"Glided" never sounds correct to me. I propose that it be replaced by the more melodious "glode," with "glidden" as the past participle. Try making some sample sentences and see if you don't agree.

Someday I will begin to treat every English verb as excitingly irregular, and conversing with me will become an event. Until then, I'm going to sit here on the couch and enjoy the first few uninterrupted hours of conscious solitude I've had since I arrived here.

abuses of language, sometimes i do these things
