Random things that have no particular connection to one other
I am pleased to report that there is such a word as meganology (or meganologie). Of course, it doesn't actually mean the study of Megans, it means "a great speech or discourse", and it appears to be so obscure that it was used once, by some guy in 1656. But still.
I found a nifty vintage blue wool sweater at a thrift store. I am the sort of person who goes into thrift stores on a regular basis and yet never seems to turn up anything that could be worn in any context other than Geriatric 80s Day, or maybe as the fashionable equivalent of a hair shirt, so I count this as a great victory.
You know, the great thing about my long black winter coat is not merely that I can carry my iPod in one pocket and my keys, ID, compact, lip gloss, etc. etc. in the other. No, the really great thing is that, whilst I'm doing this, it furnishes the illusion that I actually have hips. (Of course, once I remove the coat it becomes, er, amply evident that this is not at all the case.)
I bought a paid account for my RP journal that should last until approximately when I leave office, because I am that much of a dork.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
worldaffairs remains one of the best things you can do sober. And also, on occasion, somewhat tipsy, as well.
EDIT: Oooh, I am talented. Having returned the book I wanted this morning at 9:30 and retained the book I was done with and that was due at 9:45, I have accomplished nothing whatever but racking up £5.50 in fines. Go me.
EDIT, NOW WITH ADDED IRRITATION: AIM won't let me sign into two of my accounts. Grr.

Sorry about AIM, has that gotten better?

You might consider dialling down the inflammatory language just a tad. Unless, of course, your goal is to end up on LJ Drama, which seems to be down at the moment, anyway, so you're safe for now.

Have you done that googlism thing where you type in your name and it gives you all the funny things from the first things it pulls up? It's www.googlism.com... It's really rather fun...

However, I also: am known as Caterina Sichling von Nuremberg (I sound like a Mary Sue...); a Hindu name meaning 'no thought' or 'below the consciousness'; am sittin' pretty around the corner and snuggly sipping mimosas (I wish!); and Capcom. :D

I can't find where Megan means anything else... I put it into websters.com and it said, "Did you mean Meg an?" and I clicked on that and it said, "Did you mean Moggan?" hehe...

Access to the Oxford English Dictionary Online is one of the best things about still being in school. ;) Best place to learn about obscure 18th century fashion accessories.

Your search - colinology - did not match any documents.
No pages were found containing "colinology".
The best the OED has to offer seems to be "colinder", an obsolete spelling of "colander"; "Colinderies", "A half-jocular name for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition held in London in 1886"; "coling", a variant of "colling", which means "to cut the hair of", and, of course, colin, as another name for the bobwhite.

Bunnies always get under the tree and rub all the presents and things with their chins so that everyone knows that it all belongs to them. ;)
