'f' it

I saw this over at Osbasso’s who saw it somewhere else, and figured I would play along. He gave me the letter “F”. An interesting choice Os. I didn’t know what letter to expect, but for some reason, it was not F.

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and if you'd like to play, I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your blog, including an explanation of why you chose it, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.

1. fabulous—I find myself saying this (or rather, typing) word more and more these days. Not sure why.
   
   
2. film—In college I studied Photography. Traditional film is still one of my favorite ways to shot, although the ease of digital has wooed me on more than one occasion. If I could just get my hands on that Digital Canon Rebel I’ve been eyeing, I could have the best of both formats, plus the capability to share lenses between cameras (since I shoot with a Canon Rebel).
   
   
3. foodie—I’m a total foodie. I love to eat, I love to cook, I have a pure unadulterated passion for all things delicious. If you ever have the pleasure of dining with me, you will surely be subjected to sounds of ecstasy as I savor each bite.
   
   
4. fruit—I love fruit. Almost any kind of fruit. Berries, melons, citrus, whatever. When I was a young girl—maybe 7—I got in trouble at my Grandma’s sister’s house for eating too much fruit. If that’s not asinine, I don’t know what is.
   
   
5. foot—In general I’m not a fan of feet, but I do like mine. I have a really high arch that I think is cool. In college, one of my art school peers asked me to walk around the back stairwell with my feet dipped in red paint for an installation piece. Much of her class commented on how high my arches were—I’ve loved them ever since.
   
   
6. fortune—At least 15 years ago I put a coin in one of those old Fortune Teller machines at Cedar Point, like the one in the movie Big. It gave me my fortune & said my lucky number was 7. It still is.
   
   
7. funny—Although it may not be apparent in my blog, I at times can be incredibly funny. It’s a drier sense of humor, that thankfully a lot of my students enjoy (or at least get). It really doesn’t matter to me if they think I’m funny or not—like my Mom always said, “As long a you think you’re funny, that’s all that matters.” Well said Mom, well said.
   
   
8. folio—A piece of paper or parchment. I took a class in college called The Art and Process of the book. It was an incredible class and from it I gained a greater appreciation for the printed page. I teach my students how to make books and do Japanese bindings, as well as make books of my own.
   
   
9. female—Well this is an obvious one. I really enjoying being a woman, despite all the awkward things we have to go through. Being a woman is really empowering & I wouldn’t want it any other way. Although it would be interesting to see what it’s like to have a penis for a day.
   
   
10. fire—My element. Not only as a Leo in Western Astrology, but also from being born in the year of the Dragon in Chinese Astrology. Double Whammy. Hot.
