Maybe this should go on the relationships board, but I feel like I have dumped enough trash in it for a while. Phew someone take the garbage out!
Anyway this is about the relationship that my "name" has with each of your "names." I don't know wht you look like. I don't know what you sound like. Some of you I don't even know what gender you are. But none of that matters. I try to imagine a "face" on the "names." The face is just something that comes first to mind.
For example:
orchid (a beautiful flower)
happyflower (daisy or sunflower)
gardergirl (plants orchids and happyflowers)
bassman (either plays a guitar or likes to fish?)
declan (scottish highlander/plays bagpipes)
fairywings (something like tinkerbell)
FamesK (western outlaw for some reason?)
Dinah (Dinah won't ya blow your horn)
clearskies (partly sunny)
Phillipa (Philippine islands)
wishingstar ("When you wish upon a star...")
B2chica (tough one- girl flying stealth bomber)
madeline (cartoon girl on PBS)
Larry Hoover (guy I went to high school with)
LadyBug (uuuh....a camel)
DonBristol (NASCAR)
crazyteresa (you don't want to know)
jakeman (the "jakemeister")
Dr. Bob (any guy named "Bob")I can't write 'em all down now but if you want to know what picture comes to mind with your name, just ask me.
Love
curtm

I trust you mean "finger" in the rebellious middle finger way? This is so hilarious. If you knew me in real life, you'd know what a timid nerdy type I am.
And what picture should be associated with curtm?

Only you can determine that, not I. What comes to mind first? Everybody will have a different "picture" (or association) with my name. I hope it brings happy thought, but if not, that's ok.

LoL! Guess you've got good intuition, Curtis.

I only know one person named Curt, so I'm afraid you're stuck with his face.
It's not so bad, don't worry.

ladybug's definitely a cute little ladybug. Lots of dots, not a dark red color, but bleached to a burnt orange color. Rather unlike a camel, methinks

> Caedmon (a genus of insect)?
>Caedmon's Hymn was one thing we had to read -- aloud -- in linguistics. It's one of the oldest existing examples of written Old English, as well as one of the earliest examples of poetry written in any Germanic language.
In my Linguistics class, we all had to read one line aloud, so I not only feel warm and fuzzy whenever I see Caedmon's name on a post, I also think of the comforting blue cover of my linguistics text, and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caedmon
Now [we] must honour the guardian of heaven,
the might of the architect, and his purpose,
the work of the father of glory
— as he, the eternal lord, established the beginning of wonders.
He, the holy creator,
first created heaven as a roof for the children of men.
Then the guardian of mankind, the eternal lord,
the lord almighty, afterwards appointed the middle earth,
the lands, for men.(OK, my husband didn't know about it either. Surely I'm not the only one who remembers it?)

And I like this post a lot, too.

Our brains are funny funny things.
When I selected the posting name Madeline it was because I liked the character Madeline in the movie "interview with the vampire".
Madeline elects to become a vampire (and ensures her own death) so that she may become a permament mother to a child that will not die.
And yet, Madeline (the cartoon character) IS a child that lives her days in an orphanage without the love of a mother.
Hmmm, was I inadvertently (but of course on purpose) revealing the two conflicting sides of me? The mother and saviour of a lost child, AND the lost child itself?
I wonder what Freud would have to say about THAT!
Great thread.

Hi Curt,
You create some really wonderful threads. I don't look like Edgar Allen Poe, but I so wish I could write like he did. I look more like Dorothy Parker, ditto for what I said about writing like Poe.
I dated a guy named Curt, so you look like him. It's not an insult, he was cute. ;)
