Periantari "vocab" and LotR Fandom is Love list ;)

Jun 05, 2006 00:20

Some useful periantari vocab (to understand her LJ better ;):

"dead-ified" (new word! ;) -- when peri an is so hyper and so literally squee-ing and aww-ing to no end because of what suspenseful, good fanfic does to her that she is not functional fro a while and goes hyper to no end. :P
A newly made up periantari vocab word, she gets "dead-ified" when there's an occassional update of fic that she's been following. Usually when the author writes too darn well and makes something too darn angsty/interesting/exciting, that will "deadi-fy" peri an. :P When she is "dead-ified", she will hyperventilate and grin and forget very much what time it is. :P Oh yeah, she can also be really "dead-fied" with really hot hobbit iconses. :) Blends, pretty colors, cropping--stuff like that. :)

"to Frodo" --to do anything LotR, Tolkien related. :P (oldie but goodie)

"squee" --fro hobbits and LotR of course. ;)

hyperventilate-- she used to have an AIM away message that read "stop hyperventilating like that" --usually refers to fanfic updates that makes her squee to no end. :) (therefore breathing becomes secondary. ;)

...

And at long last... i'm going to post slightlytookish and my "LotR Fandom is Love" list inspired by when this person put a "Fandom love" list out...several months ago. :P
