If a creation of yours were talked of as "Awful, pompous and artificial" a long time ago (don't press me for dates), it would have been a nice compliment indeed!
-The etymology of the terms accounts for the change in meanings from "awe-inspiring, magnificent/splendid and made with art/skill" [respectively] to what they are today.

About Me
- alyssa
- So, I've got a blog that has a heaps of snippets of things I like and opinions and ideas of mine. Those things will probably give you a better idea of me than this little blurb. But three things will orient you as to my situation in life: 1)I'm a christian 2)I'm australian 3)I'm at Uni

Disclaimer:
I am not, as you may justly think, under the delusion that many people, in fact any people, actually visit this blog. Bearing this realisation in mind, this blog is also for me; a sort of record of mostly inconsequential things i have learnt during my life. I have no such high opinion of myself as to think people would be interested in what i ahve to say.
And that is all.
thank you for takign the time to read this message.
