\Hy*per”bo*le\, n. [L., fr. Gr?, prop., an overshooting, excess, fr. Gr. ? to throw over or beyond; “ype`r over + ? to throw. See Hyper-, Parable, and cf. Hyperbola.] (Rhet.) A figure of speech in which the expression is an evident exaggeration of the meaning intended to be conveyed, or by which things are represented as much greater or less, better or worse, than they really are; a statement exaggerated fancifully, through excitement, or for effect.
99% of the content on this blog is hyperbole. Except the part about how cold it’s been in this part of the office – it really is that cold. Other than that though, It’s usually written to be entertaining. My life is far from that exciting – so I live vicariously through the imaginative crap I post on here.
Why am I bothering to try to clarify? I am dumb enough to have a link to this site on my MSN profile. So every time I add someone to my messenger list (lately, it’s been boys that I might like to date one of these days), that new contact inevitably checks the profile, and comes here to read (hi everyone!). That means lately they’ve been getting stories about condoms and lube and turkey and freezing and black leather boots.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s much of the reason our encounters never move very far past one or two messenger chats. But to hell with them! If they can’t appreciate my creativity and oddball sense of humour, who needs em!
Then again, I also have this picture as the front picture on my profile, so I’m pretty much asking for trouble.
Ah yes, Jens and guns. Can it ever get any better than that ?
PS: you need to reload in that picture.
😛
Cam.
Ahh, the good old days.
No make-up, no sissyness, just two Jens and guns.
Life was great that day. (still is….)
Wow… a heavily armed Peechie *yikes*
Perhaps they’re unclear that you want to date them, not intimidate them 😉
Although quite frankly, I think any boy reading your blog who gets intimidated ought to have his head examined. You’re bright, sassy, fun and you’re not afraid to express your opinions. How can anyone be put off by that?
[Oh right…the gun thing 😉 ]
Hahahah… yeah I remember seeing that picture a long time ago, before I met you, and wondering exactly what kind of person you really were. I have to say it wasn’t very encouraging to me. But now that I know you, it’s funny to see it again.
hee. Well, that’ll definitely attract SOME form of boy… maybe not the kind that you want, but whatever. 🙂
*ROTFLMAO* No wonder why you’re scaring the hell out of all the boys! 😉
You are a sexy bitch.
I’d date you.
In fact.. what are you doing Friday? *grins*
You know, for a moment there I was worried that you weren’t using proper ear protection. But then I spotted that hint of orange in your left ear. Way to eschew the big, goofy-looking ear muffs. That would have detracted from the femme-fataleness of the photo a bit.
