She described one of her peers as a junkie who looked "frumpled" in the photo. I laughed and suggested that this was both frumpy and rumpled. Apparently so... the high school chat led to looking at old photos, which led to me opening a time capsule that I created in 1998 with the intention of opening on my 21st birthday. Now I need to contact the individuals who made predictions about their futures as part if the time capsule. And perhaps create another with current friends for when I'm like, 30. ! I will try to include some of the responses. It seemed that many of them included specific types of vehicles as a part of our futures... though I still don't know anyone who owns a "Carvet"!</span></span>Nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03110577198479563410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33453230.post-57718623687382365902009-11-24T20:36:00.000-08:002009-11-24T20:36:02.683-08:00Word.World<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;">So if you can say, "Oh fiddlesticks", can you also say "Oh drumbows"? It's basically the same thing, isn't it? If you could greet someone, "Hey honey" could you also say "Hey molasses"? Just doesn't have the same ring... how about "What's wrong, sorghum syrup?" instead of "what's the matter, sugar?". I love wordbotchers.</span></span>Nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03110577198479563410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33453230.post-91083217270050716202009-11-24T14:22:00.000-08:002009-11-24T14:22:52.436-08:00Ambidextrocity <span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The focus of my brain (in a subconscious state) has been to combine words and suggest to my rational thought processes that these are actually words. For example, I woke up one morning dreaming of the word "plantsuit" When used in a sentence, "The dress code was the very antithesis of appropriate business dress. She was wearing a plantsuit." Ambidextrocity is, of course, by very circular definition, "the atrocity of being ambidextrous". I once told someone that "I like rainbows and dinosauruses", the latter being a generic term for any creature from allosaurus to triceratops. Once, some other friends and I sat around inventing words out of sticky letters. Funktional, scromple, and bohemenial were from that bunch, along with many other since lost. Funky (as in hip, not grimy) + functional, scramble + romp, and bohemian +menial.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> So the most humorous part for me is I overheard a man, (who channeled Danny Devito in 'Matilda') at the bus station say to another man, "Well now I don't mean to be bragadocious, or have an ego ya know...". Well, now, I have heard of precocious, and also audacious, but never have I ever heard this one.</span></span>Nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03110577198479563410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33453230.post-1156732643925739042006-08-27T19:34:00.000-07:002006-08-27T19:37:23.933-07:00I hope this works!<strong><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#ff6600;">An attempt to post some profile information has been made.

Twenty years old, finally making a stab at having a electronic-media say for myself. Why ever haven't I done this before, you ask? I am admittedly computer illiterate. Not really by choice, mainly the lack of hours to tinker the neccessary clicks, scrolls, and blatantly empty fields. All this shall change, though be forewarned techno-savvy individuals. You'll be sorely dissappointed on a quest for anything on the cutting edge of graphic advances. Remember, I'm so painfully antiquated that typing progresses at a dirge-like pace and I actually prefer the romanticism of handwritten pages. So bear with me, you will know I have become entirely capable in my surroundings when I actually finnaggle a way to post with my handwriting as a font!</span></strong>Nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03110577198479563410noreply@blogger.com0
