(no subject)

Meme, from somewhere on friendsfriends, which I thought was kind of cool & interesting & useful since recently I've got the feeling that I've been annoying the people who liked my photos with all the Torchwood stuff and, well, total lack of photos, the people who friended me for the Torchwood stuff with not posting about that very much either, and just about everyone with too much depressive whining. So, this is everyone's chance to tell me what you want to read about. *g*


1. It begins with a list of all 26 letters of the alphabet.
2. Comment with something for me to talk about that starts with one of those letters. Make me babble about anything -- TV shows, actors, actresses, food, etc. Be creative.
[ETA: Or not. Feel free to be perfectly boring & unoriginal.] :D
3. One topic per letter -- it's like a claims list! I will cross off letters as topics appear. If you'd like to make more than one request (for different letters), go for it. Just don't steal all the letters.
[ETA: I doubt this will be a problem...]
4. I will post a new post talking about all 26 topics given to me!
[ETA: Probably not in one single post, though.]

Further ETA: 5. Photos. If you'd rather not have me write, pick a subject and I'll take a photo of that.


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z


[ETA: F is taken, and [livejournal.com profile] fpb did steal all the letters, which means a lot of inspiration for me, but also - my journal, my rules - that they're still free for everyone else to pick.]



Annonymous commenting is on, if there are any bored lurkers out there. *g* ::is slightly desperate for inspiration::

5) Food. I love talking about food. Tell me what you like/dislike. Take a photo of a favorite dish, if you like. :)

My apologies. I had read the meme wrong. Do whatever you feel like.

That's okay, there are a lot of interesting subjects on your list. :)

Somehow missed this - am uninspired and hungry now, thanks to the last of your posts I read :-), but promise to pick something.

Off the top of my head: S - sex. Hah.

Um. Do I have to?! I know it's cowardly, but I'm not super-comfortable writing about that with the whole lack of actual sex happening in my life...

Do what the English goalkeeper Len Shackleton did in his book on his life in the game. He made a chapter heading titled: "What the Average Club Director Knows about the Game" -

- and left a blank page beneath.

Or if you're feeling vulgar and funny, you can just use two words - "yes please".

Of course you don't have to, as I said, it was off the top of my head, and you must excuse me, hunger was not letting me think clearly. Although sex *not* happening in your life might actually give you a unique point of view... But I'd never dream of making you do anything that made you uncomfortable.

OTOH... I might even do it. Not so sure I'll share it, though. Maybe you & me lock, if you're really curious...

Oh, you know me, I'm ALWAYS curious... but never to the point of making you feel uncomfortable. So, do whatever feels right. In the meantime, I'll try to think of something else.
