I used to be a great alliterationist

If you like, comment on this entry and get a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.

sir_flute gave me the letter 'P'.

01. Perfectionist: something I've been accused of being, to my surprise. Perhaps in certain parts of life.

02. Parrot: something I think my favorite saint would have...?

03. People: I have mixed feelings about them.

04. Poetry: I like some of it. I should read more of it.

05. Personality: I wish I knew if other people liked mine.

06. Penelope: something I would never name my daughter. (Also something I pronounce in my head as PEN-a-lope, and have to think about the correct way to say it before I speak.)

07. Pratchett, Terry: Best British humourist evah. Or at least of this century, because there are a lot of other British humourists I love (who are mostly older and Dead).

08. Pippi: As a girl I loved Pippi Longstocking; then I grew up and loved Pippi DeLena.

09. Patrons, library: definitely have mixed feelings about these, too. I love some of 'em. Some of them are insane. And a few are the dregs of humanity.

10. Photography: something I love to do, provided it's digital.

Ooo, ooo, I shall resurrect myself from being gone from LJ to say, 1. I definitely adore your personality, and I don't even know you that well. You are, in my mind, an inspiration (I love finding people who read more than me.) and the definition of elegance, which I also wish to have. Someday.
2. I now must finally read Terry Pratchett. I really must must must.
3. Give me a letter. Make it a good 'un.

*cocks an eyebrow* Really? How odd. I'm still looking for elegance, too. o_O But thanks. =)

You will like Pratchett, I think, but don't expect anything like Sayers or Wodehouse. Don't expect anything like anybody else at all, actually. He's not.

To you, O Fair One, I give the charming and snake-like letter 'S'. *bestows it*

I had my art teacher tell my mom I was really 'poised and dignified' (which is, uh, ironic) and I remember thinking "Wow, I think it would be really cool if that were true."

Sure. I'll take a letter. ;)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Ah...*thinks*

Ha! I present you with the letter ...*drumroll*...'C'!

Have fun. ; )

[maidintheusa.livejournal.com]

OK, thanks! I think I can do that. And first on my list is going to be CHOCOLATE. ;P

Okay, I'll bite: where's my letter? :)

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I've had to think about it. How about the letter 'D'?

I have to admit, I like the name Penelope, but it would need to be shortened to Penny for sanity's sake. Penna Lope sounds like a melon's name.
