on a lake surrounded by mountains. It had a big sky. I used to tan on a windsurfing board in the middle of the lake, all the while watching the Chicago bound jets fly over Quebec. I hear the lap, lap, lap of the water on the board whenever I hear the word "sky". Complete bliss.

1. Nice post.
I think the word 'wilderness' does the same thing for me.

4. YES
Not original but I like it all the same. Taken from the exhibit from Yoko Ono in climbing a ladder and seeing this written on the ceiling:

7. I think I read that John met Yoko at that exhibit and that particular piece...

8. I was listening to a documentary on John Lennon last night. The night he climbed up the ladder
and saw the word "yes" was the night he met Ono.

I like the way it sounds and I like the way it feels when I say it
and I like what it means.

Definition of MELLIFLUOUS
1: having a smooth rich flow <a mellifluous voice>
2: filled with something (as honey) that sweetens

Edited on Thu Nov-03-11 07:41 AM by AsahinaKimi
in Japanese. Its actually a series of words; "Ichi Nichi Oki".(いちにちおき) It means, every other day. I also like "toki doki" (ときどき)which means "sometimes". And the word "Doki Doki" (どきどき)which means when your heart runs fast! When you are excited, or in love. I like words that roll off the tongue in that way!

19. Serendipity
I like the idea of unplanned things coming together with a favorable result. And the word itself is fun to say.

21. For a long time I could not stand that word. My life was not my own. The outcomes were awful.
Now I like it again.

20. "Characteristic"
I took an oral interpretation class in college. The instructor said that the word had a calypso beat, and I've loved saying it ever since!

Say it like "care - ack - ter - iss - tick!"
