that you started writing again because of the Archive! :-D

I know. I've lost count of how many people have told me that they felt alone before they discovered fandom. I really don't know what we'd do without the internet or fandom -- and I don't want to know!

Okay. I'll bite. WORDS!!!! Hey, you said to yell. ;)

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

You're absolutely right. I did say you should yell. *g* Okay, here is your list of words:

writing
budgies
science fiction
conventions
friendship

Have fun! :-)

I don't have a religion either, and have to say that after all the time I spend out in my garden I'm really leaning towards your views.

I inherited that gene too. ;) Cats=Love

And how happy and thankful we are that you decided to start the Archive!

Fandom is a wonderful unifier, isn't it? I've made so many awesome friends through fandom, you included. ♥ :)

Oh, and don't give me words, crew4 already did, I just haven't done the meme yet. :P

You're definitely a nature lover and I'm sure you wouldn't have any problem finding spirituality in your beautiful garden -- if you haven't found it already.

I inherited that gene too. ;) Cats=Love

Yes, that definitely sums it up. :-)

And how happy and thankful we are that you decided to start the Archive!

I'm happy to hear it. The Archive has been a labour of love. :-)

Fandom is a wonderful unifier, isn't it? I've made so many awesome friends through fandom, you included. ♥ :)

Well, thank you! Of course, you're also a friend I met through fandom. :-)

Oh, and don't give me words, crew4 already did, I just haven't done the meme yet. :P

Ah, yes. I thought you'd also received a list of words from crew4. I'm looking forward to reading your meme when you post it. :-)

I've done this meme before but I don't mind doing it again, so...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORDS!!!!!

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

LOL! It was impossible to miss that! *g* Well, if you're sure you don't mind doing the meme again here are your words:

Holland
music
photography
films
travel

Let me know if you've had any of these words already and I'll supply you with new ones.

[radiogaga80.livejournal.com]

Nope, they're all new ones. :)
