quirkyalones
Feb. 20th, 2004 01:28 pmWhile shelving books today, I saw the strangest word on the back of a book, written by the LA Times: unputdownable. ... It's actually in dictionary.com, but when the hell did "unputdownable" become a real word? Eesh. I fear the decline of American English.
Also discovered a relationship book titled Quirkyalone. Made note of it and searched it when I got home.
quirkyalone (kwur.kee.uh.lohn) n. adj.
A person who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than date for the sake of being in a couple. With unique traits and an optimistic spirit; a sensibility that transcends relationship status. Also adj. Of, relating to, or embodying quirkyalones.
Looks like there's a label for me now :-P I only wish it didn't sound so dorky.
And taking the quiz:
How quirkyalone are you?
Your score was 98. Very quirkyalone:
Relatives may give you quizzical looks, and so may friends, but you know in your heart of hearts that you are following your inner voice. Though you may not be romancing a single person, you are romancing the world. Celebrate your freedom on National Quirkyalone Day, February 14th!
Oh. And the muffler to the Bronco has become unattached and was dragging on the road as I drove home. [facepalm] Mom's gonna go with me later to see if they can fix it.
