Thursday Thirteen #70
Thirteen Things I love that begin with the letter O 1. Obsidian: Like the way the word rolls off my tongue…do you know obsidian is made from a volcano?
2. Odor: I love odors, as long as they’re good!
3. Octopus: Any animal that can change colors is ok by me!
4. Ok: I adore words in the affirmative!
5. Odds Bodkins: Love English minced words!
6. October: My very favorite month of the year!
7. Occlumency: Another Harry Potter spell; one that Snape is VERY good at. “From the Latin “occlude,” meaning “to close, shut up, close off.” This is the defense of the mind against external attack. Occlumency is the only way to protect one’s mind from someone using Legilimency.“
8. Ocean: I love the ocean, there is nothing more calming than listening to waves breaking on sand…given they’re not too strong!
9. Opportunity: Nothing like the right opportunity coming your way!
10. Oops!: hehehe this word makes me laugh
11. Oui: Another affirmative word, and one French one I don’t mind!
12. Osmosis: I swear that’s how I learn, by osmosis LOL!
13. Over the Hills and Far Away: My second favorite Led Zeppelin song!
Many have I loved – many times been bitten
Many times I’ve gazed along the open road
Many times I’ve lied – many times I’ve listened
Many times I’ve wondered how much there is to know

Creative TT! Why “O” though?
May 30th, 2007 at 8:13 pm
Thank you for a very “original” post.
Happy TT!

I will never hear the word oops in a good way anymore. “She” has ruined the word for me

I love your alphabetical take on the T13 meme.
And #13 really resonated. We’ve been exposing our 12 year old more and more to classic rock like Led Zeppelin.

October, Opportunity and Ocean are my favorites
May 30th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
Another great list, of course! I like October and (good) Odors too, but I have yet to visit an ocean.

When I was little, I had a piece of obsidian. What a gorgeous thing; it was like black glass. And on the other side, a plain old rock. Which just made it all the cooler.
Happy TT!

Hmm, which French words don’t you like?
What’s your FIRST favorite LZ song? I think mine is Black Dog.

“O” my. An impressive list of O’s there. I don’t even think I could think of 13 ‘O’s on a dime. Great work. Happy Thursday

Outstanding list! I know, just being obnoxious copying you.
Have a great weekend!
May 30th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
Ocean is very cool!
Can’t wait to read the last Harry Potter book!
I don’t think I’ know that song, but I like the phrase, seems soothing.

I love that photo of Johnny Depp . . . totally cool . . . great list, too!
May 30th, 2007 at 10:47 pm

May 30th, 2007 at 11:12 pm

Happy Thursday !!!

Interesting list. I don’t think I could have thought up as many O’s. Well not as interesting as yours anyway. Great list!
May 31st, 2007 at 6:39 am
you left out “THE BIG O”!!!!!
May 31st, 2007 at 8:23 am
Osmosis, I think is the only way I get around the city or highways at all, just keep going….by feel. And I think it is the way I learn too…just yesterday I figured out not by lesson or logic…how to make my blogrolls into contained boxes…only by experiment and feel…Oh Laura’s comment was funny that you left out the big O…blush!!! Love the Zep….Janet we must be a siilar generation, what with Zep and Bury My Heart, hey sister friend have a great weekeknd!!!!

Speaking of octopi, did you check out my response to your question in the Pirates 3 rant, er, review?
Would love your opinion on that.
May 31st, 2007 at 9:21 am
OH! I do love the OH sound. Does oui really count? Your mention of Led Zepplin caused me to fine this: http://www.ifilm.com/video/2479576 One of my favorites!

Wonderful list! Oceans are beautiful and delightful to listen too and watch, but I don’t like to dip into them! Had a very nasty encounter with a giant jellyfish in my teens, it still haunts me! lol
Happy Thursday!

Obsidian is a great word. Sounds very sharp somehow.
May 31st, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Yet another nifty list. I love the ocean too.
