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.

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.

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.
