Alphabet meme

[summer_jackel]

prickvixen made this up, and I thought it was cool. Then I did it, and LMAO at my results. So here it is:

Think of a word beginning with the letter 'A'. Note the first word which comes into your head. Then immediately think of a word beginning with 'B', and so on, through the entire alphabet. Try not to look at or revisit your notes during this process. Nonsense words are absolutely allowed.

When you're finished, post the words and these rules in your LJ; put the entire list behind an lj-cut so that you don't hijack someone's thoughts accidentally. Repeat as necessary.

I definitely need to go to sleep now, and hey, the chicks in the living room have stopped cheeping, bonus! The wolf and the collie are both fast asleep, facing each other, with their foreheads smooshed together. It is so very mind-meltingly cute. I am glad I have them, even though they don't always succeed in keeping raccoons at bay. Loves my puppies.

Y is for Yorik, whose head was done in
Z is for Zilla, who drank too much gin.

*---Does this surprise anyone?
**---it's a nonsense word, at least I think. Dictionary.com gives me "telluric, "of or pertaining to the earth; terrestrial" and "of or proceeding from the earth or soil." Neat, potentially useful word, but though I certainly may have been exposed to it at some point, it hasn't been part of my immediately accessible vocabulary until now. Hey brain, whatcha doin' in there?
***---Obviously. The LOL in this was that as soon as I was on Yorik, there was never any question that brain was going to give me anything but the rest of the poem. I will be really interested to see how many of my friends' brains want to go to the same place.

I got a very strange list out of this meme:

Andromache
Beta
Cerebral
Desdemona
Epilepsy
Fiona
Gerund
Harrod's
Indescribable
Jack o' lantern
Khyber
Laminate
Mandership
Noodle
Occidental
Polymer
Question
Rayon
Stellar
Teevee
Understand
Vacation
Westerly
Xavier
Yellow
Zee

I think what it basically says is "I have been watching perhaps too much British teevee". (Mostly because in my head I pronounced 'beta' as 'bee-ta'.)
