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

Ozy gave me 'R'.

1. Reading. All my life, I've mostly had my nose stuck in a book. And they've taken me to some wonderful places. Narnia, Middle Earth, the Devil's Punchbowl, Mars, the past, the future. I just don't get it when people say, 'Me? I don't read.' And say it as if it's something to be proud of. Nope, I just don't get that at all.

2. Random encounters. I love yapping to pretty well everyone I meet when I'm out and about - at bus stops, in bus stations, in airports, wherever. Glimpses of other people's lives are utterly fascinating.

3. Rimming. Just about my favourite thing to read in fic :-)

4. Rime. Very pretty. The only thing I've ever liked about cold weather. And the best thing about it, you can watch it from indoors *g*

5. Red wine, the tipple of choice. I like to think I'm doing my bit to mop up the Euro wine lake *g*

6. Rachmaninov. Some of the most sublime piano music ever written.

7. Rings. I'm addicted to them, especially when they involve opals :-)

8. RDA, duh. The guy is sex on legs.

9. Ridiculous humour. Stuff like the Goons and the Goodies and Monty P. And I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, does anyone else remember that? And At Last, the 1948 Show? And Do Not Adjust Your Set?

10. Radio Four. (BBC talk radio, for all you non-Brits out there) I love the quirky filler programmes that crop up there. And the Shipping Forecast, one of the great cornerstones of British life *g*

So, nothing terribly profound about that list, sorry :-( Any takers for a letter though?

Do you find that people who primarily read non-fiction lack imagination? I mean that they have difficulty opening their minds to science fiction or fantasy concepts?

I'm not really sure. #1 son has only been known to open a fiction book when he's been forced to (and to my knowledge has only ever finished two *g*). He only ever seems to read for information, and it was the same when he was small and being read to: dinosaurs and space were his top favourites. But I'd say he has an averagely good imagination and enjoys both sci fi and fantasy films with no difficulty in suspending disbelief... so I just don't know.

And here's a letter for you too: 'D'

Duh!

D'oh!

I did my 'D's and completely forgot Daniel.

Dork.

The 'D's you came up with were very, very good though, missing Daniel notwithstanding :-)
