Is that a winnowing fan you have there or are you just happy to see me?

[aimeesworld]

My classics lecturer said this the other day, I wrote it down in my diary because it made me laugh, and I can now no longer recall what it was about even after looking through my notes for passages on winnowing fans. Clearly, I am losing my mind. What is a winnowing fan anyway?

Just started Pride and Prejudice essay, have got into unfortunate

Similar to an Winnowing Oar?

What an excellent first line that is. I'd expect you to do very well if you managed to use it. Not that I'd expect you to do less than very well in any circumstance.

Also, the Word short-cut for italicizing is CTRL+i, though you've probably worked that out by now.

[aimeesworld]

That would be the episode it was talking about, yes.

Thank you. I hope this essay goes well as it's a book I am such a major nerd about.

I know the word shortcuts, I've just got into a habit of using italics in my lj too much.

[manky_lank]

Oh really? I had absolutely no idea you'd even HEARD of Pride and Prejudice. :-P

That's good. Short-cuts really do save so much time. I like it when people understand how to use computers.

There's also nothing wrong with italics. One can never add too much emphasis.

[aimeesworld]

Sometimes there is something wrong with italics but not, I feel, when I am trying to italicise a title.

Accounting?
Sensible?
Us accountants snort stuff too...!

[aimeesworld]

Hahaha. Awesome. It just seemed like a more sensible degree than English.

there is answer to everything, even if it's not the right one.

[da_crazy_1]

chemistry is not sensible, but sometimes it is fun. except for when lina burns her thumbs. silly girl...

accountancy is sensible but mind numbing, i fear. so you have chosen a good choice.

i am the blushing type and it is terrible. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. i wish i didnt, i truly truly wish i didnt.

illegal? i cant believe you broke the law! :O although, i have too, so maybe i should not call the kettle black... (i never got that saying...)

i am amused at you thinking you had a plumber come around at 5am in the morning. hahahaha.

a winnowing fan? a fan (person) who is acting like a cross between a window and a widow? or a fan (thing) that is waving about like the way a willow tree does and the way a minnow swims?
there is answer to everything, even if it's not the right one.

my sister is rambling/grumbling about greys anatomy but i wasnt listening. so i dunno what she said.

I know Chemistry is not sensible - I took it in 6th form. Fish disolving in acid and all that.

I know I have chosen a good choice (for me).

I am glad I don't blush, but sometimes I feel like it would be a very romantic novel thing to do. I have no romance in my soul.

MY TRANSCRIPT IS INVALID IF THE SEAL IS BROKEN. Never fear, I have extra copies still in their envelopes. I just wanted to know what it said before I handed it out to people. Also, my illegal is less illegal than your illegal, ner.

I am never going to live that one down.

That was an answer, though certainly not the right one.

BURKE IS GONE HURRAH. Also, Derek is a dick.

Re: Grey's stuff

Agreed.

I CRIED when Cristina was all hysterical. And I feel so sorry for Meredith because Derek is a DICK.
You know there's something wrong when Richard and Adele are the high point of an episode.

I saw a girl in one of my classes today who looked a lot like you -- at least, what I think you look like. It was cool. If I did see you walking down the street I would totally stop to say hello and buy you a squishie *grins* Just sayin'..

[aimeesworld]

It probably wasn't me, unless I've been teleporting to Australia without my knowledge. Ditto to that last sentence :D

[cazzicles]

Well, see, that's the thing, isn't it? Without your knowledge. Nothing can be proved or disproved in this case because, as you yourself have said, it could potentially have happened whilst unaware. Don't worry, I'll tap you on the shoulder and say g'day next time.

[aimeesworld]

Hahaha, I feel sorry for the poor girl who looks like me (unless it is me, in which case Kia Ora!)

[da_crazy_1]

also, i love how i am one of your tags. *love*.
i clicked it to see what else i am mentioned in and saw the post after when you saw HRHB. OMG.
life was so less complicated last year!
i don't miss hrhb anymore... he was awesome though *tear*
i saw heath ledger guy from the book shop who has dreads wearing a poncho today! it was awesome.

[aimeesworld]

You are one of my tags because you are made of awesome.
Oh man, HRHB nostalgia. Have you told Jack about him? He might get jealous :P
I remember the days when HRHB was about as complex as we got.
I love that guy, he's awesome!!

[da_crazy_1]

win + awesome= greatness. or folly.
