Two Words, One Sentence

Oh, what a lovely word you have. Oh my, you have two lovely words. Which two words? Well, the decision is yours of course. 

The object of this game is to take any two words and and use them in a sentence.  However, you will not create a sentence from your words. Instead you will create a sentence usinf the two words that the person who commented above you offered. Then, and only then, do you leave two words for the next person.   

Sound fun? Of course it does. If it does not sound fun then you are not imagining fun words.
Please note that the words can be separated within the sentence but both words must be used in the same sentence.

The Monday Three Things

Three random things I did this past weekend:

• Went for my first bike ride  of the season. Why didn't someone  tell me  how scary big upward hills would be when riding a one speed  bicycle? 
  
• Left my home  at 2.30AM in the  morning, so that I could  go shuttle my mother and her two friends home after they enjoyed an evening of  drinking at a downtown club. Why didn't someone  tell my teenage self that my mother would  indeed  find  a way to pay be back for the many times I called her at post-curfew hours?
  
• Discovered that real life  can offer fairy-tale moments  of wonder. Why didn't someone tell me that  the stroke  of midnight is not always when the coach becomes a pumpkin, but, instead, can be when an unspoken dream is given voice.
  

Your turn. Name three random things  you did  this past weekend.

Another Question From A Blogfriend

This question was not asked  in the Answer and Ask Comment Game

Michele wants to know...

If you could  modify your computer  in any single way, how  would you make it different?

The Answer and Ask Comment Game

It is time to socialise and make small talk.......

How shall we do this?

Let me explain:

The person before you has asked you a question. Now being a pleasant guest you shall answer. See, small talk! Now, you will want to welcome the next guest by asking a question of them.

It really is as simple as answer and ask. Please remember you are a pleasant guest and this is only small talk, albeit of the amusing kind. Some possible questions mght be:

• What book are you reading?
• Where did you get that lovely ensemble?
• Do you think Brad Pitt is over-rated?
• Who was your favourite Bond, James Bond?

Please, keep it non-personal and ask fun questions. And  yes you can come back to mix and mingle, in fact I encourage it.

Question for first person:

If you could  own a single prop from any movie ever made, what would  you choose?

The Word Association Comment Game

Simply post the first word that comes to mind when you read the word in the comment above yours.  The next person will write the word that first comes to mind when they read your word. Sound easy? Oh, of course it does.

Allow me to start:
