For something different, I decided to ask a couple of people close to me to give me six words that describe me and see what i could do with them. I had originally planned to ask four or five people, but almost no one wanted to cooperate (apparently afraid of offending me because scary was a word that came up often enough.)The results were as follows:
My fourteen year old daughter K:
funny
You can tell time....
Scary
Loving
Clumsy
Cactus
I'm not sure about cactus, but she explained that I am beautiful and resilient, but, well, prickly....
My ten year old son R:
mean
picky
soft
brave
R ran out of steam after just four words, but I have to agree with all four so...
Finally I asked my sweetheart B. He had the most interesting answers. Granted, he was clicking through his online thesaurus for inspiration, but he well exceeded six words. When I asked him about this he said six words just weren't enough.
B:
inquisitive
intelligent
bitchy
socially adept??
Intense
Non-traditional
Simple
Sophisticated
Qualified
Analytical
Determined
Studious
Excruciating
Proficient
Excitable
Warm
Quick
Astute
Stingy
Generous-i didn't mean stingy
abrasive
prickly
goofy
Wacky
Giddy
Ridiculous
Exhausting
Romantic
Sexy
Lovable
Horny
kind
At first I thought some of those words he gave me were questionable (honest? yes. smart to disclose? not sure.) But as we talked afterward, he explained that without any of the more difficult words, I would be just like any other woman...instead of the woman he loves. So he said he loves me for all the words that describe me, not just the good ones. I'm glad I asked...
