I took a hiatus from my daily journal, hoping that it would open up some time for other writing projects. It did free up some time (this blog is partly the result of that) but I think it was a mistake. So I’m jumping back in, using the same tool I’ve used for the past decade.
(more…)misdenunciation (mis-dih-nuhn-see-ey-shuh n ), n. the act or habit of using a word incorrectly for false public censure or condemnation. Ex.: the misdenunciation of all unfavorable news as “fake.”
I hate introductions.
I know; that first sentence is an introduction. It’s probably inevitable, since every essay has to start somewhere.
(more…)alteruism (awl-ter-oo-iz-uh m), n. the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to changing others for their own good.
I’ve had the same license plate for something like 25 years—on my last five vehicles, at least. OH ICK.
It still sums things up perfectly.
(more…)internity (in-tur-ni-tee), n. 1. the infinite, endless, or seemingly endless state or condition of working in an organization for little or no pay, in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements of qualification in an occupation or profession with few or no available jobs. 2. Medicine. the timeless state into which the medical student passes upon graduation from medical school.
clausetrophobia (klawz-truh–foh-bee-uh), n. an extreme or irrational fear of sentence fragments.
As awesome as my trip to Iceland was—and it was awesome!—I do have a few regrets, things I could have done that would have made this amazing trip even more amazing.
(more…)snowfake (snoh-feyk), n. a person who displays a spurious and often hypocritical sense of outrage over comments that challenge his or her sense of entitlement.
Mildly introverted. Mostly harmless.
