So, this is my...

I wonder how many people start with "So, this is my first blog". That was my first thought when it came to typing here, as it seemed like a nice easy, obviously statement upon which to base the following text.

Then I decided that it was stupidly boring, so I am instead going to start with the statement "Entwined is an excellent word.

Entwined is an excellent word. I love the imagery that it provides, without a stupidly descriptive sentence (though please, do not get me wrong, I love writing stupidly detailed sentences). Entwined, to me, sparks a beautiful classical image of a creeper, wrapped complexly around something - a pole, a house, a fence - and never letting go. It can be used metaphorically "She was entwined in the thought of him," or literally "The vine had entwined itself around the statue". Thus, I like the word. Thoughts? Words that you like?

Christopher.
