I still have the theme song from last night's dream going through my head.

What does it mean when your dreams give you earworms?

Anyway, me and a group of people walked into a large room, reminiscent of the SABAs' main room. I was trying (I think) to encourage them into something, and so I began to sing and dance... Eventually some joined in. Especially on the line "I gave my life awaaaaaay" yeah. Yeah yeah. Oh no no no yea yeah. Love me, I said, yea yeah. It sounded quite good, as I remember. Each individual voice played a part audibly different from the others. And it was definitely the people there singing, not lip-synching to Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

And then we went outside into an arcade and had coffee and pastries at the coffee cart.

Damn, I wish I had dreams like that. All I get is usually a lot of being-lost-in-a-strange-city-whilst-touring dreams. And my SO turning into a giant evil slug from Jupiter. And me being asked (in the George-was-still-alive days) to fill in for Lennon at a Beatles reunion gig. :P

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that's only because you patch into the nifty alternate realities while you're awake. *grins, ducks, runs*

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

Well, there is that :D

And now you too can patch into them, along with Freya and the rest. I just modded you in. Go forth and choose yourself a title, if you don't want me to choose one for you, hee.

BTW I finally got some real sleep last night - and wouldn't you know it, the delayed fibro response to the past three days has now kicked in. Oh well, I'm...sanguine. Yeah, sanguine :-)

You're bloody? Hold on, French switch... off. OK. Yes. Blood?

[reverancepavane.livejournal.com]

Latin. I suppose this means we all have to humour her?

[freyaw.livejournal.com]

Mais non, m'sieu, j'ai tout de ma sanguine!

Actually, I need to check if I've used the right tense, or if I'm just tense all over...

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

Only if you're...phlegmatic about it :P

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

Phbbbtttbbbttt! Sheesh, goths...

:P :P :P

*pout* Technically I'm too happy to be a goth... I'm just a scion of Chateau Sanguinaire (Dad took a university joke too far - not that he didn't a) hurt himself enough in rugby to deserve the name, b) make a nuisance of himself enough to deserve the name (apparently a lecturer exploded with temper and the nickname BLOODY WILSON was born the one time he wasn't involved in the practical joke), and c) deserve it on general principles).

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha! Your father's KEVIN BLOODY WILSON! Bwahahahahaha!

~runs away yet again~

[freyaw.livejournal.com]

Nah, he's a John. Buggrit, I can't think of a pun to add. I'm sure there's a good one there somewhere, but I need to go pack.

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

What, all blood-coloured?

I swear that the word "sanguine" has to have the language's most unfortunate juxtaposition of meanings. I'm sure there is a term for this, too - I'd thought it was a heteronym, but it's been suggested to me that heteronyms differ in pronunciation as well as in meaning, so now I'm not sure.

Sorry to hear you've flopped again, though; I sympathise all too well.

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

I'm often sanguinary too, if that helps :P

Nah, not a heteronym - just a word with various meanings/shades of meaning. A heteronym (or geekeronym, perhaps, in this case!) would be something like the IT community's insistence on pronouncing "cache", when it's specifically used in an IT sense, as "kaysh" :-)

(We'll just quietly ignore those who *always* pronounce the word as "kaysh" just because they're Iggernt, hee)

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

So heteronyms do have to be heterophonic, then? I thought the very existence of the heterophonic descriptor meant that you could potentially have non-heterophonic heteronyms. And not having a term for a word with multiple disparate meanings for its single given spelling and pronunciation seems like something of an omission.

Oh, well.

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

I am from Barcelona.

:P

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you are, dear, but that reference went straight over my head.

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

~giggles~ What I meant was that - what with my being as much a self-taught barbarian in English grammar as I am in music - when I read your So heteronyms do have to be heterophonic, then? I thought the very existence of the heterophonic descriptor meant that you could potentially have non-heterophonic heteronyms., I had a sudden moment of feeling like the perpetually-confused Manuel from Fawlty Towers. That was his cover-all response when face with English too complicated for him :P

But yes, I actually do understand what you're saying, and no, my understanding of heteronyms is that they have to be spelt exactly the same but pronounced differently!

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

That's just it - all I could think of was that you were attempting to channel Manuel, and that seemed incongruous given your somewhat authoritative stance on the matter upthread.

Obviously, I should just learn to expect random bouts of incongruity from you. *wry smile*

Authoritative? Moi? Eek!

That would be a "d'oh!" followed by a "duh". I'm so incongruous that starship companies plot tourist flights through me :D

That sounds...really quite painful.

Re: Authoritative? Moi? Eek!

It's been known to cause - wait for it - quantum haemorrhoids. Boom boom!

[shadow-5tails.livejournal.com]

Gah. *beats you with a wiffle bat*

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

~scuttles off to the bath, suitably chastised~

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

...or even when faced. Hee.

There's also the one from last week involving a ginger brindle domestic cat that was about hip-height tall when sitting down. For some reason he was very organised, but never talked...

... a ginger brindle domestic cat that was about hip-height tall when sitting down

To you or everyone else?

*duck*

Yeah I know. I have _NO_ room to comment. Yes, actually I am standing up dammit. ;)

[freyaw.livejournal.com]

*reruns sequence*

He appeared to end at almost exactly the same height on everyone, so either everyone was my height or he was changing size so as to be at perfect head-caressing height to the nearest human. I don't remember if anyone did pet him or not, but it wasn't in such a fashion as caused him to lose his dignity if they did.

And I know you're standing up - I can see the boots wot make you taller ;)
