My friend is ok. Maybe not physically, but is mentally very, very, very healthy. And a bit nutty. She just dubbed me the 'paranoidest' girl she ever met. I told her it's not a word.
I'm happy.
But the grandmother of my other friend passed away this morning. I never know what to say to people in such situations. It's impossible not to say anything. "I'm sorry" is so cliched, it sounds almost phony. And I know how needlessly restrained people sometimes are. I hope she's all right.

Paranoidest is a lovely word. Should be in the dictionary if it isn't :-) How else to define Nimms?
How have you been? Me soooo busy at work that I just found sometime to breathe!
And whats with this plain dullish looking background to your blog! I want the Virginia Woolf inspired Light House looking background back :-D
The Virginia Woolf-inspired background makes me feel a bit too virginia-woolfish at night...can't afford to have that back - at least for the time being :)
And it is not dull; it's lovely!
What would you do with 'paranoidest'? I can hardly come up with any sentence...hee...
My days are a bit brighter --> my initially ugly-looking pimple on the nose turned out to be a dainty little red spot after I squeezed it (in anticipation of a decent birthday look). That was something.
Wow, birthday approacheth! Whats the plan Nimms?
About paranoidest and such other words -
I feel the usage of words shouldn't be restricted by grammar or dictionary. Sometimes it is imperative to distort and alter words to get the meaning across. There is a fine line though, between great english and bad english ;-)
So if I said something like "I goed there" (instead of "I went there") you might heckle me, but you would probably admire Shakespeare for his innovativeness if he were to say the same!
Sometimes we cross the barriers of dictionary and grammar almost unconsciously. That is when words such as paranoidest are meaningful :-)
