twelve words

four years blogging, and i'm only half-professional. i say half because i believe i've got enough quarrel and drama on my blogs during the last year: the recent ones here, and a very amusing argument with someone from my homeland about the local government's lousy works (in another blog, no longer published). now, to be a complete blogger, i need only to have someone passing over to me one of those chains that we reply in a post, and then pass the challenge to someone else. life's unfair.

anyway, i'm taking over a very popular one that's roaming free on the portuguese blog world. i'm starting here - i have to say my twelve favourite words. the reasons for them to be favourite are not important, i believe, but one can always explain them. so, here it goes:

1) endlessly - i like the way it sounds, really.
2) indeed - quite a charming way to reafirm something.
3) wyvern - same as 1, and it reminds me a very nice m:tg game card.
4) parallax - 'l' is a beautiful sound, isn't it?
5) whirlwind - it is.
6) bleak - indeed.
7) ancient - a respectful and meaningful way to say old.
8) scratch - it sounds funny. and it reminds me of scrat, the sabertooth squirrel disaster of ice age.
9) sybil - back to the 'l' - thank you, mrs. vinge, for this one!
10) underworld - self-explanatory for anyone who knows a little of myself.
11) mushroom - it also sounds funny.
12) piggyback - the things we learn by translating articles on information technologies.

done. now i pass it over to shelyra, alice and angie. in portuguese, of course - i'll do the same on my other world.
