Capreolate?

So I have recently changed the name of my blog. Yes, that was my first question too. HOW WILL EVERYONE KEEP UP WITH THE CHANGE?! Easy answer, I have one follower.

When I started the blog, I built it around my new 'Internet Name.' You know, like your Myspace name but now we are old enough to not be on Myspace and can upgrade to just your 'Internet Name' for all your odd websites etc. I read somewhere that 'capreolate' meant 'tentacles,' like an octopus, you know? Got super excited for alliteration's sake and created this. Unfortunately, I just Googled capreolate and it means 'having tendrils' and a 'tendril' is a threadlike, leafless organ of climbing plants, often growing in spiral form, which attaches itself to or twines round some other body, so as to support the plant. So that's cool, I guess. But I was kinda hoping for an octopus...

So I was thinking..there must be A LOT of cool words out there that I can still use as alliteration with my name. So why not make it like a Word Of The Day kinda deal?!

And without furthur ado, I shall debut the Alliteration Of The Day: cachinnate; to laugh loudly or inapproperiately. People make fun of my laugh all the time. Not because it is neccesarily loud or inapproperiate, but because I do have a bit of a, eh em, "man laugh" as they call it. Which is true, I mean it is pretty throaty and deep and sounds like a dying man chuckling at times, but you really can't change your laugh. Especially your Dying-of-laughter Laugh. Everyone has their Giggle (that's kinda funny and silly), their Caught-by-surprise Laugh (you accidentally dropped your milk down your shirt; my Caught-by-surprise Laugh is definately a werid snorting sound..), their Polite Laugh (obvi you aren't funny at all but I shall humor you for your sad attempt at humor's sake), and their Dying-of-laughter Laugh. Mine is a man laugh. What am I going to do about it?

I'm trying to think of a deep connection to a laugh, but I really can't think of one. A laugh is just who you are straight up. It's not like a room where things are hidden and covered up or displayed proudly; it's just you. How do you even describe a laugh. Maybe it's the meaning behind the laugh..what you are laughing at, who you are laughing with. That sort of thing that determines what kind of laugh it is...whatever, I got nothing.

Always thinking about: my physics homework, my outfit for tomorrow, the sctructure of buildings, how i forgot to text you back, my iPod, my weekend plans, college, how I would rather be on a long walk, and how much I absolutely adoree your bag/earrings/headband/anyotheraccessory and how I'm going to use it to start a conversation with you. :)
