I was given this F by
ka_crow (and I've been out of school for what feels like eons now ;)), and I'm supposed to list ten things that begin with F that I like, with a brief explanation for each.
They are, in no particular order:
fire-What can I say, the little pyromaniac in my head giggles with glee whenever I see a flame. There's something very primal, dangerous, and enticing about the hiss, the crackle and the smoke of a good fire, like it could easily kill you without effort, but won't, as long as you keep it sated.
funnel cake-a staple of boardwalks and fairs, and quite nummy. Messy as hell if they go nuts with the powdered sugar topping, though.
Futurama-One of my favourite cartoons, it had a narrative quality that I feel
The Simpsons lacks, and I like
The Simpsons.
Futurama had characters I enjoyed, some episodes were great fodder for thought (
Godfellas for instance) and some managed to make me cry on more than one occasion. (Yeah, I'm looking at you,
Jurassic Bark. Damn episode gets me every single time)
foxes-they're cute, crafty and are featured in the folklore of many cultures. Busy lil' things, aren't they? :)
Flake-bars of thinly folded Cadbury milk chocolate. They're crumbly and oh so tasty.
felidae-my favourite family of mammals. (also a hard to find cartoon)
fencing- I'd like to learn this, were I not in such horrid shape. (fencing with the épées, not building boundaries)
forts-they're neat, have interesting histories and fun to photograph and explore.
Fifth Element, The-I love this movie. It has a different sort of feel and pacing to it than a typical science fiction flick, has amusing dialogue and is just...fun.
female pirates-there weren't many of them, when compared to the hordes of males on the sea, but quite a few are famous, like Grace O'Malley, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, etc. There is also history of women pirates from Sweden, Norway and China, to name a few countries.
If you like, ask for a letter and I'll give you one.
