The Trouble with Tangential Posting :P

Athena - 3-22-2004 at 04:52 AM

Ok here's what I hate! Somehow in the flurry of getting ready to leave town for work, drinkin' myself into St. Patty's Day oblivion and attempting to deal with taxes, I managed to miss close to a week of postings. :(

But the stinky part is when doing dotnet catch up reading, as I scroll through the show updates, band news, and through a plethora of smileys doing dirty things in nasty ways, I always feel like I'm missing stuff 'cause of cross topic conversations. Boo. Don't ya HATE that! :mad::mad::(:(

Is someone being told off? Erm what does Tangential mean?

Athena - 3-22-2004 at 05:34 AM

tangential
adj 1: of superficial relevance if any; "a digressive allusion to the day of the week"; "a tangential remark [syn: digressive] 2: of or relating to or acting along or in the direction of a tangent; "tangential forces"

And I'm venting mostly. Maybe my smileys came off a bit too strong. hehe.

Erm.. what does all that mean as well :lol::lol:

You have never heard of someone going off on a tangent? It means going off-topic. As in to talk about something that has nothing to do with what you started talking about...

:o UGh. I just realized you were probably joking about that. Hmm. I get way too excited to use my dictionary.com definition search widget and do so whenever I can. Silly Athena. :rolleyes:

Edit: And by way of clarification, I'd just like to add that I like scrolling through the pervy smileys. :yes:
