Sometimes, the forum will yield a diamond in the rough. The Heretic's profile makes for such fun reading as to be considered a diamond. He bangs on about heresy a wee bit, then we come to this fascinating entry...
"Occupation:
Deifying the word of god"
Hahahahahahahahahaha........ *pause for breath* Let me explain. I'm assuming here that this guy has a passing acquaintance with the meaning of the word heresy, which is this.
her·e·sy
n. pl. her·e·sies
An opinion or a doctrine at variance with established religious beliefs, especially dissension from or denial of Roman Catholic dogma by a professed believer or baptized church member.
Adherence to such dissenting opinion or doctrine.
A controversial or unorthodox opinion or doctrine, as in politics, philosophy, or science.
Adherence to such controversial or unorthodox opinion.
"Deify" means this.
de·i·fy
tr.v. dei·fied, dei·fy·ing, dei·fies
To make a god of; raise to the condition of a god.
To worship or revere as a god: deify a leader.
To idealize; exalt: deifying success.
......
I think he meant "defying the word of god" (who, by the way, has a capital G), don't you? Conclusion: Best. Typo. Ever. |

No financial ruin, at least not this month :)
Yes, I discovered that at the weekend that I had 30€ to live on until my next instalment of moneyings (exactly where did I put so many €s this month? I blame Dijon Monopoly, and Monoprix). Also the bank decided that the cash machines (at which one can do deposits as well as taking outage, so I do all my banking at the machines) would all be broken, suspiciously similarly, implying virus to my paranoid mind (more likely a problem with the main computer that runs them). So I was a bit stressed, as for me every month involves hiking money out of my UK account and dumping it in my French one (laughing in the face of Commission Charges, and linking arms in a chummy manner with Convenience).
But today the machines are back up, so I was made cheerier by being able to get mah moneh. It rather stresses me when I suspect that financial ruin is just around the corner :o
Dijon is a city of pirates (and I see a pair of pirate-style over-the-knee boots in a shop in town, must have). France is a country of pirates I think, because pirates can be found in the South, East and North of this fine country (that I've seen anyway). But! Dijon itself is a city of CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS.
Emma Thompson* works behind the counter in Monoprix (I'd think she'd come down in the world, but it is Monoprix after all, which is the best shop ever). Emmanuelle Béart* and John Cusack* are in my seminar set for Droit Privé. But! I was suitable impressed to find that Oppernar* is also in my Privé set, albeit without the glasses and with a haircut. Omg.
________
*may not be actual celebrities.**
**may be just lookalikes.***
***but still.****
****I like footnotes. |

Ahahahahahaaa.... oh my!
Today I saw this sign in my halls of residence (apologies for blurriness, I was rushed in taking this so as not to look like nutter).
i.e., we're apparently forbidden from drinking alcohol in this residence.
I'll be ignoring this sign, then!
Cake for anyone who can tell me why a student halls of residence expects that students will really obey this notice. (Professional help for anyone who thinks this notice is right...) |

I HAVE ACQUIRED DIJON MONOPOLY woot! Yay. I've been looking at it for weeks. Also woolly tights, which are the best type of tights (tied with fishnets) and you know it to be true.
I got another 30euro book token from the bank when I opened my second bank account so I acquired Jennifer Gouvernement (Max Barry (hehe French spelling)), also L'idealiste ("The Rainmaker" - John Grisham) and a very very pretty notebook, woo.
Galeries LaFayette might well think that tights are worth 32 euros, but Monoprix knows this is a lie and that 11 euros for the same thing from a different brand is entirely right in fact. I mean. 32 euros is about twenty pounds! That's a bit much for tights, innit?
A picture! wtf!!!11one
 <-- I have boot envy |
