What are peoples' thoughts on RP applications submitted via web form? Like, you type each field in like you would a job application, then hit submit. I'm toying with the idea (VERY vaguely) for BW, but I have a feeling it might just be more trouble (for the applicant, not me) than its worth. Thoughts?

Also, while I'm here, I have, in my fickleness, changed the opening hold date again. It'll be morning sometime on the 15th of December.

Is anyone on my flist considering a pureblood boy at BW who is in need of a girlfriend/future wife? I really want to pick up a 5th year Ravenclaw girl.


(anyone who is interested please comment, I'd rather talk to multiple people to make sure I find the right fit -- assuming ANYONE is interested anyway!)

[info]bilo: I remember the first time I went to the states was the visit my friend in Florida, and at one of the airports they had a Fox store.
[info]bilo: Like, Fox news.
[info]bilo: And I wanted to cry.
[info]sherlock: lmfao fox news
[info]bilo: I feel like the experience was equivalent to if Sirius went to a new country and they had a Snape store.

1. My username is ______ because ______: ~sherlock because I have been in love with Sherlock Holmes since I was seven and my mom started reading them to me (she started with 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' and that shit is legit scary when you are 7, seriously)

For the record, and I am sure I will get shot, Jeremy Brett > RDJ


2. My name is _____ because ______: 'didja just pitch up from mars?' because the Catherine Tate/David Tennant sketch is too goddamned funny for words. it matches my PSL journal too :)


3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: it's not, because I am twitchy about aesthetics and I don't like the way titles make my userinfo look. IF I had one it would be: 'I can rock and roll from like 1 to 3' because Rolemodels is the best movie ever, let's be honest


4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: CHRISTMAS DOLPH (~memories~) -- yesterday it was ZQuint, whom I adore (specifically from a picture I used in a game to detail out a storyline I had with Kira's awesome Gabriel) -- but now it's time to bust out seasonal Dolph again.

1. My username is ______ because ______: [info]amor_remanet; Well, back at the end of ninth grade, when I got my first livejournal, I'd been using Duanya as an online alias (still seen in my email address) and various forms of Sailor Moon-themed silliness as backups. Duanya came from a D&D character who got shot in the face and died; the Sailor Moon stuff was just me being an obsessive fan-nerd. Anyway, when I got to LJ, I wanted to do something ~different~ and ~new~… so I put my four years of Latin class to work and made up a Latin username. It translates to "love remains," which I thought was being Poignant And Cool… and then it just stuck and I'm too attached to change it.

2. My name is _____ because ______: "Kassie: a wild tl;dr monster" because, for ages, it was "Kassie, guardian angel of emo angsty boys" courtesy of something [info]sherlock said on some snaps cup meme (I think it was a snaps cup meme anyway?) a while back, and as much as I loved that name, I thought a change was worthwhile. Also, I talk too much.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: "no, not the young people. they shall be spared." This is one of my favorite lines from the translation of Strindberg's The Ghost Sonata I read for Theatre History in my freshman year. Mostly, it's because I just really liked that line. Likewise, the subtitle is, "it could be worse! we could be stuck in the audience!" from one of my favorite lines in Muppet Treasure Island. (Statler and Waldorf are the figureheads on the bow of the ship. They're discussing how much it sucks to be stuck on said bow.)

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: Linus and his blue blanket in A Charlie Brown Christmas, forlornly staring at the fail-tree. Because it's seasonal and I've been sort of feeling like the fail-tree lately.

Pet peeve of today: scientists who can't use words correctly but are allowed to publish anyway.

A brief guide to penultimate, cf., ca., inflammable, and ambivalent


PENULTIMATE

pene- before or almost
ultimate the last of something

what penultimate means. next to last.

what penultimate does NOT mean. some step further than ultimate. that would make the word ultimate pointless.


CF.

what it is. from Latin confer, meaning to compare or consult. It is intended to provide a reference to some other work against which one might compare the current work -- that is, it is meant to be used to indicate a source with different arguments, data, or conclusions.

what it isn't. A substitute for "see" in the "see Figure 1" sense. You do not say cf. Figure 1. EVER.


CA.

what it is. from Latin circa, meaning 'around.' It is used to refer to dates.

what is isn't. a go-to substitute for 'approximately,' particularly in the 'approximately 100nm thick' sense.


INFLAMMABLE

in into
flammable lol obviously

what inflammable means. combustible, flammable, settable on fireable

what inflammable does NOT mean. nonflammable. come on guys you do this for a living.


this is not a science mistake but it bugs me anyway so I'm throwing it in.

AMBIVALENT

ambi both
valence the capacity of a person to react with another in a special way

what ambivalent means. uncertainty, caused by having to make a choice or by conflicting/opposite emotions.

what ambivalent does NOT mean. indifferent, apathetic. STOP. USING. IT. LIKE. THIS.

A person needs to be loved the most even when they deserve to be loved the least.
