And today, the letter G

Following the meme chain from Firesheep Blog:

1. Comment here and get a a letter.
2. Write 10 things you like that begins with the letter. I made it not nessecarily by order.
1. Games, computer games, and adventure games.
2. Gumpry Gamer, AKA Ron Gilbert. The genius behind Monkey Island. He deserves to have his own car.
3. Guybrush Threepwood. My favorite fictional character ever. On a clear day I can look like him in Monkey Island 2.
4. Gourmet cooking, which is what I cook. I made a flalimg fried pineapple for desert yesterday.
5. Getting drunk. I don’t often do, but when I do it’s extra fun.
6. Going abroad. I love it. Airtravelling is Fun !
7. Geo-synchronous orbit. Hey ! You gotta love Geo-synchronous orbit ! Other wise how will you have internet communications and play world of warcraft ?
One day I plan to put something there that’s big enough to block out the sun.
8. Grandma. I love my grandmother. She made it to 90 two weeks ago, and she looked great yersterday when we visited her. Even managed to stand up without help. while I knew 3 out of my 4 two-level-up ancestors, I can say I only called my father’s mother Savta.
8. Geeks. Love thy neighbor. I am one, I love others. Geeks and Geekettes alike.
9. Google. Why it’s so corny and uncreative to say I love google, I do.
Same as I think Microsoft as the evil empire, I think of google as the exact opposite.
I love google and I can’t live without it.
10. Grep. Another thing to find lines in files. Regular expressions are very powerful. FYI : the letter g gets you to the beginning of the file in less and G to the end. don’t know if “G in less” deserves an item if it’s own.

For extra credit:

17.Green onions / Scallions.I love it so much I grow my own scallions.
18. George Lucas Silly me, All this time i’m thinking : GOD ! Why didn’t i get an easy letter like “S” where I write about Star wars or Star trek, when in fact I had the name of this god to put on the list all this time.
19. Gene Roddenberry see 18.
20. Girlfriend I love my girlfriend who challenged me (non verbally) to top her off her off and write 20 items instead of her measly 10.
