omg, this quiz is too cool.

You will be smothered under a rug. You're a little
anti-social, and may want to start gaining new
social skills by making prank phone calls.

the glitter contacts cost $85-90 per lens, according to my optometrist. that's really not the range of frivolous expense i can justify, massively cool as it would be to have sparkly eyes. he said that he had fitted some teenagers with them already (i guess the targeting of the website worked). those are some teenagers with some rich (or very indulgent) parents, i tellya.

xelqued!!

I feel sorry for any child who tries to play The Castle of Eliv Thade. In this Neopets game, you move around a board by unscrambling sets of letters into real words. In my opinion, very few of the words in this game would actually be in the vocabulary of the average early teen (the main target audience of the site). Even I have to cheat by using a web site to reshuffle the letters into recognizable words, and the words which, as far as I can tell, are complete nonsense do not help, such as glebe and gremble. Now, grebe I would know - it's a kind of bird. And gyre and gimble I might get, because everyone knows that's what you do in a wabe. But whoever heard of glebe and gremble? (The amusing implication that "Jabberwocky" is perfectly sensible, real words which are not nonsense is not intended, but quite appreciated.)

And xelqued? WTF is xelqued?? (Besides "a word which I'm surprised didn't turn up somewhere in Douglas Adams"!) I think I'm going to start using it as a curse word.

I made this comment in gremliness's journal just now, but the more I look at it, the more I think it needs its own entry here. (Partly I just like the use of tupperware as a verb.)

Interesting... it's been something I've known for some time, and that I just had been particularly thinking about tonight (for other reasons), that I need to have this tribe thing to feel connected and satisfied. I am not a highly social critter; I like to have lots of private time and generally be alone except for those times which I designate - but I like to have a group of like-me's that I see on a fairly regular basis (weekly, or bi-weekly at a minimum). I currently have no such tribe, thus I feel adrift and lonely. I tend to get concentrated doses at things like tyrsalvia's parties, but I've not yet found a way to tupperware this and save it for later, and in any case I never see any of those folks outside of the party context, so it doesn't really count. Ever since graduating from high school, the last time I was in such a tribe (although having come from a different junior high school than the others, I still felt like a latecoming outsider, trying to barge in on an existing structure and get accepted), I've found it harder and harder to even find the seeds of such, much less have a full working tribe that I belong to. And now it seems that the tribe I was hoping to head to, the vortex of kin in the Toronto - Kitchener - Waterloo - southern Ontario general area, isn't going to be such either, for various of their interpersonal reasons.

It all just sucks and I don't know what to do. Feh.
