The Letter Meme of Favourite Things

[sister_luck]

frenchani gave me an R.

Let's see:


1. Reading

The obvious one first. I swear that words attack me and demand to be read. I like losing myself in a book. I like learning new useless facts which I promptly forget again.

2. Rocks

While I'm not really a mountain person, I do like rocks in any shape or form. Small pebbles and cliffs and so on.

3. Rock

I like music that rocks and/or grooves.

4. Riddles

I'm actually cheating here, but crosswords don't start with an R and the clues are riddles in a way.

5. Relaxing

I'm lazy.

6. Roads and road trips

Motorways don't do it for me, but driving along winding country roads is fun and there's so much to see.

7. Rainbows

Rain is not one of my favourite things, especially if there's too much of it and life becomes grey, but without rain there wouldn't be any rainbows. They're magical, whether there's a pot of gold or not, and they're a sign of hope for me.

8. Ranting

No, not religious rants, but I find complaining angrily very therapeutic. I also enjoy other people's rants, as long as their anger is justified - or it's such a minor issue, that it's just funny.

9. Rhubarb

True summer food. Especially delicious in the form of a rhubarb meringue pie made by my "day care mom". It's a childhood thing.

10. Rocket

or as the North Americans say arugula or as I say rucola. Can you tell that I'm running out of ideas and that I'm hungry? It's a bit of a faddish food, and the whole craze might already be over, but I like it, especially in the form of rocket pesto.

Any totally obvious Rs I've missed?

I love rhubarb too - unfortunately I'm the only person in my family who likes it, so I have to eat shop-bought rhubarb products instead of making my own (I just couldn't eat it all by myself!)

Rocket is lovely too - one of my favourite salad leaves.

Heee - I'm hungry too! :D

It's been ages since I had anything with home-made rhubarb - that might be a cooking project for summer. It's definitely very much connected with childhood memories.

I expected Reading and Rock from you but not Rocket!lol

I would have added Roquefort and Rocky Balboa but that's just me.

Hmm, Roquefort is nice, but I don't get it often, because I'm the only one around here who can stand its sight. Rocky Balboa is not for me.

The whole meme was actually harder than I thought.

Hmmm Rucola. I love it.

I also know a person who's terribly allergic to it.

R... That one happens to be very important family-wise for me. ;-)
And I just love to rrrrrroll 'em.

Yes, I was thinking about saying something about the fact that my first and middle name start with an R but then I can't have myself as one of my favourite things, can I? I'm not a thing!

I can't roll 'em properly - not with my tongue.
