Mizzliz said "Hey kid, wanna buy a K?"
Curse you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mizzliz! K has to be one of the most difficult letters in the English language! I poked at it a bit and then forgot about it for a week or so, until I noticed miss_gordon doing the same meme. And now I've used up my evening trying to do this ... and getting distracted and reading about Tale Spin, probably the only Disney cartoon I actually liked. (And Kaa was not in it.)
Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Post your list in your journal, and give out some letters of your own; leave a comment for me here so I can read your list! :)
1) Kind people. I deal with so many rude, self-centered people all day that it almost brings tears to my eyes when someone is kind.
2) Keen observations by Eor. :)
3) Kink! Not really, but it sounded good. Well, I suppose reading slash might be considered a bit of kink in the first place, and I when I'm reading I do go for the weirdest stuff. As far as myself goes, of course, I'm pure as the driven snow. Those pictures with the aardvark and the electric egg beater mean nothing.
4) Killing time with LiveJournal. Okay, I know it's a stretch. But I AM an addict.
5) Kinks, The. I acquired the Kinks Kronicals when I was about 14 and it remains one of my all time favorite records even though my copy is on vinyl and I haven't listened to it for years.
6) Kissing.
7) Kooks. We see plenty of those at work, too. No, wait - I don't love them. But sometimes they're good for entertainment value. Like the guy who told us that if we opened his lobsters all the cold would go rushing up and the hot air would fall into the box and the lobsters would die. Because hot air is heavier than cold air. He knew this because he was an engineer. Yeah... right. I do love Eor, though, and he can be a kook in a good way. ;)
8) Kaa in the Kipling's Jungle Book. I didn't even want to see the Disney movie as a kid because I thought they'd ruined the entire thing, but Kaa worst of all.*
9) Knocking off work at the end of the day. Damn it's great to get out of there.
10) King of Calypso - a song by Ed's Redeeming Qualities which sums up the angst of having been born in the wrong place at the wrong time and of the wrong genetic stock. (Why does it make sense to be able to get a sex change if you can't get a race change?)
--------------------------------------------------
* The Disney movie also caused me to get into an argument with the neighbor boy because when he saw my book he insisted that the illustrations were wrong - "Mowgli wasn't a black kid!" he said. "Well, no," I said, "he's Indian." "He's a white kid!" I was confused and befuddled. It just seemed ridiculous to me to think of him as white or black, as the story clearly takes place in India, and the neighbor boy's vehemence about the whole thing was very odd. This was probably my first personal experience with racism and it took me quite aback.
