Comment, and I shall give you a letter. Go back to your journal, and write ten words
beginning with that letter, including an explanation what the word means to you and
why.


grrlgoddess gave me "M".

1. Monkey

I like monkeys. Monkey, to me, represents my silly side.

2. Melancholy

My emotional rest state. When not actively moved to somethign
else, this is where I go.

3. Masks

"You bought a mask, I put it on, you never thought to ask if I
wear it when you're gone". I'm fascinated by masks, both figurative
and literal.

4. Matt

My name. "Matthew" is what I'm called by teachers, bosses and
angry parents. "Matt" is what my friends and peers call me.

5. Machiolation

"Murder holes". I'd want some, in my ideal home.

6. Magic

The act of tricking ones self into behaving as though reality were
other than it is. Sometimes, it involves tricking reality, too.

7. Murder

A collection of crows. Crows are an important symbol for me, like
monekys, but they mean something different.

8. Misanthropy

Hatred of mankind. Racism and prejudice are for the
small-minded. I don't waste time - I just hate everyone.

9. Macroherpetophile

"Sometimes, the world goes bad for people through no fault of their
own. They're just born with bad wiring. I don't know if there's a
better explanation for the sexual preference of the
macroherpetophile. There's a macroherpeophile community on the
web. They seem like imaginative, pleasant, harmless people. But,
well... a herpetophile is sexually attracted to lizards. Macro, of
course, indicates great size."

"Macroherpetophiles want to f**k Godzilla."

(From Warren Ellis' "Bad World")

10. Melodrama

"Casual use of the word as an adjective translates to exaggerated
emotions or ways in expressing oneself. For example: "Don't be so
melodramatic!" This has fallen into common parlance."
