Another great limerick from the Omnificent English Dictionary...

This definition of "adolescent" came up as I refreshed the tab and read various limericks at random:

When you move on from just adolescent
And advance to the stage of pubescent,
Don't find it surprising
If matters arising
Turn out to be largely tumescent.

I quite literally cracked up out loud over this one. Clever.


(Edited to add: CBC just aired a commercial for "The Christmas Invasion", airing December 26. Woohoo! *waits with bated breath*)

Another long day.

I just got home about 45 minutes ago from the Toronto Trek concom meeting and subsequent dinner (thank you for the lift, summ3r_daze!). That was a loooooong meeting. I'm zonked. (It probably doesn't help that I only got five hours of sleep last night. But I discovered that the subway-to-Kipling-and-Martin-Grove-bus-to-Dixon route works just as well on Sunday mornings as it does on Monday nights for getting to the airport in less than 90 minutes.)

And I just remembered that I needed to talk to rockgoddes about something today and it totally slipped my mind. Damn me for trying to keep my "hats" separate, as I had a perfectly good opportunity and it completely slipped my mind. (What's your schedule like? I can call you this week sometime, or I can just send you an email - whichever works.)

I wish to register a complaint - those users who post things like "if you can identify the source of this quote, marry me" but then disallow comments on the post in question need to be *thwap*ped upside the head. ;) (Oh, and it's from "Carrie: The Musical." :P )

Ground rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself" and the people who get tagged need to then write a LJ entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people who you want to tag.

1. I have to come off a staircase or escalator on my left foot. Even if it means taking the last two steps at once. (That might have to do with the fact that when I was nine years old, I tripped on the third last step of a staircase and tore the ligaments in my right ankle and fractured my right heel...)


2. I saw someone else on my friendslist say this one too, so maybe it's not as odd as I thought: if I inadvertantly touch something with one hand, I have to touch it with my other hand too. (I don't do that if it's deliberate, for instance if I'm steadying myself while climbing up on a chair to change a lightbulb or some such. Just if it's inadvertant.)


3. When I get up, I go into the bathroom, start brushing my teeth and start running the shower simultaneously. I then walk into the living room, turn on my computer and check my email while brushing my teeth before I actually get in the shower. I shall leave the rest of this "quirk" of mine to your imaginations. ;)


4. After taking a shower, I put on a CD and sing while drying off. More often than not, it's a Pet Shop Boys album. And yes, I continue to sing while using the hair dryer despite not being able to hear the music.


5. Many people read while on the toilet. While I do that occasionally, I often play solitaire on my PDA instead.

Not tagging anyone in particular; if you want to do this one, feel free. (Okay, so I'm not following the rules. Sue me. :P )

( More memeage, cut for the uninterested. )

Boooooo!!! for no "Desperate Housewives" tonight.
