OED and a pic!
Sep. 13th, 2008 09:20 amDoes 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.

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.

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.)

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.
