Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] archway had a meme about things she liked, beginning with the letter C. I figured it was worth taking the time to demonstratively like things, so she gave me the letter D. If you'd like to like things alphabetically, comment and ask for a letter, and I will give you one.

I like:
1. Dogs - Particularly large dogs with good dispositions and muppet-like faces.
2. DMing - Best way in the world to be evil to your friends and have them thank you for it.
3. Derelicts - Ruined buildings are dangerous, crumbling love.
4. Deviation - Wouldn't it be dull if we were all the same?
5. Dirty songs - Everybody needs a party trick.
6. Derby girls - Roller skates and a bad attitude add at least 10% to your total hotness score.
7. Doctor Who - How have I not watched this until now? He's charming, competent, and totally batshit insane. LOVE.
8. Darts - Clearly I should spend more time in pubs.
9. Depeche Mode - Dave Gahan could read the phone book and make it sound filthy.
10. Data - Numbers, or it didn't happen!

Special bonus #11 (it goes to 11!): David. I like him. I think I'd like to keep him, if nobody minds.

I really like the way the text in your list lines up (in Arial) so that the space-hyphen-space forms a more-or-less continuous line going down and to the right.

#s 8 and 10 almost break the pattern, but they are saved by the position of space-I-space and comma-space.

Here, I'll show you:

1. Dogs - Particularly large dogs
2. DMing - Best way in the world
3. Derelicts - Ruined buildings are dangerous,
4. Deviation - Wouldn't it be dull
5. Dirty songs - Everybody needs a party trick.
6. Derby girls - Roller skates and a bad attitude
7. Doctor Who - How have I not
8. Darts - Clearly I should spend more
9. Depeche Mode - Dave Gahan could
10. Data - Numbers, or it didn't happen!


What?

ETA: I'd like to buy a vowel.

You are a weird kid. Therefore, you can have I. Go to it. :)

EDIT: Now I can't look at the post without seeing that figure. Well done. ;)

Yay! You should try this more often; every page of text (especially fully-justified text) has its own unique patterns. Training oneself to look at the spaces rather than the symbols is a good exercise for improving perceptual flexibility. (Which I'm certain is a trait you value.)

Also, for those with OCD attention-surplus disorder, these patterns can be profoundly satisfying.

especially fully-justified text
Yeah, I will admit that I used to do this when I was editing newsletters/newspapers/magazine articles. But then I was looking to randomize it, not call attention to it. :)

Manipulating such patterns might or might not be effective for transmitting subliminal messages.

i'll take a letter. And as regards #6, I have never seen you at a KCRW game. How come?

And #7, are you watching new series (Eccleston, Tennant) or old series (Wossname, Troughton, Pertwee, Tom Baker, Davison, Colin Baker, McCoy)?

Date: 2008-03-05 01:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] featherynscale.livejournal.com
Excellent. You can have C.

As regards #6, I keep putting them on the calendar and having other things manifest that I *must* do on the relevant dates. *sigh*

And #7, I'm watching the new set. I'm halfway into the first David Tennant season. (But I like Eccleston better, so far.)

Date: 2008-03-05 02:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] popefelix.livejournal.com
Yeah, it's really a pity that Eccleston only stayed for one season. Don't get me wrong - Tennant is a great Doctor, but there's just something about Eccleston that I would have really liked to have seen more of. I think it's that you could really see the regret and the pain he was living with from the Time War and the death of Gallifrey. It scarred him deeply, and you could see that.

Some time soon I think I shall start a movie night and start showing Doctor Who from the first episode EVAR.
