featherynscaleI've stolen the High Fidelity game from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lysana. She recommends that if you don't know why this is the High Fidelity meme, that you rent the movie. I, however, love you, and don't want you to have to suffer the pains of John Cusack's asshole neuroticism (unless you like that sort of thing). So I will just tell you. In the film, the record-store employees (of which Mr. Cusack was one) would periodically turn to each other and say, "Okay -- top five side 1, track 1 songs", or "Ok -- top five songs for Laura's dead father" or other things like that. It was really the only fun thing that happened in the film, which was otherwise all about living in your own head and imagining the horrible things people might be doing to you instead of just asking them what they were about. But anyway, I digress. And I really did like the Top 5 game.
So, anyway, ask me about my top five $NOUN.
Assuming that I have an opinion about $NOUN, and am willing to answer, I will tell you what they are.
Be creative.

Date: 2005-07-22 08:30 pm (UTC)Lugh is an Irish fellow -- he's sort of the god of generalized competence, and is often seen as a sun god, or possibly a thunder god, depending on who you ask.
Mannanan is Irish and/or Welsh (there's a Welsh Llew, as well, but he's a little different than his Irish cousin). He's an older sea god, traveler and sort of walker-between-worlds.
Bast is Egyptian - she's usually seen as a cat or a cat-headed woman, and is in charge of protection, war, and other qualities of wild cats, as well as granting the ability to have sex in the afterlife.
Brigid is Irish as well. She's a smith, a healer, a poet, a brewer, and a number of other things. She survived Catholicism and somehow got to be the foster-mother of Christ, which is fun.
