Stupidly late int0rn3t fad, and a notice.

Here's how it works: You comment on this entry and I will respond, giving you a letter. Then you take that letter and write ten words beginning with it, including an explanation of what each word means to you and why.

open_heart_zoo gave me "T"

1. Transformers My obsession since I was what, 7? The only one I didn't like was Beast Wars. I love the way it's been re-imagined. I have the joy of passing my mania on to my nephew. I adore the rush I get when i'm on my way to buy one. The smell of a new one straight out of the box is divine. I still smile at the memories of each time I got a new one, the way I had to attempt to transform them before looking at the instructions. Although I miss the Tech Specs you used to get with the toys that you used to have to weigh up carefully before choosing a soldier to add to your former army. I think that they're responsible for the first time I wanted to murder somebody - A ginger big eared american brat named Charlie moved to our estate. His "Pa" worked at Hasbro. He had toys you couldn't get in this country. Until he came along I was "the lad with all the formers". They he swiped it and I was then demoted to "the boy with the huge teeth". Thanks a bunch Chuck.

2. Tekken I am THE King of Iron Fist. No messing. Only two of my bro's (Rups and Nick) can even draw blood. Notable Highlights include playing Darren for four hours straight one night without losing a round, even when I was playing as Mokujin or Panda. No wonder later he would try and stab me.

3. Thierry Henry What. A. Legend. I'm so stoked that he scored the final Hat-Trick at Highbury. I'd love him to win the Champion's League with us. I love the way he gets what we have going with Tottenham. He epitomises the Wenger era, and if he leaves, so be it. He's done so much for us already. And he could have gone to Real when he was 25.

4. T-Shirts But only with stuff on them. Logos, slogans, jokes or dead icons. Especially dead or fictional icons given the football shirt treatment. <3 Ringspun. And the hairs always stand on my neck when I put on my Muse shirt from Earl's Court on 20th December 2004. Like they did in the post-piano pre-sledgehammer riff quiet bit in New Born that night. Wow.

5. TorquayThe only place in the U.K apart from London that I would live (Since Newcastle was taken by my sister, anyhow.) Beach, Booze, perfect weather, for both Hot and Cold seasons. Tons of shops and quiet places, but busy enough that I don't go mad. So yeah, move to South London, then to Torquay. Or maybe get a holiday home there.

6. Trainers But only my Custom Shox Low-Bomber. These babies: whoa! nuff said.

7. Tiramisu The dessert of Kings. I could live off these. God i'm hungry.

8. Tyrion This works on two levels. llow my genius. Firstly, he's my favourite Lannister in "A Song of Ice and Fire", my joint-favourite Fantasy series. It's by George R.R Martin, so go checkit.

And secondly, He was the leader of my Elven Warhammer Army back in the day. Much better than his gaylord brother Teclis, He was a mighty warrior who wore Dragonskin. He's that hard. Happy days.

9. Trees Both the big ones you can hug or invite into your house at Christmas, and my slang term for Weed. I like the "Oneness" being utterly stoned gives me. Or the focus I gain when snapping out of a reverie induced by it.

10. Tyrannosaurus Rex The Tyrant Lizard King is the best Dinosaur ever. The greatest Creature to walk this Earth. God how I wanted to be Grimlock - He was a T-Rex and a Transformer.

Tottenham nearly made this list, but slipped out of contention at the last minute *chortle*
