Haha. XD

1. Your writing just absolutely astounded me, and I was quite happy when you friended me! :D

2. I associate you with water because of that icon that used to be your default.

3. You writing, as stated above. *g* You're SO talented; I'm jealous.

4. Well, I don't think I've known you for that long, so I don't have any memories yet. But there shall be memories one day!

5. What's the story behind your username?

5. Mostly, it's a testament to my utter and total symbolism-geekery. Vanitas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanitas) is a style of still-life painting popular in Northern Europe, from about the time Robin Hood was hopping around stealing from the well-off and giving to the minorly impoverished, to around when torture was outlawed. (<-- Ha, no.) Which is to say, 1600s-1700s. It was a very melancholy era, really. Lots of plague-ing and war.

En vanitas, every object and its placement are significant; popular are things like skulls, bubbling cauldrons, the US-exchange rate, etc., which remind us of the futility of all things. The word itself means "emptiness" in Latin, which is also a shout-out to the fact that everything is insignificant and such. 's quite cheerful, really.

So, vanitas + haze = seeing everything through a bunch of morbid symbology.

...I am such a geek.
