Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.

Letter P given to me by:
[livejournal.com profile] alana_eldora

(1) PACHECO-WEST. As crazy as it's been having a hyphenated last name, I rather enjoy it. It makes me feel more British. :] Plus, it's fun to say.

(2) PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. NOT the Kiera Knightly one. We're talking the BBC version, with Colin Firth in period clothing, with his broody eyes and his long stares out into the moors... and of course, the actual book by the amazing and wonderful Jane Austen.

(3) PANTS. Especially those of the leather and/or velvet variety, especially on members of the opposite sex.

(4) POMPEII. I spent hours watching the TV specials on Pompeii. I've always been fascinated by it-- by everything from the art recovered to the people shapes formed by ash settling over the less fortunate. The dog, especially.

(5) PEBBLE BEACH. It's secluded, it gets good sun, it's a little out-of-the-way, but worth the trip, definitely. Especially if one's friends come along. ;]

(6) PIE. Mmmmm, pie. 'Nuff said.

(7) PINSTRIPED SUITS. Don't know why, but they're omghot. Especially old gangster movies, when the gangsters wear pinstriped zoot suits. Zoot suits are omghot, too.

(8) PENGUINS/PIGEONS. Because they're so easy to confuse, you know.

(9) PUMPERNICKEL BREAD. Mmmm, it's always been one of my favorite types of bread. Especially for roast beef sandwiches with horseradish and tomato. Mmmm, mmm, good.

(10) PINEAPPLES. They're CRAZY, man! They're all crazy spiky, with weird colors and textures, and they look painful, but they're really really good to eat. Honest.

(Bonus) PAUL MCCARTNEY. He lives in my hood! He drinks tea! What more could a girl ask for?


Also, it's about that time again.

I am so totally hurt that you forgot about me.

Re: Yes, please.

Sometimes they just work. Most of the time they don't, or else I'd be posting them daily. :]

[identity profile] stoopbeck.livejournal.com 2006-04-29 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ni-i-iiice. :]

that's badass.
see, yours have good solid substance.

[identity profile] stoopbeck.livejournal.com 2006-04-29 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, if by "good solid substance" you mean "strange random combinations of words."

[identity profile] omnedai.livejournal.com 2006-04-29 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
it's not random!
the fun part is creating a sort of almost dream-like context wherein the words make sense!
(DUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.)
(duh.)

(*ahem*)

[identity profile] stoopbeck.livejournal.com 2006-04-29 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooohhhhhhh, riiiiiight. My bad.

[identity profile] omnedai.livejournal.com 2006-04-30 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
no, no, no.
your dream bad.

[identity profile] stoopbeck.livejournal.com 2006-04-29 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hehehehe! That one is giggle-inducing.

[identity profile] stoopbeck.livejournal.com 2006-04-29 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
*nods* Although the one about black females dialing off-duty wasn't bad, either...

(Anonymous) 2006-04-29 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
woot Haikus!

PINSTRIPED SUITS. Don't know why, but they're omghot. Especially old gangster movies, when the gangsters wear pinstriped zoot suits. Zoot suits are omghot, too.
agreed!
let's have a (pinstriped) zoot suit riot!

Who's your daddy? Yes I am!

^ the above anonymous posting show of brilliance...yeah that's me.

[identity profile] stoopbeck.livejournal.com 2006-04-29 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Heheheee! I was thouroughly mystified. :]

(6) PIE. Mmmmm, pie. 'Nuff said.
Haha! In honor of pie...*points to icon*

(8) PENGUINS/PIGEONS. Because they're so easy to confuse, you know.
*snickers* That sounds like a bad Monty Python moving waiting to happen.

(Bonus) PAUL MCCARTNEY. He lives in my hood! He drinks tea! What more could a girl ask for?
Really?...d00d, can you get his chutney recipe for me?

[identity profile] archaimikokami.livejournal.com 2006-05-01 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...and can I have a letter? Pwease?...

[identity profile] stoopbeck.livejournal.com 2006-05-01 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...he makes chutney? I had no idea! Sure, next time I'm wearing my hoodie, I'll ask him. :]

And for you, the letter... H. :D
