Thanks to rustica for this one!


You're Virginia!

Part of the old school, you like both historical sites and crazy
amusement parks. You like saying the word Commonwealth but couldn't really explain the
concept or how it applies to your life. You like five-sided shapes, five-cent pieces,
and possibly anything else having to do with the number five. Every now and then, you
discard chaff from yourself that you just don't feel you need. And since you've been
wondering... yes, there is a Santa Claus.

Exmemsec is Alaska!

You're big, bulky, and extremely wild. At the same time, you're rather
cold and standoffish, even a loner of sorts. Taming you may be one of the last great
quests of the people who do manage to find you or even seek you out. So many of them
just want to plunder you for what you have of value, but there are a few, the ones
who will stick with you, that truly value your rugged remoteness. As long as no one
is spilling stuff on you, you are truly beautiful.

 You are Gwen
You think with your heart. It's maybe not the most effective way of leading, but your sensitivity and compassion are strengths when it comes to dealing with people. However, "heart" gets a bad rap these days; ruthlessness and ambition are more prized qualities. But you get the job done, and you're usually able to live with yourself the next day. Now, about that little affair with Owen...

The place I would like to visit:


I put in the term 'Dutch India', and this is the image I picked, but it is actually Jakarta, Indonesia.  The photo was taken in 1940, two years before the Japanese invasion ended hundreds of years of Dutch colonial rule.  The headline: INVAL IN HOLLAND records the fall of the Netherlands to the Germans.

While Jakarta <i>is</i> one of the places on my 'to visit' list, finding this photograph made me think also about answering this question in terms of time, as well as space.  Jakarta in 1940 would be a very interesting place to visit. (interesting times are 'nice places to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there')

Reflecting on the images I chose : I realise how many of them are text-based, or incorporate text.  I have, partly as a result of this meme, and this realisation, but mostly because the antibiotics are making me so nauseous today, spend a lot of time on flickr.

Surprised by this! I don't think I've every used this word on LJ! I was expecting 'Hand', or 'ExMemSec'.....

I am wondering if I have been critiquing capitalism in my sleep, or it's because I talk a lot about buying houses or ???? TGrahame's  FAQ explains how the haiku are generated (apparently, any two words of mine are normally followed by a html code element ...), but not how the word is chosen.

Market. It's not a bad word. I could come to embrace it. But I wish I knew why.

[Bad username or unknown identity: Shakespeare's original is slightly better in isolation, and much better in context.... ]

I agree with alitalf  that it is 2-dimensional (indeed, it says itself that it's two-dimensional.  My anarchist leanings don't show up ...
