10:56 pm	Archiving, wot? Wee fic I wrote for kinkme_merlin, in response to the challenge: Arthur/Knights, gang bang. A young Arthur is initiated as a knight of Camelot, with some gratuitous M/A, because I have a one-track mind like that.

12:21 am	"Lad, I don't know where you been, but I see you won first prize..." - Bryan Bowers, The Scotsman Congrats, Mr Obama and supporters. :o) icarusancalion made this post re: Proposition 8, stating that mocking religion really isn't getting us anywhere on changing people's minds about gay marriage (but she explains it a whole lot better). Go fill out your Nightmare Pairing Pledge at mctabby's journal. Go on, it'll be fun (and fandom-liberal :D), I promise! How come these people came to Belgium and I didn't know about it? There was Morena Baccarin (Inara from Firefly), Paul McGillion (Carson Beckett from SGA), Sue Hodge and Arthur Bostrom (both from 'Allo 'Allo). 20f7 linked to a list of Dan Quayle quotes. (He was Vice President under Bush Sr.) I'm still laughing: "Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." Uh, good for them? I'm going home again this weekend. :o) ETA: OMG, why did nobody tell me I spelled "address" with one "d" in my previous post? *facepalms* Current Mood: sleepy (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:26 am	Random Post of Randomness The strangest thing happened today. First I find out one of my classmates is a slasher (she admitted to the fanfiction, I admitted to the slash at her prompting, then she started to explain the concept of NC-17 to me... ahaha), and while we were babbling about it, she said something like "I just can't help seeing the slash in every movie now" and a girl sitting pretty close to us on the bench said "Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one." Guys, SURREAL. Also, AWESOME. :D Some pretty cool pictures of the sun. #16: Dude, stop preachin', there ain't nobody to hear ya out there! At some point last week I discovered failblog.org, and ended up going to bed way, way too late. I only ever find out about these websites by accident! Some favourites: Cooked or fried? Braille fail. ... Ahaha, oh, seriously. Dogs now enjoying Wii, too. Beware of old ladies. They usually carry big handbags. Sex ed for under sevens. No comment. Also love: bash.org, engrish.com. I happened to stumble upon this: David Tennant will be leaving Dr Who. In 2010. :p I hope he'll be playing some roles in which he can put that cute Scottish to use, after! Funny thing we learned in English phonology today: "ye" (as in "ye olde barn" or, uh, something) is simply an old spelling of "the". Apparently, the Anglo-Saxons used a rune-symbol for "the", which looked a lot like a "y" when hand-written. When they started printing books, the printers bought their characters in Europe (I think he said Germany?), where they didn't have the rune symbol, of course, so they figured the "y" was close enough. So, no pronouncing it "ye", folks. :p If all goes well, I'll be going home on Friday. Consider this my warning for radio silence during the weekend. :o) Current Mood: sleepy (5 Comments |Comment on this)

6:45 pm	Halp! Um, remember when I asked for funny examples to use for various definitions of various words? OK, now I kind of need the opposite. I need to find an example sentence for the word "come" as a noun, and I'd like it to be something slightly less, er, obvious than he wiped come off his belly, which is honestly the only sentence that comes to mind that isn't completely porny, but still illustrates, you know, what it is. :/ It's a bit of a challenge, really...

7:17 pm	Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine. - Robert C. Gallagher. That quote meme that went around a week or two ago: When you see this post, post your own SGA quote. "Colonel." "Colonel." "Colonel." "Colonel." "... Seriously?" ( Gratuitous Firefly quotage - probably the most hilarious scene, like, ever. ) And, I was going through my posts last week, flocking the more personal ones, and I came across the lyrics meme. Oh, yes, you can feel it coming, don't you? ( Song meme. C'mon, you know you wanna play! ) :D :D :D (4 Comments |Comment on this)

4:04 pm	She had a garden full of gesneriads - and the poets wept. So I have finally finished compiling those definitions. Wow, that took a bit longer than I expected. Honestly, Longman's Dictionary of Contemporary English came recommended by the teachers, and I already had it, so. But it totally sucks for this kind of thing. Most of the other dictionaries I found at the library were no better, mind. In the end, I had to turn to the online Merriam and Webster dictionary for a bit of sanity in enumerating the various definitions. I still have to pretty it up (make the definitions sound like they've been written by one person, rather than taken from about four different dictionaries), but the definitions as such stand, so if anyone wants to try and come up with amusing examples, that would be great. (I'm pretty sure about half the meanings are impossible to work into an amusing sentence, but others have potential. ;-)) If you have any comments on the form/division of the definitions/etc, those are most welcome, too, because I've never done anything like this. In which come turns out to be a pain in the arse, and rane_ab learns about elephants in must. (Comment on this)

1:40 pm	Can I borrow your sense of humour, please? So, for our English class, we each need to define 8 of 2200 most used words. (Terribly exciting, I know.) Then, we get onto the even more riveting task of actually studying said definitions. So, I wondered if there wasn't a way to make this a bit more entertaining, and I thought, hey, we need to use example sentences as used in most dictionaries, but really, there is no reason for them to be so terribly dry, is there? So, um, help me come up with a few amusing sentences to illustrate my 8 words? They can be either quotes or the products of your own superior sense of humour. Plz not to get me in trouble with the Higher Powers, though, so kinky is out (I know, so sad), unless you can make it one hell of a double entendre. These are my words: only, come (*facepalms*), get, work, over, day, must, through. These are actually the 8 most used words (apparently, they left out the "the"'s and "of"'s of this world), and they actually kind of sound like bad porn, put next to one another like that. But that may just be me. ETA: It would probably help if I included the various definitions I need an example for. :p ( Adding them as I go. ) ETA 2: OMG, "come"'s got about a hundred gazillion definitions! *whimpers* Current Mood: sleepy (3 Comments |Comment on this)
