Yet another in a long series of diversions in an attempt to avoid responsibility...

[mijan]

Meme stolen from duskspoken , but seen on quite a few friends' journals by now.

Pick one word from each pair that you think describes me the best and comment with your choices. Then copy this and post it in your own journal to see how your friends view you.

ETA: And now that I've gotten a bunch of responses, I'm going to give my own selections, and (for some) WHY:

* dominant or submissive: Dominant
* logical or intuitive: Logical, but I strongly supplement logic with intuition.
* social or loner: Social.  Very social.  But I can also be highly independent, and while I prefer being around people, I stand on my own.
* kinky or vanilla:  Kinky.
* cute or sophisticated:  A very odd blend of the two.  I guess "cute" most of the time, but it depends on which face I need to put forward.
* kitten or puppy:  Puppy.
* warm flannel sheets or sleek satin:  Flannel.  No question there.
* leader or follower: Leader.  I follow when the situation calls for it, but actually, I have to make a concerted effort in most cases not to automatically assume the lead.  I don't want to be perceived as "pushy."
* quiet or talkative:  Talkative.
* spontaneous or planned: Spontaneous, but I can plan things thoroughly and quickly. 
* teddy bear or porcelain doll:  Teddy bear.  Nothing "porcelain doll-like" here.
* hiking or window shopping:  Hiking
* tequila or vodka:  Bourbon.  :D  (Bonus points to the people who wrote that.)
* top or bottom: Top.
* bare foot or shoes:  Socks.
* jeans or slacks: Jeans.
* tender or rough:  Rough, but tenderly so.  Yeah, I'm an enigma.
* aware or dreamy:  Aware, but I have my moments.  I'm a daydreamer when I can be.
* nerd or jock:  Both.  Yes, I am an academic, and a geek... but I played varsity and intercollegiate sports.  I was also a Soldier, and I like physical competition.  Sorry, there's no way I could choose one or the other.
* brains or brawn:  Brains first, brawns to back it up.
* common sense or book smarts: I use my book smarts to back up my common sense.

ARGH! Stop making the world smaller! First lily_fayline and now duskspoken, I know both of them from a lj community. You are freaking me out hon! ;)

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Hehehe... fandom circles overlap all over the place, hun! LOL!

[destinyfroste.livejournal.com]

But it is FREAKY!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. Maybe, but I like freaky!

* brains or brawn

I went through with just my gut reaction in about thirty seconds. Some of them I didn't pick because they both said "Pick me!" equally. For the booze one--I don't know anything about booze, except that it's generally pretty nasty.

You clearly know me quite well, actually! And the ones where you couldn't decide... are ones where I couldn't quite decide either. And I don't like tequila OR vodka, but I'm quite fond of bourbon. :D

[lap-otter.livejournal.com]

Ah, see, if I'd had to guess an alcohol for you, I'd have said mead, specifically homemade mead 'cause storebought is crap. This is the sum total of my boozeducation.

A lot of why I could decide some was reasoning. For example, tender or rough--well, you're a dom, which is in some ways naturally rough, but even when a dom is being rough with their sub it's tender because that's what the sub needs. Brains or brawn--well, you're brilliant, do you need more people telling you that? but then also you were in the Army and you're pretty buff.

Probably I will hijack this meme and stuff it into my last good things entry.

Is it weird that my answer to most of these is "both?"
