Hit me with a ‘G’ Thang

The love / hate relationship with a letter. The lovely MissE gave the the letter "G" for 10 things I like and 10 things I dislike. Gee it was a hard letter hahaha!

Likes

1. Gold
I love gold, what can I say, it’s beautiful, can come in such ornate designs, great way to decorate. I love my gold watch, my gold chains, rings, pendants, bracelets, broaches and I want MORE!

2. Giuseppe Verdi
My favourite composer. Fact. I saw Rigoletto last year it was unbelievable, I challenge anyone to a better concerto than La Donna e Mobile. Early this year La traviata, okay I was whiling Violetta to die already by the third act but the music is to die for.

3. Google
What did we do before Google?

4. Gargoyles
I know many people think they are ugly, but I think they are wonderful, beautiful and a timeless piece of art history.

I have however said about a guy I met ‘he looked like a gargoyle’ and no, that’s not positive hehehe












5. George Gershwin
They can’t take that away from me…

Growing up watching musicals I don’t even know where to start with his marvellous tunes. Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Judy Garland all sang his songs. With a line up such as them, Gershwin is a hit.

6. Giovanni Ribisi
I’m a huge fan of his work, an obscure actor that most people wouldn’t know him, I thought he was sensational in Basic and Boiler Room, I’m looking forward to seeing Perfect Stranger. He’s a great edgy actor (you may know him as Phoebe’s brother in Friends)

7. Gothic Architecture
Kinda cheating here, I love gargoyles remember. Beautiful gothic architecture, I could just walk around Europe for days on end fantasising of another time…

8. Gucci
Specifically my Gucci boots, I open the box and the scent of leather is intoxicating, the feel is smooth, I love to caress the curve of the boot. The heel is a 4” gold bamboo, the undulating bumps send shivers up my spine thinking about it.

They look so sexy, I feel so sexy when I wear them, however I don’t wear them often, as I’m too afraid to scuff them.

9. Gymnastics
I loved gymnastics as a kid. I went once a week after school for years. I could do cart wheels on balance beam, I once did a back flip. The bars I would have twirling competitions with A. I wanted to be a gymnast. Ha, now I struggle to touch my toes and the closest I’ll get to it is watching the Olympics

10. George Castanza
Can’t Stand Ya! How hilarious is this character! Many years of watching him, laughing with him, at him, feelings of overwhelming embarrassment. So great! I miss Seinfeld.

Remember: It’s not a lie if you believe it

Dislikes

1. Giant woman
I have an irrational fear of woman that is both taller and fatter than me. I can’t control it. I try to avoid them but proximity is still an issue.

2. Ghosts
I don’t actually believe in ghosts, I never want to be proven wrong.

3. Gravity
What can I say… I don’t want my breasts to hang, we blame gravity. It is interesting however, if gravity was a little lighter we would all be taller.

4. Green Day
I don’t like a single song and don’t understand the hype!

5. Gangster lingo
It’s ridiculous! The kids of today have such little comprehension of the English language and there they are talkin’ like Snoop... Gangster Dictionary .

6. Gadgets
They may be great but I just don’t have the patience to work out how to use them!

7. Gypsy’s
There were so many Cikáni, when I was in Czech Republic, they were on almost every street corner begging for money. There were groups of kids that would work in packs and pick pocket from not only the tourists but the locals. Travesty on such beautiful lands. Read a little on history of Cikáni České Republika.

8. Garbage
It’s smelly and consuming the environment. What’s to like?

9. Gardens – the upkeep
Gardens are pretty; the maintenance to hard for me to deal with. I have a weakness for landscape architects, each one I’ve seen is damn hot

10. Gastroenteritis
Enough said - Yuck

How can you not like Greenday, they got some good songs. But then again, I dont know what songs you know by them! Are you a bit in to rock music? Great list btw, hard to think of 10 things that start with 1 letter when you have too. Even if u had the option to choose out of multiple letters, but thats just me haha.

I'm with Jewel. If you don't like greenday you're either too old or too boring.

Google...

I use it more than I type in links to sites...

George Costanza is my hero!

Doll Face said...

jewel, i'm not a huge fan of rock, i find their music too melancholic for me, i prefer something uplifting. If you know of any tracks feel free to let me know.

Scum - too old? too boring? too fast to jump to that conclusion mister.

stormin' - so do i ;-)

Ant, your hero heheheh and here i was thinking it was your dance teacher :-P

Tanith said...

Wow Scum!! Hold it right there. I never said she is too old or too boring! Don't get me wrong here. She just doesn't know the right songs. Try and find the song 'Holiday' by Greenday, that song always cheers me right up!
