What can I say, I love lists and I love little games with myself. In addition to the "word a page that I read lists, I do lots of stream-of-conscious word association. This one came out of a Top Flight Composition Book with the name "Rem. of Things Past" (more on that one later):

Next to this list I jotted some story ideas, inspired by the phrase "little feet." I remember it clearly. I was going to write a story about a woman visiting Japan who buys a Japanese pin that I used to have. A pin that was stolen in break in 3 of 3. I still have the box for the pin.
-tall woman
tan, large feet
-how would it feel to be small and delicate?
-what would she wear it with?
-how would it feel to stand on tip toe and lean your face up to be kissed?
-women say they would like long legs but they never say they want ugly mannish shoes.
Right now, little feet just makes me think of Little Feat though:
I follow all of this stream, except the Bea Arthur -> Abortion. Little Feat also made me think of the band. -HS
