Favorite Things Meme

Via unselko , who has assigned me the letter A:

The task is to list ten things you love beginning with a certain letter.  If you'd like to play, tell me in the comments and I will randomly assign you a letter.


  1. Avocados: they are delicious when fresh and not at all over-ripe, full of saturated fat and Lent-compliant. :)  Too bad they're so expensive right now. :(
  2. Angels:  it's fascinating to study about them as an order of creatures. (See the Book of Tobit.)  Bible stories are always more entertaining with angels because when one shows up, someone nearly wets himself.
  3. Antonyms: I actually use these to try to figure out the word I was *really* looking for, but has currently slipped my mind.
  4. Alligators:  But only if you say it like this: AH - LEE - GATE - TORS.  Pausing between syllables is very important, as well as unnecessarily stressing the consonants.
  5. Adams, Douglas:  Still my favorite novelist.
  6. Whitey, the albino rat in "Flushed Away":  He's so adorable when he's being innocent and clueless, and hilarious when he's pulling the other hench-rat's leg. :D
  7. Analgesics: because they are so very necessary to being to move after kneeling for an hour at Mass. :P
  8. High Altars:  I can't seem to take a table quite as seriously as they want to take themselves; the table-altars are like those belligerent short people that  are always thrown in for comic relief.  High altars leave no question as to What We Are Here For.
  9. Ambidexterity:  I can do some stuff with both hands but not enough to qualify. Still, it would be extremely cool.
  10. Ave Marias: because they make Our Lady so very happy. By extension, they also make Our Lord happy, because if his mama ain't happy, ain't *nobody* happy. ;)
