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.)

OMG yess!!! You are the OG Loli! You seriously look like you're 10 years old there. The baby bottle is freaking me out a little, but the bangs are total win. And really, there is no better way to stand out at a Halloween party than to NOT dress sexy. ;)
(All you need to update this Loli costume is a digital camera with pictures of "tourists" in it.)

gah! this reminds me...I have to start thinking about Halloween! I have no ideas! >_<" I want to kick myself for getting rid of my fallback costume...pink, grownup-sized, one-piece footie pajamas with cows printed on it...drunk people always thought I was dressed as a cow.

Pink Footie Pajamas FTW! But no baby bottle to distinguish you from those in cow costume? ;) And you got rid of the jammies??? I know it's cold in the bay area; you could at least have had them for snuggling, heh.

And I agree about standing out! Hey, I dressed slutty to go out partying-- Halloween was a time for dressing like a dork. I even went to a "bondage-themed Halloween party" one year dressed as a member of the B-52s... Y'see, my turquoise dress and yellow tights and beehive stood out among all the black leather and skin. ;)

I have several fallback costumes... only because of all those Worldcons and RenFaires and whatnot. Jedi, stuff like that. Don't think I can fit into my Lara Croft costume at the moment, though. Oops.
