A-Z blogging challenge "Y" - Y is for...



yaks.



Oh, and there's a place called Yahk, not far from where my brother lives in Canada. I drove through it a few times in the last few years. ;)

yikes is a word I say quite often. "Yikes!" My characters occasionally say the word too.

"yech, that's groooosss!"

yippieeeeee!

y
appy dogs - they grate on my nerves, make me wince, curl my hands into fists, and turn up the music really loud!

y
ammer on...something I've been known to do. Particularly in writing.

y
elp...that's something I did once when I kicked a couch with my toe. I think I broke the thing (the toe, not the couch), 'cause it was never the same shape thereafter. ;)

yo! This really reminds me of the good ole '90s.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Youth Group - some bands.

And...because it's becoming a habit...

  • "Y Control" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  • "Yeah!" - Zwan
  • "You" - Candlebox
  • "You Ain't The Reason" - The 69 Eyes
  • "You Are Here" - Star 69
  • "You Create" - Lacuna Coil
  • "You Say Yes, I Say Yes" - VETO
  • "Young Upstart" - Strike the Colours
  • "Your Voice" - Effigy

Holy crap! I know it looks like I'm all full of ideas here, but really this type of list is a result of having no good single idea to stick to. ;)

One letter to go!!

  4. Reading your post was making me sweat with worry just thinking about trying to come up with so many 'Y' related words.

  5. LOL. It's easy to come up with y-related words, but...to make a whole post out of just one of them? Not so easy...

    Brooke, I agree! LOL. I'm looking forward to not HAVING to post pretty much every day ;)

    @Joyce - very true!

    @Lynda - so I did!! which is odd because I like lots of 'yum' things. hehe. oh, and my favourite brand of dip, Yumi!

    @Lauri - it was an act of sheer "argh, what else do I add?!" that got me started there. :P
