girlsdontcry's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Facetious Do you ever say a word and then start to get worried that it doesn't, in fact, mean what you thought it meant? I just said "facetious" and that's exactly what happened to me, so I looked it up, and you know in the future I'm just going to say: "I was trying to be funny" because that will be a lot less stressful for me. I had to add another entry because I can't bear to leave something personal up there as the most recent entry. I was reading this entry, Bob the odd guy, and it was very interesting, and I'd been thinking about those idiosyncratic (suddenly wanting to make sure that word means what I think it means) things that you don't even realise you do. Like me... I can't set the alarm or programme a microwave to go off at a "round" time, it always has to be a number ending in three or eight or seven or something. And I can't ever throw away a tissue after blowing my nose just once, I have to use it again (I know you probably think that's horrible, but I get worried about running out of tissues). But you just think you're normal until someone notices. I don't like posting diary entries at even times either. .......... I wonder if I'll have to add another entry on top of this one, where I don't refer to having previously written a personal entry. 1:01 p.m. - 2003-01-10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
