Foundation.
Rocks are a good foundation. They're strong and don't mind things being built on them. The earth is general is a bit like that, actually. When you really think about it, the entire world is a good foundation. Bugs and bacteria and water are all things that we would be screwed without. They're a strong, solid foundation for us the build upon, either with more complex life forms such as humans in general, or physically, with skyscrapers for fancy CEOs and tiny little houses on the outskirts of cities that are warm and snug - homely.

Ears. (oh, this is gonna be a good one.)
Ears are weird. You have these stupid flaps of skin and cartilage on the sides of your head that don't do much to help your hearing. They always struck me as strange. They're good for piercing, though. And stretching.
Stretched ears, on the other hand, are very cool. Steel tunnels, wooden carvings, acrylic tapers, and silicone plugs are all brilliant. See, this is where I'd really like to rant and rave on about discrimination against modification, but that's definitely not the purpose of the bottle block.

Froth. (don't laugh.)
When I think of froth, the first thing that comes into my head is coffee. A nice, tall vanilla latté. The smell of Costa at Christmas time, or Starbucks in the spring. I used to go and sit in there and write on my iPod with a coffee and a croissant to keep me company, writing stories about the people around me.
The second thing that comes into my mind when I think of froth is the foam floating on the water of the river down in the fields. It's a quiet stream, really. Quite deep in places, though. I remember when I first started going down there into the woods, perching on the fallen tree that formed a bridge from one side to the other, watching the pale green stuff ride the sluggish current, passing over the mossy green slime. And then, further down the river, where the two tall oak trees stood tall and strong, the foam collected, forming a thin layer of strangely smelling white stuff.
