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.

Um, if I understand "The Game" properly (if that's really possible)...that sounds really dumb. Like it's some ridiculous virus that you have to host until you die merely by finding out about it? Whatever. It sounds ike all the idiotic chain letters that clog my e-mailbox, sent by my supposed "friends" telling me if I don't do what they say I'm gonna die or lose my job or something else ridiculous. I would get mad at you for "infecting" me with the game if I felt any obligation to play. Or maybe you have the free will to choose to play it, but why??? if you can't really win (you just try to minimize your losses and get other people to lose more, and you try to forget about it?) - this just sounds so beyond pointless and not fun.

... I dunno, it's always struck me as a very funny sort of demonstration of the laws of entropy. (You can't win, you can't break even, you can't get out of the Game.)

But that is because I am a giant dork.

Anyway, I'm sorry I spammed poor Tealin's journal with this, especially as neither of you know me; please do forgive me.

Perhaps I was a little harsh in that last reply. I suppose anything that requires any extraordinary time, energy, or brainpower without any obvious rewards seems stupid to someone who isn't interested in it, but goodness knows I'm a huge dork (without seeming to try) about several things (animation, Disneyland, movies, etc.) to the befuddlement and scorn of many. As long as nobody's going to force me to play "the game", I suppose it's educational to know of its existence.
