though that's not as much fun as it sounds.

Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things
you love that begin with that letter. Afterwards, post this in your
journal and give out some letters of your own.


I got a 'D' from [livejournal.com profile] sammywol.


  1. Dead Can Dance - one of my favourite bands and performers of my favourite gig ever. Just one night in the Olympia Theatre in Dublin but Lisa Gerrard channelled something incredible that night, and I don't think a single person in the audience could have remained unmoved. A magical night.

  2. digits - as in fingers. I love hands, my own and other people's, and the clever, sexy, inventive things Homo Sapiens can do with them.

  3. Dungeons & Dragons - not my favourite role-playing game ever, but definitely one with a special place in my heart as an early gateway into a hobby that's stayed with me since 1982.

  4. dice - I have many of these little randomisers and they, like Dungeons & Dragons form a crucial part of my personal history. I still have some of the crumbling, hand-inked dice set I got with my first copy of Basic Dungeons & Dragons. Like many atheists, I'm an animist in times of stress, and dice have often faced my wrath and praise as they selflessly generate their randomness for my entertainment.

  5. drums - I love percussions and tapping my foot or clicking my fingers along to the beat. Sometimes you really music you can feel.

  6. DD/DS - my darling daughter and darling son (Rowan and Oscar for those following at home) have changed my life in ways I would never suspected, and for the most part it's been fun. I love them both in an entirely unsurprising soppy fashion.

  7. Dada - I am a beautiful monster.

  8. dancing - As anyone who remembers my college gig-going days will tell you, I'm a fairly typical overweight bourgeois white-guy dancer. I try not to think about that and just dance.

  9. data - While not as fascinated by numbers and their relationships as say, [livejournal.com profile] nhw, I do love drawing meaning out of data. I am, by training and instinct I think, an observational scientist, and the heart of science is observation. I love hard data.

  10. devilment - Sure, all we have are our fellows to annoy, observe, gossip about, desire, repel, play with, hate and love. It doesn't do to be a boring monkey.

Love I'll dance with you anytime, even while cooking. I have some fond memories of dancing with you and we don't do it half often enough.

Don't feel obliged to offer me a letter o we could be doing this for the whole alphabet.
