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

Storyboards - what I do all day
Simpkin - the name of a lesser sort of djinn thing in Bartimaeus which I'm reading when I have a moment here and there
Scientist, The - the Coldplay song curently on iTunes (there's a convenient coincidence)
Shanty for the Arethusa - The first song on Her Majesty by The Decemberists, whose 'la de dum' part is very similar to the one in 'My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist.' It starts with an ominous chord and a scream. Few songs are that cool.
Silly - Dead Ringers, That Mitchell and Webb Sound, The Skivers, The Consultants, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, Lee and Herring's Fist of Fun, etc etc.
Suburbia - where I grew up.
Syndrome - villain in The Incredibles and also a word in its own right. Significance for me? Dunno, but it popped into my head. I probably have a few syndromes...
Significance - A word I need to keep in mind when choosing 'S' words
S.M.K. - Good ol' buddy o' mine in North Carolina ... good grief, it took me this long to remember your name started with an S. I really am losing it.
Sanity - Someday I shall have to try this out to see why everyone's so crazy about it.

Er. It's been a while since I posted in here. I think someone taped over the 'Post on LJ!' switch. With masking tape or something, y'know, like when you paint? Walls, I mean. I'm going away now.

Yeah, yeah, I know - you've probably invented THREE alphabets by now (in addition to teaching yourself to read and write in Elvish and Atlantean. You just want to make me feel really lazy and dumb, don't you?;)

Now now, let's be fair, I have never properly learned Elvish, just fiddled around with it a bit. And I've only invented two alphabets, but one has both a 'traditional' form (directly translated from the Roman alphabet, letter-for-letter) and a phoenetic variation.

Oh, well, when you put it that way...and only TWO alphabets - is that all?
You really make me sick, you know that?:)
