Dolce Bellezza passed along a fun meme. The idea is to be given a letter, hers was “D”, and then post ten things you like beginning with that letter. At the end of the post, she said she would give interested readers a letter of their own. I landed the letter “S”.
So, here are 10 things beginning with the letter S that I like:
1. Science Fiction – Hence, my moniker. It all started when I saw Star Wars for the first time when I was only 2 years old. If my parents only knew…
2. Sketching – Otherwise, I would have never majored in Art in college. I’ve always loved drawing. But in 6th grade, I drew my first portrait. It was of Spock out of a TV Guide. And I realized it wasn’t half bad. Thus, began my love of drawing faces. All because of Star Trek!
3. Superheroes – Shocker, again, I know. I’ve already posted 13 reasons I love superheroes.
4. Scotland – I was able to tour Europe with my college chorale. Scotland was absolutely breathtaking.
5. Starbucks – No one makes a better non-fat, no-whip, Mocha. And it’s nice to just go sip coffee and read.
6. San Diego – My favorite vacation spot in the US. Perfect weather all year round, with great beaches. I regret ever leaving sometimes.
7. Sailing – Or being on any boat in the water. But there is nothing like the peacefulness of being out on a sailboat in serene waters.
8. Surfing the Net – I waste countless hours over the week. But I also come across a lot of fun blogs.
9. Sweaters – Especially in this time of year. I hate being cold, so I love wearing soft, warm sweaters.
10. Soccer – I love watching it, not playing it. In fact, it’s probably the only sport I don’t need to be persuaded to watch on tv.
This was suprisingly easy. I think that Bellezza was being nice when she gave me that letter!
If you want a letter of your own, leave a comment letting me know. And I’ll assign one to you.
Angela, I think it was “surprisingly easy” because you’re amazingly smart. I never would have thought of all those s words, and from the little I know of you so far, they seem to fit you perfectly. It was great fun reading your responses. Thanks for playing!
My last name begins with an S too, but I’m more looking forward to changing it if I ever get married. LOL
Thanks! This was a fun change of pace.
Me me! I need a topic for tomorrow! 🙂
Land me with a letter too! You lucky duck, getting to go to Scotland. It’s on my top list of places to see (which is all Northern countries).
This was fun. I am right there with you on those non-fat, no-whip mochas. Yum! I want to play too so can I please have a letter 🙂
Christine – Your letter is L.
Amy – Yours is T.
Iliana – Yours is R.
Looking forward to reading all of yours!
Nicely done! Don’t know if it was intentional or not but I like how each items seems to seque into the next. The only hard thing about the letter thing would be stopping with 10!
My earliest memory of liking sci fi/fantasy was my parents watching Star Wars too. I don’t know how old I was, but I remember the scene where R2-D2 and C were walking across the desert. I credit it for starting my love too. 🙂
Great list. It was a great way to find out about you! I want to join in the fun, can I please get a letter?
Carl – It was a little hard picking my favorites.. and I did rearrange them a couple times. LOL
Kailana – Too funny!
Vicky – Great! Your letter is E.
Star Wars was instrumental in my love for sci fi as well…of course I was 8 or 9, not 2! 😉
Good list. I agree with most of what youput up there, except sweaters. I hate them. I have been a sci-fi junky since Star Wars too. I saw it with my parents and have been hooked ever since.
ps. give me a letter.
Ron – Your letter is M.
These have been fun to read..
S for Sci Fi? For you? Who knew? lol.
I’m with everything on your list but San Diego. Loved the Zoo, hated the weather. Far too warm. Scotland! I still have to see Scotland.
