A while ago, I started thinking about the words that mean the most to me - I call them Words of Power. In my life there are words that are very powerful for me and evoke a strong reaction (all positive reactions, mind you; I don't want room in my life for things that evoke images of negativity and hate). These are words of desire, emotion, need, feeling.... words that as soon as I see them or say them, I'm filled with whatever emotion, concept, or idea they bring up for me.
As I wrote them down, I realized how much that list of words revealed about me. So, you could learn a lot about a person simply by their list of Power Words.
For the record, mine are
Power
Strength
Choice
Connection
Relationship
Resonate
Intensity
Love
Evoke
Empowerment
Feed
Hunger
Loyalty
Create
Write
Space
Luxury
Desire
Time
Dream
Self
Journey
Energy
Spirit
I'd say it means I'm quite obviously crazy.
I think the most defining factor in what you can learn about people is by looking at their car and how they treat that. Especially after this weekend. :)
Not sure if I want to watch Scott watching porno, but thanks for the invitation all the same, Scott.

Great Optimism,
I think Dawn up there had one of the best responses I could imagine. Power words.
Reading her list echoed with me, and made me write down my own.
I learned a bit about myself doing that.
