OED and a pic!

Does anyone know where I might be able to access to an Oxford English Dictionary online, or know where I can look something similar up for free? I'll admit to being way too lazy to hit the library for this one.

And for saltcandy: A picture to show that I was TOTALLY Lolita, before people knew about Lolis.





This was for a Halloween party I went to with my best friend Becky (the little Geisha girl there) at the International house on the IUPUI campus. Yes, we were chasing Dutch and other non-English-speaking men. This is, maybe, 18 years ago? I'll have to ask Becky. She's one of those people whose mutant power is to remember exactly what year we did which idiotic thing.

(Upon seeing this picture, sharpeslass marveled that I didn't make myself sexier for this party, but I think I totally found a boyfriend anyway. The following year I was "The Terminatrix." Or maybe that was the "drowning victim from the Love Boat" year. I was not a girl to purchase boring, sexy costumes from Spencer's.)

Thank you! Darn them, they just don't want that whole version out there, do they? Well, I suppose it is pretty huge and probably represents centuries of research... :)

Do you sew? I might have someone else sew me a costume (coffcoffMom), and I've had a few very cool ones that way, but I can't sew for crap. :)

And LOL, I'd totally forgotten about this pic. I have a drawerful of pictures that I'd forgotten all about! Of course I can't find any of my best, or worst, however you look at it, hair. I.e., when I had it magenta, or shaved at the sides, or the time I had a mullet, or whatever. Pout.

I just think they are being pricks witholding valuable information! ;-)

Yep, I sew. Largely self taught, but I have this amazing ability to create costumes without a pattern if I have to. I'm told this is centuries of family genetics, starting off in 1600 with french silk weavers and right up to the present, because my mum was asked to work on the Queen's coronation robes! (I'm in heady company!)

Hey, if your mom is volunteering to sew for you, take her up on it!

Oh I would love to see your piccies if you find them - my sister had blue hair at one point and a mohawk. We are not a conventual family by any stretch of the imagination!
