Verbification has been around forever ;) I do it all the time. Another similar thing is hmm... shall we call it conjugification? Where you conjugate English verbs (which don't conjugate all that much) according to the rules of conjugation of another language (in my case, most often Latvian. My classmates when I was in Latvian school and I would do it all the time).
Conjugification! I do that sometimes--conjugating Latin with English rules, such as they are. In Latin class, we used to call it our own language--Languish. XD
Well, I can say this: Norman Stone's The Eastern Front 1914-1918 would put an insomniac to sleep. Seriously. It's all names and numbers and more names and a random map! and then more -vitches and -nikovs as far as the eye can see.
Ooh, I can top that - Norwich University 1819-1911: Her History, Her Graduates, Her Roll Of Honor... Volume 1.
I swear, this book has every single little detail about just about every cadet who passed through my school during this time, and goes into insanely long detailed pages of various marches and finances of the university. All while glossing over the time when the founder and president of the place was kicked out of his own college.
I'm going to stay up here at the library until it closes at 12--then I'll probably come home and conk out. It's not going too badly right now, but I've been switching back and forth between Greece and WWI.
So if I send it to you tomorrow night, make sure I don't mention Franz Ferdinand anywhere, okay? XD
And it kind of made my night, too. What an astonishingly oblivious girl.
I'm going to be up for a while. I somehow managed to utterly avoid work all of yesterday, and I'm playing catchup right now, mainly to get the readings out of the way for Sem, so I can focus on other things later this week. Check in - I'll be wanting a diversion at some point, and Greece is a cool place :)
I just discovered that my WWI paper only has to be 1-2 pages. I am now doing a wiggly happy dance in the rolly library chair. (I give you this description so that you might be amused at the mental image.) So I'll probably just finish drafting that tonight, then come home at 12.
well. i'm at home and coming back sometime tomorrow, and when i get back, i have to write a paper for dr zionkowski. but if you want someone to keep you on track at anytime tomorrow night, i'm there. so yeah. be good.
Aw, I miss Dr. Zionkowski. She's so tiny and birdlike and non-threatening...and her office always smells a little bit like saltwater or something.
I get the idea that you and I would be almost as bad as Elizabeth and I at keeping each other on track. XD Because Elizabeth and I tend to wind up going "fuck this noise, I want ice cream" and abandoning everything until the last second. Which is usually, though not always, a bad idea.
ALSO: i'm probably entirely behind you, but since you didn't know unc had a library science program, i'm going to go out on a limb and say here ya go. there's a list of schools with accredited programs. and for the love of god, let me know where you go. i don't like being places alone, and honestly, i had no idea you wanted to be a library nerd like me. loveyouloveyouloveyou. and you're my hero. so yeah. that was babbling and nerding and and and dewey decimal? dewey ever! there. done.
