I like knowing the names of things. I may or may not make use of this knowledge, but having it, and being able to say, "oh, this is X" can help.
I occupy a weird intersection between organic writing and ordered. I have no idea how to explain it, though. Like when I learn taiji, I can learn the postures and form, but if I want to improve, I have to know why I'm doing, for example, single whip or cloud hands. I need to know the application, the why.

I'm terrible with theoretical *everything.*
