pauraque | Entries tagged with memes: letter

In lieu of a real post, have a meme!

lumosed_quill gave me the letter A, with which my answers to the following prompts must start.

Something I hate: ANTS!!! Assholes. Alopecia (on me — other people's hair can do what it wants).

Something I love: Avocados. Adventure games. Art.

Somewhere I've been: Allentown, PA (for a Rocky Horror convention, and I got the impression that we had far more fun there than anyone had ever had in Allentown before). Anaheim, CA (Disneyland). Arizona. Arlington National Cemetery.

Somewhere I'd like to go: Anywhere my friends are. Sorry, that's cheating, but I'm really not much for traveling, except to visit people.

Someone I know: Adam, my WoW BFF and bromantic partner of several years.

A film I liked: Allegro Non Troppo. All or Nothing. Apocalypse Now. Alice in Wonderland (1951).

If you want to play, leave a comment for a letter of your very own.
