Better living with letters
Dec. 7th, 2006 09:58 pmThis post is brought to you by the letter 'B', courtesy of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ozqueen.
This is how it goes:
1. Comment and I'll give you a letter.
2. List 10 things you love that begin with that letter.
3. Propagate the meme - hand out some letters of your own!
1. Books. My vice, my addiction. I have chosen books over food on more than one occasion, and an all-night read over sleep. I expect I'll do it again. One day I'll probably be able to build another house out of the books on my shelves (only that would be poor form, and anyway, what if I wanted to re-read one at the bottom?).
2. And speaking of books, British comedy series Black Books. I love the surreal humour. Please to be seeing icon :).
3. Baking. Brownies. Need I say more?
4. Beasts, fabulous and mythical. Basilisks, bunyips, barnacle geese and borometz, and the bread-and-butterfly.
5. The Black. Nothing like lyingin the gutter on the ground looking at the stars, all shiny and peaceful-like. And speaking of space...
6. Benson, Arizona. A country song from the crazy 70s sci-fi movie Dark Star. Absolutely country (wailing guitar, boo hoo my love and I are separated) and absolutely science fictional (separated...by time dilation!). There's an mp3 of it available to download on that site.
Now the years pull us apart
I'm young and now you're old
But you're still in my heart
And the memory won't grow cold
I dream of times and spaces
I left far behind
Where we spent our last few days
Benson's on my mind...
7. Blood. Such a pretty colour. It keeps me warm and pinkish-beige instead of pasty-bleagh. Also, alive. Hooray for blood!
8. Bridges. Especially old ones, the half-glimpsed passageways seen from a train. Trolls and billy-goats, crossings and burning. Very myffic, bridges.
9. Bananas. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and even though the price has come down from $14/kg (!), it still isn't low enough for casual impulse-buying of these delicious yellow-cream treats. Other reasons to like bananas: Thirty Thousand Pounds of Bananas by Harry Chapin (I can upload it if anyone's interested); double (or indeed, single) entendre; the difficulty of how to *stop* spelling bananananananananana...
10. Blue-tongue lizards. Because although they'll hiss at you and stick out their (gasp) blue tongues, they're not evil bastards like brown snakes and won't try to kill you. Plus, they like bananas *wistful noise*.
Also, I just found out about The Game, and I've already lost three times. Dammit!
