accent meme
31 January 2011 04:32 pmWhile waiting for people to send their parts in for me to compile and synthesize, I've decided to do this instead of being productive and finishing two other papers. It's the meme that's been going around for the past couple of weeks. Gakked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hells_half_acre:
What I was supposed to record:
Your name and/or username
Where you're from
The following words: Aunt, Roof, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin,
Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Orange, Coffee, direction, naturally, aluminium and herbs
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Hm. It's really difficult to pare it down to just one word or phrase, so I'm gonna bend the rules a bit and list down my favorites:
1. je ne sais quoi: literally, it means 'I know not what' in English, but it's defined as that intangible quality that makes something distinctive or attractive. It beats 'whatness' or 'quiddity' in the long run xD
2. lagniappe: Cajun creole for 'gratuity' or an extra or unexpected gift or benefit. I first encountered this in my organic chemistry textbook, where at the end of each chapter, trivia about the topic is expounded on. (I think the authors were secret Cajun fanboys, haha.)
3. de nada: Spanish, 'you're welcome'. I love it because it has fewer syllables than its English equivalent, as well as its Tagalog equivalent (walang anuman)
4. memento mori: Latin, 'remember you shall die'. So much gravity and doom packed into just two little words. I also love the art that sprung up around the concept, especially the Totentantz art from medieval Germany (which I was able to see when we went to Lübeck xD)
5. Veni, vidi, vici: Latin, 'I came, I saw, I conquered'. It just sounds so much cooler in Latin. Plus, it alliterates! xD
6. bonkers: I love this word. Bonkers. BONKERS. I'M GOING BONKERS HERE. Hahaha. Yes. Um. Yeah. xD
7. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori: Latin, 'It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country.' As Wilfred Owen so aptly put it, it's the greatest lie ever told
8. ad nauseam: Latin, a term to describe an argument that has been continuing to the point of nausea. It sounds so much better and is much more descriptive than 'he/she repeated him/herself over and over until I had to fight the urge to vomit' xD
9. Anno Domini: Latin, 'In the Year of Our Lord'. Again, I love this because it's much more succinct in Latin than in English xD
10. Magis: Latin, 'the more'. I first encountered it at Ateneo. It's the philosophy of doing more than what is asked. I love it because it inspires me to do stuff I'd never thought I'd do. (Such as this list. The meme only asks for just one word, for cripe's sake xD)

the year in review
7 December 2008 10:23 amGakked from boz4pm:
Post the first couple of lines from the first entry each month of 2008.
January: Happy new year, guys! This time, let's stick to our resolutions, eh? ;p
February: Rurouni Kenshin/Star Wars crossover fusion! How can it get any better than this?
March: I've been working on my Theology paper since 11.00pm, and now it's 3.20am. It really doesn't help that I keep on falling asleep on top of my notes. (It's a wonder that I haven't drooled on my copy of the Bible yet.)
April: I just checked my email and found my final exam marks for Theo! I retained my standing! WHEE!!!
May: Heaven is eating copious amounts of ginatang halo-halo while reading fantastic crossover fanfic (Kingdom of Heaven/LotR!), with a Belle and Sebastian song playing in the background.
June: (a meme, then...) I had my eyes checked earlier, because I noticed that all throughout the summer term I kept on squinting at the blackboard/projector screen whenever I took down notes, even as I sat in the front row, wearing contact lenses.
July: Yesterday, this made me late for my first class. We were not amused.
August: So, I just watched Blackadder the Third, specifically the episode with the Scarlet Pimpernel spoof, and OH GOD I just had a brain fart! I want to read a Scarlet Pimpernel/Persuasion crossover. Badly.
September: (a UAAP-related thing I got from Multiply, then...) "Bakit ang blackheads, kung tinanggal, nagiging white?" Ladies and gentlemen, my sister.
October: (Bonfire Night pics, a meme, then...) I just woke up from a nap (in front of the laptop, no less) and a weird dream. It involved Sigmund Freud and B.F. Skinner in a Celebrity Deathmatch-type scenario, you know, that MTV show with the animated clay figures? They were vying for the title of Best Psychologist Evar.
November: (my grades, a meme, then...) Why is it that whenever I read books/fanfics set in Regency England, and the Prince Regent is mentioned, I keep on expecting the narration to go on and say, "Beside the Prince stood Sir Percy Blakeney, Bart., 'la-ing' and 'wot-ing' and generally making an arse of himself and those around him"?
December: (a meme, then...) Started research for my prelab4 at 4.30 and before I knew it, it's 6.45. I've spent more than two hours looking up chemicals and whatnot, and I haven't even started the damn report yet.

European English

Copypasta'd from Liz's Multiply:
European English
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as 'Euro-English' .
In the first year, 's' will replace the soft 'c'. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard 'c' will be dropped in favour of 'k'. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replaced with 'f'. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' with 'z' and 'w' with 'v'.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
