rocks and a promise

I first thought to make entry categories after rocks and minerals, in keeping with the general geogeek tone. Then I thought that was silly and confusing. Now I think I like it again, but I could use some suggestions.

    So far (and these are all real rocks/minerals):

  • hornblende - band/music stuff
  • gneiss - links that are charming and don’t make me angry or frightened
  • apatite - food and beverages
  • garnet! - mild-mannered griping
  • analbite - not-so-mild-mannered griping
  • staurolite - astronomy and celebrity gossip
  • adularia - fan letters, warm fuzzies
  • andalusite - if you haven’t seen Un Chien Andalou, you really should. then you would understand why this category is for dreams.
  • geode - honest-to-god geogeeky stuff
  • angelite - random acts of charity
  • banalsite - what i had for breakfast and other matters of pressing importance
  • blende - miscellaneous
  • blue vitriol - rants that I probably won’t care about in the morning
  • blushing copper - the ones where i talk about my nipples
  • brimstone - religion
  • calamine - silly tests, the Friday Five and other itches you’ve just gotta scratch
  • campylite - i love kitsch!
  • coprolite - pure shite
  • hiddenite - entries you’re not allowed to see
  • jargon - the overly technical
  • mimetite - street performance art
  • perlite - CGI scripts, or programming/design issues generally
  • sardonyx - heaps of scorn and mockery
  • serpentine - snakes and other twisty things
  • specularite - wild guesses
  • tripolite - issues of etiquette
  • tuff - what does not kill me will make me stronger
  • ultralite - super-duper fluffy posts, and pedal-powered airplanes
  • till - agriculture

…and of course I’ve got waay too many categories, some content overlap, and a few that are just there for sake of the pun. Pretty please, email me your favorite 5-10? Or any other categories that need rock names, or rock names that need categories, or just a big ol’ ball of derision if you think this idea is silly.
