Well, no actually, I didn't categorize them... I just listed the ones that
were in the book.  (And actually I don't think I have the original page with
the list on it anymore.)  Anyway I don't think that those kind of things
would be easily categorizeable... I would tend rather towards deconstructing
them into NSM-like building blocks such as "when I think about this, I feel
something good" or "I think this is a bad thing", but that's just my
idiosyncracy. ;p

Since I'm compulsive about posting everything I make here, I'll post the
words I have anyway.  (ISTR some of them stopped being mind-words in the
process of whatevering.  Heh.)

I'll leave off now before my whole night goes down the drain.
