And everybody likes dinosaurs. It is a proven FACT

D is also for these 10 things that I am:

Depressive - not actually horribly depressed right now, which rocks, but definitely prone to it, on anti-depressants which rock and are made of win, and likely to be so for the rest of my life

Drummer - I haven't done much drumming for ages, actually, but I *heart* drums and should do more.

Dreamwidther (widener? I have no idea) - I like it here, and LJ has turned to suck

Deadjournalist - I post more there than here, in fact

Dominant - I'm not big on a BDSM identity for me, but when I play I am 90% domme. Well, usually...

Determined - some have said bloody minded. I use bloody mindedness where other people use gumption

Dreamer - not that I'm a wide eyed idealist but that I like to dream and remember my dreams and have interesting (to me) adventures when I'm asleep.

Discombobulated - splendid word, also true

Disabled - Along with a lot of people in similar situations, I don't actually like to think of my mental health problems as a disability, but legally they do count, and I love me some reasonable adjustments

Descriptive - well Duh!

Trying to catch up on my alphabet soup - here are some words beginning with E that describe me.

1. English - as a Guardian reader of Irish heritage and living in Scotland I don't LIKE to call myself English, but it is also very much where I come from

2. Economical - I am generally very sensible with money. In fact I am the second most sensible money person I know (the first being my Mum)

3. Elevated - I live on the 4th floor :-) I also think people have an overly high opinion of me sometimes

4. Endomorphic - even at my thinnest I run to fat, and that's OK because it's what I am

5. Eigne - which means first born, apparently.

6. Ex-Catholic. Ex, not 'lapsed' that you. The Catholic church was a terrible thing for me, BUT I also get cross when people say inaccurate things about it. In this country anti-Catholic rhetoric is often coded anti-Irish (or was as I was growing up) and in any case I hate ignorance

7. Egalitarian - I tend towards socialism in my politics and fairness in my cake cutting. Just don't ask me to divide things in thirds - years of being the oldest of three squabbling kids gave me a horror of that

8. Evolved - this is hardly a big deal for me personally, as I am exactly as evolved as every other living thing on the planet, but it is an important part of my scientific view of the world

9. Educating myself - I have a good education but it is not a completed process. It never is.

10. Employed - not something I had expected for a long time after University, and it will be another few years til I have finally, been employed for longer than I was unemployed, which is A Thing
