Things I Love

[piomega4]

I love:

• diphthongs. Not the way the word 'diphthong' is spelled, though. It's weird and annoying.
  
• English words whose only vowel is 'w,' like cwm and crwth. They're how I win at hangman.
  

That is all.

I was in concert choir my senior year of high school and we discussed diphthong pronunciation on several occasions. So when we went on our trip to NYC, we decided to play a (very high-school) practical joke on our director by buying a couple of pairs of thongs in musical note print and writing "dip" all over them (we ignored the h because we agreed that it was dumb, and our director always said it like "dip-thong" anyway), then putting them in a brown bag and leaving it outside his hotel room door.

He never knew who did it, but he hung them on the piano when we returned to school. We thought it was hilarious, although I guess you kinda had to be there.
