"X does not always mark the spot"

What I'm supposed to do: Write ten words beginning with an assigned letter, and an explanation of what the word means to me.

What you're supposed to do: Comment on this entry and I’ll assign you a letter at random. In this case, I'll assign you the random (to me) letter of your middle initial. (If you have more than one middle name, the last one).

I normally don't play these kind of reindeer games, but what the heck. I commented to akirlu and got tagged with/assigned to: X. An odd enough choice that I went with it.

( Ten words starting with X that mean something to me. I didn't even cheat, much. )
