Don't know if this seems weird, but I have the most compelling attraction to the letter "V". Whether a word contains the letter or begins with it, I enjoy the word. Seems many words with "V" in it are quite descriptive and often erotic. Maybe that's what it is. Any takers? IP: Logged |

Doesn't seem too weird, at least.When I think of the letter V these words immediately jump into my mind: voluptuous
vixen
vivid
Eve
evening
forever
Yeah ... don't want to keep following that train of thought here but I agree with you about it being very descriptive and often erotic.  It's also a letter, imo, that has a lot of power. The way your lips have to shape themselves for that sound is very forceful and full of exhale.
I seem to be drawn to the letter "L", alot. Very loose, laidback, lazy, etc. It seems a reminder sometimes to take life a little slower and just let go. IP: Logged |

Perhaps you not drawn to it just in a linguistic sense, but also in the symbolic sense... it is one of the oldest symbols.Obviously, its feminine... the vulva...its symbolic of the Great Goddess, the Mother of All....its also a chevron, which can mean everything from flowing water to the essence of change... its a great letter!

my thoughts immediatly went to the movie "V for Vendetta" Have you seen the movie? At the beginning "V" gives a discertation on his goals in life using entirely words that begin with the letter V Whether or not that type of movie is appealing to you, that particular aspect of it probably would be. The power and magic of words is explored throughout the film V... Velocity
Venom
Vamp
Villain
Virgin This word appears to me to be a feminate word, for you can make very dark words (traditionally yin/feminate) words with it and very 'full' words (such as voluptous and vixen, like Eleanore suggested) but then again here is a masculine word: Virile does the feminate empower the masculine to virility? as far as my understanding goes the feminate is also associated with illusion and deception: Vaudeville
Veil And of course the feminate is always associated with life force Vein
Vessal which can also lead to lack thereof: Vain Indeed the letter V seems to be a linguistic expression of the yin force of nature... ...one woman's opinion! TMC

If you remember, in Da Vinci Code there is quite a bit of symbolism around V. Its shape represents the chalice, the sacred vessel. Thus, the Holy Grail is basically V for vagina, which was the reason for catholic church's conspiracy around it. IP: Logged |

 “Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.”

Gosh, thanks so much themysteryclub....i watched the movie yesterday. i dont have the words to express how i feel. thanks sooooo much  fayte, those are beautiful pics.....absolutely beautiful. Yes, there are no coincidences. I love the movie. 
*edit* I was reading up some more on the movie and read about Alan Moore, and how he distanced himself from the movie because he felt that
"[The movie] has been "turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country.... It's a thwarted and frustrated and largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values standing up against a state run by neoconservatives — which is not what the comic 'V for Vendetta' was about. It was about fascism, it was about anarchy, it was about England." It seems, tht the portrayal of V cooking 'egg yin the basket' as breakfast for Evey, jarred on Alan's senses, because it is not a British meal at all. Just goes to show how much thought he had put into each and every aspect of the novel he wrote. It is like each and every word, has a significance. And when I read this, i just knew he had to be a Scorpio. IP: Logged |
