arboa

arboa ~ the mantle of arbness I've worn around my neck this week

And I couldn't even say why. It's not like I've not been having a nice time. I've had some lovely times with Frieda, two very nice evenings with friends. I've had some productive work time, and cooked and eaten some yummy meals.

I even got new olive-green velour sweatpants to glamorously arb around in. You'd think that would make me happy ...

But then, I'm not unhappy. Just arb.

Is it too soon for SAD? 'Cos I might just have a touch of that.

Hmmmmm.

Ok, here we go - a little pick-me-up challenge. I will now search Google Images with the word 'arb' and post the first pic that comes up. Uno momento, por favor.

Oops, that didn't work. Turns out there's a brand of 4x4 accessories called ARB. The first 4 pages is full of it. (Seriously? ARB?)

Let's try 'arbness' (yes, okay purists, its probably not a real world but just play along). 

Oh. My.God. Get THIS: there's only 25 picture references for the "word" 'arbness'. 9 (yup, nine) of them link to my blog.

Am I wildly re-energised by the notoriety? Or feeling even more arb?

Think I better change into those sweatpants and think on it.

Rocking Friday night over here, can't you tell?

    Ummm, Molly? What the heck is arbness? Can I use it in a sentence? Or do I eat it?

    SA terms galore. I've always assumed that it has something to do with arbitrary? But it could also just be the sound the bored cat - Snowball II - on Simpsons makes.
    I think it's awesome though that you have arb notoriety. You are in the pj mafia after all.

    Lol.
    EVERYTHING to do with arbitary. VeG, it's like 'ennui' , but too arbitary to 'lead to violent depression' (thank you Wikipedia). more likely to lead to the couch and some crap TV.

    Um, OK, I LIVE arbness. Why I aspire to be a hermit. Though probably could never quite be as perfect at it as Extranjera.

    I wish life was based on whims, not reason and principles. Wouldn't want to break the law, but wish I had magic powers I could do as I wish (and not what others want).

    abracadabra!

    To arb or not to arb, that is the question.
