O Mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very tired of swimming about here, O Mouse!

Lest I forget my obligations, here are my lists for this round of the Letter Meme.

~Post a comment and I'll randomly assign you a letter (A-Z in the English alphabet).
~Then you have to respond by listing ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter.
~Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

Sublime owlacrobat gave me S:
• Sappho (Although they are only breath, words which I command are immortal.)
• subjunctive mood
• Sweeney Todd (What happened then, well that's the play, and he wouldn't want us to give it away.)
• Stoicism (Where is the good? In the will. Where is the evil? In the will. Where is neither of them? In those things which are independent of the will.)
• Spencer (This weekend, I dreamt he got out and was hit by a car...when I awoke I hugged him until he meeped in surprise.)
• squares
• stories ('Are you sure of what your Mummy told you?' said Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog. 'Are you quite sure? Perhaps she said that when you uncoil a Tortoise you must shell him out of the water with a scoop, and when you paw a Hedgehog you must drop him on the shell.')
• shark tonic/hypnosis
• second base
• science, mad
• stockings

Wicked eriktdahl gave me W:
• wordplay
• wang
• Watership Down (Why don't you get washed, Hawkbit?)
• wheat beer (preferably unfiltered)
• wasabi
• Wonderland (For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.)
• my workshop (I stay home, reading books that are beneath me, and working on my work, which no one understands. I am a sensitive artist.)
• whistling in the dark
• worms in love (Well, most worm-like critters actually creep me right out. But I suppose I find their wormitude fascinating. In a creeped-out way.)
• Wednesday Addams

The lists, of course, are in no particular order.
