I'm Not Joking...This is an Actual Assignment
i am asking you, my reading population, to help me with this assignment for my horticulture class. i have to list five NOUNS that describe me--none of them can describe my current "professional" situation (job or student) or gender. i don't even know where to start with this kind of introspection...so, i'm asking you, dear readers, to tell me what nouns you think of when you think of me.
i hope you will be kind.

How about some random nouns? Table. Tree. Brick. Car. Milk.
There you go. And that was just from looking out the window for 8 seconds.
No, seriously, I'll think about this for you.
what do nouns have to do with horticulture? this is where our tax dollars are going these days? nouns?
really, though, to flog a dead horse, you could capitalize on the Hip Discussion and say "hipster"(!).
Blogger.
i don't really know you, but i'll give it a shot anyway: starfish, light bulb, hand, green paint, semi-colon
water buffalo, moment, question, porcupine (but only because you say so), and blanket.
this is kind of fun.
I have to say that describing someone as "semi-colon" is one of the best ideas i've heard all week. Many of my students could be described as semi-colons.
Here are some more ideas: bus, tower, aphid, nitrogen, key.
Or you could branch into other languages: llave, pared, gato, campo, puerto.
This IS fun!
Q-tip, stencil-graffiti, coffee stain, sleep, thrift store
this is great! i have so much to work with now. the assignment's due on monday, so keep the suggestions coming.
i agree with dragonfly about describing people as semi-colons...in fact, i've been having a very semi-colon kind of week. thanks sooz.
strovska...the hipster horse isn't dead yet.
