Slightly bored and wandery

Yup. I'm a wee bit bored, and slightly under the weather (fighting off a small summer cold...blech), and thought I'd take a break from re-ordering my book collection to post an odd little exercise. As I've mentioned before I don't think in words, which I guess most folks do to some extent, which often leaves me struggling to translate what I'm thinking into something that other people can understand. So, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to try and put how I translate some stuff. Mainly basic emotions. It might also be interesting if others were to put their associations up, if any are so inclined. (I'm curious, you see. ;) )
