- I will then give you 3-5 words that remind me of you.
- Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

sweetxtc666 gave me these words: Music, Baking, Art, Generosity, Individuality.

Music is an easy one. If you know me at all you know I'm a music fiend. :D As of this moment, my iTunes collection contains 19,028 tracks. That's 51 days and 7 hours of nonstop listening. My covers collection alone tops 2650 songs; the count is a little fuzzy because I categorize acapella covers as acapella, not as covers, so it might actually be pushing 2700 songs. My five most played songs are A Lack of Color by Death Cab For Cutie (700 plays), I Love You. Let's Light Ourselves On Fire by the Mountain Goats (656 plays), Such Great Heights as covered by Benjamin Costello (yes, Elvis Costello's son. 478 plays), the Hedwig version of Wicked Little Town from the Hedwig and the Angry Inch soundtrack (470 plays), and The Trapeze Swinger by Iron and Wine (459 plays).

Right now my last.fm stats are all fucked up because I set it to also register my iTunes from my netbook, which Rachael uses and all she plays is shitty country music so it looks like I suddenly developed really bad taste. I'm just too lazy to fix the problem, and wayyyyy too lazy to delete every track that I haven't actually listened to myself. Nobody actually pays any attention to my last.fm, so it doesn't really matter, I guess.

Last year I put up a song a day as sort of an advent calendar treat thing. I think I'm going to do that again this year. I haven't been sharing as much music as I used to and that's sadmaking.


Baking is something I need to get back in the habit of doing. I used to bake a lot, but I've kind of slipped off that lately because, well, I've slipped off doing a lot of things that used to make me happy. And baking does make me happy! It's the only kind of science I enjoy: mix things together, apply heat, nom. :D Mostly I like baking cookies and brownies/blondies, but I've been known to try my hand at cakes and pies from time to time. I make a mean cherry bar. Hell, I should make cherry bars now so I can have some for breakfast tomorrow...


Art is not really something I have too much to do with, honestly. My own artistic abilities (aside from the literary) are pretty negligible. I can't even draw a decent chibi. I certainly appreciate the art others make, I just don't make much of it myself. Aside from, like, icons, which I take a pretty minimalistic approach to so probably shouldn't couint either.


Generosity is something I try to show as often as I can. I like sending stuff to people and doing stuff for people and generally making myself helpful and useful and giving people things. It's better to give than receive and all that jazz. It really doesn't take a lot of effort to make people happy, so why not put the effort in? This is something I don't get about the world.


Individuality is something I am glad I possess, because if the world had more than one of me, it would be exponentially more depressing. No but seriously, I just do my own thing, because trying to be other people doesn't work and leads to more appointments with my therapist. Being me isn't that bad. :D


Another meme, stolen from candlewaxdreams:
Name a fandom, and I'll tell you three pairings I love, two pairings I'd consider shipping and one pairing I hate.

TV was really good tonight. I'm going to be watching BBT as soon as I finish this post... so this post is done now. :D
