Self-portraits

[vaneramos]

I have wanted to take a tripod and do this ever since I got my camera, almost two years now. This summer won't offer many more days as nice as this one. The sites are all within a 20 minute walk of my apartment.

Tree-hugger! (P.S. That's a really wonderful picture.)

Lovely - just lovely!

I love the directness of your gaze in the last picture. Beautiful.

And the first one makes me want to go frollicing in the corn - maybe a quick chase?!

Hugs Van!

Thanks, you kinda put the idea in my head this week.

We'll have lots of frolics. I hope the weather is still nice 10 days from now!

Thank you. I can't say that I do, but I'm getting over it.

Umm...well...ahem...

Very nice pics...very nice...

*fanning self* ;)

I like the last photo a lot, but that's because it's in a style that I tend to shoot myself; simple and direct.

[ghostsandrobots.livejournal.com]

Wow, Van. First of all, great pics.

The thing that really shocked me about the first two (second one especially) is that they look so much like the landscape of this dream I had, where I met you.

It's nice to know I have that kind of power. I promise to use it only for good.

Rowr!

You have incredibly expressive eyes. I feel like I could just dive into them.

[quirkstreet.livejournal.com]

My goodness.

Did I ever mention that I started reading your journal because your userpic was gorgeous, and THEN figured out that you were intelligent, creative, and wonderful?

To be a tree right about now .... [faints]

Funny, I can't remember how or when I first encountered you. It was within a few weeks of joining LJ, and I made a lot of friends quickly. I remember being shy of you at first, then flattered when we hit it off so well. I'm always flattered by attention from brainy NTs.

Speaking of which, I keep thinking over and over about our Meyers-Briggs exchange. My tests never came anywhere near suggesting I was an S, and yet it seems more and more likely that I am, as I think about it (Hmmm, now what am I doing T-ing?). It would be interesting to go through the test and take a close look at the questions for the N-S function, because I might be answering them on the basis of my family's values and expectations. Unfortunately it isn't available free online anymore, not that I know of.

I'm certainly absorbed in the physical, sensual world, and I often have trouble "reading" people. I think part of the problem is I want to be more intuitive than I am. Perhaps it's time I got over that.

To be in Somerville right now.....smooch!

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Thanks, cutie. **smooch**

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The others were fun, the third one is honest.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

That is remarkable. We just keep resonating, don't we?

I had missed that dream post. I think it's fun that you found me hanging out in a field with a gang of male presences. **giggle**

I was thinking about you and your dream when I wrote chapter 2 today.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

**smooch**

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Purrrrrrrr

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Hehe, careful you don't drown.

[ghostsandrobots.livejournal.com]

Eerie synchronicity. Male presences for all!

Read chapter two last night before my involuntary (passing out) bedtime -- and wow. Thing that struck me most is how you really seemed to get into the head of a 12-year-old girl. Of course parenthood probably doesn't hurt. ;)

So is Nettles Lark's screen name or something, and that's how they're connected?

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Yes, Tendril signed her email "chrysalis," and in chapter 1 I mentioned that Lark received his dream catcher in the mail from his friend, Chrysalis.

Thing that struck me most is how you really seemed to get into the head of a 12-year-old girl.

Wow, thank you. I'm afraid it was done lightly (as all of this writing is being done), without much careful consideration. But I tried to use some intuition. Tendril has more gumption than I did as a pre-teen. I suppose I have some idea how my daughters must think in order to behave the way they do. She is not entirely like either of my daughters, though.

[ghostsandrobots.livejournal.com]

Got it. This fiction writing thing sure is daunting, and I admire what you're doing a lot.

Swoooooon…

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Yes?

Silly Van…
