I like language, I like the one I use 99% of the time and get annoyed when people who should know better use it wrongly…but I like wrong words too (contradictory moi?!)
So this is my wrongity wrong word list…
Awesomeness: denoting something is awesome, easy.
Ackcherloi/Acktuarly: much better spelling.
Eated: contributed by M+, the act of having eaten.
Speshul: again better spelling.
Electrickery: bonus points for reference
doing LOLcat adding “ing” and “ation” at the wrong time
Purdy and gawn: ‘cos down on the range talk is the kewlest.
Kewl: from V, and useful for when my c isn’t working.
Teef: works for both teeth and thief.
Sees: To see, to have seen, pretty much anything involving sight.
Misunderestimated: thank you Mister Bush.
Prix/fur/de/la: pinching foreign words a grand tradition…
What are your wrong, but oh so right, words?
(and yeah substance will return at some point…)

I’m in a listing kind of mood of late, I don’t feel inclined to use some parts of my brain at the moment for various reasons so today I present to you 42 random books that I own. They really are random I just grabbed them from the shelves…some say something about me, some mostly say I buy books and then don’t finish them.

I’ve started and abandoned about five blog entries in the past week and half. They’ve just wittered, or meandered off the point. I make no guarantees that this won’t do the same… Continue Reading…

Well my biggest assignment is gone done. I’m going to hand it in on Monday. Providing I remember it along with the stupidly large library books that I chose to take out of the college library.

Right am going to be quite strict with myself and have a week and a bit self-enforced ban from blog and Facebook (Twitter is less time eating, as is Flickr, oh and if you’re in a nosy mood I’m playing around with Formspring too).

Last day of my half term (and it is actuately referred to as half term not “reading week” or “study week” so in theory I’m not obliged to do anything), and am feeling sort of like I’m at least running in the right race, even if I’m nowhere near winning.
So far I have:
- Completed my report for the world’s dullest practical (put stuff in test tube, heat, cool, put other stuff in test tube, take bits of mixed stuff out, see if it changes colour of other stuff, stop when it stops changing colour of other stuff, repeat). He gave us no word count but said that the introduction part should at the very least equate to an essay. In my head an essay is 1000 words so that’s what I aimed for, and have ended up with a 15 page assignment. Which is going to be one of two things a) too short and I will discover that L (who is by far the smartest in the class by a long mile-she’s also quite nice too, so this is said factually rather than jealously) has submitted something of about 30 pages, or b) it’s far too long and he will pull one of those faces at me.
- Completed my creative writing piece, which was fooking harder than it should’ve been after not having been creative in far too long. The lovely MissMax had a peruse through to check it wasn’t utter crappola. I’m still worried it’s mawkish, but my head is now so filled with enzyme theory that short of making up a story about some jolly lyases I’m a creative void now.
- Almost finished draft three billion of my “I’m really lovely please let me in your university on the basis of this rather than me having to get on my knees” statement. But I have a dangling last sentence, and frustratingly can’t complete the form altogether till Monday at the earliest because I need some info from the course admin.
- Managed for my research project bit-2 email interviews, 1 further one waiting to be replied to and one telephone interview. Whored myself shamelessly in an effort to get information, and have got very worried that the word limit of 2500 is really not going to be enough for what I want to say. (I did already mention this weeks back to JNBT where I asked if if he “realised you have opened Pandora’s box”, to which his not tremendously helpful response was “I know but it needs opening” and then cackled like some kind of fooking Bond villan).
- Gone for walk around a reservoir.
- Consumed an entire packet of mozzarella, most of a packet of edam and a bit of red leicester.
- Got into an argument about Facebook statuses, and consequently am no longer allowed to mention certain other human entities at all on the internet.
