Please help. Is glomp an offical word? Is it in a print dictionary.

Settle our discussion.

french was ok. i followed. sort of. ha. and i went to the gym. and it was ok. but i had to avoid people that i’ve only met once about three years ago thru a friend i don’t see anymore. that was annoying. the two of them were ab crunching behind me and i had to make up more exercises so i didn’t leave the room before them. other than that it was ok. but then i came home and did the, i don’t want to go back to uni thing. so i’m going to have to study for that class that i’m missing in twenty minutes. oh well. also, there is a hole in my sock.

Well, I guess I'd better go to French. Or as Look Mum would say, Fraaaaaaunch!

I love french. i’m just behind and not understanding these stupid past participles. well understanding them just not remembering them. sigh times a million. going to the gym at 1 o clock and i’m going to, like, totally power thru it grlfrnd! (ssssssarcasm) i hope i last an hour. i’ve got to stop doing the, go for two weeks and eat well, not go for one week and eat bad thing. oh welll, variety.

“There are two types of women in this world: those who idolize Audrey Hepburn, and those who idolize Marilyn Monroe. Girls who idolize Audrey Hepburn make rad girlfriend material and you can talk about politics with them and still totally do it on the sly on top of the washing machine. Girls that idolize Marilyn Monroe are fucking insane, eat babies, and hate black people.”

Reece posing in his “wheel chair”. What feels like forever ago.

It’s probably been less than a year, but I think it’s safe to say,

that I’ve changed a lot, and I’m starting to feel like I may have grown up.

"‘You’d think people had better things to gossip about,’ said Ginny, as she sat on..."

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 23:29:11 +1030

“‘You’d think people had better things to gossip about,’ said Ginny, as she sat on the common-room floor, leaning against Harry’s legs and reading the Daily Prophet. ‘Three dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it’s true you’ve got a Hippogriff tattooed across your chest.’
Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry ignored them.
‘What did you tell her?’
I told her it’s a Hungarian Horntail,’ said Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. ‘Much more macho.’
‘Thanks,’ said Harry, grinning. ‘And what did you tell her Ron’s got?’
‘A Pygmy Puff, but I didn’t say where.’”

- Great quote from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Poor Ron.

I like my new job, even if I come home smelling like this, and I’ve been hit on at least 5 times, usually by someone old enough to be my father, in a four hour shift.

I have a friend I want to hate

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 23:17:00 +1030

This friend has so unlikable qualities. They range from untrustworthiness to being one of those people that never returns your stuff. Or if they do, it’s been so long you forgot they even had it.

But there’s something that stops me from hating this person.

And it’s one word: charisma.

Charisma oozes out of every pore of this person until you’re covered in it, and you’ve forgotten whatever lie they just simpered through their teeth at you, whatever else they’ve done to hurt you just melts away.

It’s unfair.

I want to hate you bad.

PS hate is a strong word, but…

!

My collection includes, a gazillion pictures from a few years worth of calenders, two books, 1 handbag with this image, and framed tribute thing with gold plated facts about her movies and awards, a card and a few things ripped out of magazines, and a fair few dvds, including the worst movie she was ever in, Charade. (It’s woeful)

Of course, my obsession has dimished somewhat since I wrote that essay at age 13.

That’s quite a nice collection. :-)

I love classic movies in general. Of course, it’s impossible not to like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Roman Holiday. And Audrey herself is beautiful. They don’t make celebrities like that anymore.

I know- that’s why I’m stuck in the past.

(via ali-with-an-i):

I have three new goldfish, who are happy little fishies, or scared to be in a glass bowl, you decide, but they need names.

My previous fish have been named: Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday and A Little Ray of Sunshine.

Something jazzy, snazzy or zippy would do.

Or really, anything that gets suggested. I’m lacking imagination.

If no one suggests something these fish will be called, Tic Tac and Toe.

How about Jazzy, Snazzy, and Zippy? :)
.

Done and done! Excellent! Welcome to the fish bowl Jazzy, Snazzy and Zippy. Zippy will be the small one, he seems really on edge. Jazzy will be the big one ‘cause he’s fat and Snazzy can be the one with the big white splodge, cause that’s Snazzy.

I have never used any of these words, ever. But I wonder if mills has? (I’m going to bet on ‘caducity’).

Meanwhile, I like this one:

Muliebrity The condition of being a woman

If only I’d known there was a word for that (“the condition of being a woman”) I’m sure I would have had many occasions to use it. Is there another?
.

You can’t retire Malison! It’s the only word that rhymes with my name, apart from Palison, which used to feature in primary school taunts. Though I KNOW that’s not a word. Bastards.
