This meme's actually pretty fun. :3 I like the countdown aspect of it, somehow.

Day 1: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day 2: Nine things about yourself.
Day 3: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day 4: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day 5: Six things you wish you'd never done.
Day 6: Five people who mean a lot to you (in no order whatsoever).
Day 7: Four turn-offs.
Day 8: Three turn-ons.
Day 9: Two emoticons that describe your life right now.
Day 10: One confession.


1. Love. I tread a strange line with love in my mind... it's wonderful, it's lovely, it defines a huge part of who I am, but I'm well aware, too, of the grandiosity it's given sometimes. It isn't perfect. Firstly, it is a real physical thing, it's not a magical emotion that necessarily arrests your heart forever. You can fall out of love. It's also not a panacea; love is beautiful, but it can't fix all your problems. A meaningful relationship can go a long way in making someone happy, but there's no reason to expect it to remove the effects of traumatic events from your life, or to even improve your self-esteem for certain. That being said, I feel my life would be nothing without it.
2. Entropy, and endings... but also the reality of beginnings, and their origins.
3. My, uh, particular taboo kink, especially the more significant (but less represented in my gallery) maternal version of it... -<.<-; Mommies, in other words. It honestly is more about the archetype than any actual relation (that just makes it kinkier), but more and more I've been finding it oddly more significant to me than I realized. That kind of relationship (again, the archetypal mother/son roles, not necessarily any actual relation) as romantic is just something I find really strangely sweet and even very comforting, through the naughtiness. I don't want to get too Freudian here (especially with most of his work being disproven and studied more by English majors than psychology students), but I can't help but wonder if it's relevant that I have such an awful relationship with my own mother.
4. Medicine! It's so fascinating, so inspiring. I love to read about new medical developments and the science behind drugs and treatments. Unusual diseases/disorders and how we might treat them, and our incredible ability to actually eradicate diseases completely at times! It's all so beautiful, frightening, and amazing.
5. How I can be a better person. I worry a lot about my flaws... one of which, ironically, is neurosis. ^^;; I want to be an open-minded and accepting person, I want to be good to people and help them. I know that I can be—besides neurotic—overly sensitive, clingy, far too curious for my own good, or a poor teacher of rights and liberties that I believe in. And I accept that some of these are simply the other side of the coin to an attribute that I feel is a strength. But that doesn't mean I can't or shouldn't try to improve upon those flaws.
6. How to get back into the habit of writing, and what I want to write, and what I want to do with my work.
7. The people I care about... you are always on my mind.

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
Cause you're not where you belong
...inside my arms~♥
