Words, words, words.

As prompted by ceitfianna, the Words Meme. Comment with the word "words", and I'll give you five words to write about.

( Here are the words I was given. This will likely get rather long. )

Clearly, this must be Kippurbird's fault.

Or at least that's what we're saying.

You see, she made this entry, mentioning that her cat had taken her Yellow Lantern Ring. Someone commented with a link to a scan of a cat with a Red Lantern Ring. So, naturally, I went on a wikibinge to see what they'd done to the GL cosmology since the last time I looked (around when they made the first Pink Purple Lantern). I feel that their "emotional spectrum" system is fundamentally flawed - in particular, the "emotion" that started it is no emotion by any definition I've ever heard; also, where do you fit things like sadness or annoyance?

Anyway, on my way home today Brain was running through tangents' tangents' tangents, and wanted an analogy for the way I see rap. You can guess, from the previous paragraph, what sort of comparison I drew. (In case I misjudge you, the answer is the Black Rings.) A few minutes later it occurred to me that I can name songs that more-or-less fit each of the colors. Then it branched out from songs to Star Trek species, and then...

Well. You get the idea. So I blame Kip.
