Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

But it's a *pretty* word!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can't see them change. Sometimes you can't see them at all, and wonder where their flexing and releasing went, how it can hide itself so deeply.
But the dress you bought three weeks ago, in a large because medium wouldn't come off past your shoulders without you calling in a friend for help, sticks on your shoulders as you try to get it off. A pull, a twist, and you're saved embarassment.
Extra large? Really?
You look in the mirror again. They look like shoulders. Yours. Nothing more, nothing special.
What a strange lie for a reflection to tell.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

You dropped the "u'". It's supposed to be cousine. All about girly cousins in the banlieus of Paris. Kind of like the old Patty Duke Show, but with a cherchez la femmes feel.
Perkins, do song titles. Pick a song title, your choice, and write a drabble around it.
Alternately, cake.
Or footsteps/footprints.
Or nerves.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
filament. firmament. filbert. filet. fillet.
There's an f and l theme here in this post.
ita, yours is very conversational, very you.
Daisy, I like yours a lot. I can't wait to see what you settle on as your final version.

I like that word.
Not that I get a vote, since I can't find time to write even 100 words anymore.

Errr...I was asking for words for my topic pick, not topics. All of your suggestions have been added to my list though. As I mentioned, I will be doing song titles, though slightly differently from your suggestion.

Then I'm completely not getting what it is you're asking for. What is it exactly that you need, and what's the end purpose?
Words? Just individual words? Footsteps is a word. So is nerves. So is cake.
Not getting it. What do you need single words for? Purpose, please, ma'am?

Just words, to collect into a list of words, which I will then use for the challenge, similar to what was done here Steph L. "The Great Write Way" Jul 11, 2004 8:02:56 pm PDT or here Steph L. "The Great Write Way" Jan 11, 2005 7:37:58 am PST Sorry for any confusion.
Thanks for all of the words so far. It may take me a while to get to the challenge (darn that work thing), so please feel add more.
