BioThis blog is a mirror blog of my entries regarding linguistics on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/je_t_emmerde. the bio there is the same as here, so it's a direct quote:
"So you want to know about me, huh??? well, this journal is for expounding upon linguistics. You won't find out much about me here. If you wish to read my mindless self indulgent livejournal, you can actually find out more about me there: http://www.livejournal.com/users/fragranceoflife
Linguistics student at CU Boulder. Word Nerd. Crazy Bird Lady. unpredictable.... some say a "loose cannon." whatever. If you used to know me back in the day, I was probably not nice to you. Either that, or you may have bet me you'd win at Scrabble and I took your cash. see? I was meant to be a linguist.
I am a know it all about music most people have never heard, and don't want to hear, until it appears in pop culture. Then, those same people think they heard it first. I am a self-avowed music snob. I hang out with college radio geeks. they call themselves officanados. But the rest of the world knows they're geeks. I am an officianado too.
I guarantee you've seen me at Paris. I'm there a lot.
My favorite pastimes are: Reading the dictionary (and I do mean READING it), rollerskating, and going out to coffee at snobby cafes. I like to talk about snobby stuff there. I also like to demonstrate my scrabble braun there. However, my husband doesn't like that, so I try to refrain these days.
You'll like this blog if you like linguistics, words, literature or word games. You'll like this blog if the dictionary is your favorite book. You may like it but disagree with it if you are a grammarian. You will probably dislike it if you hate the soft sciences or converseley, if you think that you're too cool for school. I despise the politics of popularity. If you're into that, go away. You won't like it here.
That said...I started writing here expressly for the purpose of expounding upon linguistics. The motivation for this is that my husband rolls his eyes and starts groaning whenever he hears terms come out of my mouth like "glottal stop", "William Labov" or "semantic field". he also groans when I start a sentence like this: " well, you know, Ebonics is a misnomer..." (now insert mental vision of me snorting and pushing up a pair of taped bridge Buddy Holly spectacles, and you have a picture of what he thinks of my studies...) So I had to start this journal as a way of talking to people who appreciate my special brand of 'nerd'.
I add almost anyone, regardless of whether you heeded the admonitions above or not. If you still want to add me after reading that, be my guest. Except webcam girls. Webcam girls are not invited. Neither are webcam boys.
join up and be part of the linguistics revolution!"
