Imagery

peechie

Here’s a game for all y’all at home. Play along if you wanna indulge me.

I’m going to type a word, and you’re going to comment with the first image that comes into your head.

Ready?

The word is: independent.

Now, if the first image you thought of relates to American symbolism, discard that idea, and comment with the next one. Or the one after that.

I’ll let y’all know what that’s about in a few days. In the meantime, happy commenting!

    After the American one, I thought of ‘free-thinking’, which immediately brought me to ‘hippy’.

    Well the first thing I thought of was the American flag, and then I thought about the Independance Day song by Martina McBride, but since you said to discard those thoughts, I don’t have any left.

    What’s with all the crappy American stuff? I thought about the newspaper that Damian (The Lone Banana) edits. Maybe that’s just because I was reading ‘Nee’s blog right before I came to this one. Anyways, it’s an independent, progressive community newspaper.

    You must really despise your neighbors to the south. Sad. We’re not all that bad. Stereotyping is so dangerous. My stereotype of Canadians has always been something along the lines of intelligent, compassionate, low-key type of people. Of course, you’ve blown that all to hell.

    Nina: simmah down! all I asked for were images that didn’t include american symbolsim. I never said the symbolism was a bad thing - just not what I was looking for!

    Of course, if I were going to stereotype americans (which I’m not!), my new word, based on your comment is “egocentric”
