How will you know me?
Feb. 7th, 2012 10:35 pmHow will you know me?
By the jewelry that I wear:
I've never worn very much jewelry, and what I do wear is more...totemic, you might say, than ornamental. But you can always tell what's on my mind by the charm I wear on a chain around my neck, and for the past year or so it's been this. I got it from the craft market website Etsy. (The picture shows a ring but I have the same item on a necklace.) I was originally looking for a stylized question mark, but when I realized that the slash symbol was on the same typewriter key...well, that was it, and it's been my symbol ever since. Unfortunately, of all the people in my RL only my husband knows what it actually means. I do still nurse the hope that someday someone will see it and give me a knowing look.
I've always wondered if we couldn't come up with some widely recognized (though only by the right people, of course!) symbol to allow slash fans to identify each other, and I've never seen one I like better than this. What do you think?
