there are places i remember...

[bluelovesorange]

Did you ever get the feeling that there was a post in the back of your mind, hovering like an anxious butterfly, and on the wings of it you'd written all your best thoughts, the ones you'd never share unless you were talking to your best friend - and (s)he could decipher all the blank spaces in between your words?

And instead of that, you drank from the bucket of shallow and decided that green and yellow socks were in fact, a valid fashion choice (if not on this plane of existence, somewhere else). I've been feeling that way about posting lately - even though it's my journal and I write primarily for myself, I sometimes feel that I'm not entertaining enough, I'm not intelligent enough for my readers (to presume I have readers).

So, as the dedicated follower of fashion I am - I'm cribbing from wisteria_ and saava lurker/unlurk/re-acquaintance survey/poll spirit.

Tell me how you really feel, I welcome it.

I realize that icons are a common gateway - but what's the staying power?


[Poll #154951]

Make that four questions about *this* LJ, and six questions about yourself.

5. What's your name, or alias, if you prefer.
6. What's your favorite thing about LJ, and your least favorite thing about LJ?
7. 10 spaces, yo. What the hell is up with that icon limit?
8. If you could be someone else...firstly, would you - secondly, who would you be?
9. Music is a part of my being. Everyone has their Elvis Costello, Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos, REM, the Beatles - I have all these but mostly I have Tom Mcrae. What author/musician/anyone changed your life or impacted it in some fashion - inspiring you to create (whether it's art, music, or writing)?
10. Do you have what it takes to be America's Next Top Supermodel?

I'm sorry, that was a FAKE question. You know, much like the 'news-conference/report' about Miss Spears' virginity and the apparent lack of it.

the Real Number Ten -

10. What's your sign, and do you believe this is accurate?

5. What's your name, or alias, if you prefer.
Angie. Aaaangie. When will those clouds all disappear?

6. What's your favorite thing about LJ, and your least favorite thing about LJ?
People. For both questions. I love meeting new people, but I hate not having time to be friends with everyone cool I meet, and I hate hurting people's feelings if I just don't want to read their journal.

7. 10 spaces, yo. What the hell is up with that icon limit?
At least it's more than three.

8. If you could be someone else...firstly, would you - secondly, who would you be?
I don't know. About either part. I mean, I often say I *looked* like someone else. But in the end I don't think I'd want to give up my mind. Or my family.

9. Music is a part of my being. Everyone has their Elvis Costello, Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos, REM, the Beatles - I have all these but mostly I have Tom Mcrae. What author/musician/anyone changed your life or impacted it in some fashion - inspiring you to create (whether it's art, music, or writing)?

Tori, Tori, Tori. I kind of tend to associate periods of my life with different Tori albums. Not necessarily at the times which they actually came out, but the times that I listened to them constantly.

And she's obviously impacted my icons! *g*

10. What's your sign, and do you believe this is accurate?

Leo. It sort of fits me. I definitely have an ego, but I am so NOT life of the party girl. I'm sit in the hallway and cry girl. Don't know which sign fits that.
