Here's my list:

Liberty

That's indeed essential.
But surely need something to *do* with all that liberty also?

I think having to pick five is limitative. I'd rather leave out five. "Choice" is not on the list, I noticed...

And fun would have to be included in "Pleasure", even if you simply love to laugh.

Me, I'd take as many as I like. Focus is for grumpy grown-ups!

"I'd just choose one:
Socialising"


Said the guy who signs with his lone initial.

Somebody should teach you what socialising means!

Incidentally, I know a company that makes drills of excellent value : Dursley & Grunnings Inc., 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, England.

Check it out : I used their extra-fine virtual bit (nifty name, hunh?) to make the little pixel-sized hole next to my initial.
So that it wouldn't be lonely. Now, THAT'S socializing!

Laurie

Perhaps that's the very definition of an initial? "The first one of many"? Okay then, I'll go against the ideas of a previous blog and apologize. Not to Adam, of course, just to Mr Webster, dictionary maker.
[And why on Earth should I apologize to Adam selling distress?]

"Laurie". eh? I knew Signalroom's style (and her list) felt very familiar. And to think it never occured to me to click on the profile link before.
On second thought... One really can't say that this profile page is "excessively revealing". No censorship needed there, and no risk for privacy invasion! ;-)

It was hard taking out Beauty, and I cheated by combining emotional and physical health into one, and I added umpteen others. Oh well. :)

Final Identity,

"I think the world has two types of people:
those who divide people into two types,
and those who don't..."

Variant :
"There are three kinds of people in the world:
Those who can count,
And those who can't."
