Nouns and Verbs

I'm reading a library book (nonfiction! yay for me!) right now in which a health care provider attends a patient-relations seminar and participates in a fun group activity.  Each person writest down a list of as many verbs and nouns that describes her/himself.  Then the lists are passed randomly around.  You look at the jumble of words that embody a mystery person, then write a paragraph about what you think he/she is like. 

I decided to write my own list for fun, but of course there isn't anyone else to switch lists with, and now you'd know this is mine anyway.  I enjoyed it, though, because typically when you describe a person you use mainly adjectives.  I kept thinking of things like, "soft, quiet," then crossing them out and reminding myself "NOUNS! VERBS!"  I filled a small notebook page while Lincoln was eating lunch, only stopping twice to refill his drink and to wipe him off.  In those few minutes I came up with:

dress

words

think

book

smile

banana

cookie

eyes

curls

run

walk

move

sew

water

wine

face

wash

beans

water

bath

curve

window

touch

love

compliment

care

lounge (smiling as I wrote this, not admitting even to myself whether I meant the the thing or the action)

book

paper

hair

eat

baby

rock

squeeze

agree

outline

contrast

honey

salt

listen

emulate

worry

breathe

pray

Several times I caught myself beginning to write a word the second time, but there are two I didn't even realize I had already written. 

Book. 

Water.

 Which is funny because one day when I was pregnant I spent 6 straight hours in the tub, reading Jane Eyre.  Every month when my Parenting Magazine comes in the mail, my first thought is, I better take a bath tonight so I can read this!  Book and water: my repeats.
