Gosh Darn It, I Got Tagged
But I don't know three people to send this to that weren't already tagged.
Seems like this is the new chain letter? Anyway, I was tagged by Bad Bad Ivy. I, too, changed the rules. There's a random word generator here. The game is afoot. Here's the rules:
The Rules of this here Game:
1. FLIP open a dictionary and point to a word.
2. Type the word into Google images.
3. PICK an image that strikes you.
4. Write a 10 line RIFF off the image.
5. Use the word or the meaning of the word at least once within the first 5 lines of your riff.
6. Tag 3 other bloggers on your list.
The Word:
assuetude
The meaning:
As´sue`tude
n.1.Accustomedness; habit; habitual use. Assuetude of things hurtful doth make them lose their force to hurt.
