Monday Meme Time, brought to you by the letter B

[featherynscale]

Here's a game I'm playing with infintysquared:
How it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.

He gave me a B. So then, ten B words about me:

Belligerent - Mostly, but not always, in the friendly, cheerful "Wanna wrestle?" kind of way.
Biting - I keep my teeth and my tongue sharp.
Busty - It's inescapable. Mum had a breast reduction, and now she's bigger than she was then. I figure I'll just skip the surgery part and go straight on to the bitching about the size of my tits part.
Baking - My one and only "lifeboat skill". I make a mean cake, pie, or batch of cookies.
Bardic - Ridiculously full of stories and songs, and more than likely to break out into one at any given moment than not.
Brains - Don't leave home without them. I prefer to evaluate other people and to be evaluated myself on the basis of brainpower.
Better - Tyler Durden said self improvement is masturbation, but I'm not convinced there's anything wrong with masturbation, personally.
Bookish - I read more than is good for me. Or for you, for that matter.
Baleful - My glare, when woken up in the morning.
Boy shoes - Girls' shoes are for suckers. Or people that really, really enjoy foot pain. I try to be neither.

Also, if you like, comment with a B-word I left out.

Hit me with one. I'll work it in sometime this week.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Excellent. You can have S, for Scientist.

Brute

[lilia-blackbear.livejournal.com]

I don't know about you, but I like brutes... in the animalistic definition of the word, not the "jerk-off" definition of the word.

Give me a consonant, if you you please... I have no money to buy a vowel.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

You may have forgotten "Bisexual"....

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Also, hit me.

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

Do me.

[capriciouslass.livejournal.com]

I think she missed all of the Bi words, as I was missing Bitch.
After all, I am one... It's also my theme song.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Let's see. You should have.... O. As an enthusiast of language, you should have no problem with a vowel.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I thought about Bisexual, but felt I might be belaboring the obvious. Also true of Bitch.

You should have F, since you are Fuzzy.

[rio-luna.livejournal.com]

okay, i'll play.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Excellent. You get T, for thesis.

[infintysquared.livejournal.com]

A warning... "O" was somewhat more difficult than I anticipated. Not completely impossible, though.

The tough part was not abusing the "Over-" prefix. As it was, I only used it once.

Then there's always "Orff," since playing the Carmina Burana on stage was one of the most intense musical experiences I've had.

[agrnmn.livejournal.com]

I'll give it a go.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

For you, C, for Coatl.

Re: Brute

[lilia-blackbear.livejournal.com]

Now, four people have been given letters after me... I wanna play!

Re: Brute

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that -- you should have D, for Dynamo.

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

I'll play

[lexpendragon.livejournal.com]

I Already Played, But I Wanted To Say:
Tyler Durden said self improvement is masturbation, but I'm not convinced there's anything wrong with masturbation, personally.

That Should Be Made Into A Crossstitch And Hung On A Wall Somewhere.

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

That is a fantastic icon...

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

You should have S, for Smallpox.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Heh. I used to cross-stitch. When's your birthday, again? :P

[druidevo.livejournal.com]

Bountiful, and hit me...

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

I got ten good ones AND described my boobs!

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

Oooh this sounds like fun!

And this is probably belaboring the obvious, but I would think bacchanal (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bacchanal) seems likely to be on the list somewhere...;)

And slide me a consonant, would you? *grin*

[lexpendragon.livejournal.com]

Actually, the Only Time We've Met In Person Was On My Birthday.

A=B .'. B=A

[infintysquared.livejournal.com]

Then again, the reflexive property of the equivalence relation being what it is, implies that masturbation is self-improvement.

Re: A=B .'. B=A

[lexpendragon.livejournal.com]

Interesting Theory, And Works Really Well Unless He Meant Self-Improvement Is (A Form Of) Masturbation.

We Just Couldn't hear That Part Because It's In Parenthesis.

But Even If B= {A,x,y,z}

(B Is Masturbation, A Is Self Improvement) That Would Mean That B Could Be A, But It Could Also Be Some Of The Other Options. One Of Which, I'm Sure, Is Creating Math Forumla From Pop Culture Idioms That Have Nothing To Do With Math Forumla.

[capriciouslass.livejournal.com]

And now that I read in more detail instead of scanning, I wouldn't have mentioned Bitch. I got as far as '10 words and what they mean to you,' but didn't read the part 'about me.'
Ah, some days I'm right on top of things.
It just struck me as a 'B' word that popped right into my mind, not necessarily a description of you.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Ummm... how about H. You supply your own context :)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I like bacchanal. That works out well. You can have B, for your Blue Eyes.

[kcwitch.livejournal.com]

ok

Re: A=B .'. B=A

[infintysquared.livejournal.com]

Oh hush, you.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

How about V?

[zylch.livejournal.com]

sure, why not?

Oh wait, I have no time... that's why not!

Hell, hit me anyway.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

You shall have A, because all the Greeks begin with A.

Re: A=B .'. B=A

[druidevo.livejournal.com]

But you should be catious with this line of thought, because if A and B are matrices then AB does not always equal BA, in fact A and B can not even be multiplied unless they are both n X n. If the are though then A^2=AB=BA=B^2

Re: A=B .'. B=A

[infintysquared.livejournal.com]

But it was stated that the false premise is that "IS" is an equivalence relationship. Equivalence relationships are, by nature, reflexive.
