Friending a Frenzy

Mar 07, 2007 11:48

I've seen several people on my flist do friending frenzies in the past. Even gained some wonderful friends through said frenzies. And, for awhile, I've considered doing one myself. So I've decided "Today IS the day!" So I bring you... Amber's Friending Frenzy ( Read more... )

friends, friending frenzy

Hello, y'all.

My name is Samantha. My posting habits are erratic at best, and my posts are often erratic as well; lately I've been linking to unusual or interesting news a lot, and I plan to start subjecting people to decently-well-thought-out rants about politics and etymology.

I rarely talk about my life, but that's really because these days, I'm boring. You really should have caught my LJ when I was actively working as a ProDomme, but it's too late for that now.

My userpics are amusing and (sometimes) relevant to what I'm talking about. I throw fantastic parties, which is kind of useless information unless you're in the Central Texas area. But really--you're invited. See my LJ for directions.

I am a decent cook, I have no children, and the act of friending me has often directly led to an offer of baked goods arriving in the mail. Baked goods that are heavy on the chocolate.

What more can I possibly say?

Mmmm.... chocolate....

It's nice to meet someone else who loves to bake. I don't get as much time to do it as I'd like (Little One doesn't let me get nearly as much done as I used to!) but occasionally, a few people have had a surprise of baked goods show up on their doorstep. Usually cookies... they're far easier to transport than cakes and pies.

I hope you don't mind if I add you?

My husband and I both like to bake. A lot. We have a chocolate store that is superior to many people's spice cabinet. He's the chocolate fanatic; I am just a chick who likes to experiment with different breads and cookies.

I'm making some Mexican spice cookies next week.

I'm just sayin'.

Chocolate is my crack.

I have not had chocolate today.

My precious.

Oh, honey. You don't want that bittersweet chocolate. It doesn't taste like what you're expecting.

But hey, have you tried those new dark chocolate M&Ms? Aren't they the shiznit?

Yeah, probably not. But chocolate is yummy!

No, I have not. I generally prefer milk chocolate. (But that 70% dark chocolate we get from Germany is FANFUCKINGTASTIC. *ahem*)

I'm going to eat one . . . Riiiiight . . . NOW!!!

(Someone gave us an official M&M dispenser at our last party. It's dangerous, because it's fun to operate and once the candies are there, it's practically a crime not to eat them.)

(I love that icon!)

And yep, M&Ms in the dispenser are required eating.

I didn't know that people can rant about etymology. I'm currently teaching English in Korea, but was tutoring a lot of SAT test prep last year in the USA. I had to track down some of the etymology for some of the more common SAT words to help my kids learn how to memorize them. I never found an easy way to do that. How or where is a good place to look?

Baked goods? I used to bake bread, but I've no oven in Korea. It makes me so sad. My LJ has been boring b/c well, I've no time to write. My friends are just too prolific in their own writing. Never worry about thinking that you're boring. SOMEONE will think it's interesting. (Look at me, what caught my attention first, ProDomme? no ... etymology lol)

Hiya!

It's not the most complete source, but I think it's usually accurate: Try the Online Etymology Dictionary, Etymonline. And if you have specific questions, or want suggestions as to other sites for help, I sincerely recommend the knowledgable, helpful folks over at grammargasm. They're the bestestest!

Cheers!
