Re: Spoony

[jasexavier]

It turns out that spoony as an adjective and a noun has been in use for hundreds of years, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Who knew? Maybe that wasn't a mistranslation at all.

Also HOLY FUCKING CHRIST it snowed so hard it snowed inside my windows, between the main window and the storm window. Jesus.

I love it.

Bad, yes. Incorrect, no.

I dunno, though. That bard *was* pretty spoony.

Eh, reply to point out anything that suits you. I didn't even know that you still read my journal. I got into October Project when I worked at relay, before you left, so it's possible you had a hand in it. I think it was Beth though.

As far as the spoony thing, it means foolish, or overly amorous, or excessively sentimental, at least according to OED, so not a particularly harsh insult. Appropriate for a bard though, even if it isn't what they originally meant. Especially the amorous part.

As long as we're sort of on the subject of October Project, how do you feel about November Project?
