What is your Watch-word?

Post by ussusimiel »

This came up for me recently while I was posting in TLD forum. Basically what I'm wondering is: what is the word (related to you personality/philosophy/spiritual beliefs etc.) that best captures how you represent yourself on the Watch. (You can also add the SRD-related word which you most enjoy using on the Watch (or in RL :lol: ).)

To those who know a bit about mine is, unsuprisingly:
  • integrity
SRD-related:
  • incondign
Tell me yours!

Just any words we think represent ourselves, u.? Or something others have called us that resonates personally?

...I don't frequent the TLD forum; probably won't until it is unhidden. So if the process is explained there, I haven't seen it.

You've read TLD, what are you waiting for?

I want to give TLD a chance to grow on me. I raced through the ARC so quickly so SD could send it on that maybe I just didn't give it the attention it deserves. Until then, I don't want to spoil it for myself from insights other have posted.

Just my own craziness, in other words.

For example, SD shared an insight he had about She I had not considered, since I did read the ARC. That insight is influencing how I see a certain scene in TLD, but I would prefer to attempt to get such insights for myself first...

It's nothing complicated, Menolly. It's meant to be a relatively light-hearted (hence I started the thread in Gen Disc rather than the Close or (God Forbid, the 'Tank :lol: )).

For myself I meant a word that I tend to use a lot in my interactions on the Watch, as in the phrase, '"integrity" is my watchword'. I was trying to be humorous by punning on Watch as well, but obviously I do not have the subtlety that people might Savor and I'm more likely to be Dammed than anything else for my inept attempt :lol:

Ohhh...

Then I guess my Watch-word would be:

*soft smile*

Don't think I have an SRD-related word...

That was appreciated here.

I'm not sure I have one [or maybe just not ONLY one]...

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

My life watchword that (I hope) guides everything I do and say is: Jesus.

My Watch-word would be kindness. I am here to share in the fellowship of loving SRD's book adventures, but also for friendship and to encourage, laugh, hug, even cry with people here. :hug:
