Camy's Thang!!!

I'm not sure, between pondering exactly what a despotic butterfly would be, and the actual reason anyone would use 'the dog's bollocks' as an nth degree superlative -- oh, wait, excuse me: scrub the apostrophe! -- that I have the wherewithall to actually come up with any non fatuous advice.Fatuous advice I have much of. Too much, really, and would love to hand some out, willy-nilly, just to rid myself of it to leave room for something worthwhile.But non fatuous? You'll have to appeal to some of your more sober and sedulous freinds, I'm afraid.C

Right away I'm confused by Cole's advice to you, Camy. I had to look sedulous up, and Dictionary.com tells me it comes from the Latin 'sedulus' meaning 'of uncertain origin.' Now who calls friends things like that? What sort of friends does Cole think you have, Camy? Maybe Cole should pay less attention to his willy-nilly. I'd take umbrage, if I were you.

I can't afford to take umbrage. I suppose I could cozen some, but Shank's tourmaline is far more redolent of what some nimby pronker might have in mind. And as for sober! Pah, hic. Where's the fun in that if you just get to see their willy-nillys?Mad? Moi? I'll have you know that ....Speaking of which: the windows beta of Scrivener is released tomorrow. I'm one excited puppy (woof) emu (squark)!

I have to take umbrage here. Well, not real umbrage, but spurious umbrage. Which will work just as well.I would never suggest Camy has friends of uncertain origin. Why, that sounds like I'm accusing him of hanging out with aliens or underworld creatures. Now I know he's perfectly capable of writing about critters like that, but I'd never propose that he is as one with them.No, I was using the more common and widely used definition of sedulous, which mean someone assiduous, persistent and careful in how they do things. I might offer 'persnickety' as a synonym. I figured people like that would just be full of fatuous advice.Although, come to think of it, 'of unknown origin' does have a appeal to it. I can think of several people I could apply that to. And the good thing is, they'd never know what I was talking about, and simply smile at me and walk away.Acutally, that happens a lot to me already, and I don't even call anyone that.C

My word web defines sedulous as "Marked by care and persistent effort"It's the NaNoWriMo that worries me, sounds like a fourth member of the 3 stooges, or somebody at Monty Python dropped the box with all the words in it and can't get them back into the right order.Best of luck Camy.

And I hope we all get to see the entry when it's completed.C
