Hot tea. I love it so much, I wrote a guide on how to make the perfect cuppa and posted it here.

Room temperature ale or ice cold lager?

Pangram - a sentence, verse, etc., that includes all the letters of the alphabet.

For example (the most well known example, in fact) this sentence:

the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

I'm gonna write me a pangram... maybe.


That's cool. I never knew what those things were until now, thanks for the learnage smile
I think I shall select "Rambunctious" as my word of the day. I love the descriptive nature of it. It sounds hard to control and as if it must be used with caution. Also, I'm feeling a little rambunctious myself, after spraying a bunch of chemicals up my nose (beclometasone dipropionate, to be precise) and that is one of the best side effects of the medication. So, rambunctious it is, until it wears off and it will be a happy, rambunctious memory.
Really, I got William Shakespeare? Very odd... Well, I did write it in a sort-of-archaic style, so that'd explain it. I think I just write like myself. Sure, I have influences, but I have an inimitable style, much like most people who write, whether that be for fun or professionally, one person is very seldom going to say exactly the same thing as another, even when they mean the same thing. Still, quite a fun website. At one point, I got Vladimir Nabokov and Stephen King. If I had any the aforementioned authors' writing chops, I'd be jamming!

Fran, welcome to Stories Space. Feel free to wander about. Word has it most of the members have had their shots and are housebroken, probably.



Speak for yourself, I'm totally unbridled and not at all housebroken!

I am friendly though, so welcome to the site, Fran and here's hoping you have a good time, with us sort-of-sane folk. Random emoticon: not so random emoticon:
Pirates! Because, as George Stobbart said, "pirates are cool!" Arrr, me hearties, give me some wenches and mead!

What's your favourite emoticon.
My word of the day is effulgent. It's a good word, but to me it doesn't sound like what it means: shiny and brilliant or in a person emanating joy or happiness (lifted from Google because I'm too lazy to think of an explanation after las night's shenanigans). Spike in Buffy The Vampire Slayer wrote s poem with the word effulgent in it and I always fall about laughing:

"My soul is wrapped in harsh repose,
Midnight descends in raven-colored clothes,
But soft... behold!
A sunlight beam
Butting a swath of glimmering gleam.
My heart expands,
'tis grown a bulge in it,
Inspired by your beauty...
Effulgent."


If you've seen the scene where the noble dude takes Spike's poem and reads it, scoffing, you'll know the source of my mirth.
I'm fond of the word marsupial, too. It's one of those words that's just so descriptive. I think my word of the day is "WHOOHOO!" because it's been a darned good day smile
My word of the day is "wee". It's not unusual or anything, but has a few good uses, not just for describing size. It can be used as an affectionate term "wee Andrew"; a derogatory term "wee bastard" which, in the case, of KT Tunstall, is what she calls her loop effects pedal, both as endearment and derision. It, oddly enough, can also be used to denote someone who may be wee in stature, but big in spirit. It's a useful wee word.
My word for today is a word that I didn't think even existed ,"frictious". It seems to be a rare or an archaic term meaning of, related to, or caused by friction, according to wiktionary.
